Better late than never! The Saturdays celebrate after finally scoring their first ever number one single with What About Us

They must have had that feeling of 'always the bridesmaid, never the bride' when it comes to the charts after failing to ever get their last 11 singles to the top.
But on Sunday night that all changed for The Saturdays, who managed to bag their first ever number one.
The girls were ecstatic after track What About Us was named this week's number one single... as well as becoming the fastest selling single of the year.
Number one! The girls left the Radio 1 building on Sunday night after their track What About Us became their first ever number one... and the fastest selling of the year so far in the UK
