So the girls are officially working on their 4th album. So I thought I'd start the topic.
Here's an article from CapitalFM.
If LM4 won't give us Salute teas, they can keep it.
I don't want them to go too Rnb, that sound clearly didn't connect with the public as much as their pop sound did.
I want a new sound. I liked it when they said they like to constantly delivers albums with an unexpected sounds. Just hope they don't risk it too much.
I'm really intrigued as to who this collaboration is to prompt that kind of reaction from Perrie, must be someone pretty big
Praying for queen Nicki tbh. I am convinced it will slay everyone!!
So hyped for album 4, don't really care if they go back towards developing a Salute sound, or advance the pop they've gone for with Get Weird or somewhere in the middle. it'll be undoubtedly flawless regardless!!
Who are Perrie's influences? That'd be a pretty good place to start guesses. Wildcard but maybe Taylor Swift after their appearance on her 1989 tour?
I'm so here for t swift and LM to collab, omg
I've came to the conclusion for the lead single we need a DNA follow up which is an EDM/R&B
Something with a beat similar to Turn Down For What... or
Bassnectar - Vava Voom
Ohhhh,
The girls are in the studio today.
I still wonder if it's going to be a re-release though rather than album 4. I really wouldn't be surprised. If they tied it in with a tour DVD release it would be quite an attractive offer.
I'm beginning to wonder if we will actually get LM4 this year after all. They've got a few weeks with nothing (that we know of) booked until V Festival so that gives them time to fully focus on writing and recording LM4. It really depends whether they go for 2 pre-album singles or 1. I really hope it's two because the last time they went for an album release straight after a lead single look what happened!
I really don't see LM4 happening this year. It's month 7 already and no lead single coming soon. And I'd rather have at least 2 singles out before the album release. I wouldn't mind some new songs with the DVD
It's so funny when the HQ signs off the names of the girls when it's obviously not them!
I can't see how we'd get a new album this year.
If we did get LM4 this year it would feel rushed IMO. Given they spent so long and took so much care with Get Weird I can't see how they would rush out an album this year. Bear in mind last year we got the first play of BM in May before it was released in July (a year ago tomorrow in fact) while they haven't even written LM4 let alone recorded it. IMO they're much better off releasing LM4 in the first 3 months of next year
I still think it'd be a good idea to release SOMETHING new this Q4. Gaps and breaks aren't too great in the fickle pop world. I honestly think a re release would be perfect.
I'd be very surprised if they didn't release the lead single in time for an X Factor performance. Surely Cowell isn't going to have them not perform on both of his big shows in the same year?
Yeah, I need a X-factor performance. New single in november, single 2 in late february/early march, perhaps even a single 3 before the album release and then album out on q4
There is no way they would release their first single in November this year and wait a whole year to release their next album!
I reckon we'll have at least the first single before the end of the year not, if not very early 2017.
John Alamu, who is a vocal coach, tweeted earlier that he did a session with 2 of Little Mix today and will be working with the other two tomorrow. It looks like Leigh was one of the two today judging by her snapchat about vocal warm-ups. Don't know which of the girls was with her though
Earlier today Jade posted a pic on Instagram of one of their 'Little Mix bibles' with the caption 'LM4', so we know they're deffo writing the new album rather than just doing nothing until V Festival
New music is definitely on the way as they just posted a "Throwback Thursday" of them writing ideas down and captioned the TBT post with "new music is on the way, don't worry" or something <3
I don't know if The Sun is reliable but omg y'all!!
Why would they start working on the tour if they don't have the new material to use? Haha.
There's been rumours about Snakehips and DJ Snake, but what we know for sure is that the girls have definitely been working with Ryan Lewis. Yes, THE Ryan Lewis who works with Macklemore!!
Well I really hope it's something like Can't Hold Us, I can already how awesome the next tour will be. If it's like Downtown or Thrift Shop, keep it.
Oh and who do y'all think this "A list female artist" is? I'm leaning towards Ariana...or Adele - it's a reach, yes, but she loves them a lot and I really really want a ballad written by them.
But knowing these ladies....lmao
Ariana is a pretty good shout tbf. But we shall see. Good to see that after the success of 'Get Weird', they are being given the money to work with current and popular producers! Please be stellar!!
I'd love it to be Ariana but I don't think it makes sense. Though it would be beneficial for both. Ariana is sort of big in the UK but she could use a little bump from these ladies, and LM could use her name in the US.
Ariana would be my best guess for the 'A List female artist'. Several times Leigh and Perrie, especially Perrie have posted snaps of themselves listening to Ariana's music (Jade's snapchat only seems to work when she's in the US)
As Jade is my fave it's frustrating that we get so little from her
Ariana isn't exactly picky with her collabs so I hope
it's her. Nathan Sykes and Jessie J...
I'd be really happy with Ariana. I hope whoever it is they actually get to perform the song with the artist on tv and actively promote it together. Someone who is big in the US would be awesome. Have they said if it's a girl or boy? I hope it's a girl this time.
You make a very good point there. To this day they've never actually met Missy and I'm not aware of them ever meeting Sean. Of their three collabs they've only actually performed with the other artist on TV twice!
I have a feeling we'll have some news by the end of August tbh
Maybe they'll announce something at V Festival? Would be a great time to debut a new song
It could be and we don't know, all HQ seem to be doing is tweeting terrible memes
Sugarscape interview with Perrie about LM4
http://www.sugarscape.com/music/a1090898/little-mix-perrie-edwards-album/
Jade has stated that the first single has been picked and they are releasing the album before Christmas.
^ came here to post it. Saw it yesterday on ATRL. Surpirsed that nobody is talking about it here, cuz it's BIG news.
Expected the lead single in January or February and it seems they are releasing it next month
I dunno what to believe tbh. Al along they've been saying they won't rush the album, now Jade is saying they want it to be out before Christmas?
I'll still be really surprised if the album is actually released before Christmas, regardless of the time frames they're aiming towards.
I don't think the album was "rushed" in any way. I remember an interview during the BRIT's time where Perrie said they had already recorded songs and were exhausted. They probably recorded a lot of stuff for the past 4/5 months
I think they've been recording it on and off since the start of 2016!
Wouldn't surprise me if we hear something next weekend
Yeah I really think there'll at least be solid news by the end of the month, possibly even a song. The way music works now, is that things get announced out of the blue.
The girls have just done an interview with Capital backstage at V Festival and they've confirmed the lead single of LM4 will be out in October
As much as I'm excited about this era, I don't want them to release the album a month or two after the lead single (they said album might come out this year). That's giving me Salute era teas and I'm not here for that kind of messy era again. No ma'am.
They've just been announced for he R1 Teen Awards on the 23rd of October. So that pretty much confirms off the batt huge support from r1. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the first of their singles to go straight to B or A list for them.
Amazing news. I think this era has really made people pay attention to them and realise how big they are.
It's definitely put them at the forefront of everyone's minds. Definitely made people take more notice of them! I just hope they don't drop the ball! He need higher tier pop. I think it'll be too soon for them to delve straight into RnB tinted pop again, although some as Urban and poppy as 'Work From Home' would be stellar for them!
