Institutional Researh

The Saturdays are signed to a label called Fascination Records, a UK-based record label which is owned by Universal Music Group (and is currently operating as a sub-label of Polydor).



Fascination Facts!

1. They label themselves Polydor Records 'boutique pop devision'.

2. It was developed 5 years ago in 2004 by Peter Loraine, a former magazine editor (TOTP). He worked previsouly as Polydor's Marketing Director, and was the reason that Girls Aloud managed to acheive a run of 20 consecutive top 10 hits (which broke a record).

3. To this day, Fascination boasts 16 top 10 singles and 12 top 10 albums.

4. Unintentionally, the label is now the UK's unofficial home of the girlbands. They have signed acts such as Girls Aloud, The Saturdays (OBVIOUSLY) and even Bananarama.

5. The label oversees all of ABBA's UK music 'comings and goings', this includes things from film 'Mama Mia', and 2006s 'Number Ones' Albums.
