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.

While I love this band, I’m baffled on a daily basis as to why they haven’t broken through yet. It baffles me at breakfast, lunch and dinner. But hopefully the Comic Relief single will expose them to a wider audience. It seems like we’ve been waiting forever for The Saturdays to gain mainstream approval.

The news is spoiled somewhat by the revelation that there’s a second Comic Relief single:

(We are pretending there is only one Comic Relief record when in fact there are two – the second is Rob Brydon and Ruth Jones performing ‘Islands In The Stream’ although that will almost certainly be utter shit.)

Ah well. It was nice to think the BBC Gods were smiling on The Saturdays, even if just for a minute.
