Hazey Says | Rochelle+Vanessa’s “I just can’t help the way that I feel” leading towards the chorus is a decent moment. Otherwise, this is a pretty non-essential disco cover to me and sounds more like a B-Side usually does, unlike most of their back catalog. (5)
B-Side to Disco Love, cover of Evelyn King’s 1982 song, to compliment the disco sound of the A-Side.
In 2015, most people commented on the disco matching up with Disco Love and most were fan of that, some even said it was a better B-Side than On the Radio despite the overall ranking saying otherwise.
Commentary
@Attis (10) - Wait this is the real Disco eleganza.
@Ezz (7) - This could sit on an 80s album and feel at home. Sinitta popped into my head!
@louciano (6.5) - Cute.
@Phonetics Girl (6) - I mean, it's fine but it's cheap.
@daninternational (6) - The original isn't one I hear often, so not sacrilegious, but also not needed.
@Hazey's Mom (6) - Even though they throw in all the bells and whistles, the score kept coming down.
@Sally_Harper (5) - It’s ok but quite repetitive.
This is the type of comments you expect for lower ranking B-Sides, certainly lower than some of the ones we have lost so far. I'm not really all that about either disco cover, but at least On the radio is more memorable.
Shoutout Queen
It was my comment about Rochelle+Vanessa here plus a few more about Rochelle in 2015, so Rochelle takes the title.
Now it's time for an actual tie score! Living for the Weekend keeps taking a beating!

Hazey Says | The entire song is rather boring to my ears and always has been. I guess I’ll also give props to Rochelle for really going for it on the vocal and the punchy beat during the chorus backing her up is a small moment of whatever. (5)
The best ranked album track on Living for the Weekend in 2015, not including the B-Side Wildfire.
Written and produced by Darkchild.
In the previous rate, it didn’t seem like this was that popular of a song, considered how far it got. A few people thought it didn’t really sound like something from The Saturdays and was left as a one-of in their discography. Others were not into the lyrical theme or the song’s metaphors or called out Rochelle for being a little extra with her vocals. However, those who stan for Lease My Love, argued Darkchild helped bring out the best in Rochelle and felt she came out of her comfort zone here, delivering quite possibly her most dominant performance yet.
Commentary
@Phonetics Girl (10) - I'm weirdly hypnotized by the pounding beat and they're doing the most with those ad-libs huh. I need to re-adjust my bangs.
@daninternational (9) - Bit more intrigue in the title than most of their songs, they could have written a chorus worthy of the song though.
@Attis (9) - The whole song is pretty good except the chorus fff, if only it's not too repetitive.
@saviodxl (8.8) - Although the initial spoken "you can't lease my love"s are very annoying, the song builds up into a proper midtempo banger.
@Sally_Harper (8) - This is a bop and oh, RoboFrankie, how I love you. Rochelle is absolutely fantastic on this song– in fact, doing this rate has made me realize all over again how great Rochelle’s voice is, in general. It’s a shame she’s the least keen on a reunion.
@louciano (7.75) - The intro is tragic and often puts me off from listening to the song in full, but Una in the second verse sounds utterly gorgeous.
@Scaper (6.8) - Between this and his work on Nelly’s The Spirit Indestructible, Darkchild sure served up a whole lot of disappointment in the early 10s.
Well seeing two comments with a 9 stating the chorus is less than extraordinary really sums it up for me and why I never got excited about this.
Shoutout Queen
All of the girls having gotten some love in this rate or the last, but with 5 shoutouts, Rochelle has at least 2 more than anyone else. This really is her song anyways. Two in a row for her.
Hey, would you look at this, On Your Radar takes its second hit before Chasing Lights does. Wait until you see how far it has fallen, yikes!

Most Solo Time | Vanessa and Una
Hazey Says | Definitely better than I remember. The chorus is beautiful and everyone sounds wonderful on it. “I could wait for you, I could wait all night”, especially the last rendition of it coming off Mollie’s cute little line is a heartfelt moment. (8)
Frankie said this heart-felt ballad is her favorite song on the album. Lucie Silvas co-wrote the song which had a few voters looking forward to it.
It was mostly a love-fest in 2015 with many voters describing how much this soft ballad touched them emotionally. Vanessa was given plenty of praise for her vocals despite a couple people saying she wasn’t at her peak during this period. Mollie was also given a few shoutouts. The minimalist approach was considered a welcomed break from the dance-pop for those fans, however this was exactly the kind of qualities that made others say “meh” and not become attached.
Commentary
@Hazey's Mom (10) - A nice mellow moment.
@Sally_Harper (8) - I still find it a bit disappointing that they literally mean last call before going to sleep, rather than last call EVER. A lot of the lyrics really lend themselves to the darker interpretation and because I’m a miserable git I’m into that. In other news, I love Una’s “any more” adlibs, and I really wish Rochelle had led the song because Vanessa’s voice is…not in peak condition, shall we say. The harmonies on the last chorus are gorgeous and make me wish the album had been less focused on the “one member sings the chorus” formula.
@Phonetics Girl (8) - Hey, this is not as boring as I remembered! Actually, quite moving wtf
@saviodxl (7.6) - I had erased this one from my memory. And from my iTunes library.
@Ezz (7.5) - This and Wish I Didn't Know possibly don't need to be on the same album, but it's still cute.
@daninternational (7) - It's nice, but doesn't feel like a Sats song.
@Scaper (7) - A bit boring and long but they sound so good on it and there’s a nice build up throughout.
@Attis (6) - I enjoy a ballad, but this one is a bit too barren.
@louciano (4) - Yawn. Tired vocals make me tired. The absolute whiplash of this after the boppery that is White Lies on the track list is awful.
Interesting that I'm normally the very picky one with ballads and I came around to it this time, but the commentary reflects what happened to its placement in 2022. The utterly shocking drop of 31 spots was written on the back ballad-phobia it seems, based on what I'm reading above.
Shoutout Queens
The only band member who has never received 1 shoutout at all is poor Frankie. Unfortunately, her getting like one line if that really leaves it out of her hands. However, everyone else got either 3 or 4 compliments across the two Sats rates, so they're all getting recognized for the track.