Craig David collab pretty much confirmed? Haha!
Great to hear about the Teen Awards, encouraging to know they're getting Radio 1 support right at the start of the LM4 era
We appear to have the title of LM4's lead single. Some guy called Jesus Palacios (great name) posted a pic on Instagram with the caption 'on the set of the new @LittleMix video #ShoutoutToMyEx
And the photos from before in the desert look like the real deal.
Excited much!
Apparently he's now deleted the pic. Looks like someone got in trouble!
The dessert setting and the title immediately made me think of this classic:
Serve me a Mya sized bop Little Mix
Shoutout To My Ex is an incredible song title, I'm so excited!
Ahhhh! IT'S HAPPENING!!!
Serve me some of that Mya too, please!
I have a feeling if we get the single in October, the album pre-order will be for the first week of December/last week of November, given the album release announcements have recently been a lot closer to the actual release date.
I think they will get a Brit nomination for best UK group this year without a doubt, with 1D out of the way for the token pop act (if the album comes out in time). SLS could just about qualify for best single, failing that SOTME might make it?
Surely they must be in with a chance of a Brits nom for Best Group next year? Then again they didn't get one when they had the second biggest selling album by a British Group and I lost faith in the Brits years ago. As for British Single, I have a horrible feeling SLS will narrowly miss out, although if SOTME makes a big initial impact it could be in with a chance
Do we think Little Mix can better their opening tally of 60k for the new album?
Agree, it will depend on the lead. But I think they'll manage it!
They had a much longer pre order and the huge single with Get Weird though. Did sales decrease a lot in this past year?
. @KeepingUpWithLM 27m27 minutes ago
It's likely "Shout Out To My Ex" will be the international lead single (excluding the US).
. @KeepingUpWithLM 26m26 minutes ago
with "Touch" featuring Ariana Grande being the lead US single and second international single in Q1.
My poor weave.
OMFG!!!!!
LITTLE MIX AND ARI!!! :shakingcheeseblock:
DAT VIDEO THO *.*
Fantastic strategy if true as Touch will end up being able to do a Secret Love Song and catapult up the charts straight from album release thanks to the interest around Ariana whereas if it was the other way around it wouldn't quite work as well.
Oh wow! That prospect really excites me.
Really hope the rumours about the Ariana collab are true
If that's true, I might die... this is TOO F'ING MUCH!!
@radiohartlepool
The girls are back! @LittleMix with new single #Shoutouttomyex and album on Nov 18th. Our @Aidan94Radio is sooo happy #TheMorningShow
New album that soon!?!?
Same day as Louisa Johnson. Strange move from Syco I have to say but oh well, capitalise on those festive sales (Louisa will sure need them).
I am excited for new LM music. As much as I wasn't a fan of the 'Get Weird' album in full I have faith they will really bring it, they always do with their singles anyway.
I can see LM now being as overworked as 1D were if it is going to be a new album every year
I hardly believe it will, genuinely don't think they'll have anything out in 2017, unless by a miracle they find success in America, but then I think they'll be more than happy to do another one, despite tired.
I doubt LM5 will come out in 2017. They're in America with Ariana from beginning of February until mid-April, then they will inevitably have their own tour which will hopefully include North & South America. It's entirely possible they could be touring until November next year
Yeah I don't see a full album for 2017 either. I also wouldn't say they are being overworked, the next year is going to be difficult, but if they want to crack the US then they need to do it at some point. Plus they've been off work for a little while ATM, and they'll be off again for Christmas. I hope in 2017 they'll get enough rest as it's going to be intense, but it should be fun intense. I think they can definitely keep their sanity if they don't bother working on an album and just focus on promo and touring and use time they could work on music as downtime to see friends and family.
If it's true it's out on the 18th of November, there is a chance of a #1, if Emeli's second week isn't too big. I can't see Emeli doing 65/75k+ in her second week (she's nowhere near as popular as she was), so fingers crossed.
They'll probably have some time off after the DW Tour before their own tour starts, which I'm gonna guess will start round about Jesy's birthday. If they do a full world tour (and I don't see why they wouldn't) they could quite easily be touring until November (with a 2/3 week break between legs) so I can't see how they would have time to work on an album next year
It does depend on the impact of the lead single as well. Black Magic definitely led to a fab position for them going into pre-orders and keeping the campaign a float.
If they release the first single as an instant grat, it'll have a lot more success with pre orders.
Would the pre orders count towards the singles' chart though?
Pre-orders of the album don't. But if people individually purchase the track, those sales will I think.
Ariana suffered from appearing at a time when they were still trying to figure out rules of the chart and things with how fast they were changing iirc
I can see them easily matching / beating 60k in the first week.
They are massive here at the moment. With the right first single and promo I see this being huge!
I've had a couple of people come into HMV asking when their new album is released and this is without any official confirmation that they are releasing, yet!
It's been 6 months. We need new LM music
Well Bruno's now releasing no November 18th.
Argh, is he expected to do huge numbers then?
Bruno will have the biggest opening week sales of the year for an album. Especially in Q4. FFS!!!!
The week after they'll have 2nd week Bruno and 1st week Weeknd... I honestly think they'd beat Weeknd, but 2nd week Bruno might be slightly out of touch!
Here's the schedule currently...
Friday 18th November
Black - Any Colour You Like
DNCE - DNCE
Donna Summer – The Ultimate Collection
The Human League – Anthology: A Very British Synthesizer Group
Justice – Woman
Little Mix – TBA
Louisa Johnson – TBA
Metallica – Hardwired...To Self Destruct
Miranda Lambert - The Weight Of These Wings
Solange – A Seat At The Table
Friday 25th November
Gillian Welch - Boots No 1: The Official Revival Bootleg
Kate Bush - Before The Dawn
Lissie – Live At Union Chapel
Pete Tong with The Heritage Orchestra – Classic House
Rumer – This Girl's In Love: A Bacharach & David Songbook
The Weeknd – Starboy
The week after doesn't seem to have any big releases atm! Just the usual nana xmas gift sort of artists.
Saw a tweet last night from an update account that said four songs have been officially registered with LM as performers. The titles are Shout Out To My Ex, F U, Seconds Minutes Hours and We Own The Night
Amazon Japan said the album will be out on the 18th of November and a limited edition with a DVD on the 23rd!
Get weird tour DVD perhaps?? Interesting move
The girls have just confirmed that the new album is called Glory Days and will be available to pre-order from tomorrow. It will be release on 18 November and the Deluxe Edition will come with the tour DVD
Britney's impact!
Love the artwork.
Love the name! But that date. I know his single is seen as under performing so far (but I imagine it'll be a huge number 1 eventually) but Bruno will slaughter everyone that week.
Ah well. Here's to another high selling number 2... hopefully!
Glad we have some sort of confirmation now.
I am gagged at this!!! So good.
Artwork is beautiful!
For the first time in a while, the standard cover is a better cover than the deluxe edition!
