0:00:40 > 0:00:41..Calvin Harris.

0:00:44 > 0:00:48He's the singer, DJ, and producer everyone wants to work with.

0:00:50 > 0:00:53And it's made him one of music's highest ever earners.

0:00:57 > 0:01:00But how will he fair against...

0:01:00 > 0:01:03# So when I speak, listen This is my decision... #

0:01:03 > 0:01:06..girl band queens, The Saturdays.

0:01:08 > 0:01:10They look great, they sound great,

0:01:10 > 0:01:15and their videos have racked up more than 100 million online views.

0:01:15 > 0:01:18# I'm going to lift to lift it higher... #

0:01:20 > 0:01:22It's going to be a massive Pop Slam!

0:01:23 > 0:01:25Whose team are you on?

0:01:25 > 0:01:29Team Calvin or Team Saturdays?

0:01:29 > 0:01:31# Keep on messing up the words. #

0:01:33 > 0:01:35I'll be delving into the lives of these megastars

0:01:35 > 0:01:37to see who has what it takes to win

0:01:37 > 0:01:39the most coveted prize in pop music -

0:01:39 > 0:01:41the Ambo.

0:01:41 > 0:01:43There's only one way to win the Ambo,

0:01:43 > 0:01:47and that's by getting as many of my Ambo points as possible.

0:01:47 > 0:01:51I'll be dishing them out over three slamming rounds of pop-aucity.

0:01:51 > 0:01:55Where I meet the people who knew the stars back in the day,

0:01:55 > 0:01:58then I check out how hard they've been working.

0:01:59 > 0:02:02And finally, I scrutinise their style.

0:02:04 > 0:02:06All before the big moment.

0:02:08 > 0:02:12And the winner of the Ambo is...

0:02:12 > 0:02:14You might not agree with the outcome.

0:02:14 > 0:02:18That's OK. If not, get online to the CBBC website and have your say.

0:02:18 > 0:02:21But seriously, who do you think will win?

0:02:21 > 0:02:24I mean, Calvin produces such great music and look at him, he's so tall.

0:02:24 > 0:02:25I love tall people.

0:02:25 > 0:02:28But then there's The Saturdays, who are so cool and they're a girl band.

0:02:28 > 0:02:30I've always wanted to be in a girl band.

0:02:30 > 0:02:31Well, there's only one way to sort it.

0:02:31 > 0:02:34It's time for Pop Slam!

0:02:40 > 0:02:42Round One - Pop Potential.

0:02:42 > 0:02:45This is all about how our stars made it.

0:02:48 > 0:02:54MUSIC: "I Just Can't Get Enough" by The Saturdays

0:02:54 > 0:02:56Before they became The Saturdays,

0:02:56 > 0:03:01Frankie, Mollie, Una, Rochelle and Vanessa

0:03:01 > 0:03:04were just five kids from across the UK and Ireland

0:03:04 > 0:03:06who dreamt of making it big.

0:03:07 > 0:03:11MUSIC: "Flashback" by Calvin Harris

0:03:12 > 0:03:16Meanwhile, before Calvin Harris became the multimillion pound DJ,

0:03:16 > 0:03:20he was writing electropop on his home computer in Dumfries, Scotland.

0:03:24 > 0:03:26So how did Calvin and The Saturdays

0:03:26 > 0:03:29make it all the way to the top of the charts?

0:03:29 > 0:03:31First up, it's the girls.

0:03:32 > 0:03:34# Go, go, go

0:03:34 > 0:03:38# It's time to make a move and we both know... #

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Want to know how The Saturdays became a band?

0:03:40 > 0:03:43Actually, don't answer that cos I'm going to tell you anyway.

0:03:43 > 0:03:47Firstly, let's start with London's very own Mollie King.

0:03:47 > 0:03:51Let's pretend Mollie is this brown sauce. Go with me on this, OK?

0:03:51 > 0:03:54Back in 2004 when Mollie was just 19,

0:03:54 > 0:03:57her career was going downhill fast...

0:03:57 > 0:04:01And that's because she was in the British Junior Ski Team.

0:04:01 > 0:04:03But her heart was still in singing.

0:04:03 > 0:04:05Right, that's Mollie done.

0:04:05 > 0:04:10So what about Una Foden? Well, this little pepper represents Una.

0:04:10 > 0:04:12She grew up in County Tipperary, in Ireland.

0:04:12 > 0:04:15She tried everything before settling on music.

