Excited!

Posted by: legendsglory 25th December 2019, 02:16 PM

They have explained multiple times now that 2020 will be "huge" for them, i really hope it works out for them tbh

Posted by: Defaze 27th December 2019, 06:56 PM

Hype. *.*

They definitely seem to have a fire in their bellies this time around, which is amazing to see six albums deep. I really hope they manage to turn things around. Another 'Black Magic' moment please girls.

Posted by: *Tim 28th December 2019, 04:58 PM

I hope they used their time to gather themselves and gear up for an all out era. Worldwide success is going to be out of the question, but I hope they at least slay the hell out of Australia and the UK

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 28th December 2019, 05:09 PM

They need to nail the new album and another black magic would be great. I really hope they can improve on sales from lm5.

Posted by: M477h3w 6th January 2020, 06:37 PM

Excited for this

Posted by: Jade 6th January 2020, 06:38 PM

LM5 ended up being my favourite album of 2018 so I look forward to this!

Posted by: Jonjo 6th January 2020, 07:16 PM

I really want them to work with some mega producers. I'm still DYING for a Max Martin collab They're perfect for his style of pop

Posted by: Defaze 6th January 2020, 07:24 PM

I know it gets a bit of a bad rap on here, but LM5 was such a serve. The only tracks I'm not massively enamoured by are 'Told You So' and 'Strip', and even those are perfectly serviceable album tracks. Without a doubt my favourite album of theirs. Even if they do choose to lean more into pop for LM6, then I hope the quality remains as high.

Posted by: Jonjo 14th January 2020, 01:22 AM

They've removed a pinned tweet and their bios from Twitter & Insta... announcement incoming??

Gaaahhhh.

Posted by: Frenchie 14th January 2020, 06:48 AM

They replied to a comment on their latest Instagram post asking if the album is coming soon saying ‘maybeeee’! I think it would be beneficial if they switched up from the usual November releases. Especially if they have the opportunity to perform new songs on their new show.

Posted by: Jack 14th January 2020, 07:49 AM

I think a Summer release could be a good move! Really hope we get another Touch or Move style bop

Posted by: Jordan Lee 14th January 2020, 03:24 PM

I can see them getting another #1 debut tbh with a non Q4 release.

If they release around the time Ariana released sweetener I think it could be a real success.

I’m hoping this era we get two singles before the album release though rather than just one.

Posted by: Mateja 14th January 2020, 03:42 PM

2 singles before the album release isn't enough anymore. Once the album is released, the era is done as far as releasing singles.

Posted by: Defaze 14th January 2020, 09:53 PM

*.*

Honestly wasn't expecting anything for another 3 months or so. Not a bad idea to release soon though, with the charts being relatively stagnant.


Drawn out campaigns are an awful idea as well though. Halsey failing to capitalise on 'Without You' and instead releasing the album after a string of flops springs to mind. Ditto with Dua's first album and it dropping after 'Lost In Your Light', rather than when she had three simultaneous top 20 hits (although thankfully 'New Rules' salvaged the campaign). Plus, in fairness, Little Mix's post-album singles have always done exceptionally well until TAU came along.

Posted by: legendsglory 15th January 2020, 05:35 PM

They have a Brazil festival performance in March so im guessing we will have the first single by then and they will do some promotion over there? Dont see why they have things booked if not.. Exciting!

Posted by: Jack 16th January 2020, 10:09 AM

I would assume we would at least get a new single before their Summer tour!

Posted by: Auld Lang Peen 16th January 2020, 03:45 PM

WROOOONG!!!

Album will debut 5-7 on a quiet week. On a tough week, around #10, but it will struggle for that.

First single will struggle for top 15. Subsequent will struggle for top 30/ 40. Splitsville after tour obligations. Wouldn't discount this being a greatest hits album and auto splitsville either.

You heard it here first. As always.

Posted by: Jordan Lee 16th January 2020, 03:56 PM

I don’t think it’d do that bad! (Well I’m talking of the album here).

Like let’s just say for example if they reels see last week the album would’ve only needed 8K sales to debut at #5. They won’t have collapsed that much from LM5 in week one. I think they could easily sell 30K still in debut week. But they need to just make sure it’s not a Q4 release!

Posted by: Auld Lang Peen 16th January 2020, 04:01 PM

Their last single didn't make top 70 and the one before that was a record-breaking flop in the streaming age! Expect looow album sales.

Posted by: caseclosed 16th January 2020, 06:51 PM

It's that troll. It just changed the username. It can't get enough of following the girls' career.

Posted by: shindymindy 16th January 2020, 10:30 PM

The troll is back - it's as if they auditioned for the x factor the same year as Little Mix, weren't chosen to be a part of the band and they've been bitter ever since!

Bore off

Posted by: Juliano 16th January 2020, 10:59 PM

Jesus. Somehow it seems unoriginal by now.

Posted by: legendsglory 17th January 2020, 07:20 PM

Will.I.am recently said in an interview that he has an upcoming collaboration with Little Mix. Hyped

Posted by: Juliano 17th January 2020, 08:34 PM

I'm hoping it's production work rather than another feature.

Posted by: Jonjo 17th January 2020, 09:13 PM

Oh dear Lord no thank you!

Keep it. Honestly.

Posted by: Frenchie 17th January 2020, 09:17 PM

Please no. The comeback single better not have a feature .

Posted by: *Tim 17th January 2020, 09:19 PM

Let's not pretend his productions efforts are all that good

Posted by: Jordan Lee 17th January 2020, 10:18 PM

Hoping it’s production based too rather than a feature.

It’s not likely to happen but I’d love an album with absolutely no other featured artists on it from them.

With GA they never used to have featured and LM have had that many over their career it would make a refreshing change. However I’m expecting a few and then a couple of post album singles to be pushed with a featured added

Posted by: Defaze 17th January 2020, 11:09 PM

Jesus Christ no.

Posted by: Juliano 17th January 2020, 11:22 PM

Well I mean I could imagine them doing a song with a Scream & Shout sequel beat, I'd rather that than a vocal.

Posted by: Jonjo 17th January 2020, 11:47 PM

Times are so much different now in regards to artists using/adding features (as has been said numerous times before ) especially in the download/streaming crossover period. I see this era of "adding a feature" in the same way as I do with artists releasing a cheap cover in the noughties, you know? Nobody wants it, but it was an easier way to get a hit further into the campaign (and remember we used to get like 3 or 4 singles before the album was actually released - and songs were released with multiple formats (i.e. 4 CD Singles etc..)).

None of us want the features when the songs are just as strong on their own, but the fanbase know this and unfortunately nowadays, the public aren't interested unless it's force-fed to them and releasing a new version of the song gets it more attention.

Posted by: Mateja 18th January 2020, 10:25 AM

I don't mind the features if they are well executed. The inclusion of a reasonably well known artist also compells more people to at least listen to the song once.

Posted by: *Tim 18th January 2020, 11:17 AM

That'd be the most outdated mess, I'd be here for the meltdowns

Posted by: Jordan Lee 18th January 2020, 01:30 PM

I never thought about it but that’s so true.

And so many of my 00s faves released some awful covers but I still bought them

Posted by: Juliano 18th January 2020, 08:16 PM

You ain't wrong.

Basically Down & Dirty though.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 21st January 2020, 12:37 AM

It does work but I hate how so many songs these days have feature, years ago features it duets were something to get excited about where now I get more excited about a song that doesn't have a feature.

Posted by: Jonjo 21st January 2020, 10:10 PM

Anne-Marie has got the collaboration rumours sparked up again!

Posted by: caseclosed 24th January 2020, 12:16 AM

Little Mix have registered the R&B version of k-pop’s SUPER JUNIOR “Sorry, Sorry”. I was skeptical but if it’s really the R&B version the song’s actually great and their vocals would sound great on it.

Posted by: Frenchie 5th February 2020, 09:32 PM

They're teasing new music on socials again. Saying the first single might be out for when they perform in Brazil on 8th March!