But I'll obvz be getting the deluxe! Lovely shot of them!
They are coming for their BRIT award.
It's weird to put an album pre-order up before we've heard any music...
Shows how big they are now - they can sell an album on name and hype alone.
There's always a chance they'll climb to #1 in the New Year when, presumably, they'll have moved onto the next single.
I think they could beat Bruno to number 1 in the UK
Little Mix probably won't get #1 album if they're releasing on the 18th November as they have Emeli Sandé and Bruno Mars standing in their way
I know the album artwork has been discussed, but it's not actually been posted, so here we go:
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cuo1KVDW8AErRlM.jpg
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Cuo3jv3WEAAE4R7.jpg
I don't actually hate the deluxe you know.
That album cover is stunning
I removed the frame in case anyone else didn't like it.
SO much better without the border!
Pre-order is up on NZ iTunes. 12 tracks standard. 15 tracks deluxe.
The designers forgot to add the shadows that the billboard's legs would create, onto the standard cover!
I really like the covers. They look great and it's different for them
The pic they have chosen for the cover is lovely, everything the graphic designer has done has made it look really bad though. What a shame.
Looking forwards to hearing this album though.
I'm really loving all the artwork I've seen so far!
It's just hit me that my top 2 albums of the year could potentially be "glorious"! *.* First Brit, now Little Mix. Bring us a pop anthem like 'Liar' and I am THERE tbh.
Ready to preorder! https://itunes.apple.com/gb/album/glory-days-deluxe-concert/id1164491324
Not gonna lie, was slightly hoping that we'd get song titles from the pre-order put up but I did think that was unlikely tbf.
The dates for Little Mix's 'The Glory Days Tour' are:
Sheffield Arena - Sat 28th October
Liverpool Echo Arena - Wed 1st November
Newcastle Arena - Sat 4th November
Glasgow The SSE Hydro - Sat 11th November
Leeds First Direct Arena - Mon 13th November
Nottingham Motorpoint Arena - Wed 15th November
Birmingham Genting Arena - Sat 18th November
Manchester Arena - Tues 21st November
London The O2 - Sat 25th November
Tickets are on sale from next Friday (21)
Amazing news today - they're not playing.
Their webstore is selling signed albums, bundles etc
I can't imagine the signed albums will be on sale for long!
No doubt the actual number of dates will be at least double that eventually. We've had so much in the last few days!
Looks very unlikely we'll get another album next year then. Most probably a re-realase to go with the tour.
They will defo release extra dates in the UK. This tour is going to be bigger than the Get Weird tour
If someone wants the make the Tour thread, go ahead!
I've ordered my signed CD/DVD. Am excited!
I ordered the signed CD/DVD too. Can't imagine they'll be there for long.
Album is #1 on iTunes pre-orders.
Ok. The hype is setting in. Are we underestimating this slightly?
Album at number 1 and 8 on iTunes UK preorder bestsellers!!
Ahead of Gaga, James A, Bruno etc. Amazing
Not entirely surprised they're above Gaga but James is getting a lot of publicity right now with his comeback and Bruno seems to be on the music channels a lot right now so I'm pleasantly surprised they're above those two
I would have been disappointed if they didn't go to #1 today on pres. I think it's all about how long they stay in the pre-orders top 3 until the album release now.
Number 5 on Amazon UK
That's number 5 on the main chart!!! It's the highest pre-order there too
Ah, I think that is what I meant. My bad
So I was wondering.. if SOTME is a moderate streaming hit, it will probably help them more on release week than LMLY did for GW right?
Thinking about it now it kind of makes sense to have an album right after the lead single - if it's good obviously

Meghan collab confirmed.
Well she's going to be shown up isn't she?!
Not a fan of Meghan tbh, but I'm not gonna let that spoil my enjoyment of the album
It's entered the amazon chart at #15
Yasssss at a LM/Meghan collab Absolutely adore both ❤️
I can't help but feel a Meghan collab is somewhat beneath them? I mean. they can do better than that.
Meghan's still very popular in the US - NO was a top 3 hit and Me Too was big on iTunes also. She's still a big name so I think this could be great! I really like Meghan too so I'm very hyped for this.
I can't wait for the new album!
Still gutted about Weird People not being a single, but oh well. Bring on "Shout Out To My Ex" I say!
(The Sunday release date is stupid though).
If Meghan is the rumoured collab after the Ariana one not going through or something I will be PISSED!!!!!
I wonder if that means they're planning on having the Meghan collab as the first instant grat?
Meghan isn't rumoured, the girls confirmed her and everyone cancelled their pre orders
Album up to 6 on US iTunes preorder.
Amazing to see how well Glory Days is doing everywhere just on pre-orders. First week sales could be massive

Let's see how high this gets after the song is released tomorrow.
Looks like the girls could have another massive hit album on their hands if it's doing this well on pre-orders before anyone has even heard the lead single
Here's hoping
There is loads of advertising for Glory Days all over Amazon UK music section - they really aren't playing this time!
so MNEK just confirmed on twitter that he produced one song on Glory Days and that it's "hawt"
Excited for this one
If it's anything like Never Forget You then it will be great
Yeah. Lets hope that it's not anything like his 'Don't Stop Me Now' cover at least!
Glory Days deluxe number 1 on Germany iTunes preorder
The album has entered the Amazon physical chart top 10 now at #9
Amazing - bodes well. Huge opening numbers I hope.
Yeah the opening numbers could be massive, should certainly emulate Get Weird and be certified in a week
I think next week we'll get our first Instant Grat!
You think? What makes you say that?
The girls are really stanning Brit this era. First 'Glory' in the album title, now a song called 'Private Show'
Charlie Puth feature though!
Maybe Power will be the DNA sequal? That's the only reason I'm devastated we didn't get a Lightning video.
Charlie collab!! So excited to hear that!
I like Charlie so I'm looking forward to hearing that. Judging by a couple of the song titles there may not be too many kids on the next tour!
I wanted the Ariana collab to be true!
Apparently, most of the songs are recovered from the LM3 that was scrapped... (People on Popjustice have worked this out by finding the registered tracks).
Interesting. Not entirely surprising given that the girls said scrapping the album was down to some tracks not really fitting rather than them not being good enough
I think it's more down to the fact they didn't fit GW rather than being bad.
Here's hoping they are good.
Didn't Jesy say she cried because it was so bad?
Well their A&R seems to be reading pop forums.

Track 5 is a pre-album release. It's showing up on the iTunes preorder with a run time of 3:11.
You Gotta Not is out on Friday as the first instant grat
Looking forward to hearing it on Friday.
Will it be on Spotify etc like a normal single would be?
Yep!
Great news!! Fan girly squealing as we speak, damn you better man up Julian. Yeh... cool.
This is #8 on the Amazon physicals chart, and #3 on iTunes pre-order chart behind two albums out in 2 days.
It is going to open with big numbers. Not just in the UK but worldwide.
Would love to know where this is on pre-order charts worldwide.
