The Saturdays - Up
(written by Romdhane, Larossi & Wroldsen; 2008; UK #5; October 2008)

Whilst the Sugababes were off sampling Ernie K. Doe and Girls Aloud were busy channeling Spector, the UK's up-and-coming girl band slotted in to whip up the electopop sound that was currently lying vacant. Single one was a Yazoo sampling robotesque gem, but it was song number two that propelled them into the UK top 5 and became one of the most recognisable singles of the year. Consisting of two former S Club Juniors who were crafted by the hand of Simon Fuller, it would be hard to discount them as a two hit wonder.

Best Lyric: "This is the crossing at the main intersection/ Up is where we go from here/ Finest selection/ This could take us anywhere"