Posted by: Jonjo 6th February 2020, 02:40 AM

COME ON QUEENS.

Imagine a surprise, impromptu BRITs performance premiere? *.* (Ofc it won't happen aha.)

Posted by: legendsglory 8th March 2020, 08:16 PM

Apparently the girls said in an interview the album is almost finished and will be out before the summer. IM HYPED AND READY

Posted by: Jonjo 8th March 2020, 10:37 PM

YES! Before the Summer is a very good idea I guess that more or less guarantees new songs at their Summer tour

Posted by: shindymindy 8th March 2020, 11:03 PM

Great idea - to coincide with the tv show.

Weekly promo!

Posted by: Jonjo 20th March 2020, 01:47 PM

This is cute. LM5 you were... interesting. Some of the girls finest material to date that got messed up thanks to label politics and whatnot. BRING ON LM6!

Posted by: Jonjo 20th March 2020, 01:52 PM

I S2FG IF THE ALBUM IS CALLED "HASHTAG" OR " # " I WILL CUT A BITCH.

Srs though, there is something going around saying that it could potentially mean "Double crossed"... they're not gonna let Syco breathe

Posted by: caseclosed 20th March 2020, 03:46 PM

They gave an interview to another brazilian website and said the album is pretty much done, all the singles have been recorded and chosen.

The album is more pop and the first single isn’t as blatantly empowering as some of their previous ones.

https://twitter.com/g1poparte/status/1240926617091870720?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1240926617091870720&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fs9e.github.io%2Fiframe%2Ftwitter.min.html%231240926617091870720

Posted by: JulianNial 23rd March 2020, 05:21 PM

Well if it is called 'Double-Crossed' then 'Break Up Song' fits well with the theme and it wouldn't surprise me if the rumour of it being an old song is true, that they wanted it as a single for 'Get Weird', so chose it for the lead of this campaign out of... not spite, but you get me.

Also if it's with an 80s vibe, can they please rerecord Mini Viva's 'I'm Hooked', because I CAN'T with that song going to waste. Random.

Posted by: legendsglory 25th March 2020, 12:44 PM

Perrie said in an interview with Capital today that the album title is the same as /related to the theme of the album. She also said again that the album is pop. Im HERE for pop mix to make a comeback

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 25th March 2020, 02:27 PM

Hooefully this album does really really well for them, if it goes well lm5 will pick up sales on the back of it aswell and possibly help it towards getting platinum.

Posted by: JulianNial 25th March 2020, 03:58 PM

Yes that NEEDS to happen, because I'm still in love with the album. It would be already is Wasabi was a single. But we all know why it wasn't and the paid it a good homage, so I can't be mad.

Posted by: shadow2009 1st April 2020, 11:29 AM

If they're going to add any rappers to single releases they should add someone from the UK grime scene instead of going for an expensive American name. We saw how big Power was with Stormzy being added, and I feel like Think About Us would have done better if they had someone like Dave or AJ Tracey featured who have huge fanbases over someone like Ty Dolla Sign who probably cost much more money but isn't exactly popular in the UK.

Posted by: legendsglory 8th April 2020, 06:14 PM

The girls just said they are in talks with an artist to do a collab for the new album! They also said if it happens, it will be one of the best collabs they have done They say this about all their collabs but im still hyped!

Posted by: caseclosed 8th April 2020, 06:46 PM

I just hope it's not Anne Marie, as a collab with her is definitely coming, they mentioned it right after.

Posted by: legendsglory 8th April 2020, 06:56 PM

I noticed that, i think it could be a Latin American artist too.. they have mentioned wanting to collab with the likes of J balvin, Bad Bunny and Rosalia so much recently. Although, a collab with Anne Marie is 100% coming.

Posted by: caseclosed 14th April 2020, 03:13 PM

Jade said they have two collaborations on the album now. One that the fans have been asking for a long time (Ariana? BTS? Anne Marie?) and another one that'll be a bit surprising and leave us gagging.
https://twitter.com/BrasilLM/status/1250078730040598530

Posted by: Jonjo 14th April 2020, 03:51 PM

Anne-Marie is more or less confirmed I think! Ugh. She has some bops but I'm not overly fond. Hopefully they can pull through with the bop when together.

The 2nd intrigues me coz I can't think of anyone that's not been rumoured that would be a huge surprise (like Ari, Blackpink, BTS etc..)

I wonder if it's someone like ROSALIA or something?

Posted by: Jonjo 14th April 2020, 03:52 PM

What if it's One Direction? (Highly unlikely, but would surprise and leave people gagging etc..)

Posted by: legendsglory 14th April 2020, 03:59 PM

I think it could be ROSALÍA, they have talked about wanting a collaboration with her for a while now. Exciting.. Could it also be Ariana? or BTS.. We all know Jade loves them! Hmmm..

Posted by: MrAndrewMan 14th April 2020, 08:54 PM

Jesy confirmed in another livestream that they are not in talks for a collaboration with Ariana at the moment.

and she then said "Anne-Marie on the other hand"... so I think an AM collab is very likely - which i'm definitely here for.

Posted by: legendsglory 15th April 2020, 08:41 AM

Yes i seen that. That collab is 100% confirmed i would say! However i dont think its gonna be on this album. It will be on AM2.

Posted by: JulianNial 15th April 2020, 09:27 AM

They also were talking about collaborating with Pablo Vittar right?

Posted by: shadow2009 15th April 2020, 11:39 AM

Why do they have such SHIT taste in collabs? Like, out of all the exciting artists out there at the moment they wanna work with Anne-Marie and Will.I.Am?

Posted by: Jordan Lee 15th April 2020, 11:43 AM

It might be a case of who’ll be willing to work with Little Mix rather than who Little Mix want to work with.

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd April 2020, 11:36 PM

Steve Aoki is still up for collaborating with them!

Posted by: caseclosed 23rd April 2020, 01:07 AM

Meh.

Posted by: Defaze 24th April 2020, 06:47 PM

Legit though ― Anne-Marie and will.i.am are my personal NIGHTMARE. Only Sean Paul and Stormzy have been inspired picks (and Missy on HYD, for all it made a difference). I guess Nicki Minaj was a good coup for them since they'd been dying to work with her since the first era, but she's absolutely loathsome and her rap goes on for wayyy too long.

Also, as much as I bop to Only You, why they were colloborating with Cheat Codes for all acts coming off the back of their imperial phase is beyond me.

Posted by: Slick 27th April 2020, 01:55 PM

Wow a collab with ANNE-MARIE? Remember when a collab with Ariana actually seemed possible? Things have changed so quickly for them </3

Posted by: caseclosed 27th April 2020, 02:48 PM

I honestly wouldn't want a collab with either nowadays. I've had a bit too much of Ariana and I feel like it wouldn't aggregate much.

Posted by: Court 27th April 2020, 05:26 PM

Ariana was never a legitimate possibility. She forgot about them the moment they stepped out of the arena on their last tour date.

Posted by: shadow2009 28th April 2020, 09:27 AM

I mean, they were part of One Love Manchester and her and her mum defended them against Piers Morgan when LM5 came out?

I agree she was never a collab possibility, though.

Posted by: Slick 28th April 2020, 11:51 AM

Whether or you not you think it could have happened, the point is AIM HIGHER GIRLS.

Posted by: JulianNial 6th May 2020, 04:05 PM

Only just seen this 13:25 humming a new song from the album, sounds like a bop! Bringing back memories of how much I wanted to hear 'Monster In Me' when she hummed that.

Posted by: caseclosed 9th May 2020, 04:30 PM

Perrie and Leigh have just said on Capital that they received an email confirming a collab today for the album I think.

‘That message we just got today though..one of the craziest things we’ve ever been asked to do..what an opportunity..get me in the booth I’m ready’

Posted by: legendsglory 9th May 2020, 04:36 PM

I was just gonna post about this! ... Sounds exciting tbh, it wont be the Anne Marie collab as Perrie said "they will never guess it" and the Anne Marie collab has already been basically confirmed.. Hmmm exciting

Posted by: caseclosed 9th May 2020, 04:50 PM

Here’s the video: https://twitter.com/brasillm/status/1259163160315076608?s=21

For Perrie to let her diva out do you think it could be a rock thing?