The fact it's Number 8 on the Amazon physicals chart before release bodes very well. By the way what were the opening numbers of the other albums? I can see this one being massive
DNA: 53,314
Salute: 35,281
Get Weird: 60,053
Also consider the fact the album sales have considerably dropped since they released their debut.
I predict around 80k+ for them this time
I can definitely see Glory Days beating Get Weird's opening week sales. A single certified in 2/3 weeks and an album certified in a week? Great start to the era
I think 90k+ for Glory Days. Will be interesting to see how much it has sold in preorders.
You Gotta Not is now out in NZ and Oz - I like it, it's different.
Don't think we can post links though but it's all over Twitter.
I'm gonna attempt to resist temptation until it's out here
i don't like it.
The girls are performing on CiN on album release day!
LOVED You Gotta Now. They sound so sassy on it. I think people are being incredibly harsh on it because it's the Meghan Trainor track.
But I really like it.
Same - I think it's quite fun
Meh.
It is so childish. I honestly think all their new material is really derivative and wasting the potential these girls have.
But they ain't gonna switch it up if that's whats selling.
I think it's pretty horrible, and I'm generally not opposed to Meghan Trainor at all. It just strikes me as a worse A.D.I.D.A.S, even if they're not thematically similar. Here's hoping the rest of the album is a lot stronger, because this feels very beneath them.
(It's actually got me less hyped for the album, which sort of defeats the purpose of an instant grat. Oops.)
Well, we knew the Meghan collab was on the album, so at least it's out of the way first!
I had hopes it could be as good as NO.
I haven't heard the new song yet. Really pleased to hear they're performing on Children In Need, perfect timing too
I like the sound of it to be honest, I think it suits them, to me it's very Meghan Trainor/Lily Allen collab esque.
30 seconds in and you can tell it's written by Meghan Trainor!
It's a lot more fun than I had imagined judging from everyone's reactions here. I can tell it's not gonna be one of my faves, but I like it enough! It's a nice album track. Hoping it doesn't randomly take off though and only serves it's purpose as an instant grat!
It's better than anything from Meghan's last album though (barring 'No', so yay).
Yeah, this is Meghan by numbers
I do quite like it, it seems to me like one of those tracks that are used to recover from a monster of a song or introduce a massive banger
It's nice enough but will probably be among the weakest of the album.
4th listen in and I am actually ADDICTED!
Incredibly infectious and catchy. Good luck getting this song out of your head for the next 3 months lmao! Love the bouncing production!
You Gotta Not is fantastic! It wouldn't work in a single, but I imagine it is going to be amongst the best of the album tracks. It has Meghan's 'Title' era stamp all over it, and as I've said in various places before, I adored the sound of the Title era - much more than I do Meghan's current sound.
Actually loving it now I've heard the full version. Super catchy!
I quite like You Gotta Not . I wouldn't release as a single but it's a decent album track .It also gets better the more times You play it it's A LOT better in HQ.
The way the production speeds up during Jade's verse is my favourite part of the song! Also, the middle 8 gives me 'Hair' vibes.

"You Gotta Not" is really good! I can't stop listening to it at the moment.
Really loving You Gotta Not!
'You Gotta Not' is very clunky isn't it?
I wish it didn't exist.
Are we thinking the second single will be sent to radio in December? Similarly to 1D with History?
Bruno's album is number 1 on iTunes preorder chart now.
Hopefully LM have sold enough preorders to still be ahead of him. Theyv'e been number 1 since launch really (taking away a few hours / days here and there).
He's also above them on Amazon now too
It makes it all the more exciting. He just did an X Factor performance so it doesn't surprise me really. Huge amounts of Little Mix's sales will come from their official store.
I still think they will do it though and with massive numbers.
Doesn't surprise me he's gone top of pre-orders off the back of being on XF, but the girls will already have pretty big pre-order numbers. I just hope we don't end up with a Get Weird situation where LM get overtaken with a couple of days to go
They've added the times for a load of the songs on the album on iTunes. So it'll be one of those for this week's IG. I hope we don't get them all though.
Glory Days is already back ahead of 24k on Amazon.
I'm curious to see if we will get another top 10 US album, top 5 would be amazing!
I think they could get top 10 in the US this time around.
It will be bigger than Get Weird in the States.
F.U. leaked it's a slow song
F.U. is fantastic, oh my god! Streaming link: http://www.joox.com/node/en_my/playsong?page=playsong&songid=rGQHo78NbRCA9%2BsxbkympQ%3D%3D&appshare=iphone&backend_country=th&lang=en
It is amazing - shame that it leaked!
Some Japanese streaming site released it, I've heard.
AAAAAHH THIS SO f***ING GOOD HELP
F.U is an instant grat being released on Friday
'F.U.' is brilliant! So much sass and Liam is right in that it's a very dynamic version of 'Love On The Brain' by Rihanna. My least fave of the three so far, but it's still very good!
I'm gonna wait until Friday. I've seen mixed comments about it tbh
I like it!
F.U. is absolutely stunning, one of their top tracks. So excited for this album
F.U. is way ahead of the two other tracks. Definitely my favourite of the era so far.
Kinda takes from where 'Love Me Like You' left off with the retro vibe. It's a sound that really suits them.
Ooooh, FU kind of reminds me of Love Me Like You's slow r&b sister. It has the same vibes and keeps that very vintage style
Love F U. I agree it sounds like LMLY pt2, Could see a music video picking up where LMLY left off.
Also I get slight Cry Me Out (Pixie Lott) vibes from this, is it just me?
F.U seems to be doing better than You Gotta Not already
28 in the UK
Crazy that You Gotta Not almost charted in New Zealand
First impressions of F U- absolutely love it. Pretty cool they've done a Motown style song, I'm sure Jade loved that
Yeah, F.U. is one of my all time Little Mix's favorite songs. They all sound amazing and the song is so beautiful and emotional.
Back to #1 on album pre orders!
Promising that they're ahead of Bruno, even though he recently had an XF performance and has his first instant grat available!
Good - I would love to know how much they have sold already. I think it will be a huge number.
Good sign, i would be ecstatic if they can claim in the album number 1.
Jonathan Ross will also help the album pre-order.
I hope they are interviewed too - they are so funny.
HQ just tweeted that it's THREE WEEKS (and yes they used capital letters) until Glory Days is released. Slightly awkward
Edit: they've corrected it now
F.U. is slaying me so hard *.*
More promo for release weekend:
12th November - Jonathan Ross (Performance)
-----
18th of November - Children in Need (Performance + segment)
20th of November - Sunday Brunch (Performance + interview)
They really aren't messing around this time
They're also doing Nova's Red Room in Australia
It is excellent they are going heavy on the promotion trail. Every ounce of promotion helps.
I think Europe will love them for it
Hopefully they put some good promo in when they are in the US. Would also love to see some Asia and South America promo.
New instant grat being released on Friday - Nothing else matters.
Sounds cool from the Twitter snippet.
Yay for another instant grat. The snippet sounds great
Nothing Else Matters is out there and is pretty great!
OH WOW. My favourite Instant Grat for sure. Very Carly Rae - Emotion era!
