The Satz performed "Up" and "Issues" at the National Television Awards last night.

they were also on Live Lounge this morning, performing an acoustic version of "Up" as well as a cover of "Beggin'."

also, happy 19th birthday to Vanessa today! <3

I downloaded the album yesterday and am impressed! It's better than I expected. I really like "Issues", "Chasing Lights", and "Keep Her".

JaysenRyan 30th October 2008 09:22 PM

ive listened to this album a billion times already and i have to say "Up" "Keep her" and "Lies" are by far my favorites.

Re:★ 2nd November 2008 06:16 PM

Album just missed the top ten, at #11. Blame Oasis. :P

drewbilation 2nd November 2008 07:34 PM

11's not bad, but it's a bit disappointing after they spent all week at no. 9 in the mids. and since "Up" has just had its third week in the top ten, I don't think we have to worry about them getting dropped right now.

if the next single flops, though, I think they're done. =/

edit~ the album sold 22,294 which is not bad at all for no. 11! they sold about 1k less than Sugababes' album last week, and it was no. 8.

also, "Up" sold another 22,491 copies this week, bringing its total to 71,623.

Wow! Up sold really well!!! And the album didn't sell badly at all!! It sold more than I thought it would at this stage. Plus, #11 isn't such a bad position, considering how new they are....

I ordered Chasing Lights the other day!
But I'm actually not going to open it until December, because bondingo and I are going to open ours together! :D ;)

I love you :laugh

But yeah, I ordered mine a few weeks ago. Then I canceled and reordered so the shipment would include Girls Aloud's Tangled Up Tour :D

My friend and I just listened to the entire album, and I am so surprised, I like almost every single track, which is rare for me. My favorite song though is Chasing Lights. <3

drewbilation 15th November 2008 11:00 PM

"Up" was no. 13 last week and sold 19,025 copies, and "Chasing Lights" was no. 21 and sold 13,036 copies. their totals are now 90,648 and 35,429, respectively.

also, on Monday the girls had a shoot for FHM magazine and rerecorded a bit of their next single, "Issues."

they also shot the video on Thursday:

aqua_crystal 15th November 2008 11:09 PM

^^Oh so they'll be releasing a video for Issues?! Good choice! Love that song!

drewbilation 15th November 2008 11:17 PM

^ yep. the single itself is supposed to be released in mid-January, so they should be able to get an easy top ten placement, and the video will probably be out sometime in December.

bondingo 16th November 2008 02:53 AM

It's too bad the album isn't selling that well. I really want them to have a hit that really boosts them to A-list status. I thought Up might do that but I guess it wasn't huge enough to impact the album sales in a major way.

Apparently, after successfully directing the provocative and elaborately costumed Girls Aloud "Can’t Speak French" video, our man Petro is the ladies choice for Great Britain’s hottest chart topping girl groups, with The Saturdays being the latest to enlist him to direct their most recent video…here's a shot from the set of him wrangling the lovely ladies on a beach clearly far, far, away from Los Angeles:

More to come soon...stay tuned!

definitely a more mature look for them! and I love how they're keeping with their color-coding theme with the umbrellas, but in a much less obvious way. <3

aqua_crystal 22nd November 2008 06:33 AM

^^Dayum, man!! I loove those umbrellas!! Divas get everything. Seriously.

drewbilation 22nd November 2008 08:54 PM

"Issues" will be released January 5th, and the b-side will be a studio version of "Beggin'."

Oh my God! I loved their Live Lounge version of Beggin', so this is amazing. I can't wait :D

Kaiouforever 23rd November 2008 01:43 AM

I love Issues! And the picture is great, I love that they are using colors in such a fun and creative way.

p3ayu 24th November 2008 04:31 AM

I downloaded the album last weekend and it's pretty good for a new group. I really like Up and Work, but I can hardly listen to Issues :/ which sucks since it's the next single haha

"People say we've done well but we're not there yet.

"At least we’re not one-hit wonders."

But the popsters, who performed at the launch of Air Asia's new £99 flights from London to Kuala Lumpur, are not quite leading the glam life yet.

Mollie added: "We filmed our next single Issues on a beach – but rather than somewhere hot like Miami we shot it in a freezing Whitstable."

The only way is up ladies…

I'll most likely be buying this.
