I’ve been running fan websites since around 1997, when I launched a Spice Girls website, a few years later I launched a website for the pop-group Steps, which in 1999 became Generation Steps later in the mid 00′s I launched PCDWorld and later The Saturdays Fansite. I’m presently a Network Administrator and a trustee for the UK charity the Dyspraxia Foundation.
The new album, EP, Headlines is out in the shops today! Not like every good Saturdays fan needs reminding. The mini-album comes with great new songs including the Top 3 single Missing You!
You can also download it without even leaving your computer, directly from iTunes (£5.99) – Where it is already at number one – GO GIRLS! As well as Amazon MP3, 7Digital and other leading – and legal – download sites.
Missing You might have missed out on #1 so lets make sure Headlines makes Headlines and hits #1 🙂
Una Healy has said that The Saturdays still have a long way to go before they feel like they have achieved all their goals.
The girl group entered the singles charts at number three yesterday with their latest release ‘Missing You’.
Asked if the group ever felt like that they had “made it”, Healy told Metro: “No. We didn’t come off the back of a reality TV show, we’ve grafted and there’s so much more we need to achieve.
“Thinking you’ve made it comes when you’ve fulfilled all your goals. We’ve still got a long way to go.”
Asked for the highlight of her time in The Saturdays, she added: “Each time we get a Top 10 single feels amazing, I never get over it, and I love performing to the fans when they’re singing the lyrics back. I’m doing what I love for a living.”
Healy’s bandmate Mollie King recently confirmed that the group hope to release at least five albums. They are currently promoting mini-LP Headlines!
The Saturdays say they could never compete with Girls Aloud as they weren’t “given millions of fans” overnight.
The girl band have been around for three years, and are tired of being compared to Girls Aloud. Both groups are known for producing catchy pop records, but The Saturdays insist that is where the similarity ends.
Girls Aloud – comprising Cheryl Cole, Nadine Coyle, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh – were formed on a UK talent programme, whereas The Saturdays were not.
“We can’t compete with Girls Aloud. How can we?” asked Rochelle Wiseman. “Although we’re on our eighth single we haven’t had millions of fans given to us overnight, we’ve had to work for it.”
Una Healy agreed: “We didn’t arrive on a TV show like Girls Aloud where everybody knew their names before they released a record. We were unknown, so it was harder.”
Girls Aloud are currently taking a break to concentrate on solo projects, and The Saturdays – Rochelle, Una, Mollie King, Frankie Sandford and Vanessa White – admit that has made things easier for them. They know more girl groups will come out in the future, but they hope it won’t be for some time yet.
“We want to rule the world, we don’t need anyone else,” laughed Frankie.
The girls appeared on This Morning today, hot on the news that Missing You is currently #1 in the midweek charts, but only by around 4000 copies. So if you’ve not bought your copy yet please do so, via iTunes or Amazon and pick up a CD in the stores too 😀 The first number one is close to hand!!
