Scoring the Comic Relief single this year is a major coup for The Saturdays. Their choice of Depeche Mode’s Just Can’t Get Enough particularly inspired, reminiscent of when Girls Aloud recycled Jump for the Love Actually soundtrack.

The Sun lauded this for being the sexiest video yet for The Saturdays, but as a red-blooded expert on all things sexy, I disagree. It’s about as sexy as Christina Aguilera back in that Lady Marmalade video – i.e. not at all. Gawd, give me Dawn French dressed up as Mel B any day!

Oooh – as I just read on PopJustice, girlband du jour The Saturdays are going to be releasing the Comic Relief single this year.

It’s going to be a cover of Depeche Mode’s Just Can’t Get Enough, which will fit in well with the 80’s revival and synth-heaviness of the contemporary charts. The PJ crew confidently predict this will be the group’s first ever #1 single, which will be an act of charity in more ways that one.

Let it be known, that with the release of the acoustic ballad Issues, new girlband The Saturdays may just have raised the game in their chart Jihad against the established skirt-acts like Girls Aloud and the Sugababes.

So…Have you heard all the buzz lately about The Saturdays? You can’t escape it. And they’ve released their first single, If This Is Love, and it’s already gone Top 10.

And since they’ve toured with that veteran pop act, Girls Aloud (veteran in pop terms anyway), you could almost take that as a sign that they’re the ‘approved’ successors once Cheryl or Nadine pull the plug on that group.
