BuzzJack Music Forum _ Little Mix _ 9 Years • A Celebration

Posted by: Jonjoliday 21st August 2020, 08:43 PM



On the 19th of this month, the girls celebrated an unprecedented pop group/girl group milestone... they reached 9 years together as a group. No break up. No member change. No "hiatus" in between. 9 straight years of success.

What have been your favourite moments? Either personally (going to see them live etc) and/or just being in awe of them as performers or doing something.

---

I will also be using this thread to host a 9 Years Of Hits, listening session this Sunday, 23rd August @ 8pm to celebrate the girls achievements and just to get a good vibe going in this thread/to keep the celebration going!

I will be using this Spotify playlist (if anyone uses Apple Music and could create a playlist like this one, that'd be thoroughly appreciated!)



---

Hope to see you there, but in the meantime, use this thread to celebrate their 9 years together cheer.gif

Great idea!

Looking forward to this

What I find seriously interesting about Little Mix is that they peaked commercially with their fourth album. The fact they came from a reality show where typically most contestants have one huge debut album and then it's downhill (Leona, JLS, Alexandra etc) makes it even more impressive.

Like...they were five years into their career and already had a ton of hits before Shout Out To My Ex even happened. From October 2016 to Reggeaton Lento the following autumn they were HUGE and I have such fond memories of blasting all their singles and hearing them on the radio/tv channels everywhere for that year.

Obviously they're still having hits and doing well but man, the Glory Days era was just amazing to watch. They even performed at One Love Manchester with Ariana Grande, Justin Bieber and Katy Perry that's how f***ing big of a deal they were in the UK.

The listening session is happening tonight! Hope to see some members join in 😁

Also, some more stories on Little Mix and their impact on you/pop culture are very welcomed. wub.gif

I'll write some when I get time.

I'll try to join this tonight.

I think their most iconic moment for me would have to be when they performed Touch on The X Factor. It was just a perfect performance from the amazing vocals at the start to the epic dance break. Hopefully we will get to see more great performances like this when The Search starts.

Ya my thoughts they aswell, they really did progress with each album and built up their success. They were initially very successful but maybe not as successful as some before them but in complete opposite they got bigger as they moved on where previous winners saw their success dwindle with each release. They really exploded with glory days and it's great they will be still going strong for their 10th anniversary which is a rarity for acts coming from x factor. Even better there are no signs of a split and I really hope they continue to stay together.

Oh no! Aha. Gahhh. I didn't realise football was so popular on Buzzjack, ngl laugh.gif

I think we'll still continue with it though sad.gif I can host another mid-week if there was more interest aha biggrin.gif

The song that really kicked their careers off! I love how proud the girls are of this song. Every time I hear it, I think it sounds dated, but I also think it sounds pretty fresh! Lol.

It's a bop, they've just out done it several times since!

Posted by: Frenchie 23rd August 2020, 07:06 PM

Wings is great and worked really well as their first single. It's great how they still love performing it live also.

Posted by: Anth 23rd August 2020, 07:07 PM

I have a soft spot for this song. It reminds me of a very early 'Nothing Else Matters'/'The Cure'. It gives me that stadium ready pop anthem.

I think Perrie's ad-libs on the chorus should all have been saved for the final chorus though!

Posted by: Anth 23rd August 2020, 07:13 PM

Change Your Life is a cute lil song... don't listen to this one that much though

Posted by: Jonjoliday 23rd August 2020, 07:16 PM

A song I always hated because I feel that it took the spot of being a single over something more deserving like 'Red Planet', 'Madhouse', 'Always Be Together' (although that song after CYL woulda been a disaster - too similar). But the single mix is so much better and packs a punch that the album version lacks for me.

Agree 100% on this, the album version is very lacklustre, the single mix brings soo much more energy to the song

Still don't rate this song. It's definitely better live though. The final chorus goes OFF. I still think they should've just had the video burst into colours with CGI grass and flowers bursting through as Leigh hits her note!

I like this in a cheap, throwaway, fun cover kinda way.

The video is SO good.

I'm just annoyed it took the spot of being a single to something that could have benefitted the album more. sad.gif

01. Move
02. Towers

Little Me, Move and Word Up never really did it for me as singles. Salute on the other hand is deffo one of my faves.

Posted by: Jonjoliday 23rd August 2020, 07:30 PM

OMG this single mix is a MESS :') I should have just used the album version lmao!

WHAT A SONG THOUGH.

So anthemic and empowering! Always incredible on tour too!

Posted by: Jonjoliday 23rd August 2020, 07:31 PM

I'm so happy this was a big success for them! I was so worried about it coming after Word Up!

Posted by: kye 23rd August 2020, 07:31 PM

imagine having the salute album + releasing 'little me' + doing a cover of 'word up' when you have the likes of 'competition' 'towers' + 'a different beat' sitting right there!