0:04:15 > 0:04:20I'm talking swimming, waitressing, banking, she was a swimming coach,

0:04:20 > 0:04:24medical secretary and then finally she got into singing-songwriting.

0:04:27 > 0:04:30Not only that, but here's Una doing backing vocals

0:04:30 > 0:04:34for the Irish entry in the 2006 Eurovision song contest.

0:04:37 > 0:04:38They came 10th.

0:04:38 > 0:04:42But we don't really talk about that. So that's Una.

0:04:42 > 0:04:45This little saltshaker is Vanessa White.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Now, Vanessa grew up in Somerset, in England,

0:04:48 > 0:04:51before moving over to London to attend the world-famous

0:04:51 > 0:04:53Sylvia Young Theatre School,

0:04:53 > 0:04:58and was a solo singer when she saw the ad to be in a girl band.

0:04:58 > 0:05:00So that's Vanessa White.

0:05:00 > 0:05:02And that leaves us to our last two...

0:05:02 > 0:05:07Frankie and Rochelle. Now, these two actually did know each other. How?

0:05:07 > 0:05:09Well, they were in a band together.

0:05:09 > 0:05:12At the age of 11, they were in a group called S Club Juniors.

0:05:12 > 0:05:15# One step closer to Heaven... #

0:05:15 > 0:05:16100% for real.

0:05:16 > 0:05:22Back in 2001, Frankie and Rachelle were part of the S Club Juniors.

0:05:22 > 0:05:25This band of eight talented kids were massive

0:05:25 > 0:05:27and scored six top-ten hits.

0:05:30 > 0:05:32Yes, that's really Rochelle,

0:05:32 > 0:05:35and that's really Frankie.

0:05:35 > 0:05:38And guess what, I've tracked down Stacy to give me all the goss.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41- Hi.- Hi, how's it going? - Great, thank you.

0:05:41 > 0:05:45S Club Juniors, give us all the goss. How did it all happen?

0:05:45 > 0:05:48Well, basically, there was a TV show which was aired on CBBC.

0:05:48 > 0:05:50It was called S Club Search.

0:05:53 > 0:05:56S Club Search was a TV talent show which toured Britain

0:05:56 > 0:05:58looking for kids to form a mini version

0:05:58 > 0:06:02of the huge pop group S Club 7.

0:06:02 > 0:06:04Imagine being in school one day

0:06:04 > 0:06:07and in front of millions of people on TV the next.

0:06:07 > 0:06:09That's what happened to Frankie and Rochelle.

0:06:09 > 0:06:12Did you have an inkling that you guys might have been picked

0:06:12 > 0:06:14to be in the band

0:06:14 > 0:06:17- or was it just totally out of nowhere?- No. We had no idea.

0:06:17 > 0:06:19Number 36, Francesca.

0:06:22 > 0:06:25So, from the get go, you won the competition and you went touring.

0:06:25 > 0:06:27- Is that right?- Yes. It was crazy.

0:06:27 > 0:06:29I think we had to pinch ourselves every day

0:06:29 > 0:06:30that it was actually happening.

0:06:30 > 0:06:33It's just... It was a whirlwind.

0:06:33 > 0:06:38# And it's taking all of my strength to keep me here... #

0:06:38 > 0:06:41So what were Frankie and Rochelle like?

0:06:41 > 0:06:42Very lively.

0:06:42 > 0:06:45Very loud personalities.

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Lovely, them.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50This disgusting thing. Looks like something my nan would wear.

0:06:50 > 0:06:51It's horrible.

0:06:51 > 0:06:53OK, knowledge test.

0:06:53 > 0:06:55Mi-mi-mi.

0:06:55 > 0:06:59- SHE SINGS:- One step closer to heaven, baby, means...

0:06:59 > 0:07:02- SHE SINGS: One step closer to you. - Oh, oh, oh.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04- Yay.- Let's form a band.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06- What do you say?- I think we should.

0:07:09 > 0:07:10S Club 9.

0:07:13 > 0:07:17That's five massive Ambo points for Rochelle and Frankie's

0:07:17 > 0:07:21successful pop career before they'd even finished school.

0:07:25 > 0:07:29# Tell me, baby, in the night Do you think of me? #

0:07:30 > 0:07:34Back to The Saturdays and let's fast-forward to 2007,

0:07:34 > 0:07:38when the girls had grown up and were all ready for a new challenge.

