By Rob Copsey
Since beating the odds to be crowned winners of The X Factor in 2011, Little Mix have tirelessly turned out hit records and now rank highly among the UK's great girlbands of all time.

In seven years, Jesy, Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie have amassed 12.7 million combined sales across their 20 Top 40 singles, including an eye-watering 774 million audio streams. View Little Mix's full Official Charts history here.

Four of the group's singles have reached Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, but are they their four biggest overall? Here's how they stack up.

Cannonball
Official Chart Peak: Number 1
Released: 2011
Combined sales: 519,000

The group's lowest selling Number 1 is their X Factor winner's single - a cover of Damien Rice's folk song Cannonball. Placing 12th in their all-time Top 20, it's a song Little Mix rarely acknowledge these days, but knowing that Simon Cowell clearly never even considered them show champions when selecting the winner's single makes it slightly more palatable.


Little Mix with their Official Number 1 Single Award for Wings

Wings
Official Chart peak: Number 1
Released: 2012
Combined sales: 716,000

Little Mix's first single proper was Wings; a life-affirming banger encouraging everyone to live their best life. It spent a week at Number 1 and has aged remarkably well, placing seventh on their Top 20 with 17.5 million streams logged to date, despite being released two years before streaming records began.

Move
Official Chart Peak: Number 3
Released: 2013
Combined sales: 596,000

It may be their lowest charting album lead single (heading up their second collection Salute), but Move is one of their most acclaimed, mostly for its killer harmonies and wonky structure. It places 11th on their Top 20 chart.



Secret Love Song
Official Chart Peak: Number 6
Released: 2015
Combined sales: 916,000

Little Mix's biggest ballad ranks at Number 5 in their Top 20, close to one million combined sales. The collaboration with Jason Derulo - who co-wrote the song - was apparently inspired by the group's Radio 1 Live Lounge cover of his single Want To Want Me.

Touch
Official Chart Peak: Number 4
Released: 2016
Combined sales: 1.25 million

Despite missing the top spot, Touch is one of Little Mix's most successful singles; the MNEK-produced track spent ten weeks in the Top 10, six of which were spent stuck at Number 4. It narrowly misses out on being their most streamed song, with a massive 101.3 million plays to date.


Little Mix with their Official Number 1 Single Award for Shout Out To my Ex

Shout Out To My Ex
Official Chart Peak: Number 1
Released: 2016
Combined sales: 1.4 million

This kiss-off anthem - released a few months after Perrie's split from Zayn Malik, charged straight in at Number 1 and spent three weeks there, shifting 95,000 in it's opening week. It was also the only chart-topping single that year with a female lead - Girl Power!

I know it was massive, but it pains me that SOTME is their #1. It's such a supremely annoying song and they have many (most) which are waaaay superior.

Also, as if 'Move' isn't in their top 10. cry.gif That is an injustice.

'Love Me Like You' is way too low in that list for my liking.

The right top 3 in my opinion and could’ve been in any order.

Move, DNA and Salute would be in my personal top 10 over No More Sad Songs, Reggateon Lento and Hair.

But no huge shocks.

Woman Like Me will probably move right up that list maybe up to 7th place?

Huuuuge impact on the charts over the last 7 years. It's crazy just how big the numbers actually are. I know sales are all over the place with streaming numbers etc.. but, the cultural impact they've had cannot be denied. 😍

The order of this list is so wrong in so many ways. I actually really like their discog for the most part (probably moreso than any other girlgroup!) but I hate 3 of that top 4, and their 2 best songs aren't even in the top 10. Why did 'Move' have to be their least successful lead single cry.gif as if its sales are lower than 'No More Sad Songs' and 'Love Me Like You'...

'Power' closing in on a million is incredible for a 4th single.

Amazing to see 'Move' finally edging towards Platinum too (and DNA nearing Gold) -- both are long overdue!

They are surely the only reality TV show winner not to have their coronation single in their top 10 sellers!

I'm not sure, would A Moment Like This have been overtaken by 10 of her other singles in the US, it was a big selling No.1 there wasn't it? I guess it may well have been, she's had a major career.

Probably because like this list newer stuff will be skewed towards because of the ease of downloads and now streaming.

So is Word Up the only Top 40 single not to make this Top 20?

Black magic is my favourite but don’t like their new song very much or recent material. Think they will struggle with the new album in comparison to the success of their last few.

Little Mix's Top 20 biggest singles on the Official Chart
04 January 2021 | By Rob Copsey

Since beating the odds to be crowned winners of The X Factor in 2011, Little Mix have tirelessly turned out hit records and now rank among the UK's great girlbands of all time.

Potentially on course for their fifth Number 1 single with Sweet Melody this Friday, Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie have amassed 18.9 million chart sales across their 27 Top 40 singles, as well as 3.4 million album chart sales. View Little Mix's full Official Charts history here.

Four of the group's singles have already reached Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, but are they their four biggest overall? Here's how they stack up.

Cannonball
Official Chart Peak: Number 1
Released: 2011
Combined sales: 548,000

The group's lowest selling Number 1 is their X Factor winner's single - a cover of Damien Rice's Cannonball, which was a Top 40 hit for the folk musician in 2003. Placing 15th in their all-time Top 20, it's a song Little Mix rarely acknowledge these days, but knowing that Simon Cowell probably didn't even considered them show champions when selecting the winner's single makes it slightly more palatable.

Wings
Official Chart peak: Number 1
Released: 2012
Combined sales: 893,000

Little Mix's first single proper was a life-affirming banger encouraging everyone to live their best life. It spent a week at Number 1 and has aged remarkably well, placing eighth on their Top 20 with 40.7 million streams logged to date, despite being released two years before streaming records began.

Move
Official Chart Peak: Number 3
Released: 2013
Combined sales: 684,000

It may be their lowest charting album lead single (heading up their second record Salute), but Move is one of their most acclaimed, mostly for its killer harmonies and wonky structure. It places 12th on their Top 20 chart.

Hair
Official Chart Peak: Number 11
Released: 2015
Combined sales: 870,000

Hair is the group's biggest single to miss the Top 10, and in terms of chart sales, outperforms some of their higher charting songs including Salute, DNA and Word Up. Hair was first released as a teaser track ahead of their Get Weird album, before being upgraded to single status in 2016 with a new mix featuring Sean Paul.

Secret Love Song
Official Chart Peak: Number 6
Released: 2015
Combined sales: 1.23 million

Little Mix's biggest ballad ranks at Number 5 in their Top 20, topping one million chart sales. The collaboration with Jason Derulo - who co-wrote the song - was apparently inspired by the group's Radio 1 Live Lounge cover of his single Want To Want Me.

Touch
Official Chart Peak: Number 4
Released: 2016
Combined sales: 1.53 million

Despite missing the top spot, Touch is one of Little Mix's most successful singles. The MNEK-produced track spent ten weeks in the Top 10, six of which were spent stuck at Number 4. It narrowly misses out on being their most streamed song, with a massive 141 million plays to date.

Shout Out To My Ex
Official Chart Peak: Number 1
Released: 2016
Combined sales: 1.83 million

This kiss-off anthem - released a few months after Perrie's split from Zayn Malik - charged straight in at Number 1 and spent three weeks there, shifting 95,000 chart sales in it's opening week. It was also the only chart-topping single that year with a female lead - Girl Power indeed!
