They've been around for awhile now, and getting top 5/10 hits but someone always seems to be stopping them from getting the top spot.

They are no 2 in the midweeks right now, and Rita Ora is still no 1, meaning it looks unlikely their gonna get the top spot :confused:

I'm not massive fans of them, but i do like their music. And 30 Days is really good song. :)

    No idea, but I don't see 30 Days getting to number 1 as it has slipped down the itunes chart to 9 now.

    Probably when people stop obsessing about it. They are however the only girl group with multiple top 10's never to have had at least 1 #1 so i can see why it's interesting but pressure on each single for me makes it less enjoyable and why ppl might not buy, it translates into desperation.
    With every song now it's not just see it hear it potentially buy it, it feels instead like 'is this going to be the one that goes #1'.
    I'm not a fan but even though i thought it was quite funny they haven't had one and threads like this pop up. Now i just think get on with it now and hit top spot because it feels like people can't enjoy their music until they can stop wondering why/if they are getting a singles #1.
    If it's good enough then it'll find it's way to the top.

    they definitely deserve a number 1, and they do have an outside chance this week but like you say they will probably just miss it. I think its often the fault of their management, choosing the wrong lead singles and screwing up the release schedules and promotion.

    They haven't much competition from other groups though, they launched 2008, just as GA were coming to the end of the Out Of Control era. There was a few new girlbands who came along and did not get albums out - Mini Viva, Girls Can't Catch, Wonderland.

    But they do have a habit of not releasing the right singles imo or moving on to the next album too quickly (Wordshaker to Headlines etc).

    Disagree with that. It was done for a reason and succeeded.

    I agree, they don't seem to have much competition among girlgroups although that's gonna change with Little Mix debuting this year. :D

    it is now number 5 in the midweeks so hopefully they can at least stay in the top 5.

    i blame their management as they always seem to release on a day another big song is out or they release the songs without much promotion, although they have been on chris moyles show, this morning, chatty man. i also think they need more airplay.

    They need to stop getting other artists tweeting about their song begging you to buy it. I've seen tweets from One Direction, Alexandra Burke, Pixie Lott and others about their new song. It's just desperate.

    They should've released Turn Myself In rather than 30 Days. Such a lovely song.

    Hope they get a no.1 one day. :)

    The only two songs of theirs that deserved a number 1 spot, were Up and Work.

    Higher was damn good as well though!

    Well I dont think that 30 Days will be the #1 on Sunday as in the Official Chart Friday Update it dropped down to #5.

    I have to say though imo a few of their past songs (Higher, AFU) should have been #1's :)

    And they were actually good:D

    The Saturdays' chances of a number 1? About as likely as Andy Murray winning a tennis Grand Slam title

    Well they're not exactly Girls Aloud and they're certainly not Spice Girls!

    I am amazed they had another go when their last album didn't do very well sales wise

    They're average - the cake falls flat despite the ingredients all being present. No memorable singles and low selling albums. A stopgap girl group to keep a few gays happy

    Each to their own. While they're not as impressive as TLC and a few other iconic girl bands, I think they're miles better than Girls Aloud.

    I think either Up or Work should have been their debut single. Work flopped because it was released too late and as it was released the week after MJ died the charts were full of his songs. All Fired Up should have been No 1.

    I can't ever see them getting a number 1.
    They generally chart well but the sales aren't fantastic.
    I buy their singles if I like them but otherwise I don't, the desperation to get a number 1 is very off-putting tbh. And their promo etc seems quite cynical, like Una choosing this week to talk about what happened with her fiance being pictured on his stag night etc and Mollie dragging out the Prince Harry thing by not commenting on it for ages. I understand why it makes sense to drum up publicity this way but it does not appeal to me. I like the Saturdays less since they came out. I don't get the impression that it is all about the music for them but about being celebrities etc and no, there is nothing wrong with that just does not appeal to me.