Posted by: legendsglory 9th May 2020, 04:54 PM

Leigh said it would be good for Perrie to "let her diva out" with this collab .... Wait what omg

Posted by: JulianNial 9th May 2020, 05:23 PM

DIVA?!

Beyoncé?!?!?!?

Doubt it.

Posted by: shadow2009 9th May 2020, 05:38 PM

It could be a dance song, like a collab with a DJ.

Posted by: Court 9th May 2020, 06:00 PM

I think the collab and the email are two different things. Cause Leigh confirms a collab and then Perrie changes the subject with the email.

Posted by: shindymindy 9th May 2020, 08:19 PM

Agreed

I think it’s a collab and something else - a big awards show performance maybe?

Posted by: JulianNial 10th May 2020, 11:54 PM

To me it really sounds as if they're talking on the same lines. But I guess we shall see.

Posted by: caseclosed 13th May 2020, 01:04 AM

This is amazing: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wxQpgdBJU_s&feature=emb_title

Jesy basically hates Black Magic, Perrie despises a song with a feature they have on their catalog (Leigh says the feature makes the song so probably either Oops, Reggaeton or Woman Like Me), they say there’s one or two collaborations they wouldn’t do again (one for sure).

They also hint at the album title with “It’s a party, a celebration”

Posted by: colinn 13th May 2020, 01:32 AM

Perrie recently said this is one of her favourites and we know they how much they love Nicki. That only leaves one...

Posted by: Wall 13th May 2020, 01:48 AM

So they almost got dropped? I wonder if that was after album 1 or album 2?

The person who they wouldn’t do a collab with again with the clue L.A? Could that be no more sad songs?

Posted by: caseclosed 13th May 2020, 02:11 AM

They mentioned on their latest book that they felt like they were getting dropped in between Salute and Get Weird, if I'm not mistaken. It was an oddly long time between Salute and Black Magic considering Syco's schedule and the fact that they had discarded a whole album probably didn't bode well.

Posted by: Jonjo 13th May 2020, 09:46 AM

Yeah. I think there was another interview or something (a while ago) and Perrie brought up Charlie which Jade shot down pretty quick or something.

Posted by: JulianNial 13th May 2020, 10:37 AM

Also Jesy said "LA", which got me thinking it was Cheat Codes.

Posted by: shadow2009 13th May 2020, 12:16 PM

It's weird that they'd potentially have been dropped considering Move and Salute (single) were big hits and the album was also platinum. What more did the label want?

Posted by: caseclosed 13th May 2020, 12:50 PM

If i recall well the album took a while to go platinum as did Salute to be certified... Little Me and Word Up! flopped badly and they had the US tour cancelled. Salute (the single + BGT performance) be what saved them to be honest...

Posted by: JulianNial 14th May 2020, 12:35 PM

If only they listened to Jade and released 'Nothing Feels Like You' as the Sports Relief single.

Would have easily performed better than 'Word Up!'.

Posted by: Defaze 14th May 2020, 04:34 PM

It's 100% Charlie Puth. The fact they never even performed 'Oops' on tour despite it being the most well-known GDs album track speaks volumes.

Posted by: caseclosed 16th May 2020, 11:24 PM

Charli XCX's "Our Boyfriend" has registered Little Mix as its performers #LM6

The song is written by Eleyar (Told You So) and produced by Electric (Black Magic, No More Sad Songs, Shout Out To My Ex, Hair)

https://twitter.com/keepingupwithlm/status/1261781154107199488?s=21

I searched that song on BMI and ASCAP and couldn’t find them listed as performers so I’m not sure if it’s true...

Posted by: Jonjo 17th May 2020, 12:35 AM

Produced by the team who gave us 4 of Little Mix's most iconic hits? WE STAN.

Plz be true!

Posted by: legendsglory 17th May 2020, 10:36 AM

The girls are rumoured to be collaborating with Brazillian drag queen Pabllo Vittar! It could either be for LM6 or for Pabllo's new album.. Really hope thats true tbh

Posted by: legendsglory 20th May 2020, 10:35 AM

People on twitter seem to think this is called “The Moment” not sure of the source yet though.

Posted by: caseclosed 20th May 2020, 11:46 AM

Source was a post on Popjustice. I don’t like it if I’m honest... When they teased it was a party I expected something a bit more literal...

Posted by: legendsglory 20th May 2020, 11:55 AM

Yes ive seen the post now, its not the worst name but with the hints they have been giving i did expect something more exciting

Posted by: caseclosed 20th May 2020, 12:41 PM

Exatcly... Let's hope it's just a rumour.

Posted by: caseclosed 24th May 2020, 06:51 PM

So the girls have a collab with Skinny Dip London coming soon and the first teaser said “Hot Wasabi”. Today a new one with “Side Eye Saint” was posted, I think that might be a new song title or lyric...

https://twitter.com/skinnydiplondon/status/1264602308907655168?s=21

Posted by: legendsglory 24th May 2020, 07:00 PM

It honestly could be a hint. If its the name of the next single i hope it actually has a good concept as the name is giving me Wasabi 2.0 realness

Posted by: caseclosed 28th May 2020, 02:54 PM

They talk a bit about the second single and The Search here. Turns out it was the second single video they were going to shoot in Brazil, as well as the album campaign shoot.

https://youtu.be/r3riLla4yEw

They seem so excited about The Search.

Jesy says the second single is very fitting for when it’s going to be released. Do we think she means the summer?

Posted by: legendsglory 28th May 2020, 03:10 PM

Good interview! They seem certain to be going back to Brazil too, which is exciting.

I immediately thought about a summer single when Jesy said that. Hyped Love their big summer tunes!

Posted by: caseclosed 12th June 2020, 12:14 PM

Girls are back in the studio.

https://twitter.com/mixermanagement/status/1271402679986782209?s=21

Posted by: legendsglory 15th June 2020, 10:01 AM

Amazing! I was looking back and they have worked with some good names for this album. (Oak Felder, Tayla Parx and im sure they have worked on a song with Wayne Hector too) Which is so exciting!

Also, they will obviously move on to the second single soon but when do you think is a perfect time? This month? Next month? I personally think some time in July!

Posted by: Frenchie 15th June 2020, 10:40 AM

I'm thinking that it'll be sometime in July also. Hopefully they'll be able to film the video for it soon.

Although they have been very quiet on their socials recently. None of the girls wished Jesy a Happy Birthday or anything which seems a bit odd. Makes me think maybe an announcement is coming soon.

Posted by: JulianNial 15th June 2020, 01:08 PM

I'm thinking they should go with July and I'm fine with either Single 3 in the Autumn followed by the album shortly after OR if it really is ready then dropping it after Single 2 is fine at this point.

Posted by: caseclosed 25th June 2020, 02:40 PM

Fans have been speculating if this is a hint.
https://twitter.com/littlemix/status/1275883395344740352?s=21

Posted by: legendsglory 25th June 2020, 02:45 PM

I honestly doubt it means anything but it actually could i guess.

There has been a song listed on LM's genius page called 'Dangerous Summer' and it says its out July 10th. I know it can be edited by anyone and im not sure if i believe it but does anyone know if theres any truth to this? All of the lyrics are posted aswell.

Posted by: caseclosed 25th June 2020, 02:57 PM

There’s been several songs lyrics posted there over the years, I believe anyone can do so and I don’t like these so I hope they’re not true.

July 10th seems like a possible release date though.

Posted by: legendsglory 25th June 2020, 03:08 PM

Yeah im not sure i believe the song at all but i hope the release date is real. Would be a perfect time for a summer banger, its also Perries birthday!

Posted by: caseclosed 30th June 2020, 03:36 PM

The song “Gloves Up” was registered on Ascap, written by Perrie, Leigh and Jade with Meagan Cottone and producer Lost Boy (Peter Rycroft).

