Encore

Dammit! Ah well I'm glad it's good! Dying to see it now! Haha!

Noooo?! They didn't even notify us it was being shown today?! Aaargh!

Noo, I'm not comparing them at all... I'm just saying and wondered that if the Origibabes go on to have big success which they probably will, then what do Polydor/Universal need The Sats for if they still aren't selling well and making much money for the label if the label keep putting money into them but not seeing much of a return? And like you say, there's a variety of acts on Polydor and The Sats are still there so what do I know. :P I'm not comparing them - you're right, they're completely different in almost every aspect but if they focus more on the original Sugababes and they spend a big budget on them and they get much more of a return with them than they do with The Sats, then there wouldn't be much point wasting money and keeping them on, no? But like I say in my first post, it just made me wonder and when I read the article and thought I'd post. I hope I'm not some pyschic and this comes true either haha. But back to the single - sounds weird, but I don't think this is 'cool' enough a dance/pop track to appeal to a wider, mass audience to have big success. But I really want to be proven wrong! I can never remember how it goes after I've finished listening to it either and that's the first time ever with one of their songs - I don't think the chorus is that distinctive, it just all blends in? Are the rumours about the video premiering on Tuesday true does anyone know?

Off topic but The Sats are on Polydor/Universal aren't they? It's being reported they've signed the original Sugababes to their label in a £1million deal (that's if this isn't an April Fools joke :P).. I wonder if the label might ditch The Sats now if things don't improve drastically, especially now they've another girl group signed to them, who will more than likely do well? But I guess as long as The Sats/Sugababes make them money it won't matter? I'm clueless with the buisnessy label side of stuff so I'll shutup, it's probably just a silly thought but it crossed my mind this morning and just made me think and thought I'd post.. :blush:

Me neither. It's okay, it's a bit of a grower but I'm still not taken completely with it. And you can bet on anything that the Xenomania tracks they recorded in January are better than this most likely. And if they are, I'll scream! Especially if they had for more potential success wise than this will, because this won't do much for them at all or get non-fans onboard and sell the re-release. :mellow: But I hope I'm surprised and it does.

Unfortunately their team don't do wise haha. :mellow: :P

Genuinely surprised at how well they're doing with the pre-order... this is their highest pre-order peak ever isn't it?

I agree about the chorus not being strong/big enough. Meh.

While I'm not loving it, it's #49 on pre-orders on iTunes. Not too bad.

Tbh I agree. It isn't strong enough, just 'there'. Very underwhelming.

Me too. They're superior to 30 Days, but I guess their team didn't wanna put a single from OYR out becasue they thought the core fanbase wouldn't bother buying it since they had it on the album. They should stick with Xenomania for the more dancier/clubby stuff as seen with Get Ready Get Set and All Fired Up. I'd like them to go back to pure pop now. Still, positive thinking and praying this will do well from now on. :P Haha.

Snap.. it's good, it's not as pop as I was expecting it to be, it's more dancey/club ready. This is the first Sats single where I've not instantly liked/loved it. :( I thought it'd be a Up/Higher/Ego type full on pop track the way they described it. Probably a grower but I can't see this converting non fans or those who are indifferent to them, and neither can I see it help at all in selling the re-release ... :mellow: Reaction mostly seems to be positive on the likes of Twitter etc, but a few people are saying they're indifferent to it, sounds like an OYR leftover, lacks oomph and pales, not as good as Notorious/All Fired Up etc etc. It sounds a bit dull.. I'd go some way to agreeing with them tbh, I feel a bit indifferent to it, it feels a bit too short too. It feels like a step back compared to All Fired Up production wise, but if it does well for them then I'm all for it. Hopefully I'll love it after some more listens but I'm horribly nervous as to how this will do - not just in the first week, but the weeks after too. Should hopefully put them back in the top 10 (won't be going anywhere near #1 with the other competition) but it's sales that they need too.. :huh: I hope they've not picked the wrong 'lead' single again and there's better tracks they've done for the re-release. In some parts it sounds like a mix of Faster and White Lies, and also Alexis Jordan-y at some points too. They have to promote this like there's no tomorrow, no sitting around off on holidays. Here, there and everywhere on anything they can get if they want this to be the hit they need. BGT would be good but I doubt they'll even be considered for a slot there. :P I hope radio take to this and plug it like crazy too..

Yep, trending #1 worldwide and #1 in the UK.