0:07:38 > 0:07:42The five finally came together after they successfully auditioned

0:07:42 > 0:07:44to join a new girl band.

0:07:44 > 0:07:47We're kind of on a mission at the minute to bring pop back

0:07:47 > 0:07:52and our first single is very poppy and very dancy.

0:07:52 > 0:07:55- We just want to bring fun music back, don't we?- Yeah.

0:07:55 > 0:08:00# If this is love then I don't want to know what is

0:08:00 > 0:08:02# I won't say another word... #

0:08:02 > 0:08:04In July 2008, the girls first single,

0:08:04 > 0:08:08If This Is Love, went straight into the top ten.

0:08:09 > 0:08:13For arriving in the charts in style, take two Ambo points.

0:08:13 > 0:08:15And that was just the start for our five girls.

0:08:17 > 0:08:18Do you know what I think I need now?

0:08:18 > 0:08:21A trip to Scotland and some Calvin time.

0:08:21 > 0:08:25MUSIC: "It Was Acceptable In The '80s" by Calvin Harris

0:08:30 > 0:08:34Calvin Harris is one of the most recognisable names in pop.

0:08:35 > 0:08:39But get this - the superstar DJ wasn't born Calvin.

0:08:39 > 0:08:42Back in the '80s, he was named Adam Wiles.

0:08:43 > 0:08:49# I've got love for you if you were born in the '80s, the '80s. #

0:08:51 > 0:08:54Right here is where Adam, AKA Calvin, grew up.

0:08:54 > 0:08:58Who'd have thought the 14-year-old who made dance tunes on his computer

0:08:58 > 0:09:02would go on to become one of the most successful dance acts ever.

0:09:02 > 0:09:04This is how Adam became Calvin.

0:09:06 > 0:09:11# I've got hugs for you if you were born in the '80s. Yeah. #

0:09:12 > 0:09:15As a kid, Adam was obsessed with music.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18But it was bands like Nirvana that he was into.

0:09:18 > 0:09:21MUSIC: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" by Nirvana

0:09:21 > 0:09:23But things are about to change

0:09:23 > 0:09:25when he got his hands on one of these bad boys.

0:09:25 > 0:09:27Yep, am Omega 500.

0:09:27 > 0:09:29Soon, he started playing around with the sound effects

0:09:29 > 0:09:32and before he knew it, he was creating his own tunes.

0:09:36 > 0:09:39For getting that old thing to somehow make music,

0:09:39 > 0:09:42I'm giving Adam two Ambo points.

0:09:45 > 0:09:50Fast forward four years and Adam, sorry, Calvin, had made it, right?

0:09:50 > 0:09:51Well, not quite.

0:09:51 > 0:09:54See, the thing is, he realised he needed the latest technology

0:09:54 > 0:09:56to take his music to the next level.

0:09:56 > 0:10:00So, to save up, he got a job here at this fish processing plant,

0:10:00 > 0:10:02and some of his mates have agreed to take me on a tour

0:10:02 > 0:10:04and give me the low down.

0:10:08 > 0:10:10- Take me to the fish.- OK.

0:10:13 > 0:10:16This is the very factory floor where Adam/Calvin

0:10:16 > 0:10:18used to put in the hours.

0:10:19 > 0:10:23No way, guys! Check it out. This is exactly what Adam would have done.

0:10:23 > 0:10:24- Can I have it go?- No.

0:10:31 > 0:10:33Mind if I join you here?

0:10:33 > 0:10:37I caught up with one of his old workmates, Colin.

0:10:37 > 0:10:39So, is this one of the jobs Adam would have had?

0:10:39 > 0:10:41Yes, for a little while, yes.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43What was he like when you first saw him?

0:10:43 > 0:10:46A very quiet, very introvert man.

0:10:46 > 0:10:47Oh, really?

0:10:47 > 0:10:50And you've obviously heard a little bit of his music.

0:10:50 > 0:10:53- What do you think of his music? - Very good. I like his music.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55- It's nice to see someone from our town doing well.- Yeah.

0:10:57 > 0:11:00Do you reckon this work might have inspired some of his songs?

0:11:00 > 0:11:02Oh, I don't know about that.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05I don't know, like, I was thinking we are very close, so...

0:11:05 > 0:11:10- SHE SINGS:- I feel so close to you right now. It's a force field...

0:11:10 > 0:11:13I can see it. I think he got it from here.

0:11:13 > 0:11:15Well, Colin, thank you so much for the chat.