There is also a song called 'Freedom' registered which Perrie wrote. Im not sure if its new or not but i have never seen it before.

Freedom is older. I don’t remember if it was pre or post Glory Days but it’s been up for a while.

Posted by: legendsglory 30th June 2020, 04:55 PM

Yes, thank you! I just seen that it was registered in June 2015.

Gloves Up is definitely a new one though. Single 2??

Posted by: caseclosed 30th June 2020, 04:55 PM

Yeah the new songs for this era has been this one and For Myself which has Leigh Anne, MNEK, Shungudzo and Bebe Rhexa listed.

Yes, i remember that one! So if those tracks are for LM6 then so far we have:

Break Up Song
For Myself
Gloves Up

Hmmm, interesting! Im desperate for new music! Cant wait

Posted by: caseclosed 30th June 2020, 06:10 PM

What could Gloves Up mean? I saw a definition on Urban Dictionary but I doubt it’s that lol.

Posted by: *Callum 1st July 2020, 12:18 PM

“For Myself” yes LM come through with a The Saturdays cover and smash

Posted by: JulianNial 1st July 2020, 05:56 PM

Wouldn't be mad.

Posted by: caseclosed 2nd July 2020, 05:36 PM

I’ve just realized For Myself shares four songwriters with “Me, Myself & I”, I really hope it’s not a sample.

Posted by: legendsglory 12th July 2020, 10:18 AM

Bit random but where do you all think this will debut/peak?

I think it will definitely debut top 3 and if it’s a quiet week i could see it possibly debuting top 2 tbh. I’m not expecting huge sales though (maybe 30-40k) which is still impressive! It all depends on how the second single performs imo. But yeah i think it will definitely atleast go top 3!

Posted by: Jonjo 12th July 2020, 10:29 AM

Unless it's Q4 (Oct-Dec) I can't seen anywhere near 30k-40k. I'm expecting (at this point) about 15k-20k, but that's dependant on the 2nd single being a big hit.

Posted by: caseclosed 12th July 2020, 01:41 PM

Just that?! Wow I didn’t think things were that bad, that’s so few for them. I think they might be releasing it in August/September, no? It’s usually no more than a month between the single and the album.

Posted by: legendsglory 12th July 2020, 01:48 PM

15k? I seriously can’t see it being that low at all.

Posted by: JulianNial 12th July 2020, 02:12 PM

No I reckon it'll be packed full of bops and I'm imagining it will do slightly better than LM5.

Posted by: caseclosed 12th July 2020, 02:29 PM

Don’t think it’ll do better than LM5 on debut as it did 50k something and I don’t find that number realistic for them nowadays. But I expected 30k something at least.

Posted by: shindymindy 12th July 2020, 02:30 PM

If say at least 35k for them in opening week

Posted by: Jonjo 12th July 2020, 03:50 PM

Idk. I'd love that but sales are horrific rn. Dua did 34k on a much bigger singles campaign and off the back off a huge era. Little Mix are releasing on the back of a "decent"/mess of an era with a huge hit (hopefully 2!) but not as big as Don't Start Now/Physical (although Physical got off to a slow start iirc?) so we'll see. But I'm really not expecting anywhere near 30k (unless it's Oct-Dec sometime and that depends on promo)

Posted by: caseclosed 12th July 2020, 04:05 PM

I sort of think they have a more solid fanbase than Dua in the UK though. Could be wrong.

Posted by: jsweetxe 15th July 2020, 06:41 PM

I think saying around 30k is very harsh lol, y'all act like they're a washed up act. They still have a lot of power in the UK, Break-Up Song may not have touched the success that Woman Like Me had however there's obviously a lot of factors that come into play for the reason why it didn't do as well.

From what I saw from both "locals" and general stan bases/twitter, Break-Up Song was more well received than Woman Like Me (Personally found WLM quite dated and boring.. really didn't feel like a Little Mix song at all whilst BUS is like.. quintessential Little Mix)

The second single will probably bang given what we know, maybe not as hard, but I think it will revive whatever died, although I don't consider a top 10 debut, 10+ weeks in the top 20 single "dying" given that it was released at the start of lockdown when literally every form of media was down in consumption. It wouldn't have been #1, but I feel like if lockdown wasn't happening BUS would've been top 5 easily and had a lot of longevity, I feel like the "video" was what killed the momentum, yeah they did what they could but it was still garbage and delayed lol.

I hope they don't release around Christmas, because their selling power is no longer higher than the Christmas album staple artists and I at least want another #1. I'm gunning for around 50k - 60k. And I'll die on that hill, I think this forum doesn't give them enough credit for their power within the UK.

Plz be real :')

Posted by: 1hit1der 16th July 2020, 01:02 PM

Please be a sassy "Wasabi/Joan of Arc" sister track.

Not a "Told You So" style song - thanks.

Posted by: M477h3w 16th July 2020, 04:09 PM

I think the album could do 30k in the first week.

Posted by: caseclosed 17th July 2020, 02:07 AM

Apparently the album’s ready?!

Posted by: legendsglory 17th July 2020, 05:16 AM

Omg. I was honestly starting to think they would just release in November tbh, maybe they will release it after Holiday?

August/September release?? It must be ready as they wouldn’t sit there and listened to half finished songs?!?

Posted by: jsweetxe 19th July 2020, 02:31 PM

Not sure if this has been clocked, but a new song was registered over at BMI called "Nothing But My Feelings".

Leigh & Jade wrote it with Sean Douglas, Oak Felder, Alex Niceforo, James Norton (Motivate) & Keith Sorrells.

Douglas & Felder are pretty much staples within a lot of pop girls, especially in the US (5h, Ariana, Demi etc) whilst others have worked on a few recent songs. The common theme here seems to be Demi and Lizzo.

There’s a Little Mix & Zara duet confirmed but neither made Zara’s album

Posted by: legendsglory 23rd July 2020, 05:01 PM

Has it definitely not made the album? That duet could be amazing!

Posted by: jsweetxe 23rd July 2020, 06:27 PM

Is that confirmed? She said it's mixed and mastered but she's not sure on it being on the album yet.

Since it's Zara it could possibly leak, but I lowkey hope she like releases a deluxe of her album or a re-issue and uses it as the lead, it would be really great for both of them.

Posted by: legendsglory 24th July 2020, 08:30 AM

The album is now complete! The girls revealed in an interview with MTV that it’s 100% finished!! Maybe it could actually be coming August-September time then?

Announcement soon?

Posted by: Wall 24th July 2020, 09:52 AM

I’m guessing it will probably be on Little Mix’s album rather than Zara’s? Perrie has been commenting on Zara’s stuff recently too! They did say they had a duet that people wanted and remember the hype after think about us demo?

Posted by: jsweetxe 24th July 2020, 02:26 PM

Possibly. The girls did an interview today and were asked about collabs, they didn't say anything because they haven't been 100% finalized, so maybe Zara and LM's team are in the process of deciding who gets the song and who is the lead artist?

Posted by: dannjohn 26th July 2020, 11:19 AM

I really hope LM experiment a bit more on this album. Every era is about them looking good and making ‘hits’. Itd be cool to see more artistry... like ‘Lightening’ or ‘Dna’ or the “haunting me” part of ‘Monster in Me’.

Posted by: jsweetxe 26th July 2020, 12:27 PM

Considering what we've heard so far, this album seems to be a revamped Glory Days, where it's just back to back pop songs (Minus like.. the annoying doo-wop) I don't think it's bright for us to expect any experimentation or concept lol

Posted by: JulianNial 26th July 2020, 02:04 PM

Yeh exactly, unfortunately I doubt it, they've already mentioned in interviews that every song on the album are radio friendly hit-worthy bops that they liked. I have no issue with that at all. Bring me NMSS part 2!

Posted by: legendsglory 7th August 2020, 11:07 AM

Well jesy just said this is out in a month or two... ITS HAPPENING

My guess is they will tie in the album release with The Search.. September release i’m thinking!