12 minutes until first play on Radio 1! :D http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/console/bbc_radio_one

Umm.. http://i43.tinypic.com/dy784.jpg Seems official. It's on their Facebook page, in the album where they've uploaded pictures direct from themselves before (http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=pu.14110526543&type=1). It looks too fanmade! :mellow: But it is only a cover I guess, they look nice (apart from that vile lipstick) but I guess it's just because I've seen these pictures of them before and looks so cut and paste. Must definitely be an OYR re-release now then. Single out May 13.

Lord this campaign hasn't even started and it already feels like a mess. They have to get this right... nobody knows about this single other than the mailer/hardcore fanbase and they haven't even used their Facebook or Twitter or anything to promote the first radio play of it (which is now tomorrow thanks to a tweet not from them but from a radio station!), nor a single cover, nor a release date.. nor anything. There's barely no hype or interest outside of the die hard fans and it's like they're not even trying to get any interest.. and the premiere is tomorrow AM...?! Jeez they can never do anything right.. I'm even more worried about radio support now if the big radio stations won't premiere it.. ffs. We wouldn't even know about a premiere if Lincs FM had never tweeted about it!? I hope this doesn't mean the major stations will ignore them now.. Ignore me haha I'm just fretting and overanalysing, I just want this to all go well for once. The Sats camp haven't mentioned anything. Radio 1 premiered all 3 singles from On Your Radar and now a regional radio that won't have as big a scale of listeners in Lincoln is premiering it? I'm worried now, lol. Although I'm looking forward to hearing it at long last, I want this to do well because they need it to. Hmm.

Hmm when are we getting the artwork and info? Mailer said this week.. probs tomorrow, right at the end of the week haha. Or they've forgotten :P I know they can't help it that they filmed the video in Feb to acommodate Una and the baby, but this feels really dragged out.. tired of waiting.

I'm really surprised Missing You is their 'peak'. I wasn't keen on it at the time. But yes, let's hope they go batshit crazy with the promo. They need to. I hope this is the week we'll have the artwork and release date confirmed. I'm guessing so. And maybe even the first listen to the track itself!

Hope the May release schedule isn't too packed with big releases! Hope they've checked and there isn't much competition in their release week like the ones they usually pick, would be nice to have a chance at top spot potentially. 29th April would have been too perfect a release week to be true, really haha. I wish it was released then - quiet week, and it fits with the song title of 30 Days - released on the 30th day of April (almost :P). Thinking early May release then if we're getting everything this week..?

Tulisa - We Are Young? That's out the week after, 6th May. They better not have pushed it back to that week ha. I'm sure Rochelle or Vanessa wouldn't like that either since they're close friends with Tulisa. Where even did the 29th April rumour come from? I sure hope it's true. EDIT: Oh, sorry.. you meant the fun. ft Janelle Monae track haha. I thought you'd made a typo and since Tulisa's singles the same title, well it's changed to Young now so I put 2+2 together and got 5. :P Sorry!

That would be a perfect release week, so I hope it's true but of course The Sats team will most probably have chosen a week where there's like, 3 other major releases. Ugh.

I hope so! I just worry that outside the hardcore fans noone will know they've a new single coming out so soon. I guess I'm just more nervy after My Heart Takes Over and want them back in the top 10/top 5/top 3/top 2/#1 competitors again.

^ Yup, Una tweeted a while back she was in the studio with Nerina and her husband (I think he's a producer..?) back in early Feb I think. Off topic but relevant to my point haha, Tulisa is premiering her new single and the video too today which isn't out until the first or second week of May.. why aren't The Sats management setting the wheels in motion and premiering this before leaving it too late? I mean, I know Tulisa getting the first play of her single and puting the video up today could be a PR move while she's headlines in the press and more than a coincidence etc after the whole sex tape thing this week but still.. maybe management have changed the release date for 30 Days.. or maybe 29th April was never the planned release lol..? Definitely must be next week we hear this to allow interest outside the fans to build, right? Oh.. and if anyone's interested, you can vote for The Sats to win Best Band at The Glamour Awards like they did last year: http://www.glamourmagazine.co.uk/celebrity...our-awards-2012

Yup! Still don't know. They've worked with a few people since January.. Nerina Pallot, Xenomania, Arkana(?), Steve Mac etc so it'll be interesting to find out finally what it's for. Anyway, so I'm guessing we're not hearing this at all this week...? It must be next week surely, they have to start building hype and interest from all corners?! End of March next week.. just over 4 weeks til it's out (supposedly if April 29th release still stands) - premiere the song at the start or middle of next week maybe, then like aprilj said above, premiere the video at the end of the week or on the 31st or something, 30 Days before it's officially out :P

Can we keep it positive until the single release? :P