0:11:15 > 0:11:18I don't want to hug you cos then I'll contaminate you.

0:11:18 > 0:11:19Jokes, jokes, jokes, get here.

0:11:19 > 0:11:23Now, let's go wash up. We're going to clean you up. Come on.

0:11:23 > 0:11:26# I feel so close to you right now... #

0:11:26 > 0:11:28Colin, what a ledge.

0:11:28 > 0:11:31Adam nets three Ambo points for putting in the hours

0:11:31 > 0:11:36at the fish factory and doing loads of other part-time jobs.

0:11:36 > 0:11:39And after a while, Adam managed to save the £4,000

0:11:39 > 0:11:41he needed to buy new recording equipment

0:11:41 > 0:11:45and head to London to try and get a record deal.

0:11:45 > 0:11:51# There's not stopping us right now I feel so close to you right now. #

0:11:51 > 0:11:52So Adam moved to London

0:11:52 > 0:11:55and he decided it was time for a bit of a name change as well.

0:11:55 > 0:11:58He wanted something a little bit mysterious,

0:11:58 > 0:12:01so Adam Wiles became Calvin Harris.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Ooh! Mystery guy.

0:12:04 > 0:12:08For picking a legendary name, have an Ambo point, Calvin.

0:12:09 > 0:12:11After finally getting signed in 2006,

0:12:11 > 0:12:15Calvin got to work the following year on his first album. Whoo!

0:12:15 > 0:12:19But not for himself. Actually, for my old Aussie mate, Kylie Minogue.

0:12:19 > 0:12:21She liked his style and who wouldn't?

0:12:21 > 0:12:24So she asked him to help her out on some tracks

0:12:24 > 0:12:26for her latest album, like this one.

0:12:26 > 0:12:30- SHE SINGS:- How does it feel in my arms?

0:12:32 > 0:12:38# How does it feel in my arms? #

0:12:39 > 0:12:42Writing songs for Kylie, awesome.

0:12:42 > 0:12:45Have three Ambo points for helping out a fellow Aussie.

0:12:47 > 0:12:51Then, in 2007, it was Calvin's big moment when he released

0:12:51 > 0:12:55his first album, and it smashed straight into the top ten.

0:12:55 > 0:12:57Ha, that's actually pretty big news.

0:12:57 > 0:13:00I better call Calvin and let him know.

0:13:00 > 0:13:02PHONE RINGS

0:13:02 > 0:13:03Hello?

0:13:03 > 0:13:06What's up? What's up, what's up, what's up, what's up?!

0:13:06 > 0:13:08Calvin, it's Ambo.

0:13:08 > 0:13:11- Nan, hi. How's bingo?- Yeah, good.

0:13:11 > 0:13:13Anyway, anyways...

0:13:13 > 0:13:16Big news. You've made it and you're a massive deal now.

0:13:16 > 0:13:18- Do you think you can handle it? - Yeah, I'll be fine.

0:13:18 > 0:13:21OK, you suit yourself. Keep it real, though, hey.

0:13:21 > 0:13:24Nan, I've got to go. OK. OK, bye.

0:13:24 > 0:13:27Oh, actually, before you go, next time you're in town let me know.

0:13:27 > 0:13:29- LINE GOES DEAD - Give me a bell and we'll... Hello?

0:13:30 > 0:13:34Oh, he accidentally hung up on me. I wonder why he was calling me Nan.

0:13:34 > 0:13:38Anyway, the fact still remains that Calvin was now huge,

0:13:38 > 0:13:39and I bet he was bouncing.

0:13:39 > 0:13:43MUSIC: "Bounce" by Calvin Harris feat. Kelis

0:13:47 > 0:13:50So how are the scores looking at the end of Round One?

0:13:51 > 0:13:53Calvin has nine Ambo points

0:13:53 > 0:13:56and The Saturdays are hot on his heels with seven.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Everything to play for.

0:13:59 > 0:14:01Now that we know how our stars made it,

0:14:01 > 0:14:05let's check out how hard they've been working since then.

0:14:05 > 0:14:08It's time for Round Two.

0:14:12 > 0:14:14Round Two - Pop Success.

0:14:14 > 0:14:17This is all about what our stars have been up to

0:14:17 > 0:14:20to make sure they stay at the top of the charts.

0:14:21 > 0:14:24When it comes to hard work, The Saturdays are all about it.

0:14:24 > 0:14:28In their first year, they claim to have had only two days off.

