This is seriously so good and it blows me away. All the singles from her first album were unbearable but THIS. I can't wait for other artists to jump on this sound!

You Don't Have The Right

How is No actually good?! I was not expecting that from her at all. I've been slain.

^ Agreed This was played on radio stations and TV stations in Asia and South America. Makes me sad for the missed worldwide potential.

I do think it's time they kill off an original but of the four, Glenn is the last one I want to see go.

I think it's OK to gamble when you've just had a string of hits, not when you've had one and the previous two singles flopped. The single after What About Us should've been just like it. Wildfire, Disco Love, and Not Giving Up were close enough. Sure, they might've caught flack for using the same formula, but it would've at least guaranteed another hit and more interest in the album as well as more loyal listeners. You can't hop all over the place in terms of sound and expect people to latch on.

Hmmm, was wondering why this was becoming a hit after so many flops. I guess that change in label/management has done him good.

There's hope for us :heart:

For some of these pairings I'm not sure which one is supposed to be the bad one and which one is supposed to be the good one :lol: This is basically the Saturdays' entire career, although What About Us (great) to Gentleman (pretty awful) to Disco Love (great) is a standout.

I'm not surprised it was very front loaded. It might plummet for a bit but I think it will eventually level off.

UV stays pressed over 30 Days.

She is pretty big here actually, as far as name recognition goes at least. Lights, Burn, Love Me Like You Do, and On My Mind were all massive here. I love SITWYM and I expected a much better chart run, not only in the US but worldwide as well - at least Top 10 in New Zealand or something! I wouldn't mind Codes as a single either but I'm not surprised they went with Keep On Dancin'. It has been the most popular album track on iTunes since the album was released and was also the only non-instant grat to chart. I find it nice but far from amazing, so I'm hoping the single edit gives it a bit more oomph. Personally, I'd love to see Aftertaste released as a single but I'm sure that's an unpopular opinion. Lost & Found could do well too. Despite SITWYM's poor performance worldwide, I still think it needs to be released in the UK. Really, they should've just released it instead of Army, and then it might've fared better in the rest of Europe as well. While I want to believe this is the case as I'm in love with the song and think it screams hit, it did get a lot of radio support here. Streams and sales just didn't follow. This points to the fact that it just wasn't connecting with the general public. I kept hearing that people liked the song, but not enough to actually download it - one of those songs that comes on the radio and you don't change the station, but would never go out of your way to listen to it. Then again, a simple feature under Hot Tracks on iTunes did push it into the Top 20, so maybe it just needed more exposure? Who knows. I just know that it reached #26 on overall radio, #13 on pop radio, #12 on adult pop radio, #25 on adult radio, and was getting spun on rhythmic radio. To do that well on so many formats and only reach #43 on the Hot 100 and hover around #70 on Spotify is pretty bad.

There are so many tracks worse than Lease My Love.

Does anyone have the TV airplay run for this? Because we all know there wasn't a radio airplay run..........

Critical Reception The song received mostly positive reviews from music critics. Bradley Stern of music website MuuMuse recognised "Not Giving Up" as the best song off the album, commenting “Not Giving Up is amazing for a variety of reasons: For one thing, it’s about not giving up on love. Persistence is inspiring! But then, the actual song’s fantastic too. Actually, it’s stupid good." Jon O'Brien for Yahoo! called the song "one of the strongest singles of their up-and-down career" describing it as "contemporary dancefloor-friendly fare with a trance-pop sugar rush."

Most Recent Sales Total: 30,059 [May 2014] gBoXld4URfk United Kingdom #19 Scotland #15 Ireland #26 "Not Giving Up" is a song by English-Irish girl group The Saturdays. It was released on 6 April 2014 as the fifth and final single from their fourth studio album Living for the Weekend (2013). The song was written by Antonio Egizii, Celetia Martin, David Musumeci, Carl Ryden and Carla Marie Williams, and produced by Ryden. "Not Giving Up" was first previewed on The Saturdays' reality show Chasing the Saturdays in January 2013. The music video marked Frankie Sandford's official return to the group, after taking time off in 2013 to have her first child.

The album is definitely a grower. Befour and especially Rear View are the early standouts for me, but I'm starting to get into TIO and Like I Would as well.