Posted by: caseclosed 7th August 2020, 11:24 AM

Ideally they’d release it right before the liveshows start when they’ll have some hypes from the show being on for a few weeks and the following weeks to promote it there. That’ll probably be October already so have a reliable platform where they can promote it and November will see a natural increase on sales.

Posted by: jsweetxe 11th August 2020, 01:50 PM

I wish they would hurry up and announce something regarding this.. I feel like whilst Holiday is gaining traction and we're all at the peak of hype for the album that they should announce something. These vague clues of "it's coming soon" and it's vague sound aren't very exciting and IMO, they'll just turn people off.

Posted by: caseclosed 11th August 2020, 02:11 PM

Jade and Jesy were in the studio yesterday so I can't imagine they're ready to announce something yet. Probably waiting to see if they'll get any call back from the possible features too. I think the concert next week will help keep the hype up and soon we'll have The Search. I assume they'll announce a premiere date sooner than later.

Posted by: legendsglory 11th August 2020, 02:22 PM

They were probably recording the collabs as they said all of the recording for the album was finished they just needed to wait on the collabs to see if they were still happening.

I imagine a release date will be coming very soon ngl.

Posted by: jsweetxe 11th August 2020, 02:34 PM

It's not even like they need to announce the entire thing, just something. I know the collabs were taking their time but hopefully now it's sorted. You can still give a release date or a name or something along those lines.

All we know so far is that the album campaign shoot is done and the sound is "Glory Days 2.0" but it's coming in the next month or two..

Posted by: legendsglory 11th August 2020, 02:38 PM

The fact that its supposedly coming in a month or two but they still havent posted the name, artwork and preorder link etc etc is so annoying. I hate it when they announce an album just 4 weeks before its release.

Posted by: caseclosed 11th August 2020, 02:45 PM

I don't mind honestly, don't see the point in announcing it with much anticipation. A month is more than fine and I'd hate to get just the title without the artwork...

Posted by: jsweetxe 11th August 2020, 02:45 PM

Agreed. That was such a big mistake for the LM5 era, not only did they announce it like 4/5 weeks beforehand but they released their lead single 6(?) weeks before the release of the album. I feel like their team is stuck in the Glory Days era where you can release a lead single and have the album only a month later and still find success.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 11th August 2020, 03:57 PM

I think in the current climate 4 weeks is more than fine to announce an album...People consume music much more quickly now with streaming etc..

Having a release months away can actually make people lose interest, I'm a huge fan and it would me.

Posted by: caseclosed 11th August 2020, 04:03 PM

Yeah I agree with Joel. It’s much easier to keep the hype up for 4 weeks than for two months. That’s why I think they’ll tie the album with a new single, even if simultaneously.

Posted by: shindymindy 11th August 2020, 04:17 PM

I agree - a shorter time between announcement and release is best

Posted by: shadow2009 11th August 2020, 06:53 PM

I'm guessing sonically this will be more like Get Weird/Glory Days than Salute/LM5?

Posted by: caseclosed 11th August 2020, 07:17 PM

Yeah, they've mentioned it's sort of a mix between both sounds but since they've described it as fun pop I'd think so too. Hopefully it doesn't have the misfires both of these had. They both had better highs than LM5/Salute, but also way lower lows.

Posted by: JulianNial 12th August 2020, 03:55 PM

So MNEK confirmed as the executive producer of the album. That should mean bangers for real!

Posted by: Jonjoliday 12th August 2020, 04:17 PM

If it's anything like the Holiday Remix... he can keep it!

Posted by: jsweetxe 12th August 2020, 04:49 PM

MNEK was confirmed as an Exec producer a while ago, is this new information to y'all?

I was excited at first, because I genuinely like him and his production, but sometimes it's just... so stale and stuck in 2016.

His own album wasn't that great, I really hope he's listening to the girls and letting them decide their direction, some of his Little Mix songs are some of their best (Nothing Feels Like You, Touch, Wasabi and Strip) but I hope that when it comes to dealing with more than 2 songs per album doesn't make them sound stale.

Posted by: JulianNial 12th August 2020, 05:00 PM

Oop, sorry, I hadn't really been paying close enough attention until they released Holiday.

But yeh, I wasn't impressed by his latest output, but his back catelogue sure is impressive.

Posted by: caseclosed 29th August 2020, 03:03 PM

Pabllo Vittar has just liked a tweet insinuating a collab with the girls is coming.

I posted about it on a brazilian forum and someone said that the song has been ready for a while and was supposed to be released whilst they were here earlier in the year.

It’s probably on the Deluxe version of Pabllo’s latest album, which is being released in the near-ish future.

Posted by: caseclosed 3rd September 2020, 02:20 PM

they're in the studio again lol...

Posted by: legendsglory 3rd September 2020, 02:23 PM

Didnt they say the album was finished? Im so confused....

They could be recording the collabs they have planned but i doubt it.

Posted by: caseclosed 3rd September 2020, 02:27 PM

According to Leigh's interview earlier, they have good collaborations in the work but none of them are finished so who knows, I wish they'd set a deadline instead of holding off the album because of them.

Posted by: jsweetxe 3rd September 2020, 07:41 PM

I wonder if they have set deadlines. And if they fall through it means they’ll have to re-record some parts. Since The Search is more than likely coming at the end of September they’re probably using early-mid September to finish the album/finalise collab details and then release in October.

Posted by: JulianNial 4th September 2020, 08:03 AM

Due to a song that's been registered there are rumours the album could be called 'Confetti, which I wouldn't be mad at.

Posted by: jsweetxe 4th September 2020, 09:20 AM

Where did you see that?

But also I wouldn’t hate that either. They said the album title is one word and is celebratory and I think Confetti is a lot less obvious when people think of celebration but still fits the objective. I like it.

Posted by: Spiceboy 4th September 2020, 10:50 AM

I like Confetti that's a cool name. Glory Days is their best album name though I love that!

Posted by: legendsglory 4th September 2020, 10:53 AM

I love the title Confetti. Such a cool album title. I really hope we get the album title very soon, we have waited so long

Posted by: jsweetxe 4th September 2020, 11:11 AM

I hate that nothing leaks for them anymore lol. Glory Days album title + release date and I think also Shout Out to My Ex artwork leaked ahead of their initial announcement thanks to that Chinese website.

I just want a crumb of detail

Posted by: caseclosed 4th September 2020, 12:43 PM

So the collaborations aren’t for LM6 it seems

Posted by: legendsglory 4th September 2020, 12:49 PM

She probably just means they aren’t finalised yet? I cant imagine them doing an album with no collabs on it but i’m kinda here for it if they have some separate collaborations planned.

Posted by: jsweetxe 4th September 2020, 12:59 PM

I’m so tired of this cryptic-esque information they keep feeding us and how tossed about with this album we are. This is looking like it’s going to be a November release which means absolutely no #1.

Posted by: caseclosed 4th September 2020, 01:12 PM

I'd love an album with no collaborations to be fair. Last one we had without any was Salute.

Posted by: Frenchie 4th September 2020, 01:29 PM

From what they’ve been saying maybe it’s gonna be like glory days where they revamp some of the tracks afterwards with features and then release a deluxe album later on.

Posted by: JulianNial 4th September 2020, 02:01 PM

A song called 'Confetti' has been registered by MNEK and Camille Purcell who the girls are constantly in the studio with and Twitter is suggesting that it is most likely a song for Little Mix. It would also fit in with the things they keep saying about 'It's a celebration'.

Posted by: jsweetxe 4th September 2020, 03:58 PM

Oh I found it haha. Written with TMS too! Hopefully it is for Little Mix, it has a similar registration number to Holiday so let’s pray!!

Posted by: JulianNial 4th September 2020, 04:08 PM

Yeh, there are definitely a few pretty solid clues there. If it's anything like Hilary Duff's Confetti then I'll be happy.

And as others have said 'Confetti' is a GREAT name.