Really wouldn't mind it being a single. It'd be a hit with the girls names attached to it, unlike Carly Rae for example!
First review:
http://www.digitalspy.com/music/album-reviews/review/a813716/little-mix-new-album-2016-review-glory-days/
I love the sound of Touch, Down and Dirty, Power and Nobody Like You *.*
Nothing Else Matters is great, my favorite instant grat so far.
Album preview!
Sounds really strong to me, can't wait for next Friday!
Omg at that album sampler. Thanks Jay!
Touch
No More Sad Songs
Power
Private Show
Down & Dirty
Freak
POtentially AMAZING.
Jonjo, I don't see the Carly resemblance at all in Nothing Else Matters, it sounds like a 1D song to me! I really like it though.
The sample is great!
Touch sounds like it is going to be epic.
Really like the sound of Oops too.
I'm loving Touch, Nobody But You and Private Show especially from that, but I'm honestly intrigued by all of the tracks!! I can't wait to hear this in full
Down & Dirty
Touch
Power
Private Show
are my favorites so far
The album pre-order has fallen quite a bit on iTunes.
I know they are ahead (and have been most of the time) on Amazon. Just hope they can get number 1 with this album. It would be very well deserved.
Their digital sales for the album last year were only like 20%, so I wouldn't worry. They're a physicals juggernaut, and amazon aside, loads will have bought from their store.
I hope so
Omg Power has to be the 2nd single !!
Wouldn't mind Touch, but Power seems like a smash.
OMG at that album sampler- SO. MANY. BANGERS
Despite loving everything else about Little Mix, I always found Get Weird could have been better.
I'm shocked at the singles potential here. Power, Touch, No More Sad Songs, Oops all sound potentially big. Given that the UK tour isn't for a year, I can see them stretching this to 5 singles. Unless they do 4 and a tour-tie in re-release.
I expect them pulling 5 singles and no new album till 2018. Would love that with so many singles potential here.
Power for DNA follow up PLEASE!! Needs to be a single, but the whole album sounds incredible!
Power, Touch & Your Love scream SINGLES the most.
"Nothing Else Matters" is absolutely great. It must be a single!
Out of the snippets I've heard, "Touch", "Power", "Your Love", "Nobody Like You", "No More Sad Songs" and "Private Show" sound like they could be great.
Power sounds amazing!
Nobody Like You is going to be the Love Me Or Leave Me of this album isn't it?
Power and F.U are the only ones I'm relating to at the moment.
The snippets sound really great but tbh I haven't really taken to any of the instant grats massively
You Gotta Not is a catchy bop and a great album track but I wouldn't have released it as an instant grat personally, if I was to compare it to Get Weird, I'd rank it in the middle of the album
F.U. is nice but that's about it at the moment
Same with Nothing Else Matters
Did the album get any boost on ITunes?
#7 on Amazon
Whos the position the album is on pre orders on iTunes?
Love 'Nothing Else Matters'.
'No More Sad Songs' sounds painfully generic and trend-hopping, and I feel that's a bit beneath them.
New peak of 6 on Amazon.
And above this weeks new releases - impressive.
Yep, the pre-order is higher than new releases from Emeli Sande, Robbie Williams and Michael Buble.
We should hear Touch today.
EXCITED.
Have to say, the previews don't impress me much at this stage.
Touch bops.
It is a HIT for sure. I'm proud of them
IMO releasing half the album early is very risky, I hope it doesn't backfire on them
I did not expect the 1st verse of Touch to sound like that! Love the song, definitely single-worthy!
Nicole Scherzinger wants her 'Your Love' back
About to listen to the full version of 'Touch'.
Where can I hear it, I can't find it for the life of me
Omg this is SO good, definitely another smash!
omg Floored!!!
it kind of sounds how All In My Head (Flex) should have
'Touch' is really good but I wish the production went a bit harder.
It sounds like the production could be soooo good if it had more bass and a bit more oomph. It is just lacking a little something which is a shame as it sounds like it has potential to be one of their best singles ever.
By miles and away the best of the era though and it will do well as single 2.
Your love and FU.,are my favorites.
Shout Out To My Ex 8.5/10 - Solid bop.
You Gotta Not 6/10 - Catchy, but unforgivable lyrical content.
F.U 5/10 - Nice vocally, but totally forgettable.
Nothing Else Matters 7/10 - Cute, not groundbreaking.
Touch 9.5/10 - The wigsnatcher.
Private Show snippet 10/10 -
I have to go as far to say that this is my current new favorite Little Mix single. Wow. Smashed it! Looking forward so much for the album now!
Delete
Hearing all the comments makes me want midnight to hurry up
Album is back to #2 on pre orders, overtaking Bruno. Now 95 might pip them to #1 on iTunes this week. it doesn't matter but it's annoyed they didn't manage that exposure last year because a bloody Coldplay pre order blocked them.
They'll be number 1 to begin with I think. But yeah, Now 95 will take over after like an hour or something.
But good news though is that they'll (hopefully) have 5 entries of 'Shout Out To My Ex' next week! Single, Acoustic (if this hasn't completely fallen away by that point), Standard, Deluxe and Now (providing they're not "Album Only" of course) so hopefully a nice sales boost for the song and a potential return to number 1? Especially with the promo they have coming up, right?
Just heard 'Touch'... I like it, but I feel it could get annoying v quickly! So I'm not going to hammer it as much as I did with the other grats
Down and Dirty is dated and disappointing.
Nobody like you is...nice. Lovely vocals.
Touch is everything, still.
Absolutely love Nobody Like You
Nobody Like You is stunning
I like Down and Dirty but I think it will get boring quickly compared to the other grats.
Finally we're back!
I'm loving Nobody Like You more with each listen, the raw emotion in their voices, especially Leigh & Jesy is amazing! Not feeling Down & Dirty, but it'll grow I hope.
The only thing I dislike about Nobody Like You is the complete LACK of Jade! she gets the ad-libs at the end and that's it? In fact this whole era seems to have less Jade than usual... Although her parts in You Gotta Not and Nothing Else Matters are my faves!
But overall it's stunning. The raw emotion in Jesy's voice makes you wonder whether her and Jake's engagement ended during the recording of it!
Like Nobody Like You, not their best ballad by far, but still a great addition. And WOW! Loving Down & Dirty, really reminds me of Dark Horse or Black Widow, werk!
Jesy completely owning Nobody Like You reminds me of Leigh totally slaying the vocals on Love Or Me Leave Me
https://twitter.com/jadesglory/status/798890470336147456 <-- Power!
https://twitter.com/LittleMixBR/status/798890343513124864 <-- Private Show!
That first one doesn't sound like Power from the previews at all.
Gaaaaah Down and Dirty sounds like something from 2009, I don't know why they'd this was a good idea. It's not terrible, it's just dated.
I like the Game of Thrones shout though!
That Power clip sounds like it is mixed with the drop from Bitch I'm Madonna.