0:14:28 > 0:14:30Girls, I feel your pain.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33MUSIC: "Issues" by The Saturdays

0:14:33 > 0:14:36Wow, only two days off in one year.

0:14:36 > 0:14:40But, within those 12 months, the girls had released five singles

0:14:40 > 0:14:43from their debut album, Chasing Lights.

0:14:43 > 0:14:45That's five pop videos to shoot

0:14:45 > 0:14:47and constant interviews and TV appearances.

0:14:48 > 0:14:52Oh, yeah, they also were continually gigging,

0:14:52 > 0:14:54and even squeezed in a UK arena tour

0:14:54 > 0:14:57supporting fellow girl band, Girls Aloud.

0:14:59 > 0:15:03Non-stop music-making wins The Sats three ambo points.

0:15:10 > 0:15:13And they're not the only ones who have been putting in the hours.

0:15:15 > 0:15:19Calvin's also been working hard to get to the top of the charts.

0:15:22 > 0:15:26He's literally just churned out hit after hit after hit.

0:15:26 > 0:15:29He's not about making tunes that are going to be, like, bubblers

0:15:29 > 0:15:31or just album tracks, and that's what he's about.

0:15:31 > 0:15:33He's about hits.

0:15:33 > 0:15:38MUSIC: "Under Control" by Calvin Harris

0:15:38 > 0:15:41If there was ever any doubt of how big Calvin has become,

0:15:41 > 0:15:42check this out.

0:15:42 > 0:15:45In 2013, money magazine Forbes

0:15:45 > 0:15:49listed Calvin as the highest-paid DJ in the world.

0:15:49 > 0:15:53Get this, in one year he earned over £25 million.

0:15:53 > 0:15:56Whoa, I need to become a DJ.

0:15:56 > 0:15:59MUSIC: "You Used To Hold Me" by Calvin Harris

0:15:59 > 0:16:03Serious earnings means serious Ambo points. Three, in fact.

0:16:07 > 0:16:09So with all those hits,

0:16:09 > 0:16:11you'd think Calvin would be a really good singer, right?

0:16:11 > 0:16:14Well, let me tell you a little secret.

0:16:14 > 0:16:15(He's not a very good singer.)

0:16:15 > 0:16:17Ah!

0:16:20 > 0:16:21On his first two albums,

0:16:21 > 0:16:24I Created Disco and Ready For The Weekend,

0:16:24 > 0:16:27Calvin did nearly all his own vocals.

0:16:27 > 0:16:32He can hold a note, but by his own admission, he's no Beyonce.

0:16:32 > 0:16:37To take his music to the next level, he came up with a brilliant plan.

0:16:37 > 0:16:40Lucky for Calvin, by the time he released his third album,

0:16:40 > 0:16:4318 Months, he'd become so popular that he was able to say...

0:16:44 > 0:16:47"Oh, why don't I ditch this whole me singing vibe

0:16:47 > 0:16:51"and get other artists who can actually sing on my album instead.

0:16:51 > 0:16:54"Ha! Dear Ms Goulding, I wrote this amazing song

0:16:54 > 0:16:57"about love and holding hands.

0:16:57 > 0:17:01"I would totes love you to sing it. XOXO, Calvin. Send."

0:17:03 > 0:17:07# I take a deep breath every time I pass your door

0:17:07 > 0:17:10# I know you're there but I can't see you any more... #

0:17:11 > 0:17:13Calvin's plan worked big time.

0:17:13 > 0:17:16He had Florence Welch, Tinie Tempah,

0:17:16 > 0:17:19and even megastar Rihanna on the album.

0:17:19 > 0:17:23# We found love in a hopeless place... #

0:17:23 > 0:17:2918 Months racked up an amazing nine, yes, nine, top ten hits.

0:17:29 > 0:17:31That's a UK record, friends.

0:17:31 > 0:17:34So I'm giving Calvin three Ambo points.

0:17:34 > 0:17:37There's no doubt he has got the Midas touch.

0:17:37 > 0:17:41He's collaborated with so many massive recording artists

0:17:41 > 0:17:43and the more people he collaborates with, the more other people

0:17:43 > 0:17:46want to collaborate with him.

0:17:46 > 0:17:50# How do you think I feel when you call my name? #

0:17:50 > 0:17:53And luckily for everyone else in pop,

0:17:53 > 0:17:57Calvin is so hard-working that he's created massive tunes

0:17:57 > 0:18:01for stars like Cheryl Cole, Example and Dizzee Rascal.