Posted by: legendsglory 4th September 2020, 04:50 PM

Jade was in the studio today with MNEK, Nathan Dawe & Tre Jean-Marie.

Why do they keep saying the album is finished but then go back in the studio to record/write

But... judging from those names, a BOP is coming.

Posted by: caseclosed 4th September 2020, 04:57 PM

Nathan x Little Mix would be a smart move by them. Flowers and Lighters have both been big hits in the UK.

Posted by: jsweetxe 4th September 2020, 05:05 PM

Ugh, not a massive fan of Nathan Dawe’s sound. I’d much rather they make a song closer to the original Flowers than a remix lol but whatevs.

I’m definitely going with the theory that their collabs have missed deadline so they’re either replacing the songs with new ones or re-recording / writing new parts for the planned collabs. There’s something weird going on with the collabs. (I’m sick of typing that word)

Posted by: caseclosed 4th September 2020, 05:14 PM

One thing that’s odd is that all of these recent shots have only shown Jade in the studio so they were probably just writing/producing it...

Posted by: legendsglory 4th September 2020, 05:18 PM

They go in seperately to record songs right now i think so its probably just because of that.

Posted by: caseclosed 4th September 2020, 05:59 PM

Yeah but it’s a bit odd that we haven’t seen pictures of any of the other girls lately in the studio, isn’t it?

Yeah i guess but i doubt it means anything

I actually wouldn't be mad. His remix of BUS is amazing!

Posted by: jsweetxe 5th September 2020, 10:38 PM

Dunno if this was caught but for an interview with a Philippine based radio station Leigh said she’s obsessed with a ballad on the album and Perrie said only a piano accompanies their vocals. (Actually I think Leigh said it at a random point in the last 2 weeks and Perrie said this on the show)

Not a fan of very basic ballads unless the song is utterly emotion driven. Have they ever done such a simple ballad? I think LMOLM was just a piano and they all love that so idk.

Also, on the day Confetti was registered by MNEK, Kamille & TMS a song called Fall For You was too. Neither are confirmed for Little Mix but signs point towards them.

Posted by: Tafty 6th September 2020, 04:39 PM

Secret Love Song Part 2 is a piano ballad and many consider it better than the version with Jason!

I love a good piano-led ballad and these girls can def pull it off imo!

Posted by: jsweetxe 9th September 2020, 02:08 PM

Girls are on Capital tomorrow between 6-10am (not for 4 hours obvi lol) hopefully they give us something related to the album, I'm not expecting an announcement but SOMETHING.

Posted by: jsweetxe 10th September 2020, 08:38 PM

Ironic if they deem November to be the right time when all Christmas artists will steamroll them 🥴

Posted by: caseclosed 10th September 2020, 09:08 PM

I'll be fuming if they lose the opportunity to release it during The Search.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 10th September 2020, 10:08 PM

I can't see it going to #1 now to be honest :/

Posted by: legendsglory 10th September 2020, 10:16 PM

If its now finished and mastered it will most likely be released very soon while The Search is airing. I cant see them holding the album for two months or longer when they have a brand new talent show coming out soon which will obviously be big. That would be so stupid of them and their team.

If they dont release it while The Search is airing they have made a very big mistake as it will probably get lost in all the big releases as Novemember tends to be a busy time for albums.. So annoying if this is the case as it honestly could of went number 1 if they timed it right. C'mon girls.. Think about the timing!

'More towards Christmas' HOW is that the right time Lmao.

Posted by: Tafty 11th September 2020, 12:23 AM

Tbh, I'm not TOO fussed about the #1. I just want decent longevity with this album. I'd like a mid-Oct release (so it can hopefully stay steady in the charts during The Search) and top 20 until January kinda release. They've had their #1 album, that's not AS important to me anymore. It'd obviously be welcomed and a bonus, but I've kind of told myself #1 is out of the question aha (absolutely fingers crossed though!)

Posted by: legendsglory 11th September 2020, 12:30 AM

How much are we predicting this to sell on week 1? I honestly can’t decide?

LM5 debuted with 56k i think so i’m obviously assuming quite a bit lower than that considering album sales aren’t as high right now and they don’t have a WLM sized hit opening the era/album but BUS is still close to being a Gold hit which isn’t bad at all! I wouldn’t like to guess tbh

Posted by: caseclosed 11th September 2020, 12:33 AM

I agree that longevity’s more important but I really feel like its longevity would benefit way more from promo after it was released (meaning a release right at the start of liveshows) than from a release on the finale or in November. If they release in the beginning of liveshows they’d benefit from a combo of November’s high sales AND promo boost. If they release at the finale the hype will only die.

Posted by: shindymindy 11th September 2020, 08:43 AM

They surely have to release during the search - it would be criminal not to

I think we'll start hearing things about the album over the next few weeks to build up momentum

Posted by: legendsglory 11th September 2020, 10:16 AM

According to someone on Popjustice, the girls are announcing tour next week. Could we be expecting the album announcement too?

Posted by: caseclosed 11th September 2020, 10:41 AM

It’d be odd of them to announce a tour before announcing the actual album... but then again just yesterday they said they’re “waiting for the right time”...

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 11th September 2020, 11:11 AM

I think I'd predict somewhere around 25-30k?

Posted by: legendsglory 11th September 2020, 11:17 AM

Yup same. My prediction was around 35k but i didn’t know if that seemed too high or not. As long as it has longevity im not particularly bothered!

Posted by: jsweetxe 11th September 2020, 12:47 PM

I am lol! Mainly because whenever other artists get a #1 album it's always with really low sales, like Zayn's Mind of Mine getting #1 with like 22k when Get Weird was 59k and was #2. I know they've had their #1, but somehow other artists get to have consecutive #1s with MUCH lower sales, even LM5 getting #3 with 57k when in that year Kylie got #1 with 48k, Post Malone with 46k, Ariana with 45k, Jess Glynne with 36k, ASIB had 31k and 1975 were lower as well iirc. It's just frustrating.

In fact the only artists to have an album debut with higher sales at #1 was Drake and Take That (and I think the Greatest Showman too)

--

As for the actual sales, even though Christmas time doesn't help their chart positions, it DOES help their sales, regardless of popularity, so I'm gonna go with around 40k - 50k.

If the tour announcement is coming then I assume the album announcement would be too? Especially considering their album support tour name is usually "the [album name] tour", either way they need to be ON this album rollout.

Posted by: caseclosed 11th September 2020, 01:27 PM

Confetti?

Posted by: legendsglory 11th September 2020, 01:37 PM

Yup that is definitely Confetti. Love that title. Wouldn’t even mind if it was the album name

Posted by: jsweetxe 11th September 2020, 01:48 PM

Ugh YES, please be Confetti.

Posted by: JulianNial 11th September 2020, 01:49 PM

I'm obsessed with that as an album title. It has to happen.

Posted by: Tafty 11th September 2020, 05:36 PM

I don't think it's odd at all. I assume it'll be another Summer tour like how it was supposed to be this year? And it'll tie in with The Search and how that group will be supporting them on that tour etc..

Very excited for a tour. They smash it EVERY time.

An album announcement will come v soon too. I imagine the "waiting for the right time" is just a default excuse rn as I assume they can't announce anything themselves.

Posted by: JulianNial 12th September 2020, 09:12 AM

Twitter has pointed out that at the end of the Wasabi video, there was a shot of the LM5 album cover and then an explosion of confetti and the LM5 cover fell over before it says 'New era pending...'. So maybe they've had this planned for a while.

That’s actually a good point! Wasn’t there a video of the girls on set a few weeks ago with confetti on the floor in the background too? It’s definitely a single title but i would LOVE it to be the album title too. They could do so much with that title for the album cover. Ugh imagine the looks.

Posted by: jsweetxe 13th September 2020, 10:16 AM

Jade recently did an interview with a South Korean streaming service, and whilst she didn’t mention anything specific about the album she did say that the album will probably feature old school pop sounds- so I’m thinking their route for the album is Future Nostalgia. Where there’s no solid theme, just a collection of really good pop songs but eh, we’ll see. Considering neither BUS or Holiday have any 90s/early 00s sound lol.

