I'm in no way acting like they sell THAT many singles, don't be stupid.
But they sell more than enough to keep themselves going, once you have to scrap the release and give it away for free (sugababes) then you've got a problem! The freebie also became the Sugababes first track to "shift" 200k copies since About You Now..... I'd hardly call that a problem..... |

I'm sorry, where's this information actually come from?

And that's because it was a freebie. Like 200k will have paid to have bought it. So yes, it is a problem.
My Mum thought she had to pay for it when she downloaded it..... |

A press release.....
And not really, because most of them would have still bought it.... You only have to see reviews from people on YouTube and Vevo and other video sites to see how many actually liked it..... My Mum thought she had to pay for it when she downloaded it..... |

I know you have already described Up as a special fave song when you started at Uni. It seems that their regular Autumn releases all represent a new year at Uni for you!
Each album also represents a new year.

You change it to 20p and people will stop picking it up because it's not free anymore. The point is that most of that '200k' will not have bought it. They will have only downloaded it because it's free. |

Could you link me to the press release please? It seems like Amazon wouldn't give out that kind of information.

I downloaded it cos it was free. I would have never bought it. You must be deluded if you think the amount of download from a FREE song would have any relation to it if it were to be up for sale.

The Saturdays don't need to sell albums. Album sales havne't been how pop acts make money for about 4 years.
The Saturdays tour ALOT without huge stage shows, they make money frm that, from endless sponsorships and from corporate gigs. Same reason Sugababes are still with thier management despite selling a total of 160,000 albums since 2008. Because they get paid between £12-20,000 for each corporate gig and they do ALOT. McFlys last album to sell more than 150,000 copies was back in 2005 (Radio:Active sold about 50k!) but they bring money in elsewhere and will *never* get dropped. |

I wonder if doing a Scooter type album next would be a good idea for The Saturdays?
E.g. Disc One - 15 new songs Disc Two: 01 If This Is Love 02 Up <radio edit> 03 Issues 04 Just Can't Get Enough <radio mix> 05 Work <phil tan radio edit> 06 Wordshaker 07 One Shot <starsmith mix> 08 Forever Is Over 09 Ego <single version> 10 Here Standing 11 Missing You 12 Higher <feat. flo rida> 13 Notorious 14 All Fired Up 15 My Heart Takes Over <rokstone remix> Although they could almost fill a Greatest Hits album, I think putting one out would only spur people to say "did they even have that many hits??!", but putting out a Singles Collection along side a brand new album, for around £8.99-£10.99 could sell well? |
