living for the weekend

We’re back!I

Hey all! Sorry for the lack of updates last week, I was on half-term so was having a bit of a break from everything last week, but we are back now. The site was also offline this morning, a software update automatically happened overnight and seemingly didn’t fully complete and knocked the database server offline, but all is back now. Sorry for that!

We start today with the news that the new album Living For The Weekend has dropped to 61 on the UK album charts, only 3 weeks after release, we are all a tad concerned by this. Hopefully the girls will respond with something soon – well could be sooner than expected, as the girls are on the new series of The Paul O’Grady show, NEXT MONDAY (11th) at 5pm on ITV1. The ITV press-release states ‘Music From The Saturdays’ so they are performing something … hopefully even if its not the next single, it’s something from the album to generate some public interest. Videos will obviously be on the site after it airs 🙂 – Update. As I was typing this their official twitter tweeted they are ‘bringing some Disco Love’ so I guess that answers the question.

The girls are only hours away from a signing in Westfield London – yes a SIGNING PEOPLE – sadly they are only signing postcards, and I assume if you can throw down the £100 (plus credit) for a Nokia Lumia they might sign that too! If you are around and want to say hi to the girls pop down to the Carphone Warehouse there, apparently there isn’t too many people down there (as of 4.10pm) so it’s a good chance to say hi, even if you (like a lot of people I’d imagine) aren’t too fussed about the phones on offer. Remember IF you do buy a phone you enter the draw to the exclusive mini-concert with the girls next year.

Apart from that it’s all a little quiet, Frankie has been out and about with Wayne and Parker (as any new-mum would be!), Mollie has been partying with a Pussycat Doll and Rochelle and Una continue to be mums. Oh and Vanessa was partying it up at Halloween!

Hopefully we will hear news of the next single, give us your opinion on what you would like to hear via twitter! We always like a good discussion with the fans!

Until tomorrow … 🙂

Living For The Weekend enters at … 10

Firstly a HUGE congratulations to the girls for their Top 10 album, Living For The Weekend.

As announced yesterday the girls entered the UK album chart at number 10. The album sold just short of 10,000 copies last week giving the girls their 4th UK Top 10 album! So huge congratulations from everyone here at The Saturdays Fansite for this achievement.

I’m sure like most of you as last week went on, we saw the album slipping on iTunes we all feared for the worst, but it hung on in there!

Remember if you’ve not bought the album yet (and why not?!) you still can, you can visit iTunes and pick up the Standard or Deluxe editions, or head over to Amazon to buy the CD (or your local music store, if you have one!) or even go over to the girls official store and pick up a deluxe version of the album with a signed poster 🙂

All we now need is the Tour Announcement! Remember the girls are also on BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge tomorrow, so make sure you turn into that. If you are at work/school/college/uni and will miss it – like I am – hopefully the BBC will get some videos up for everyone who does miss it 🙂

The Alan Titchmarsh Show – 16th October

Today the girls appeared on The Alan Titchmarsh Show, which included an Interview, some Roller Skating and of course a performance of Disco Love, you can catch these below. Remember the girls new album, Living For The Weekend, is OUT NOW! Pick up a copy from iTunes (or your local music store!) now!

Performance: Disco Love

No Tour … yet! Announcement ‘soon’.

As you are probably like the rest of us, waiting Tour News, apparently it will be happening but not yet …

Rochelle was at BBC Radio 1 this morning and the tour was brought up:

Rochelle Humes has confirmed that The Saturdays are waiting for Frankie Sandford to return from maternity leave before going on their next tour.

“She would absolutely kill us if we went on tour without her,” she said.

“It’s her favourite thing to do so we’ll all be there together. It’ll be the five of us back in force together on tour.”

The singer confirmed that plans were in place and the band would be announcing dates “very soon”.

Sandford is expecting her first baby with her fiance, the footballer Wayne Bridge.

Humes recently returned to the group after having her first baby, a daughter named Alaia-Mai.

Her husband Marvin Humes, who found fame on The X Factor with JLS, has announced that he will be co-presenting BBC One talent show The Voice.

“I think he’s still very much an X Factor man,” said Rochelle Humes.

“I think it’s just a different career change for him as a presenting role. It came up at a good time.

“He actually spoke to Simon Cowell and the team and told them he was going to do it before he took the job, so all is cool there. It’s just an exciting new job for him.”

Humes also said they would both be returning to host ITV’s This Morning.

“It’s funny because I’m doing a little more presenting and more TV,” she said. “But I’ve actually always done it.

“I did that before The Saturdays so it’s come up as things have got better with us. I’ve just said yes to stuff and we all like to try things on our own now and again.”

Their fourth studio album, Living For the Weekend, was released on 14 October.

“When we’ve been credited we’ve really been involved in the writing and I think that’s important,” she said.

“We’re excited that it’s out now.”

Living For The Weekend – First Listen!

Remember you can listen to The Saturdays NEW ALBUM this evening at 7pm via Google+ so join in with the fun (and mayhem) as the girls preview songs from their new album, and remember if you like what you hear, get ordering!!

To get you in the mood, the first few album reviews are filtering in:

Maximum Pop:

7/10. Songs like ‘Lease My Love’ and ‘Problem With Love’ are the furthest they’ve journeyed into R&B and feels like a great continuation of the sound of ‘On Your Radar’, while ‘Leave A Light On’ is a cracking ballad and the uptempo tunes are big blasts of fun. Room for improvement, but not a bad result all round.

Female First:
4/5: There’s nothing ‘groundbreaking’ on the album – but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. The girls do the job they’re supposed to with hit after hit that could storm the charts if released as a single, and a ballad or two thrown in for good measure.

Good news on Disco Love too, we know that its Top 5 in the early sales, and it remains Top 5 on iTunes too. Looks like this could be a good sized hit for the girls 🙂 Keep on buying, and pre-order that album. All the links you ever need are to the right of this post >>>>>
