Oh Rochelle :(

 

I wonder if the other 4 would ever consider doing it without Rochelle? I know that wouldn't be ideal, and I'd totally respect it if all 5 of them are on the same page as each other that it's 5 or nothing. I'd certainly rather 5. However if 4 of them have reached the point that they'd really love to do it, maybe they should just go for it? Maybe if they told Rochelle they will do it, it could prompt Rochelle to have a change of heart if she experiences fear of missing out. The thing is, if she feels that her lack of involvement means that the others definitely won't go ahead, then she'll likely never feel motivated to do it, she'd be the one holding the cards. Unless she has a sudden change of heart of course... but she's been pretty persistent about having no interest in it.

 

It's so crazy that it's been 8 years since they were last active. It felt like there was a wave of interest in them again when all the singles were being reissued, I seem to remember there being some viral tweets. It would be a shame if they let opportunities pass them by. It would be so fun for them to revisit those times, I'd love to see them perform again.

I would love one final song from them :cheeseblock:

 

Mollie GETTING them that Radio 1 Plays

 

Frankie getting them those ITV promos

It would be such a shame for them never to reunite when they did so well in staying relevant for so long.

 

So many other girlbands came and went during there time and they were still charting when Little Mix were.

 

They could definitely release some of the albums on Vinyl at least I’m sure they would sell well.

just re release all fired up tbh, still sounds like a smash

Rerelease not giving up.

 

Not surprised she said no. Another reason why she has always been my least favourite.

Random but I always absolutely loved this performance!

 

I wish they had done more stuff like this.

 

I don’t get what she has to lose out on by doing it. I know she has a couple of shows but it’s not like she is a huge solo star, she can easily do a reunion alongside the tv shows she presents… Marvin did it why can’t she? Unless she just doesn’t want to perform anymore which is fair enough I guess.

I feel like Mollie is probably in the best position of them all right now, Rochelle is just a This Morning stand by isn’t she? You know, rochelle has been the only one that’s spoke publically about not wanting to return to The Saturdays! I hope they return for a top 10 iTunes smash and make a massive £20 while sellling their tour on itison and TRUST ME, i will BUY

It's more the fact that The Saturdays isn't likely to get a big money offer to do a tour or a record deal and would actually have to put work in. There's not a lot of money for them to return briefly to coast on their past successes - it's not a minimal effort and cash in deal.

I think, especially after listening to Rochelle's episode of Steven Bartlett's podcast recently (The Diary of a CEO), I've made peace with the fact that it's still not the time for her. She's not in that place in her life where she wants to revisit whilst she has her presenting / baby brand / the interior design thing she does on W at the moment (which just seems to be "Here, have a white and beige k!tchen with bifold doors and an island". I digress)

 

Which you can understand on one hand - let's not forget that her and Frankie were both in S Club Juniors and OK, there was a gap of about five years between their last single and The Saturdays' first. So they basically were in pop longer than any of the other girls in one form or another.

 

But that time will eventually come, and probably when we least expect it. I dare say Peter Loraine and Fascination, knowing how meticulously they've done other reunions in the past - Steps, Bananarama, All Saints - will ensure this is done serving everything we want!

Kind of LOVE that 'Last Call' is now in their top 10 most played on Spotify, what an absolute gem.

Ha their Top 10 really has been so random over the years, but it's lovely to see Last Call getting some attention.

 

Not Giving Up being their fifth highest placed single is quite strange too. I mean, bop, but it was their second worst selling single at the time.

 

When Love Takes Over reaching 13m streams, and being third place for them... it's so wild for a B Side.

NGU has done well in YouTube views too over the years. Which is deserved. Need it to become a TikTok hit.

Last Call was always the best ballad on OYR. Should've been a post-album single and Where My Heart Takes Over should've been paid dust especially when gems like Faster and White Lies were sitting right there.

Can’t believe white lies didn’t get its moment! I’m not even particularly a Sats fan but I love the at track!

Last Call is great! Happy to see it get some attention. White Lies is another good one too. Whilst I like Where My Heart Takes Over there were better choices for single 3.

I feel like it killed all momentum the album had at the time after All Fired Up.

My Heart Takes Over was a brilliant choice of single it just didn’t perform as good as we all expected, I think the X Factor promo being cut last minute really affected the single and album performance. I’m guessing Faster would have been the logical third single tbf

My Heart Takes Over was a terrible single choice I think. I like the song a lot but its chart performance leaves a LOT to be desired and I think is largely responsible for On Your Radar's peak position. I adore Last Call and if they really wanted a ballad, it would've been the better option, though I think Faster is the biggest missed opportunity for a single release and I believe it would've been a top 10 hit at least. X Factor would've potentially helped it into the top 10 but I don't think MHTO was ever destined to be much of a hit sadly.

Need to disagree. I love Last Call but My Heart Takes Over is an amazing ballad. (Side eying those who are calling it Where My Heart Takes Over too lmao). On Your Radar really deserved a campaign as long as Chasing Lights. I would gladly have had them repackage it with 30 Days to bridge the wait until What About Us.

 

Also, did On Your Radar not sell like 18k first week? Which is very respectable. Also releasing it in Q4 didn’t help either.
