Why is it still climbing? ohmy.gif I definitely thought it was over for this single when I saw it fell to like #22 or something before Alan Carr got it back all the way up to the whopping #20. So I gave up on following it. Very pleased it's getting near to the top 10 again, but it's performance of yo-yoing near there is reminding me of 'Change Your Life' laugh.gif

But yeah! 4 top 20 singles from one album in this day and age (although 'How Ya Doin?' had a different, single mix so it was easier) is fantastic, especially for Little Mix, who need to prove more than any other normal girl group. (I feel). They have to be successful, due to being X factor winners, so there's a lot of pressure on them and they got passed the first album ordeal. If they manage to find their sound now ('Wings' obviously worked best for them) and stick with that sound for album 2, then they're going to have no trouble in getting the second album to do just as well, I think.

Yeah I feel they will need to evolve their sound for the second album though as we've already had Wings. I agree it was successful for them though

I loved DNA though wub.gif

They've been promoting How Ya Doin everywhere, that explains why it's climbed so much! They've done Mtv, Alan Carr, Sunday Brunch, Lorraine, Daybreak within the past week.

I'm re-listening to their entire back catalogue and after not listening to this song for a while (due to it always being one of my least fave singles - still bop to it but never played out of choice) I actually have to say that I was WRONG and the single mix (the album version is still dull af) is really, very good!

I can't believe it's not Silver yet! This always had some of my favourite performances.

Yeah, it's kind of wild that it's not silver. It was a decent, cute little hit at the time. Similar to Think About Us.

I actually really enjoy this song, it's a nice early 90s throwback and I find myself regularly quoting the chorus. laugh.gif

I think at the time I was peeved it was released in place of 'Red Planet', but I'm over that now.

Yeah 'Red Planet' was a missed oppourtunity. However, I feel like the girls really love this one and you can wholeheartedly tell that by watching their live performances of it. They really excel in delivering it live.

I'd have loved a 'Madhouse' release too, but that was probs too early in their career to take a risk like that!

I would have loved that, would have been the perfect opportunity to continue from the DNA video too! DNA > Madhouse > Lightning story line.