0:18:01 > 0:18:04Oh, would somebody please give that man two bonus Ambo points

0:18:04 > 0:18:05for sharing the love?

0:18:09 > 0:18:12MUSIC: "30 Days" by The Saturdays

0:18:13 > 0:18:17But hang on. Let's not forget The Saturdays.

0:18:17 > 0:18:20These ladies sure know how to put the effort in too.

0:18:20 > 0:18:23# When I get to you... #

0:18:23 > 0:18:26When it comes to being pros on tour, the girls are seriously committed.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28For instance, when they were onstage in Dundee,

0:18:28 > 0:18:30Vanessa tripped down some stairs

0:18:30 > 0:18:34and seriously injured her ankle. Show over, right? Well, not quite.

0:18:34 > 0:18:36What happened next was incredible.

0:18:36 > 0:18:38Now, unfortunately there's no video footage

0:18:38 > 0:18:40but I can recreate it for you.

0:18:40 > 0:18:44First, I'm just going to need a stage... Let's put that there.

0:18:44 > 0:18:46Need some stairs.

0:18:46 > 0:18:48And Vanessa.

0:18:48 > 0:18:51- SHE SINGS:- All fired up, I feel alive.

0:18:51 > 0:18:54I'm fired up, I feel alive. All fired... Oh!

0:18:55 > 0:18:58Oh, my ankle. Oh, it's seriously hurt.

0:18:58 > 0:19:01I'm fine and I feel alive. Oh!

0:19:01 > 0:19:04Vanessa, this is your manager speaking.

0:19:04 > 0:19:06- I need you to get back out there. - I can't.

0:19:08 > 0:19:11- Yes, you can.- No, I can't. - You're right, I'll help you.

0:19:14 > 0:19:19- SHE SINGS:- All fired up, I feel alive. I feel alive!

0:19:19 > 0:19:22Look, I'm not 100% sure that that's how it went down,

0:19:22 > 0:19:24but Vanessa did get back out there

0:19:24 > 0:19:26and performed in front of everyone in a wheelchair.

0:19:26 > 0:19:28Have three Ambo points.

0:19:30 > 0:19:32# We going to be better together

0:19:32 > 0:19:35# So what's up, baby? What about us? #

0:19:36 > 0:19:38The Sats have the commitment down

0:19:38 > 0:19:42but unbelievably they hadn't won the ultimate prize in pop -

0:19:42 > 0:19:43a number one.

0:19:44 > 0:19:48In 2012, their hard work finally paid off

0:19:48 > 0:19:50when after 11 top-ten singles,

0:19:50 > 0:19:56they finally landed that elusive UK number one with What About Us.

0:19:56 > 0:19:59# What about us? #

0:19:59 > 0:20:05I think they've had like 12, 13, 14 singles and they're all genius.

0:20:05 > 0:20:06Every time I hear a new single, I'm like,

0:20:06 > 0:20:09"This is my new favourite Saturdays song."

0:20:09 > 0:20:13Ladies, take two Ambo points for getting to the top of the charts.

0:20:17 > 0:20:20The question is... How is all this hard work affected

0:20:20 > 0:20:22those all-important record sales?

0:20:22 > 0:20:24Let's take a looksie.

0:20:25 > 0:20:29# Sometimes I miss hurting you... #

0:20:29 > 0:20:34The Saturdays have sold a massive 4.3 million records in the UK.

0:20:34 > 0:20:36Good work, ladies.

0:20:36 > 0:20:40# Why can't I realise

0:20:40 > 0:20:44# I'm fighting for my life... #

0:20:44 > 0:20:46But the clear winner in the numbers game

0:20:46 > 0:20:51is Calvin Harris with a staggering 8.3 million record sales.

0:20:57 > 0:21:01That earns him three Ambo points and two points going to The Saturdays.

0:21:02 > 0:21:04So what does that mean for the scores?

0:21:07 > 0:21:08Calvin's mega record sales

0:21:08 > 0:21:10have edged him ahead

0:21:10 > 0:21:12and he now leads on 20 Ambo points

0:21:12 > 0:21:14with The Saturdays

0:21:14 > 0:21:15in a hot pursuit on 17.

0:21:15 > 0:21:19Don't agree? You know what to do. Get online and have your say.

