Encore

I like that idea, having the video up before release for 30 days from March 21st! They seriously need to get a shift on and premiere it, ideally this week. Leaving it another week or two will most likely do them more harm than good, in that only the hardcore fanbase will know the song is coming and could maybe limit them climbing airplay/video charts!? Getting the song premiered now allows the wider public to know they're releasing too without getting it out there too early that people will just get bored of it.

Still no info on whether it's a re-release or new album etc. Probs find out more once the single is premiered and a press release is sent out maybe.

1. Ray of Light 2. Confessions On A Dance Floor 3. Like A Virgin 4. Like A Prayer 5. True Blue 6. Music 7. Madonna 8. American Life 9. Erotica 10. Hard Candy 11. Bedtime Stories Looking forward to seeing where MDNA will slot in for me! :)

Set Me Off! :D

Little short 'interview' with the girls by Capital FM here about the new single: http://ondemandpopout.musicradio.com/station/1/audio/187561 Too excited to hear this now! (Obviously they wouldn't say it's shite and they don't reveal too much haha, but still!) Let's hope it lives up to their words.

More info must be coming this week...? 5 weeks left (5 weeks and 6 days left if we're being concrete - if the rumoured 29th April release is true) which would be perfect timing this week for building hype and sorting/having a radio premiere, video release, single cover, confirmation etc. I hope they build it up and don't just randomly tweet the video etc like they did with My Heart Takes Over haha, springing it on everyone randomly. Getting more info out there now means it's not too early a premiere that people will tire of the song and not bother with it come release time, but not too late that the wider general public who aren't huge fans won't even know they've a new single coming. I mean, they've only confirmed the title for the song in the mailer - surely they should get it out there to the people who aren't hardcore fans and aren't signed up for the mailer?

30 Days title confirmed in today's mailer. Written by Autumn Rowe and produced by Steve Mac. Single sleeve, release date and more info coming soon.

Second Chances Don't Always Happen to me sounds like a cringey song title, like it belongs on a soundtrack CD from a new High School Musical movie or something haha. This must be fake? Maybe someone just went on iTunes, changed a few song names on their iTunes and tacked them on the end to make it look real...

Oh the irony.

Still no info... bored of waiting now. Shouldn't they start getting a move on if it's out in April... they can't just throw this out without building interest, they're not big enough. Part of this is of course my impatience in wanting to hear this :P I know they won't want to get it out there too soon and have people get bored of it quickly but it's nearly the middle of March and if it's out in April... they need to start getting some kind of info out there to pick up hype and generate wider interest for it on radio, the video channels and generally too. Pick up some buzz girls! Depending when in April it's released, they've got maximum, what, 5-6 weeks(?) left to make sure everyone knows this song is coming (not just their twitter followers!), so hopefully something will come this week seeing as that's when usually they premiere their new singles if I remember? I know sometimes a little earlier - like with All Fired Up, that premiered mid July and wasn't out until early September. Hurry up guys! They can't afford any mistakes or slip ups with this single campaign. It needs to be perfected, planned and everything go smoothly. They need to go hard with the promo. But this is The Saturdays and their maangement we're talking about. :( I want a single campaign we can look back on as flawless and say they managed everything perfectly and got everything right for once. And the song needs to be straight up pop, bloody brilliant and fun. Something huge that screams mass appeal. Oh and an excellent video. Praying this gives them the hit they need (a #1 would be nice too haha, quiet release week please!) Maybe this is the song they'll be launching with in the US too.

Sameeeeeee.

^ I'd love that! I hope we get some concrete info soon for the single. We must be hearing it soon?

I've really got back into Higher again recently, it still sounds really fresh for me. Cheered me up this week after a few rubbish weeks, proper uplifting track. :D And All Fired Up.. still being played to death on my iTunes, I love everything about it. The intro and the instrumental behind the vocals 'blow my mind' haha. :P Xenomania slay.

They need tons of promo for this single. Not just literally one Daybreak performance with one member down like with My Heart Takes Over. They need to go mad to secure this hit they need badly. I'm nervous though. Really excited, but really nervous about how it's going to go. Other than that, bring it on. :D

So after this single campaign is done, are they then off to America to start work?

Take with a pinch of salt, but apparently the girls' new single is called 30 Days... or 30 Days (To Love). Saw on Twitter. And links he tweeted a link to a fansite.. http://thesaturdaysno1.moonfruit.com/#/home/4546761878 So may just be a fan talking rubbish and making it up, but yeah, thought I'd post.

I hope the song title is good.. something different and 'quirky' haha, as much as I hate that word. Hopefully we'll get that if it turns out the single is Xenomania produced, which it seems to be since they're the only people they recently recorded with? They need to do lots more songs with them. Sooo excited to hear it, but at the same time I'm really nervous about it all... hopefully radio don't ditch them...! Maybe they'll do a Radio 1 premiere and then the video a week or few days after in March.

Noo thanks, that'd seem like a step back rather than a step forward.

Think it's one of the Xenomania tracks they recorded and wrote with Brian and Miranda from early January when they were in the studio with them for a week. :) I hope it's proper 50s styled and they're dressed in 50s style outfits/costumes and stuff, seeing as they filmed the video in one of those retro American diners in London.

That might not be Rochelle's outfit for the video? May just be something casual for between takes maybe?

You and me both. If it's true, they really don't help themselves. I'll have no sympathy this time round. Surely it's so obvious it would flop? They need something more bold and 'harder' that people can instantly like. This will not be the hit they desperately need right now.

I know right.... this is going to do terribly. Get Ready, Get Set and White Lies would be much better choices. They don't have a clue. It's stupid, but I'm so frustrated with management for picking this of all the tracks. They're utterly clueless, this will do more harm to them than the mess they're currently in when this flops too. It's not a strong enough track to be a single, it's bland and sounds so rusty and old now. :(

I long for the day they get a Brit nomination, see them on the red carpet, see them at their table on TV, see their reactions if they won an award and maybe even perform on the stage. That day will never come, will it? :P :(

I wish they'd stick with one producer an album, I know it's nice to mix it up but perhaps that's where they go wrong - they use so many producers that the sound of each song and overall sound of the record as a whole piece is all over the place, in a way and they can't find a definitive sound by using a mish mash of producers all the time? This is just me saying I want a whole Xenomania album haha but I think the fact they use several producers doesn't help them connect with the public in the sense of there not being a 'traditional' and obvious Saturdays sound that the public would instantly recognise and say 'That's a Saturdays song' etc? The public don't know what they're getting with the girls, they chase trends - yes, it's good for a hit I guess - but nothing that helps grow their own sound and style - and that might be one element as to why they're struggling...?

There's no official confirmation on what they're doing so let's not jump to conclusions. If you're going by what Capital said, then that's not reliable since they'll just be guessing and they take news/rumours from various other gossip sites.