Dated, I meant. *continues listening to Touch.*
Finally got around to listening to 'Down & Dirty'... love it! Reminds me of some sort of mash-up of their own 'Lightning', 'Black Widow' and 'Do It Like A Dude'
#5 on Amazon
Just listened to Down and Dirty, love the beat
Oh my, Touch is incredible! ;o
Down and Dirty seemed pretty cool on first listen, but Touch is still taking all of my attention so I've still only heard D&D once.
Don't mind D&D - not my usual cup of tea though!
I hope they get the number 1 album this week - they have promo so that could help
Overall album is...I don't know. I like, don't love it, YET. But that's just one listen. I'm not that girl who judges an album on one listen and never goes back to it. Of the songs we'd not heard Freak and No More Sad Songs are highlights and low-lights are Oops, Your Love and Beep Beep (the latter I skipped because it was so irritating). Power will almost certainly grow on me, but I find Perrie's initial verse a bit jarring.
I find this very excellent. It's fun go to pop album and I like it!
Power is so good! Jesy's rap and MOTORBIKE. SLAY.
So here is my first listen rate:
07.5 Shout Out To My Ex
09.0 Touch (would be a 10.0 with better mixing)
08.0 F.U.
05.0 Oops (worried they'll make this a single)
04.0 You Gotta Not
01.0 Down & Dirty
06.0 Power (such a good chorus ruined by uncharacteristically terrible vocals, embarrassing "motorbike" shouts and it just being messy/loud as hell)
06.5 Your Love (lol at the way they just slowed Nicole's chorus down)
06.0 Nobody Like You
08.5 No More Sad Songs (thank god for the rise in quality)
07.0 Private Show (why is the mixing so bad on this album? so much potential there but the mixing is so demoish)
06.0 Nothing Else Matters
06.0 Beep Beep
08.0 Freak (yes, although some of the production choices are slightly strange, this one is undeniably good)
08.5 Touch (Acoustic)
I had hopes that this album would be better than 'Get Weird' which I was not here for at all and I really don't think it's any better than that. I haven't listened to 'Get Weird' properly for a good 9 months or so so I can actually remember whether I would put this below it. I just think I've got to accept that I am not really here for "teeny boppy" Little Mix with all these immature melodies and loud, brash and childish production choices. Gone are the days of having a reasonably mature album like 'Salute'. Maybe they just aren't that band anymore.
Wish them all the best and it is amazing the levels of success they are having, but I can't feel disappointed as this album just sounds like wasted artistic potential to me.
At least I got 'Touch'.
Fair enough if you don't like the album, but I don't get the mixing comments on Touch, I think MNEK's production is great on the track!
(The leak out there at the moment is V LQ in terms of production).
Can't get enough of 'Touch', really hope it's single two.
09 Shout Out To My Ex - Pop banger
10 Touch - I am drooling thinking of the video/live performances
06 F.U. - Incredible vocally, but boring
6.5 Oops - A bit cringe, but I can see it being an earworm
07 You Gotta Not - Awful lyrics but incredibly infectious.
05 Down & Dirty - I feel like this wanted to be as good as Power, but just isn't.
09 Power - Bonkers, I love the Girls Aloud-esque off the cuff lyrics. Motorbike works for me.
07 Your Love
06 Nobody Like You
10 No More Sad Songs - Beautifully uplifting.
08 Private Show
08 Nothing Else Matters
00 Beep Beep - Keep it
08 Freak
8.5 Touch (Acoustic)
As much as I want 'Touch' for the next single, a Christmassy video for 'Oops' would be perfect...
Today Show in US 15th December. Surely 2nd single coming soon.
Great to hear they're doing some US promo before the Dangerous Woman Tour
I've listened to Down & Dirty twice now and it's quite bad. I'd expected that with the snippet to be fair, but still I'd hoped for something better. By far the worst song on the album I've heard so far.
MOTORBIKE
I've found "No More Sad Songs" and "Private Show" on YouTube, and I'm loving the saxophone on the latter. So infectious!
That leaves "Oops", "Power", "Your Love" and the deluxe edition tracks which I'll hear tomorrow. But for what I've heard, with the notable exception of "Down & Dirty", everything is great.
Girls are heading to France next week + they will be on The X Factor Italy
Their most promoted era ever! Amazing promo, this will be their biggest album in Europe.
Nervous and excited about the fight between themselves and Metallica!
They should release the Touch video this week. Though I have to say they could climb to #1 the week after.
Pretty sure Metallica will be quite a bit more front loaded than Little Mix. I was asking people today at work who they think will win the battle and the general consensus seemed to be that Metallica will win the first day, but as the week progresses, Little Mix will get the edge. (These are people who have worked for HMV for 10+ years)
I think 2 performance slots + TXF should give them the edge.
Spotify have prepped a 'This is: Little Mix' playlist, they do this for big artists when they release new music, so hopefully it'll be advertised itermiddedly throughout the week to help streaming.
Banner on Spotify straight away! YEEESSSS!!
OH MY GOD POWER
Down & Dirty sounds like a Tulisa track
LISTENING NOW
I've only listened to 'You Gotta Not' and 'F.U' of the tracks they've put out so not to spoil it for myself, so HERE GOES!!!
What does the chorus of Private Show sound like?
'Power' is amazing. Tbh, I'm actually really liking this album, alot! I think it's a lot more instant than 'Get Weird' for me. But that might just be down to 'Get Weird' kinda "setting me up" for it (if you get what I mean).
'Your Love' is very cute. Love the Caribbean feel to it! 'Down & Dirty' just keeps growing on me. 'Oops' with Charlie is nice enough, but it should've been used for Charlie's re-release over their own release though, imo. It fits his sound a lot more than LM's.
I'm still pretty obsessed with You Gotta Not. Could this not work as a single?
If popjustice thinks No More Sad Songs is a good single, then they must go with another nnnn Just kidding though, I'd totally love to see it as a single. F.U. is also one of my favorites from them ever, so I wouldn't mind seeing it as a single (and performed on Royal Variety), but I'm not sure how it would work as a single?
I definitely think FU would be perfect for RV. The only thing is singing FU to the Queen....
POWER IS f***ING EVERYTHING
From the beginning with Perrie's vocals to the MOTOR BIKE BIKE BIKE BIKE
Help me.
If this isn't a single then something is wrong. Sorry, fangirling commencing MAJORLY right now, I haven't anticipated an album so much in a while, I swear.
'No More Sad Songs' would make a great single, for sure! I'd probably do the singles run like thissss...
01. Shout Out To My Ex
02. Touch feat. Ariana
03. Power
04. No More Sad Songs (BGT/Summer)
05. Nobody Like You (X Factor/End Autumn single)
First full listen rate:
11 Shout Out To My Ex (still the album highlight, that f***ing chorus *.*)
10 Touch (what a tune, this is gonna be a massive hit! It puts me in mind of what the follow up to Work From Home should've been for 5H)
09.5 F.U. (the vocals *.*)
08 Oops (I feel like this will be the single that I end up loving when they release it, but it's not my fave)
08 You Gotta Not (this has really grown on me, it's very fun but you can definitely Meghan wrote it!)
08.5 Down & Dirty (this is another grower, it's a bit basic but I am sucker for a bop like this)
10 Power (this is so Girls Aloud with attitude tackling Britney's Liar *.* MOTORBIKE MOTORBIKE)
06 Your Love (the definite low of the album, it's not horrendous it's just lacking a real chorus and doesn't go anywhere really, it just really pales especially coming after the dynamic punch of Power!)
