Rochelle Humes Says She Earned More in S Club Juniors Than in The Saturdays

Her account highlights a shift to label '360' contracts that reshaped pop paychecks.

Overview

  • In a Great Company podcast interview with Jamie Laing, Rochelle Humes said she earned more with S Club Juniors than during her years in The Saturdays.
  • She said The Saturdays were paid a set salary while most of her own income came from touring and brand partnerships rather than record sales.
  • She said labels moved to so‑called “360” deals that also took a share of tour and endorsement money, which left artists with less to take home.
  • She described intrusive paparazzi behavior at the time, recalling photographers trying to shoot up her skirt as she got into cars.
  • She also spoke about estrangement from her father, saying she lost any desire to reconnect after the birth of her first child.
