October 20, 201311 yr I've decided I'd be happy with a Leave A Light On release only if the video features soldiers returning home for Christmas or something. No boring shots of the girls sitting in hotel rooms and airports, please.
October 20, 201311 yr I wonder what sales were for it this week? I'm gonna say 28k. Which would put them around 80k?
October 20, 201311 yr wouldn't that be their lowest opening week sales? Considering The success of What About Us and the fact that DL went top 5, it is quite poor. I really an starting to think that had they released DL after WAU, then something like NGU the week before the album, we could have had things turning out very different!!
October 20, 201311 yr Yeah but you need to take in consideration of the sales climate, the sales aren't dissapointing when you look at how the sales have been for the past few weeks. The only dissapointment in album sales terms is OYR which should've gotten a bigger sale due to Christmas instead of a smaller one.
October 20, 201311 yr If this album had came after Headlines everyone would say it was a disaster, but because it's came after On Your Radar it's saw as a success. They had a #1 single, a top five single and another two minor hits promoting this album plus they're the UK's biggest girl group and have been around for five years so opening with about 10k albums sold is bloody awful, but because it's The Saturdays it's saw as a success.
October 20, 201311 yr Well no, we're not gonna see them as Katy Perry are we? Cause they're not sadly. And WBU won't do much for the album as the albums release didn't depend on the success of that, it depended on the success of gentleman and Disco Love

No and please can you sort out your English please. Seen not saw.
October 20, 201311 yr They are the UK's biggest girlbands by default and they haven't got any era right since chasing lights!! They managed to shift 300k albums, so really they should be improving on that with each release but honestly, their album sales are dire. If anything it seems that their fan base is shrinking. 11/10k opening sales for a girlband that have been around for five years, had 5 albums and countless singles, is really really poor. I really really REALLY do love the Saturdays but being objective, everything considered they really arent that successful. And before you all start with your 'Stop being negative' posts and 'you can't really be a good fan saying that stuff' posts, it's the first time i've ever been negative about the girls.
October 20, 201311 yr I feel this conversation is somewhat familiar. I just hope they do eventually have the album success of at least Headlines again; 205,000 albums sold would be great thanks. But I fear this album will struggle to cross the 50,000 mark.

And before you all start with your 'Stop being negative' posts and 'you can't really be a good fan saying that stuff' posts, it's the first time i've ever been negative about the girls. The UK music industry doesn't work like that though, It's very rare for artists to sell more with every release. Look at the likes of GaGa, One Direction etc they all sold less on there second release. The sales climate is also a factor an artist isn't suddenly going to sell 50k albums when for weeks they've been SO low! 11k really isn't bad when BIG artists haven't been selling that much, look at Jessie J she's selling NOTHING compared with Who We Are. You can't say they are not that successful they are worth more than The Wanted! Just because album/singles sales are low doesn't mean they arn't successful they do far more than most bands, take this year for instance; they have performed a variety of Gigs/Festivals and shows. Yes they may be small but this all helps to keep the cash coming in. You'd be surprised they do better than people think, music isn't the only factor to consider these days!

IKR!! :P everyone keeps worrying about it slipping on itunes and amazon when no one bothers to listen to me.l For the fourth time, Itunes and online retailers only get you far. 3/5 of total sales come from stores, fm malls, where people go to btw Edited October 20, 201311 yr by vivek
October 20, 201311 yr I'm usually very positive. I Love the album, the music, the girls, their tv show was awesome. I've never once came in here to complain or say they aren't doing well or anything like that. I'm usually one of the ones to moan about too much nnegativity but the last time I said that? the response was your deluded. Look I'm not trying to start an argument. I'm saying how I see it and regardless of whether I think they are amazingly successful or not, I'm obviously gonna support them, and just so you know, I've never been as big a fan of anyone as I am of The Saturdays.
October 20, 201311 yr I think next week will indicate the albums success, if it can stick top 220 it wouldnt be a bad result but if it tumbles completely it doesnt bode well.

I don't think it was just aimed at you tbh, the whole convo about them not having good sales or positions has been repeated so many times that it was a matter of time when someone would finally burst