0:21:21 > 0:21:24We've seen our stars' pop potential and how hard they worked at it,

0:21:24 > 0:21:27but now that they've reached the dizzy heights of superstardom,

0:21:27 > 0:21:30let's see how glamorously outrageous they've become.

0:21:30 > 0:21:31Round Three, what you've got?

0:21:36 > 0:21:38Round Three - Pop Style.

0:21:38 > 0:21:41This is all about our celebrities' lives.

0:21:41 > 0:21:44Clothes, cars, pets or whatever else they splash their cash on.

0:21:46 > 0:21:49# You're not a lady if you're always on your knees

0:21:49 > 0:21:53# Shouldn't have to beg a gentleman, so please be gentle, please

0:21:53 > 0:21:56# Oh, you're beautiful

0:21:56 > 0:22:00# Oh, I hope you know... #

0:22:00 > 0:22:02The Saturdays are glam. Fact!

0:22:02 > 0:22:05And I'm about to meet the guy who makes The Saturdays

0:22:05 > 0:22:07look like The Saturdays. Exciting!

0:22:07 > 0:22:10# Oh, if you can't see

0:22:10 > 0:22:15# Then maybe he's not meant to be... #

0:22:15 > 0:22:18Now, Frank, you're The Saturdays' actual stylist. I'm a bit of a fan.

0:22:18 > 0:22:19How do I get their look?

0:22:19 > 0:22:21Well, you're lucky because I've got

0:22:21 > 0:22:23some of their actual clothes here with me.

0:22:23 > 0:22:25So we can talk through them.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27As you can see, it's super bright and colourful

0:22:27 > 0:22:29cos that's basically what The Saturdays are all about.

0:22:29 > 0:22:32# You had his baby, so you might got him for now

0:22:32 > 0:22:37# He already had the milk, so why would he go buy the cow? #

0:22:37 > 0:22:39How do you pick who has what kind of look?

0:22:39 > 0:22:41Cos they're all a little bit different.

0:22:41 > 0:22:42Well, they do that for me

0:22:42 > 0:22:44because they all have their own personalities

0:22:44 > 0:22:49and I never try to sort of hide who they really are.

0:22:49 > 0:22:53MUSIC: "Not Giving Up" by The Saturdays

0:22:56 > 0:22:59Although The Sats are famous for their bright colours,

0:22:59 > 0:23:02when Frank was asked to style the video for Not Giving Up,

0:23:02 > 0:23:06he made a big call to dress the girls all in black.

0:23:06 > 0:23:08Say what?

0:23:11 > 0:23:17- These are Una's leggings from the video.- Oh, they are awesome!

0:23:17 > 0:23:18# Hit me so hard I don't know where

0:23:18 > 0:23:21# Starstruck up in the air

0:23:21 > 0:23:24# Got me, got me with my eyes wide open... #

0:23:24 > 0:23:30This is Mollie's belt which we had made specially for her.

0:23:35 > 0:23:36That is so cool.

0:23:36 > 0:23:38In the video when the lights are on this,

0:23:38 > 0:23:40it reflects on the shiny, glossy surface.

0:23:40 > 0:23:43# I'll be your rock of gold... #

0:23:43 > 0:23:45I'm so in love with The Sats' style.

0:23:45 > 0:23:49Take four Ambo points for all-around style-tasticness.

0:23:52 > 0:23:56# I get all the girls I get all the girls. #

0:23:56 > 0:23:58But what's about Calvin's look?

0:23:58 > 0:24:02Over the years, we've watched him transform in front of our very eyes.

0:24:02 > 0:24:05Calvin Harris' career has gone like that.

0:24:05 > 0:24:07So have his looks because if you look

0:24:07 > 0:24:10at how he used to appear, he looked quite geeky.

0:24:10 > 0:24:12He was quite pale.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13He was this guy from Dumfries.

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Looked like he never got out of his bedroom.

0:24:15 > 0:24:19And suddenly, you saw him in one of his videos in LA

0:24:19 > 0:24:23and I just thought, "Is this the same person?"

0:24:26 > 0:24:29You go to LA, everybody is very, very sparkly looking.

0:24:29 > 0:24:32Everybody looks like 1 million all of the time.

0:24:32 > 0:24:35He's an international brand now, so he has to fit in with that.

0:24:35 > 0:24:37So...he looks good.

0:24:37 > 0:24:40- But, he's just got money now. Lots of it.- Yeah.- In fact, millions.

0:24:43 > 0:24:47Calvin's got the LA look and the LA bank balance,

0:24:47 > 0:24:50so there's only one place he was going to live.

