Am I the only one who thinks allthough Work is a brilliant song, it doesnt work as a song being sung live, or at least it hasn't so far...

One of their better live performances imo ^_^

EXCLUSIVE: The Saturdays' new B-side!

 

What are the main similarities between The Saturdays and their label mates Girls Aloud? Well, they've both got a penchant for electropop stompers and regularly fill column inches with their showbiz shenanigans, but that's not where it ends. While many acts have given up on physical singles and B-sides altogether, both GA and The Sats pretty much guarantee a brand new track with every single they release.

 

Their latest flipside is called 'Unofficial' and it's the group's first foray into writing their own material. Is it any good? Well, if you're expecting a floor-filling extravaganza in the vein of previous B-side 'Golden Rules', you may be left disappointed, but it's certainly worth a spin.

 

Sounding like a not-too-distant cousin of 'Issues', 'Unofficial' is an R&B-tinged midtempo pop tune about an unsatisfying relationship. Featuring tumbling melodies par excellence, lots of cooing and the rhyming of "unofficial" with "artificial", it's as predictable as Peter Andre flashing his pecs in his next music video, but thoroughly pleasant with it. The full version is available on the 'Work' CD single, out June 29, but here's a 60-second clip to whet your appetite:

I'm liking it, defo wanna hear full thing now.

 

 

Not really keen on Unofficial. It could be their worst bside to date, behind their cover of Beggin'.

I have to say 'Work' is probably my favourite song by them so far, hopefully it will be a big hit.

#23 on i-tunes now.

i glad it hasn't started to fall yet with the weekend effect.

I just hope it goes at least top 10, even though it deserves #1

i think its gonna be like 'untouchable' :-(

Unlucky that it just missed the Top 30 this week at 31. Should be able to get Top 25 next week and maybe Top 20.

I have a feeling this will miss the top 10. ^_^

up to 21 on itunes

 

think its safe to say top 20 will be lucky :(

I have a feeling this will miss the top 10. ^_^

and you're happy about that? :huh:

and you're happy about that? :huh:

 

Indeed. I never questions Aidans sometimes absurd use of smileys on here. <_<

Oh is it Aidan :lol: I didn't realise, his name changes that much.

I think at this point top 20 is looking likely and top 15 would be a bonus. Not too fussed as it is a fifth single and the second album is guaranteed regardless. But I did think the song was easily going top 10 so it is a bit of a surprise. The album hasn't sold enough for that to be a valid reason either (just look at GaGa.)

Oh is it Aidan :lol: I didn't realise, his name changes that much.

 

:heehee: Indeed lol. All makes sense now :teresa:

 

With the tour downloads, physical and hopefully steady downloads I really hope top 15 is achieved.

 

I'd hate it to do an Untouchable and get so close.

I think their manager and the Saturdays themselves have #1 in mind, lmao :unsure:

Girls are performing on Loose Women today.

 

Glad they are getting promo done alongside the tour - take not Girls Aloud.
