The article says it will be released alongside the single.

Well, that's a creepy thought.

That article above is just the usual misinformed shit they are always attacked with. First of all it's the double morals of these people: all that rant about the sticking with one sound would transform into "don't bore me with the same rubbish sound album after album" if they would have done what they ask for. The truth is, they are a pop group. They have added different vibes to that sound each campaign, but they've sticked to that. They started with electro-pop, slowly upgraded to dance-pop, and the last album combined dance songs with pure pop and slight R&B vibes (even the Not Giving Up radio mix makes it more electro than dance). It's called evolution. The Girls Aloud comparison should've died in 2009, specially if they complain about the fact The Saturdays have changed their sound over time. GA didn't stick around for the dance-pop era, and were focused on electro-pop for most of their time, something that The Saturdays pretty much abandoned after their debut. Those comparisons make me specially angry, because they are putting on a pedestal a group of girls that admittedly hated each other and their own music, that last part might be due to the fact they had no say in their own music output nor the single choices. You can't actually count how many times they said they hated X single but started to like it after a while on their documentary. And the times when they did decide the song they were going to promote, they made the safest choices, like The Promise. The only thing in common in between Girls Aloud and The Saturdays is that they both are a five-piece girlband. Period. The Saturdays are way more straight-pop, have way more control over their work, and they don't have the bitchiness that was omnipresent through GA run, either among their own members or against other acts. There's no drama with The Saturdays, which to some people is boring, and it's OK. They are just different acts. And nobody appreciate their efforts to combine babies with promotional campaigns, in an era when bands split up and solo artists take time off when they get pregnant (every single female artist). As if having a woman touring while being heavily pregnant was an effort not worthy of being praised. They are five girls who accomplished their dream of making and touring commercial music, during six album campaigns, at least. If that's not commendable, I don't know what it is.

I love it. Rochelle included.

I hated that mess. They should've made an only-Bsides compilation instead.

It's funny that I thought The Vamps would be definitely #1, considering how fast they were climbing yesterday. But I really don't see that happening now.

Anything inside the top20 is great at this point.

Hopefully iTunes will advertise the 59p tracks during the week. It should give it some stability, at least.

Those performances on morning shows very rarely have any effect on the charts, though.

Ugh, I thought today was Sunday, and I was wondering why this wasn't higher in the UK...

I'm so disheartened with this release. With the minimal level of airplay they've got, I know that it will drop massively no matter how high it gets in the first couple of days. But still, I'm not giving up.

If they sell out the Olympia very quickly they can always book another night.

The press release says they are getting in the studio later in the year to record their fifth album. As I see it, if the GH and tour sell decently they'll continue. If they don't even get a new hit single out of this then there's no point, really. But at least the door is open. With GA's Ten tour they always knew that was the end. They actually wanted it to be the end. Here we have the option of continuing.

Exactly. A simple tweet like 'Preorder my new single for 59p' twice a day could make so much... But of course people would be 'stop bombarding me with publicity!!!1!' like they've been in the past.

Absolutely not. If anything, they'll get C-listed. But that's an extremely small chance at this point. They are not that lucky.

Playlists are announced on Wednesday, and they start getting played the next Monday. So they are already left out of next week's playlist. We'll see if they get listed next Wednesday, for the week before the release (which I doubt).

Ireland has caught the Saturdays fever this morning: Album: Living For the Weekend #110 Ireland What About Us #323 Ireland Disco Love #377 Ireland

It has also premiered way before their other videos, though.

Is it appropriate to make a joke so soon after she's revealed her struggles with alcohol? I think something related to Tranessa would be nicer.

I've always wanted Ego to overtake Up to become their biggest seller...but, of course, What About Us came and passed both of them, so it would be pointless now.

It's not bad at all. It's frikking amazing. So far it's showing potential to be a bigger hit than 3/4 singles from this album.

That's the easiest story you could come up with if you wanted to create a rumour, though. Just go for the one who was doing solo work before and the one whose boyfriend is a producer...

It's frikking great :yahoo: Disco Love barely passed 1.5 million the week before release and it ended up peaking at #5. So far the perception is that people are liking this single more.