09Nobody Like You (Love Me Or Leave Me teas but of course nowhere near as iconic)
10 No More Sad Songs (BOPPPPPPPP THIS HAS TO BE A SINGLE)
10 Private Show (omg J-Lo or Christina Milian would so release this in 2002, but it has that Little Mix mark in the powerful chorus and I am living for both of those things)
08.5 Nothing Else Matters (the chorus gives me Change Your Life teas, again a grower from when it was released as a grat)
07 Beep Beep (I think I will end up hating this but it's kind of "wtf is this oh well bop" for me atm )
07 Freak (what on earth are the dying Wall-E noises littered throughout )
Incredible album but I expected nothing less <3 Touch HAS to the second single then I'd have No More Sad Songs and Power definitely. Power may not work but it's so f***ing good. I'd love Private Show to get the treatment too, I think they'll probably go to 5 singles to coincide with the tour but I think maybe re-release.
Tbh, Touch, Power, Private Show & NMSS are the best single choices.
To me I feel like I spoiled the album too much because of hearing so many songs and the previews, however I feel this album is a great addition to their discography.
Shout Out To My Ex - Certified smash.
Touch - Upcoming certified smash.
F.U. - Beautiful and sassy.
Oops is nice! I still like it, but nothing amazing.
You Gotta Not is so catchy I haven't had it out of my head since I first heard it.
Down & Dirty as I always said is the love child of Dark Horse and Black Widow... the Little Mix version, and I love it.
POWER IS THE ONE!! Very K-Pop as well. Party!
I am surprised at Your Love being such a great track! The verses are better than the chorus.
Nobody Like You is a great Little Mix ballad, whilst definitely not their best, still beautiful and amazing. (As always)
No More Sad Songs is fighting for my favorite for best album track I think. Incredible!
Private Show, Yassss How You Doin'? point 2 times a million. Weeerrrk.
Nothing Else Matters - This just hit me the other day, definitely a sound I am happy they tried.
Beep Beep - She doesn't even go here! I can handle it. Love Jesy's verse, but that chorus is... well... let's stay positive.
Freak is a song I feel like I've heard somewhere before and I "kinda" like it. Ish.
Touch (Acoustic) makes me even more glad it will be next single.
#1 and #9 on UK iTunes.
#1 on iTunes!
(And 9)
Get weird peaked at #2
Tbh. This album went to Ok to amazing for me, I don't care for 2 tracks but everything else works for me for some reason, I'm loving it more with each listen, CMON #1.
Brilliant to see them #1 and #9 on iTunes already
I really hope they pull #1 album out the bag this week, Will be close but I think they can do it.
Omg. The 'Touch' acoustic... GAHHHH. SO beautiful <3
Touch's acoustic version is only affirming my love even more and making it rival SOTME tbh
Easy contender for album of the year already, incredible!!
Think the 3 instant grats are probably my 3 least favourite on the album at this current time!
11.0 Shout Out To My Ex- Still incredible
10.0 'Touch' - Yh this is also slaying me so bloody much
07 'F.U.' - Solid but a bit dull
10.0 'Oops' (feat. Charlie Puth) - Unsurprisingly love this and Charlie's addition!
08.0 'You Gotta Not' - Good album track
08.0 'Down & Dirty' - Pretty good
10.0 'Power' - What an anthem, definite highlight!
08.0 'Your Love'- Really nice and relaxing!
10.0 'Nobody Like You' - Utterly stunning, reminds me a lot of Love Me Or Leave Me
10.0 'No More Sad Songs' - This also slays so much, wow!
10.0 'Private Show' - omfg this is so incredible and rly agree with all the comparisons!
07.0 'Nothing Else Matters' - Nice but a bit dull
10.0 'Beep Beep' - Massive anthem!
08.0 'Freak' - Bit of a jam
08.5 Touch (Acoustic) - So strong also!
So so impressed!!
I love it - such a cool album.
Honestly love this album, Touch and No More Sad Songs are sticking out as my favourite two at the moment
I've finished the album and my existence has been slayed. Might be a bit early to say perhaps but their best album to date for me, not a single song I wouldn't wanna go back to even if it does have weaker moments (Your Love, Down and Dirty being the two that stick to mind).
#3 on Amazon, Metallica and Bruno still stuck at #6 & #7
Now I am feeling the single campaign should be:
SOTME
Touch
Power (With that awesome music video with the ladies riding motorbikes just as the song promises... duh.)
No More Sad Songs
They're going to be doing the Today Show in America again on the 15th Dec!
I think we all know Oops will be a single don't we? Would Power work on the radio though? The beginning is very loud... The ICONIC video potential though.
I'd be quite excited to see them releasing something as bold, brash and risky as Power though. Nothing wrong with stepping out of the safe zone, I think it'd go down pretty well, I mean it was an instant reaction for me.
same here, but I have to say NMSS is absolutely fantastic, they MUST release it as a single.
Touch makes me want to both dance and cry all night with its respective versions, what a song.
They talked about wanting to top Get Weird and they definitely did that, what an album! With the reaction it's already getting I'd be amazed if Power isn't a single
This album is mostly terrible
I like Touch, Power and No More Sad Songs and that's it.
Amazing: Shout Out To My Ex, Touch, F.U., Your Love, No More Sad Songs
Great: You Gotta Not (not the lyrics though), Power, Private Show, Beep Beep
Good: Nobody Like You, Nothing Else Matters, Freak
Eh: Oops
Awful: Down & Dirty
As an album it is a bit weird, but I think it's a great collection of songs.
I actually love 'Oops'. I can see it working as a Christmas remix.
Just been to buy my copy at the HMV in Liverpool One, and as well as Glory Days being opposite you when you walk in from both entrances, they were playing the album, as well as: DNA, Salute and Get Weird being on a special promotion 2 for £10! So a very good start to the release week!
I think 'Freak' is my least favourite however, Leigh's aggressive middle 8 is one of the absolute highlights of the album! *.*
My faves on Glory Days are Touch, Power, Nobody Like You, Private Show and Nothing Else Matters. Tbh even the songs I wasn't sure of when I first heard them sound better in the context of the whole album
Freak would be much better if it didn't have the random dying Wall-E noises
my faves
- Shout out to my Ex
- Touch (both version)
- Oops
- Power
- No More Sad Songs
- Freak
bolded ones deserve single treatment.
This is already their best album for me Joining Girls Aloud and One Direction in peaking on album 4 quality-wise??
