'What About Us' being The Saturdays most popular song is insane. The fact Una has performed every other Sats single (and even album tracks) at her solo gigs and ignored their number 1 single just shows even the group members don't love it. It also just doesn't work live at all and some of their TV performances of it have been the worst of their career. I'm grateful they got their long overdue #1 and I'm still baffled how it opened with 114K and was the fastest selling song of the year at that point but then fizzled out and became a bit of a non number 1 after that. Not only that but they had their first number 1 single and their career trajectory actually went downhill after that and somehow were selling less albums than ever before. Honestly, The Sats have one of the most bizarre and frustrating careers ever.

It's 400K for Gold, no?

Frankie was on a podcast with Alan Carr and said, again, she'd be up for a 'one off' but nothing else. I find it hard to believe that she wouldn't consider a tour especially if there's a chance to make some good money out of it. I think they'd have their biggest tour ever.

I really like 'Bel Air'. It's nice to hear a song of theirs where they actually sing and it's not just a bunch of noise and nonsensical lyrics.

I definitely miss them and hope that when they do reunite it's more of a Take That situation where they still release albums regularly and have some fairly succesful singles as opposed to just doing a reunion tour and disbanding again. I'd love them to get another top 10 single or somehow break the record set by Girls Aloud.

I was randomly watching old Big Brother videos on YouTube and in the middle of an argument with Gerry, Charley from BB8 said her best friend was in S Club Juniors and was a TV presenter. Rochelle? Lol.

Eh, the Brits performance was pretty good visually but the lip syncing is embarrassingly obvious at times - mostly Leigh - which ruins it for me. I actually thought that while LM5 was the most cohesive album and did alot for their credibility, I thought it was also a bit too serious sounding for me and had no obvious hit singles. For most of their career they either leaned too Disney/High School Musical (DNA, Get Weird) or too serious and dark (Salute, LM5) and I think the Confetti era was actually them at their peak because the music was very commercial and pop but also had that mature, sexy edge (Sweet Melody, Confetti, Holiday) or pure pop done right without cringey lyrics (Break Up Song) and their styling was on point.

Not them wasting the hype and social media attention for a second year in a row by revealing their 'birthday'/'anniversary' is essentially just some new ugly merch. Ally also posted an old performance pic of the girls and it's sort of shady to Camila, as pointed out and noticed in the comments. Never change girls.

I can't comprehend what it must have been like to be sitting down at your kitchen table eating lunch, texting on Whatsapp about an upcoming interview and then suddenly a random man appears battering you with a hammer. The fact he knocked her out of the chair means she probably didn't even hear/see him come in. It's just f***ing....disturbing.

Side note but this really ought to be a lesson for TV shows to NOT show the exterior of famous peoples houses. I'm always shocked when I watch something to do with a celebrity and the camera pans to a shot of the house from outside or to the street they live on. Apparently Ann's home was shown on a TV show a few months back. Maybe it's not connected but still, ffs.

Is there a sales update for this? I’m surprised it’s not Platinum yet.

This may be my least favourite album of his. I've only just properly listened to it and my God, what a f***ing chore this was to get through. Some of the songs are so unbelievably boring that I can't believe he bothered to record them in the first place never mind put them on an album. I've had the whole thing on repeat since yesterday - it usually takes a while for some albums to really click with me and for me to fall in love with them - and I swear I still couldn't tell you how so many of these songs go. My Heart's Been Waiting For You and DNA save it from being a total disaster as they're both total bops but yeah, the rest of this is just shockingly boring. Album rank > Born To Do It.

JLS had INSANE potential on X-Factor. I always imagined them releasing stuff like Fill Me In, U Remind Me and all the old classics that Craig David and Usher released in their early years. The fact they left the show to release crap like The Club Is Alive and She Makes Me Wanna is just such a waste of talent. The video having Aston topless was also so random too.

Honestly after watching the documentary I think the blame lies with her family. They enable her and seem to have warped her mind to believe that any valid criticism about her is 'trolling' or 'abuse' or 'hate' and none of them seem to have sat down with her and tried to educate her. Even when her Mum was talking about the Boyz release and the backlash that accompanied it she still framed it as the media picking on her for no reason.

Also, I have to laugh at all the comments criticising Perrie because of ‘what Jesy is going through’. Why is Jesy and her family allowed to drag the girls through the mud on a documentary being shown to millions of people but the other girls aren’t allowed to respond when asked directly about it? Where were the personal attacks? I didn’t see any?
