It's a shame that, for all their UK Top 10 hits (seven total now),
The Saturdays have yet to hit #1. Granted, most of the dross on
Wordshaker was utterly derivative. But when all is said and done, folks will probably come to find they have quite a tidy greatest hits collection when the singles are played consecutively.
And so this week the ho pack's eighth single
"Missing You"—the first release off the
Headlines! mini album—pops into the Brit chart at
#3. The point of
Headlines!, which contains previously-released singles "Ego" and "Forever Is Over" plus a remix of
Wordshaker track "One Shot, is a mystery. Still, "Karma" is kind of nice for one or two listens before you eventually end up deleting the entire thing off your iTunes.
Funny how the Sats have yet to release anything as exciting as their first two single "If This Is Love" and "Up," the former of which
came out two years ago now. At this point, that seems like a lifetime.
