OH HELL NO.

 

35. Just Can’t Get Enough

 

 

Score: 7.519

Highest Score: 10 x 3 (AdamAloud, Ultraviolence, Totto)

Lowest Score: -1 x 1 (NickF1)

 

For the official 2009 Comic Relief single, The Saturdays were chosen to record their own version of this 1981 Depeche Mode song (fun fact : Vince Clarke from the band actually remixed “Issues” prior to this track even happening). It reached number two in the charts after an intense battle for the Number One spot in the midweeks - which was, in the end, lost to Flo Rida and his first hit “Right Round”. The single is certified Silver, and has sold over 285,000 copies in the UK, placing it tenth on the list of the best selling Comic Relief singles. There are two versions of the track, the video mix, which sounds more like the original ‘80s song, and the radio mix, which is more of a banger.

All that matters.

 

34. Lies

 

 

Score: 7.519

Highest Score: 10 x 4 (JohnKm, MikeSugafan, Martyn, Totto)

Lowest Score: 4 x 1 (Tim)

 

A Chasing Lights track, this was performed on The Work Tour. How great does Frankie sound on it? I should have given it a 10 for that verse alone. I regret now. What do you guys think of this brilliant little ambiant midtempo?

 

 

BLimey Missing You and JCGE out already :o

I think I remember Lies was decent too.

Missing you is probably in my top 10 and Just Can't Get Enough is in my top 3 :cry:

Missing you is probably in my top 10 :cry:

 

I always knew I liked you

33. Walking Through the Desert



Score: 7.538
Highest Score: 10 x 3 (MikeSugafan, Sean, NickF1)
Lowest Score: 1 x 1 (Joe)

The first of the three new Finest Selection songs to leave is poor ‘Walking Through the Desert’. It was performed live on the Greatest Hits tour. I know a lot of you thought this should have been the single instead of “What Are You Waiting For?”, others thought ‘808’ was more suited and there are still some people who think that the A-side was actually rightfully chosen. In any case, what do people think of this one?

 

32. Not That Kinda Girl

 

 

Score: 7.548

Highest Score: 10 x 3 (AdamAloud, Liam, Hurricane)

Lowest Score: 2 x 1 (Tim)

 

Our last b-side to leave us was ‘Flashback’ at #40, so it’s been a bit of a while, no? Sadly, our loss now is the AMAZING ‘Not That Kinda Girl’. It was released with “Notorious” in 2011 and was co-written by The Saturdays and fan favourite production team The Alias. This is actually a really amazing little pop track with a soothing chorus that each girl (bar Una it seams) really carries well. Check out this little acoustic performance they did once. The mix of their individual tones is just so lush.

 

 

All these tragic B-sides

31. Here Standing



Score: 7.558
Highest Score: 10 x 1 (JSG)
Lowest Score: 1 x 1 (Sean)

The next to be eliminated is the track #2 of ‘Wordshaker’. This sweeping ballad was rumoured to be in line for a single release from Wordshaker after officially commissioned remixes found their way online. It was later added to the Headlines repressing, and performed on the accompanying tour. Usually branded as a ‘No Air’ rip-off, can we just all appreciate that amazing middle-8 with those out-of-this-world vocals from all of them, especially Mollie who sounds like f***ing God or something.

I'm not even going to speak on Missing You because I don't want to give Hurricane the satisfaction. But how did Puppet come ahead of Karma (and Missing You obviously)!? What kind of mess...

 

But yay for Walking Through The Desert finishing that high :cheer:

 

 

Do What You Want With Me that low??? Missing You not even Top 20???

Because 'Puppet' is in every single way better than Karma and Missing You. :hand:

'On Your Radar' performance still makes me feel incredibly bitter and I fully believe The Saturdays management are to blame for 'On Your Radar' not passing 100,000.

 

'Do What You Want With Me' should have been single four following 'My Heart Takes Over' and 'Faster' should have ended the campaign. I'm sure both would have outsold '30 Days' rather easily and with a strong selling album it could have provided even more momentum for 'What About Us'.

 

Had 'Living For The Weekend' been able to Pre-order during 'Chasing The Saturdays' / 'What About Us' I'm confident it would have at least an extra 15,000 sales worldwide and would have performed much better in the UK.

Top 30 will commence on Friday!

36 (666). Missing You

 

 

Score: 7.481

Highest Score: 11 x 1 (Martyn)

Lowest Score: -1 x 1 (Cameron) (YASS CAMERON DRAG IT BABE!!!)

 

So let’s talk about this next elimination.

Would radio have touched a 4th and 5th single Fromm flop album though? By going with something new radio were a bit more receptive to it, even if Faster is better than 30 Days.

Walking Through The Desert is one of their dullest songs. SNORE

So many amazing songs out :snif: and some of their best b-sides too! I can't do this
