All Saints: all over, as good as

All Saints are almost certain to be dropped by their label Parlophone following poor sales of their Studio 1 comeback LP last year, which barely made the top 40 despite the success of its lead single 'Rock Steady'.
The quartet's next single, 'Chick Fit', seems certain to be their last when it's released on Monday. To be fair to the band's powers that be, i.e. those holding the pursestrings, it's really not a good track. Sorry ladies.
A mysterious source - which is slightly better than a mysterious sauce, we suppose - spoke to the Daily Mirror:
"'Chick Fit' is almost certainly going to be their last single and it will take a miracle to save the band now. They are still technically signed to the label but not for much longer. No official announcement will be made until after the single is released and all relevant parties are informed. It's unfortunate because we all had such high hopes for the reunion but it has proved to be a major let-down."
Hasn't it just. And if it wasn't for those pesky Take That kids you might just have gotten away with it. Gary Barlow, never trusted him. Funny eyes, small hands. Big mouth. Bet he likes his mysterious sauces...

nice pic tho.
All worth a little poo jab no?
mysterious sauce.
haha, legend.
I thought 'Rock Steady' was great. Just a one off then I guess.
Damn.
I always preferred the Spice Girls anyway.
Flat out
in Blatt
Chick Fit?
Sounds like some sort of Bird Flu epidemic.
O well
Life goes on.
Best comeback ever
Let's hope the Boyzone and Spicegirls reunions go off as well.
man
I loved all saints first 2 albums, they were brilliant and what they did. Shame they were so bad this time round.. And yeah, I always preferred spice girls anyway.
Psh!
All quite predictable that this would fall flat on it's arse. I'm looking forward to that 5ive come back I keep hearing about but never actually hearing or seeing for that matter. Bless All Saints though 8/10 for effort.
Given the choice,
I'd've preferred for Take That to fuck off.
This is what happens
When you make a comeback that nobody really wanted in the first place.
balls
patience was a great track
all aboard the bandwagon
Yeh ok, so the All Saints comeback seems to be dying a death, but to be fair it is more a reflection of bad management as well as a fine example of record companies these days pulling the plug if album sales don't hit the roof after the first single.
Studio 1 is a really good album, much better than a lot of the stuff in the top 40 at the moment, and it's also a lot better than their second album, (which went to number 1, by the way). All Saints will never be the Kaiser Chiefs et al, (or other bands that music-snobs wank over), but they're still very good at pop, so have a listen to their new album :)
Can someone pass me my dummy please.
Music Snobs
Wanking over the Kaiser Chiefs? What fresh nonsense is this?
Transplanting Parklife to Leeds? Its hardly fucking rocket science, now, is it?
Love football, love your mummy, love a drink but hate your middle class upbringing?
No they fucking don't. Get over it and stop wearing such skinny jeans. They should be old enough to know better.
Won't be fooled again!
