The Saturdays set for first UK #1, already sold 65K

lways the bridesmaids, never the bride(s), could The Saturdays finally be heading for their first ever Official Number 1 single this weekend?
Since making their chart debut nearly five years ago, UK girl group The Saturdays have sold 3.6 million records, and clocked up no less than 11 Top 10 singles and three Top 40 albums. Despite almost reaching the summit with 2009 singles Just Can’t Get Enough and Forever Is Over, both of which peaked at Number 2, The Saturdays have never landed the coveted Number 1 slot. However, this could all change on Sunday as their new dancehall-infused track What About Us? FT Sean Paul leads a clear charge on the Official Chart Update.
Mollie, Frankie, Vanessa, Rochelle and Una now look set to end Justin Timberlake‘s three week run at Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart with What About Us? currently outselling JT’s Mirrors (Number 2) by more than two copies to one at this halfway stage.
“We’d really love to get that Number 1,” Mollie King tells OfficialCharts.com. “But we’ve been really lucky to have had 11 Top 10 singles, to have gone on three tours and have travelled all over the world.”
What About Us? is taken from the group’s upcoming fourth album, out later this year. The Saturdays have been busy in recent months filming a new E! series Chasing The Saturdays, following the band around Los Angeles as they set out to crack America.
The remainder of the Official Singles Chart Update Top 5 stays static with P!nk’s Just Give Me A Reason FT Fun.’s Nate Ruess’ at Number 3, Bruno Mars’ When I Was Your Man (4) and Bastille’s Pompeii (5).
