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.
The Saturdays are:
Line 20:
{{tropelist}}
* [[Album Title Drop]]: ''On Your Radar'' is named for a line in "All Fired Up".
* [[Blonde, Brunette, Redhead]]: Mollie, Rochelle/Vanessa, Una.
** Frankie flip-flops between Blonde and Brunette.
* [[Break Up Song]]: Where do we begin... "Keep Her", "Chasing Lights", "Missing You", "Karma", "Forever is Over", "Ego", "Not Good Enough", just to name a few.
* [[Celebrity Endorsement]]: Do this quite a bit, their most notable one being for Veet hair removal.
* [[
* [[Cover Version]] / [[Charity Motivation Song]]: The girls released a cover of Depeche Mode's "Just Can't Get Enough" for Comic Relief.
* [[Creator Backlash]]: The group has regarded "If This Is Love" as one of their least favourite songs.
Line 42:
* [[The Gimmick]]: The color-coded artwork from the "Chasing Lights" era.
* [[Glamorous Wartime Singer|Glamourous Wartime Singers]]: The video for "Just Can't Get Enough" plays with this trope as the girls come to life in a calendar. There's also fashion from [[The Fifties]] featured as well.
* [[Hello, Nurse!]]: All of them, arguably.
* [[Hot Mom]]: Una recently became one. The daddy is rugby player [http://i.minus.com/ibm3wNxe0p8Vgq.jpeg Ben Foden] ([[Hot Dad|who is pretty good looking himself]]).
* [[In Da Club]]: Played straight in "Notorious". Subverted in "All Fired Up" in that while the song is about the club, [[Lyrics Video Mismatch|the video does not take place in one, and is actually rather artsy]].
* [[Older Than They Look]]: Una turned 30 in 2011, and is a good bit older than the rest of her bandmates.
** For comparison: Mollie, the second-eldest in the band, is six years younger (at 24) and Vanessa, the youngest, is eight (at 22).
* [[Melismatic Vocals]]: Mainly fom Vanessa, though sometimes from Rochelle and Una.
Line 53:
* [[Pay Evil Unto Evil]]: "Karma", and the video for "Ego".
* [[Playing to The Fetishes]]: The videos for "Work", "Just Can't Get Enough" and "Ego".
* [[Record Producer]]: Steve Mac & Ina Wroldsen have written and produced nearly all of their singles and album tracks.
* [[Signature Song]]: Most believe "Up" to be this.
* [[Singer Namedrop]]: Flo Rida in Higher -- ''Hey, Flo Rida/Frankie, Mollie/Una, Vanessa, Rochelle/Whatcha doin', Saturday girl?''
** Travie Mccoy does this for himself and The Saturdays during his feature in "The Way You Watch Me".
* [[Speed Dating]]: In the video for "30 Days". Though Una and Rochelle are clearly doing it for kicks, as Una shows off her baby bump and Rochelle her engagement ring to guys they don't particularly like.
* [[Spiritual Successor]]: Considered to be this to Girls Aloud by some, but the latter have not parted ways ''just'' yet.
** Brian Higgins, the brains behind Girls Aloud's music, wrote and produced "All Fired Up."
* [[The Show Must Go On]]: Despite being pregnant during, [[Pregnant Badass|Una still performed at every date of their All Fired Up Tour]].