0:24:50 > 0:24:51Welcome to the Hollywood Hills!

0:24:54 > 0:24:56Calvin moved here in 2013

0:24:56 > 0:25:00and splashed a cool £4 million on an eco-friendly house

0:25:00 > 0:25:04complete with an infinity pool overlooking the Sunset Boulevard.

0:25:04 > 0:25:06I can see why he did that.

0:25:08 > 0:25:12For going all LA cool on us, take four Ambo points.

0:25:16 > 0:25:21# Forever is over and my heart's not going to break... #

0:25:22 > 0:25:25Meanwhile, The Saturday girls have been spending up big

0:25:25 > 0:25:27on heaps of things like designer bags...

0:25:27 > 0:25:31Oh, probably a bit better than this one.

0:25:31 > 0:25:33# Cos if I don't get up now I may never escape

0:25:33 > 0:25:36# Your power is fading away... #

0:25:36 > 0:25:38And dogs. Hello. Lots of dogs.

0:25:39 > 0:25:41Oh, sorry. You can have your dog back now.

0:25:48 > 0:25:52So, get this. At last count, the girls had nine dogs between them.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54It's like a dog overload.

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Firstly, there's Vanessa, who has Peaches the Pomeranian

0:25:57 > 0:25:59and George, the little toy poodle.

0:25:59 > 0:26:02Then there's Rochelle, who also has a Pomeranian called Tiger

0:26:02 > 0:26:04and a Yorkshire called Pudding.

0:26:04 > 0:26:06Then, there's Una, who has Bonner the terrier,

0:26:06 > 0:26:10and Jackson the Jack Russell cross pug and it keeps going!

0:26:10 > 0:26:11Frankie also has two dogs.

0:26:11 > 0:26:14She has Presley the pug and Pixie the Chihuahua.

0:26:14 > 0:26:16And last but not least, Mollie.

0:26:16 > 0:26:18And thank goodness she only has one dog.

0:26:18 > 0:26:20A little Maltese called Alfie.

0:26:20 > 0:26:23All I'm saying is I would hate to be on their tour bus

0:26:23 > 0:26:24cos it would stink.

0:26:24 > 0:26:29# Over, my heart's not going to break... #

0:26:29 > 0:26:33That's two Ambo points for super cute pooches.

0:26:33 > 0:26:36And on that four-legged note, we're done with Round Three.

0:26:40 > 0:26:44We're at the end of Pop Slam and it has been amazing!

0:26:44 > 0:26:46But, we still have this bad boy to give away.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48So who has won the Ambo?

0:26:48 > 0:26:50Will it be The Saturdays or Calvin Harris?

0:26:50 > 0:26:52SHE GASPS

0:26:52 > 0:26:53Let's look back at what we've learnt.

0:26:56 > 0:26:59We've seen Calvin Harris go from bedroom DJ

0:26:59 > 0:27:01to be one of the biggest names in dance music.

0:27:03 > 0:27:07And we've seen The Sats go from pop kids to pop queens.

0:27:07 > 0:27:10Both are super hard workers but who's got the most points

0:27:10 > 0:27:13to win this Pop Slam?

0:27:13 > 0:27:14Well, ladies and gentlemen,

0:27:14 > 0:27:16it's the moment we've all been waiting for.

0:27:16 > 0:27:20The points have been counted and independently verified by me.

0:27:21 > 0:27:24And the winner of the Ambo is...

0:27:31 > 0:27:35It's Calvin Harris! Oh, get out of here. Come here, big guy.

0:27:35 > 0:27:38I'm so proud of you. You look about as excited as you must be feeling.

0:27:38 > 0:27:40Let's see some more of you in action.

0:27:41 > 0:27:46MUSIC: "Summer" by Calvin Harris

0:27:49 > 0:27:52What's up? What's up, what's up, what's up? What is up?

0:27:52 > 0:27:55What is up with you, Calvin?! Guess what, you have just won Pop Slam.

0:27:55 > 0:27:58I'm not even kidding. I'm actually holding your trophy.

0:27:58 > 0:27:59It's gold, it's glittery.

0:27:59 > 0:28:01You know what, I can actually send a photo on my phone

0:28:01 > 0:28:04to your phone of the trophy cos it is amazing.

0:28:04 > 0:28:07I would put it on my wall if I were you. How are you feeling?

0:28:07 > 0:28:08LINE GOES DEAD