Posted by: legendsglory 14th September 2020, 04:56 PM

I really don’t think they will announce the tour this week i don’t know why..

Wouldn’t they of announced it today? They always announce their tours on a Monday.

Posted by: *Tim 14th September 2020, 05:01 PM

Who announces a tour in the middle of a global pandemic that could last well into 2021? Unless they plan to tour from 2022 onwards or something.
I like the sound of the old school pop sounds, I am ready for their Physical

Posted by: legendsglory 14th September 2020, 05:02 PM

Exactly. It’s such a bad time to announce a tour...

Posted by: salutesmix 14th September 2020, 06:01 PM

Announcing the tour now is a really really bad move, because of the situation most people won't even try to buy tickets with all this uncertainty... I get that the whole The Search thing is finding someone to open their shows but that's not the right time?
They should decide how to manage the album release along with the search, the third single, working on some collabs for other artists' albums (and maybe adding these to the digital album so they can have more streams)... They really could be doing a lot of things instead of the tour announcement, we will see.

Posted by: caseclosed 14th September 2020, 06:31 PM

Pabllo has said in an interview today that the four angels who appeared in the sky in her most recent video are a spoiler of a collaboration that's coming this year.

It's most definitely them when you consider this:


Even though songs from local artists not in Portuguese are rarely very successful around here, boosting their popularity in Brazil is a great move since our Spotify numbers nowadays are huge. Right now only three songs out of the Top 50 make less than 300,000 daily streams.

Posted by: Tafty 14th September 2020, 08:22 PM

A lot of artists are announcing tours for mid-late 2021 - early 2022.

Posted by: *Tim 14th September 2020, 09:07 PM

Which ones?

Posted by: George.keh 14th September 2020, 09:40 PM

The Weeknd, Ellie Goulding, Jessie Ware. Billie Eilish and Pete Tong have postponed til then as well. They’re just the ones off the top of my head but I know McFly as well

Posted by: Tafty 14th September 2020, 10:26 PM

And in terms of actual new tours (i.e. not being rescheduled) STEPS, HAIM, Melanie C & a load of Indie bands which I really don't care for aha.

Posted by: *Tim 15th September 2020, 09:10 AM

I wouldn't really class LM in the same category as those, but alas I imagine LM will need a lot less time to sell out than those, especially after the whole concert draught. From a bussiness point of view it just doesn't seem smart at all

Posted by: jsweetxe 16th September 2020, 10:10 AM

I hope that now Holiday, its music video, the BTS video and the Live Lounge are out of the way the next event for them is announcing the album.

Also side note, based on how gorgeous Falling was in the Live Lounge, which was essentially just a piano, I am REALLY looking forward to this piano-only ballad on the album if it's delivered anything like that.

EDIT:

Funnily enough just as I posted this they put a video on Instagram featuring confetti lol with the caption being the eyes emoji

Posted by: Tafty 16th September 2020, 10:24 AM

I think this more or less confirms Confetti! (Unless they're being self-aware and trolling us!)

Posted by: shindymindy 16th September 2020, 10:24 AM

If it is confetti, I like it

Posted by: M477h3w 16th September 2020, 11:09 AM

Eeeeek SO ready for thissss

Posted by: caseclosed 16th September 2020, 11:42 AM

I saw a rumoured 27/11 release date on Twitter. Hope it’s wrong... It’d be so much better to release it right before the liveshows...

I feel like it’s too soon to announce an album for November 27th, isn’t it?

I wonder if the track Confetti is coming as a single as well...

Posted by: jsweetxe 16th September 2020, 11:59 AM

I wouldn't say it's too soon? The bigger the gap the better, it allows more time to get more people interested. Look at how well that worked out for Get Weird, and then it propelled them into Glory Days. Not saying that it would work this time lol but, that's typically how I see it. Announcing now would be perfect, and then give us a third single before that.

Leigh said that the "C" song on the album is going to be one of the best to perform, so I would assume that's Confetti, although they've haven't had a song named after the album on the tracklist since Salute, so who knows, but if it is, I would imagine Confetti would be a song they could push as a fun single.

I'm not sure that I believe that tweet though, there's nothing behind it- plus we already know the album is pretty much confirmed to be called Confetti, so it's easy to just choose a random November date and say that's the release.

Posted by: shindymindy 16th September 2020, 01:44 PM

I think it will come before that date to coincide with the start of the live shows of 'the search'

Posted by: caseclosed 16th September 2020, 04:51 PM

It's coming today?!

Posted by: shindymindy 16th September 2020, 04:51 PM

They just posted something on their stories - a clue?

Edit: beaten to it by Caseclosed

Album announcement today then available to pre order on Friday??

Posted by: jsweetxe 16th September 2020, 05:02 PM

Confetti officially announced! 6th November!

THEY look great in that artwork but what is that background? Why is there no confetti in sight x

Very excited for this nonetheless!!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 16th September 2020, 05:21 PM

Tf is that LMAO

Posted by: JulianNial 16th September 2020, 05:24 PM

I knew it!! Beautiful album cover and LOVE the title as I previous said I would if it was. Also not quite understanding why there's no confetti on the cover, but assuming the art at the back will have it?

The instrumental snippet sounds promising! How exciting!

Notice they're sticking with releasing albums in November, they've never not.

DNA - November 19th
Salute - November 8th
Get Weird - November 6th
Glory Days - November 18th
LM5 - November 16th
Confetti - November 6th

Posted by: Dane 16th September 2020, 05:27 PM

The girls all have confetti around their eyes & on some of their hands. Not all confetti is paper, there is metallic confetti as well haha.

Posted by: jlj 16th September 2020, 05:28 PM

Little Mix’s streaming will be a lot higher so that could well work in their favour!

YAS

Posted by: Lukuzz 16th September 2020, 05:34 PM

Woo finally announced can't wait to see a track listing

Posted by: jsweetxe 16th September 2020, 05:36 PM

Okay, initial excitement has worn off now haha.

I'm not that hyped over the album cover- they look stunning but all that empty photoshop 101 space at the top is bugging me. They shot this before COVID, no?

It's strange how they didn't announce like.. various editions as well? Usually they have at least a deluxe and alternate covers?

Also, against Kylie I think they'll get the higher peak, I think it'll do 45-50k easily and maybe more? Christmas sales will help them.

Posted by: shindymindy 16th September 2020, 05:43 PM

They could easily announce different versions leading up to Friday

I defo think they will chart higher than Kylie - I wonder who else is releasing that date

Posted by: Frenchie 16th September 2020, 05:47 PM

Ooh Hype!! I quite like the cover. Glad it should be out during The Search, hopefully that’ll give it a bit of a boost.

Posted by: legendsglory 16th September 2020, 05:51 PM

This honestly might just be my favourite album title of theirs. Perfect choice!

They will definitely go number 1 if nobody else releases on that date especially as it’s out during the search live shows.

Posted by: UltraFolklore 16th September 2020, 06:18 PM

So excited

Posted by: Wall 16th September 2020, 06:20 PM

What the f*** is that artwork

Posted by: Miss J00ps 16th September 2020, 06:28 PM

I don't love the cover.

The makeup also looks like drag makeup on some of them which is kind of strange...

Posted by: Miss J00ps 16th September 2020, 06:30 PM

#NotAllConfetti

Posted by: LMLou 16th September 2020, 06:30 PM

I love the name and I’m really excited for it, but really disappointed with the cover. I was expecting a massively colourful and OTT cover for an album called Confetti

Posted by: caseclosed 16th September 2020, 06:31 PM

I wouldn't be so sure that they're going #1 seeing as Kylie is releasing too and she did 47k in April with Golden, whilst they did just 10k more in November.

And her fans seem more into Disco than Golden.

Also there's plenty of time until November 6th for someone else to release.

Posted by: JulianNial 16th September 2020, 06:48 PM

I'm happy if they get Top 3 and it has longevity.

