You can promote all you want, you can't force people to like the songs :lol: They still had numerous top 10s and a #1. Their success as aband also doesn't guarantee Mollie smashing 3 years after they went on a hiatus they'll never come back from.

 

Also Taylor has two million sellers so I think she's just fine with being relevant 7 years later... In fact she's just got her first UK #1 11 years into her career,. There is no need to tear down every act who is dong better than Mollie :lol:

I'm the One was a number one single mostly due to Justin Bieber who does self promo / publicity stunts all the time, I would say he has a busier work schedule than The Sats ever did.

there is no f***ing justice in the world. Pop music is f***ing dead. Taylor can release fart, so could JB and it would be #1 for seven months, its a f***ing piss take then you have passionate songwriters and performers like Mollie who make so much more effort to promote and they don't get a look in. f*** YOU SPOTIFY.

Post. Of. The. Year

EAT SlUGS

Im actually having sleepless nights worried about Cheryl for when she comes back.

 

I guess Higher is top 200 on iTunes, 7 years after release. Hope that nasty girl Taylor can say the same. Kim was right she is nasty snake.

 

Omg, THIS!!

 

I am having the same neets over Cheryl too tbh :(

 

Hode Sats songs deserved no.1, but the pop game is alll about hype - look at Little Mix. Their music is atrocious but they do so much better due to the manufactured Cowell machine. I doubt anyyy of the big songs about would do really well by an anoymous singer, but that's the game - gotta have a hype persona for the mahine and sheeple.

Omg what is this mess :lol:

Go outside for a moment

So you're totally against artists promoting themselves on Spotify, yet you think that just because The Saturdays promoted their music loads, that instantly equals a #1?? It doesn't work like that, maybe the public just didn't like the songs enough for them to go to #1??

The Saturdays rarely had songs that exceeded average (Up and Ego were pretty good) and they had such a reek of desperation. But I don't know why it's a big deal, they did get a no.1 and this is Taylor's first which she's had to wait 4 more years for.

mean rotters

omg i love this.

You lose sleep worrying about Cheryl's future chart performance? Jesus christ

 

for the record, I think she'll do a Rita Ora

The Saturdays released perfect pop for their era. It was criminal that they didn't get a #1 till 2013 but it was different days back then. Remember singles were released to radio about 2 months before release and had time to gain momentum. Nowadays they rely heavily on spotify to help get them up the iTunes and singles charts

Very true.

 

Before everything I just read on this thread I thought Carly Rae Jepsen was the most overhyped artist on this website. Turns out I was wrong :lol:

 

Who are The Saturdays?

Omg Carly is awful, as is her noise, um I mean single, Run Away with me :puke: Sats are good however.

If you like the songs, what difference does its chart position make? Couple of people need to get some perspective I think...

I agree

Honestly, you can promote all you want, but if your song doesn't catch on in a major way, there's nothing more you can do. The Sats did what they did pretty well, but if we're comparing to I'm the One, well, they're two hugely different cases, and that's simply a way more popular song than even What About Us.

 

Plus let's not forget that not everything Justin releases is an instant #1 - Despacito debuted in the top 70 :lol: while 2U and Friends haven't made #1 and the latter isn't likely to any time soon either.

what is even this thread

Exactly, it's obviously nice when your faves do well (I've loved seeing Dua and Taylor get their first #1s for example and seeing Pink doing well) but if they've given me a song I enjoy it's not going to hinder me loving it if it peaks at #1 or #111 :lol: There are so many songs I hear from BJSC, other charts, blogs, whatever, that won't even touch the chart but it's not gonna make me lose any sleeep :lol:
