They're called The Saturdays because, as Rochelle explains, "It's everyone's favourite day of the week, and it's always the best night out."
They're pure pop, and proud of it. "Why are people ashamed of pop?" says Mollie. "Everyone's taking themselves so seriously at the moment. We're a proper, full-on girl band and we're loving it."
"We're not models who can't sing - we can all sing, we can all dance," adds Frankie, "and no one's telling us who to be or what to do. We're all different because we're just ourselves, and that's the way it should be."
In-depth Biography
The first major girl band to be launched in the U.K. after a multi-year drought, five-piece pop group the Saturdays boasted a photogenic appearance and electro-pop sound, leading to their labeling by some critics as the new Girls Aloud. Formed in 2007 through auditions that were held by a management company hoping to revive the flagging pop market, all five members had previous performing experience. Una Healy started singing in a rock band and later recorded her own solo album, which she showcased around bars and clubs in her native Ireland. Vanessa White attended the prestigious Sylvia Young Theatre School and appeared in the West End production of The Lion King. Mollie King had been part of girl band Fallen Angels, who made it through to the boot camp stages of ITV's The X Factor, while the two most recognizable members, Frankie Sanford and Rochelle Wiseman, were previously in teen pop band S Club Juniors, who scored six Top Ten hits in the early noughties. The band signed to an offshoot of Polydor Records, Fascination, the home of Girls Aloud, whom they later supported on the Tangled Up tour. Their first single, "If This Is Love," sampled Yazoo's "Situation" and reached number eight in the U.K. charts. Their self-titled debut album then appeared at the end of 2008. The group followed up with the mini-album Headlines!, led by the single "Missing You," in 2010. The Saturdays spent the bulk of the first part of 2011 working on their third album. The first single from the record, "My Heart Takes Over," was released in September, with the full-length On Your Radar appearing in November. ~ Jon O'Brien, Rovi
