February 9, 201510 yr Interesting article... anyone seen it? More about the company 'Day & Night Ventures' and their takings that the girls set up. http://www.irishpost.co.uk/business/una-fo...with-band-mates wow and the fact they are still owed over £1million from other things. just goes to show they have made some good business decisions - probably with all their shameless product flogging - and that's what has kept them going despite not really selling albums
February 9, 201510 yr Interesting article... anyone seen it? More about the company 'Day & Night Ventures' and their takings that the girls set up. http://www.irishpost.co.uk/business/una-fo...with-band-mates just thinking.... their company made almost £700k in profit last year. They will probably have paid themselves a good wage each before the company calculated its profit. They will put this profit into the company for 2015/16. They could easily self-fund an album with this.
February 9, 201510 yr they could do a big single, standard pop video, usual promo slots, record an album, release it with another single, and not spend more than 250k, if the endorsement deals and maybe a theatre tour also made them 750k per year, they could still get paid 100k each and cover the cost of the record.
February 9, 201510 yr I always wonder about the girl's salaries :lol: Obviously Frankie has a loaded husband :P I'd say Ben and Marvin are doing very well too but would the girls have earned a million each themselves? I mean apparently Alexandra Burke is worth like 6 million after one successful album :lol:
February 9, 201510 yr Rochelle will earn loads from her clothing range and TV presenting. Una is probably next with her coaching role on The Voice of Ireland and I imagine she has the most songwriting credits too. Then Frankie thanks to Strictly, then Mollie because of her clothing selections and public speaking roles, then poor poor Vanessa.
February 10, 201510 yr That article gives me a glimmer of hope! No doubt the girls' business savvy has helped them last as long as they have.
February 10, 201510 yr I think they are on a break at the moment with an unknown, most likely defunked future which is a BIG shame. I don't blame it on any single releases as they lasted much longer than other girl bands in this business and if they do announce an official split I's actually be kinda glad because at least they're being truthful to us this way.
February 11, 201510 yr It's just frustrating that the girls have not officially announced anything. They're going to return with next to none fan base.
February 11, 201510 yr They are just trying to keep their options open. I mean, you never know when First Choice are gonna ask them to sing a few tunes here and there and they are still eligible for the random gigs here and there. Considering that's always how they've done their money anyway, I would say it's smart not to disband as I'm pretty sure they have a lot more chance to endorse things as a group than alone. However, it's indeed very frustrating at the same time.
February 11, 201510 yr There might also be a fear that if they disband it lowers their booking fees. "Saturdays Star Mollie King" veruses "former girlband member Mollie King"
February 12, 201510 yr Vanessa changed her Insta username from 'VanessaTheSats' (or wtv it was lol) to 'Vanessa_White'. It's happening.
February 12, 201510 yr It was really a bit insulting not to tell us properly. Even a Tweet like Girls Aloud would have sufficed.
February 12, 201510 yr Well, I was more thinking about Vanessa's solo venture becoming more and more clear. I also believe a lot more in a indefinite break than a split. They don't have the guts to split.
February 12, 201510 yr At least her twitter is still VanessaTheSats. Edited February 12, 201510 yr by Nelly. S
February 13, 201510 yr Marvin has said in a recent interview he has a track but needs a female vocalist for it, for the Luvbug album. It'll totes be Rochelle