10.0 Shout Out to My Ex
11.0 Touch (possibly premature to say I prefer this to SOTME but it is literally slaying me from every angle right now)
08.5 F.U.
10.0 Oops (feat. Charlie Puth)
09.5 You Gotta Not
07.5 Down & Dirty
09.0 Power
06.5 Your Love
07.0 Nobody Like You
09.5 No More Sad Songs
09.0 Private Show
07.5 Nothing Else Matters
05.0 Beep Beep
07.0 Freak (feel like this doesn't quite reach its potential?)
Had my CD delivered by Amazon this morning and I've listened to the full album once. I think it's better than Get Weird (especially in terms of the production) and possibly DNA too. I found the second half of the album more enjoyable than the first half.
10.0 'Shout Out To My Ex'
11,0 'Touch'
08.0 'F.U.'
08.5 'Oops' (feat. Charlie Puth)
08.0 'You Gotta Not'

07.5 'Your Love'
09.0 'Nobody Like You'
10.0 'No More Sad Songs'
09.0 'Private Show'
09.0 'Nothing Else Matters'
Not a fan of the Deluxe tracks sadly'
That's What I call music is now #1 on UK itunes.Damn!!
Calling out for some Beep Beep love.
10 Shout Out To My Ex
10 Touch
09 F.U.
07.5 Oops
09.5 You Gotta Not
01.5 Down & Dirty
09 Power
08.5 Your Love
10 Nobody Like You
09.5 No More Sad Songs
10 Private Show
11 Nothing Else Matters
06.5 Beep Beep
07.5 Freak
07 Touch (Acoustic)
I might get the standard actually. The deluxe tracks aren't that good, and to end the album on Nothing Else Matters is far more euphoric.
I agree with what was said about 'Touch' re: the mixing and production, it sounds unfinished.
There was potential there as well.
Got the Deluxe Edition physical CD today, can't wait to watch the tour DVD
They were on now to surprise the children, it was very cute!
'Beep Beep' is growing on me! It's far too infectious and fun to just completely ignore it!
Beep Beep will go off live, as will Power.
Ok. Perrie's video of her dancing and miming along to 'Power' is actually slaying me. It would 100% work as a single, I think they'd make it work, just like they did with 'Hair' and 'How Ya Doin'?' tbh.
FFS. 18.11.2016 is going down as the single greatest day of the year for me!!!! My faves knocking me down just as I recover again!!!!!!
I really want them to squeeze 5 singles from this.
I think it's going to be SOTME > Touch > Oops firstly. I'm not a big fan of Oops, but I can see why it'd do well as a single.
But I want No More Sad Songs and Power both as singles. Firstly, I think the former could be a massive hit for them, it has the euphoric boppy charm of Call The Shots. And for the latter, power I think it would make a great 5th single, becuase it's a more risky single and wouldn't matter about underperforming as much at the back of the campaign. I selfishly want it as a single because a video and TV performances would be AMAZING. So.... SOTME > Touch > Oops > No More Sad Songs > Power. They've never had this much singles potential on an album before!
Praying Mint Royale brings good news tomorrow! (With sales)
Hmmm, streams on Spotify show that most people streamed Oops and Power, probably because it's earlier on the album as Freak and Beep Beep are the least. Still they have less numbers than Bruno & Metallica
Hope they perform something new on Brunch, this performance didn't do much.
Number 1 in mids, selling 25% more than Metallica!
Amazing!
Also selling faster than Olly Murs did last week. Really hope they keep this going and hold on
Hold on LM
Some info from Minty:
Someone asked if Little Mix had done over 25k, and he said yes. Though it's not clear how much more. Could be 15k more, could be 2k more.
Bruno is miles behind apparently.
I reckon they will sell around 80k this week.
Would have loved over 100k but I'm not sure.
Will sell at least 400k by Christmas though
If Bruno is miles behind its going to be out of Metallica & Little Mix, Looking forward to Monday to see how big there lead is and stuff will know by then if they will be able to hold on. I think they will do it though I see Metallica being more frontloaded than little mix to be honest.
Little Mix are currently on Radio 2 doing interview and "No More Sad Songs" from the album was given a play.
I think Power is already in my top 3 LM tracks ever (and its quickly chasing Move!), I literally haven't listened to anything else since yesterday 😂
Oops also got a play on Radio 2 before the interview (I miss that part just seen it on Digital Spy) so Oops and No More Sad Songs and interview.
Am I the only one who thinks you can really tell they rushed this album? I mean, it's not bad or anything but still.
I get it though, they wanted to keep momentum and they had serious time constraints... I'm amazed they managed to fit it in with the whirlwind year they had.
Like with Salute and Get Weird, you can tell so much more effort went into those.
I think this has more big moments.
It's a great collection of songs - there's no real sound they are going for though. It will please quite a few different people due to the different sounding songs.
I think it's too early to compare to Get Weird but I think I will prefer this in time. The only real dud on this is Your Love, whereas on Get Weird I can take or leave 3 or 4 of the tracks. Not even Touch or SOTME or Power can touch Black Magic and Secret Love Song though, but then they're probably my top 2 Little Mix songs <3
I think "Glory Days" is their best album so far. There is no doubt it had to be done rather quickly while promoting and touring "Get Weird", but it all can be done when you are the priority for your label and management. The girls also had some luck with collaborators, songs that were submitted to them and they had loads of inspiration themselves. When all that clicks, you can make a great album in a short period of time. If nothing really clicks, you can work on an album for a long time and still end up with mediocre product.
Apparently Charlie has confirmed that Oops will be a single in an interview with Fan2 in France. I'm excited
'Your Love' is hitting me pretty strongly atm. Really liking how mellow it is for a Reggae-infused pop song!
I agree with the feeling that it feels a bit rushed and all over the place, but there are a few strong tracks amongst the collection. These mainly include Shout Out, Oops, Touch, Your Love and most importantly No More Sad Songs which is surely the biggest smash on the album aside from the first 2 tracks. I'm not sure it's really "tropical house" either, as it is basically the exact same as Don't Let Me Down in places and I wouldn't have called that tropical house.
'Nothing Else Matters' is a big standout for me, but it sounds like whoever is behind it couldn't spend more time writing better lyrics (which is what I mean when it sounds rushed, with a lot of songs it sounds like they were written in 5 minutes or on others they couldn't be bothered to polish the production properly).
No More Sad Songs, Power, Touch and FU are the only singles I'd want
- Touch
- Oops
- No More Sad Songs
- Power
we can all agree on these 4 songs being singles.
I really want a 5th single, even if it flops and let's face it - LM are huge now, so any single will reach top 40 even in the worst case scenario.
Oops hit me tonight, I like it!
Touch and Power certainly seem to be the most popular choices for singles
One of my best friends is a DJ and he had all of his equipment set up for a house party the other night and I put Power on and everyone was like "What is this? I love it!" So Power would definitely be a good choice.
43k sold in one day.
This is hard to believe! Is it really true?
That's unbelievable! So they will have Silver by the end of today, how many needed for an album to go Gold? 100k right?
57k now
Silver TODAY!
Amazing sales for Little Mix really hoping they can past 100k this week that would be incredible for them!
