[[The Saturdays]] (often referred to as just [[Fan Nickname|'The Sats']]) are a British girl group that came to prominence after opening for [[Girls Aloud]]'s Tangled Up Tour in 2008. Despite the girl group scene in The UK being seemingly oversaturated enough with just two other acts (Girls Aloud and the Sugababes), The Saturdays managed to find a niche for themselves, and ten of their twelve released singles have gone Top 10 on the British Charts.
