The Saturdays working with top producer Rodney Jerkins

Pop stars The Saturdays have been given a huge boost as they aim to break into the U.S. market - they're working with R&B superproducer Rodney Jerkins.

The British-Irish girl group is currently recording new music to follow up the forthcoming premiere of their reality show Chasing The Saturdays later this month (Jan13), and Jerkins has been giving them a helping hand.

A post on the All Fired Up hitmakers' Twitter.com page on Tuesday (08Jan13) reads: "Going into the studio with the legendary @RodneyJerkins again today!! Exciting times!"

The five-piece will be hoping to replicate the success of Jerkins' previous collaborations with the likes of Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Beyonce, Brandy and Lady Gaga.

The Saturdays released their last album, On Your Radar, in 2011.
