On 97.47% combined! Not long till they overtake PJ & Duncan.

Wonder how much this will sell in the long run, i will be absoloutely delighted with anything over 400k!

Combined Top Three 1. Pink - Give Me A Reason - 106.94% 2. PJ & Duncan - Let's Get Ready To Rhumble - 100% 3. The Saturdays - What About Us - 93.86% They really aren't that far behind and if they can overtake PJ&D then hopefully, they'll benefit from the '1 effect' on iTunes. Don't really see them being 1 at all this week, so my ideal scenario would be 1. Pink 2. Sats 3. PJ & Duncan

Up to 3 on TV Airplay, 1 play behind 2, and up to 5 on Radio Airplay, this is unofficial but gives us an idea. :)

For the last day The Sats have been increasing and PJ & Duncan have had 1 green update on KWORB.

How much do you guys think they will sell this week? hoping around 60kish!

Up to a brilliant new peak to 7 on Radio Airplay, but down to 17 on TV Airplay! Fantastic, sure TV will pick up next week whilst radio continues to rise. :D What About Us 17th March 2013 http://a4.mzstatic.com/us/r1000/086/Music/v4/72/d0/d7/72d0d71a-97d4-8a1f-0b7d-f576c523e739/UMG_cvrart_00602537273614_01_RGB72_1500x1500_12UMGIM65020.170x170-75.jpg Radio Airplay: 75-50-49-24-23-07- TV Airplay: 27-22-19-07-12-10-09-10-17- Week / Date / Position / Sales 01 - 24/03/13 - #001 - 114,292 To Date Sales: 114,292

Me too, Lee, I absoloutely loved every second of it! I was at the back when I came in a song or two through but managed to fend my way to the front for Higher. :wub:

Because of how well they're doing ATM it got me in Sats' mood and I was looking on Youtube at some of their old (and new) live performances/tours/acoustics and was wondering if anyone had any personal favourite performances of any song they can think of! (I'm aware the majority of mine are acoustics but I think they shine when acoustically). :) I'll start with a few of my favourites.. fiYzQDMWxCM 'All Fired Up', It's so nice to see AFU all stripped back for once and it sounds so good, their voices are all vocally brilliant here. :wub: yWOWfXcszWY 'Higher', I was in the crowd here :P So maybe makes me a bit bias of this one but I just love the energy of this performance and the girls and the crowd are all so in to it! :D The vocals are also pretty good here, especially Una's middle 8! BJ8RXNckfVE 'What About Us', I seriously just love this song acoustic and it's one of their best recent vocal performances, and probably the best of all the time's they have done WAU! nPE8x39ji4U 'Chasing Lights', although this is a very old one and the vocals may not be absoloutely amazing I love this as it reminds me of them just starting out and I just love the song itself! So chilling. :heart:

It's funny, I was just reading back to old threads around the time 'Up' came about and some saying it would reach the top 20/30 and they didn't really like it, bad choice of single etc! And now they're getting a 1 with 114,000 sales! :D Good time to be a Saturdays fan.

So this is their 14th single which sold 114k, and their first single sold 14k. Crazy. Must be something about 14! :P

I read the same as Jark! WOW. Cannot actually believe this.

Justin has decreased again! :D Definately thinking they will hang on until Sunday.

Well done Lee! :D Is it just me or is there just a little too many rates/survivors/polls etc going on at the minute? :S

Just looked at that unofficial UK Radio Airplay Chart thing to give us a good indication, it's up to 7 from 21! Wow, shows what decent exposure does. Hopefully they will be top ten in the Official Airplay chart this weekend.

Although Justin's gaining ever so slightly with every update, I think they can hold on until Alan Carr comes on!

I don't think anyone could have predicated that The Saturdays would have a number 1 single and a possible 100k+ first week seller with this. It's amazing. Hopefully with the success of What About Us here it will encourage them to push this single hugely in other countries, I hope they don't give up on the US!

I hope if 'What About Us' sells enough to become Silver/Gold or whatever (hoping gold! :P) they will certify their other singles silver and more sales will be revealed! Definite Up Issues Just Can't Get Enough Ego Missing You Higher All Fired Up Maybe Forever Is Over Notorious Not a Chance If This Is Love Work My Heart Takes Over 30 Days

I don't think they'll get overtaken till at least Saturday afternoon. They're still 20% ahead.

I'm not panacking too much, the earliest Justin could probably overtake is Friday evening/night. I doubt he will gain 30% tommorow, he will just go up slowly. When is Alan Carr again?

Also, if they get the #1 this Sunday then they will have a single charting in every position of the top ten apart from #6. :P

It's times like these when What About Us (technically their first single from this era) is doing so well, you wonder what could have Higher and Ego done if they were the first singles?

In one week it could possibly sell more than the overall totals of If This Is Love, Work, My Heart Takes Over and 30 Days!

I don't think we should worry until it's literally neck and neck, I mean, at the very earliest Justin could overtake tommorow afternoon, maybe after his video has premiered? I think they can hold him off until Wednesday.