The BGT performance really turned things around for them I think, remember watching with my family and we were all blown away!

I love what they did with this for the LM5 tour, the choreography was fire!

To me Salute was the end of phase 1 of Little Mix

Posted by: Jonjoliday 23rd August 2020, 07:34 PM

The song that I (and many other Mixers) will be TRULY grateful for.

A massive pop banger and the video... Incredible.

much prefer Secret Love Song part 2

Posted by: Jonjoliday 23rd August 2020, 07:44 PM

Another song that I wasn't best pleased at being announced a single, but fortunately the single remix, yet again, elevates this so much for me and the video certainly helped too! Such a fun and cheeky song! The video is so good. Clearly done on a budget, but it was done so SO well.

Posted by: Frenchie 23rd August 2020, 07:45 PM

Secret Love Song is the best single from this era for me, with Love Me Like You a close second. (Mainly cause I spam the Christmas remix in December laugh.gif ).

Black Magic and Hair are on the slightly too cheesy pop side for my taste

Posted by: Jonjoliday 23rd August 2020, 07:46 PM

Another incredibly infectious, joyous pop banger!

The chorus really GOES OFF!

I loved the release strategy of this, just because it showed how much faith Syco had in them to be able to release on a Sunday evening after being given a prime time performance slot on the X Factor. The performance was incredible too (obvz lol x)

What an almighty club banger. This was the first song of theirs where I knew "the locals" would lap them up in the clubs etc.. and they'd be "cool" to like.

Still goes OFF!

I remember really not being a fan of NMSS when it first came out and it took me a month or so to appreciate what a bop it truly is and its probably in my top 3 songs by them now laugh.gif

Posted by: Jonjoliday 23rd August 2020, 07:56 PM

That peak for their best ever song really hurts! But it's ok, the total sales for this are big enough for us to overlook that!

WHAT A SONG. Just perfect.

Glory Days really does have one of the greatest singles runs of ALL TIME, right? Bop after Bop after Bop after Bop after Bop.

(But yeah this is my favourite LM song. I love either version, but I tend to listen to the single mix more coz I love MGKs rap)

I love how powerful the vocals are in Power laugh.gif

I'm still gutted about the cancelled BGT performance, but it was for a worthwhile cause!

Posted by: Jonjoliday 23rd August 2020, 08:16 PM

I honestly don't mind that this was a single... however, they really should have just stuck with 'Strip' as it charted in the album week... and focussed on that and then maybe move onto this.

The label politics really screwed up what could have been a great singles campaign. sad.gif WLM > Strip > Wasabi > TAU

But I think I would've gone:

01. WLM
02. The Cure > Winter - Album sales <
03. Strip
04. Wasabi > Pushed as it gained traction on Tik Tok <

I try not to think about how much Wasabi would have smashed as a single, the potential it had

I'm glad they finally made a Christmas track, although kinda wished it was a little more upbeat.

Hopefully it'll get some playlisting this year and possibly chart.

LMAO.

I love this. It's so cute. Especially now that I've gotten over the fact that it wasn't quite the 'Santa Tell Me'/'All I Want For Christmas Is You'/'Underneath The Tree'/'One More Sleep' uptempo type smash it should've been.

This might already be my fave lead single from them. Maybe just due to the amazingness of the final chorus.

What a return to form this song is. Absolutely fantastic! I'm so, SO happy it went on to be a huge hit for them. The 80's synth pop sound really suits their style! I feel like this is 'Nothing Else Matters'/'The Cure' but more 80's.

Incredibly fun, joyous and I can't help but mimic the Tik Tok dance *eyes*

Also, I still don't get what's so bad about the video??

It's SO well done!

i really hope this can re peak once the video comes outs, top 15 is all i want!

Posted by: Jonjoliday 23rd August 2020, 08:27 PM

...and we're BANG up to date with this bop!

That bassline during Jade's pre-chorus takes my breath away every TIME. Gorgeous!

Excited for the video and I'm very grateful we've received a performance of this! wub.gif

Posted by: Frenchie 23rd August 2020, 08:27 PM

A summer bop! I wasn't 100% sure about this at first but its grown on me massively over the weeks. Although it'd be nice to see a video at some point laugh.gif

Ngl tho... the weather really does, GENUINELY, emphasise this song so much more. It's so, SO lush during a warm sunny day wub.gif

Thank you for taking part and commenting along with me! I've really enjoyed it and it's been such a pleasure to celebrate their 9 years as a group, doing something like this! wub.gif

It was an awfully timed week to hit ACR LMAO! (It was the week where the top 40 was littered with Christmas songs, so tie that into the fact it hit ACR... drama.gif A MESS)

I enjoyed reading through this thread and seeing the whole journey! They've done remarkably well to last the distance for a girl band.

Also they really "bounced back" quite well with 'Break Up Song' didn't they?