Posted by: 365 16th September 2020, 06:51 PM

I think they'll have it over Kylie to be honest. They have a Prime time BBC show they'll be performing on every week. And unlike LM5, they'll be launching the album with (presumably) 3 hits already on it already. And I wouldn't be surprised if the label went harder with bundles and stuff this time round.

Posted by: legendsglory 16th September 2020, 06:52 PM

True but the girls have a prime time BBC show that they are going to perform on every week (live shows only, right?) which will obviously help. They will also obviously have way more planned too so i wouldnt rule out that number 1 just yet. It will be an interesting chart battle for sure but i think LM will get it.

They are on The One Show tomorrow for a 'special announcement' ?? Its probably just them announcing Confetti on TV but yeah..

Posted by: legendsglory 16th September 2020, 06:53 PM

Snap aha

Posted by: salutesmix 16th September 2020, 06:56 PM

They could announce more versions on Friday, or just use the Deluxe version card with new songs/remixes/collabs some time after the official release to boost the performance and guarantee more longevity at the top (like everyone seem to do now)

Posted by: Liam.k. 16th September 2020, 07:01 PM

I feel like Little Mix have more of an uphill climb after LM5 wasn't too well-received whereas Kylie has a lot of good-will behind following the success of Golden and then Glastonbury. As mentioned on the previous page too, Kylie's last album was only 10k behind the first week sales of Little Mix's despite being released in April compared to November - now Kylie has the benefit of the Christmas market too.

I don't think it's a clear-cut win by any means, I can certainly see the benefits for Little Mix this time around that they didn't have last time. I'm siding more with Kylie at the moment though.

Posted by: 365 16th September 2020, 07:05 PM

I thought LM5 was pretty well received? And one of their more well received albums? It's just a shame because it came when they were changing labels which meant they had to abandon the album campaign after a couple of months.

Posted by: Liam.k. 16th September 2020, 07:07 PM

I think it's well-received within pop forums but I wouldn't say so with the general public. The album definitely didn't perform to expectations over Christmas, before all the label drama.

Posted by: caseclosed 16th September 2020, 07:14 PM

It's the tour announcement!

Posted by: jsweetxe 16th September 2020, 07:31 PM

LM5’s campaign started in October though, it had absolutely no time to actually begin. Whereas Confetti started in March and has been slowly building. Holiday may not have done as well as BUS but it definitely brought attention. I feel like with a 3rd single they can pull it off.

Disco has been preceded by a underwhelming commercial single (although v good song) so idk, Golden encompassed a very local friendly sound (Country) with another local friendly sound (Dance) whereas Disco may only appeal to a certain group.

But then again, I think Kylie is an amazing woman who makes amazing music. There’ll be no shame in losing the #1 spot to her but I’m still going with Little Mix getting the #1.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 16th September 2020, 07:32 PM

I hate that kylie and litle mix are clashing as i would have liked both to have got the number 1 but i want kylie to have the number 1 more.

Posted by: 365 16th September 2020, 07:35 PM

Yeah, I just think having 3 singles (even if one of them isn't a massive hit) is going to help their first week streaming way more than LM5's. I assume they'll release single 3 in the next couple of weeks.

Posted by: Liam.k. 16th September 2020, 07:35 PM

I'd say disco is a far more appealing genre than country, especially when it comes to Kylie!

Posted by: caseclosed 16th September 2020, 07:36 PM

Yeah I want both of them to get that #1.

Insane how just in March I wacthed both Kylie and Little Mix one day after the other in Brazil, then on the 24th of July both released new songs and now both are releasing their albums on November 6th!

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 16th September 2020, 07:39 PM

Yeah country is probably one of the least "local friendly" genres there is here!;

Posted by: jsweetxe 16th September 2020, 07:41 PM

I mean I agree, but I love disco and actually dislike Country lol but I feel like for locals, especially the older crowd, they preferred more raw sound. But I guess we’ll just wait haha.

Posted by: Tafty 16th September 2020, 08:07 PM

The top bit of the cover looks like it's got a metallic shine to it, so I can see this having the kind of cover that Kelly Clarkson - Piece By Piece has (if anyone has that album, hopefully they'll know what I mean aha - and no, it doesn't come across very well as a standard image so don't google the cover )

I'm so hyped for this and I really love the cover. Sorry x

In regards to the battle, I can see Kylie winning it, but Little Mix maybe having slightly better longevity - due to their show? I honestly don't think it'll be much of a battle either for first week. Kylie's literally had like 20 months worth of pre-orders over just 2 for Little Mix (OK, 5/6 but it feels like 20 )

I can see Kylie debuting with about 65k-ish and LM maybe 35k-40k? (Holding to about 25k-30k the week after, whereas Kylie will be 20k-25k?) I am pretty confident Kylie will have a lot of promo coming up too. Wouldn't surprise me if she had more shows than LM did that week.

Posted by: M477h3w 16th September 2020, 08:36 PM

Are there more releases the few weeks before or something? I’m kinda confused as to why they are battling Kylie unless in comparison to other artists she isn’t as big and they think they stand a better chance ofn#1?

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 16th September 2020, 11:56 PM

I do love the cover but it feels very The Saturdays!

As soon as I saw it I got flashbacks from The Sats days haha!

Hopefully it has a bit of a metallic sheen to the cover...

Super excited for it!

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 17th September 2020, 12:52 AM

I kinda agree about the battle, I think kylie will open on higher numbers but long term little mix will sell more.

Posted by: *Tim 17th September 2020, 05:30 AM

Everything about that cover is awful. The makeuo, the photoshop, the top bit, the font. Let's hope the actual music is better

Posted by: legendsglory 17th September 2020, 06:38 AM

Tbh now i would say Kylie could get it purely because of her pre orders and bundles etc.. But this could change as we dont know what LM are doing yet along with The Search (an episode airs the day after the album release!) but if LM dont get it on week 1 i honestly dont see why they wouldnt snatch on week 2 if nobody else releases as they will hold up well with The Search still airing..

I think ill be torn until i know what LM are doing in terms of bundles etc idk

Posted by: ...ready for it 17th September 2020, 08:31 AM

I like the sound of that! I like Confetti as the album title. The album cover isn't how I imagined it to be, but I like it.

Posted by: 1hit1der 17th September 2020, 08:43 AM

Imagine if an artist swoops in last minute with a surprise release and Kylie/Little Mix both miss the #1 spot

I hope the girls have a lot of promo lined up and don't just rely on The Search - though that will certainly be huge for them.

What other big shows will be airing in October/November?

Posted by: legendsglory 17th September 2020, 08:57 AM

Do LM usually do well with pre orders? Do we know how many LM5 had before release? Thanks

Posted by: jsweetxe 17th September 2020, 09:47 AM

I mean it's not though is it lol. Make-up is fine? The empty space is jarring but other than that it's fine, y'all are so hard on them for no reason.

Regarding pre-orders, they tend to do pretty well, although it's different with LM5 because physical sales overall were down. I remember them constantly being at the top of the pre-order chart with Get Weird, and Glory Days iirc? Although they battled Bruno and Metallica that day.

Pre-orders aren't really that relevant anymore though because of how big streaming is..

I hope that we get the tracklist soon, I'm so curious to hear about the collabs..

Posted by: 365 17th September 2020, 09:58 AM

It did 19k in pre-orders I believe + an additional 9k sales on day one (first day was 27.7k with no streaming), with very limited bundles. The vinyl only came in one (the worst cover) format, no cassettes, no limited covers. No HMV exclusives. No box sets. Nothing signed. Just deluxe CDs and one vinyl I believe? Hopefully they play the game a bit more this time round.

Posted by: legendsglory 17th September 2020, 10:02 AM

Ah okay, Thanks!

Yeah i’m really hoping they DELIVER with the bundles, they need to be doing the absolute most if they want that #1 secured.

I’m also thinking they will do some promo on BBC shows around that time as BBC will be more keen to promote them due to The Search?

Posted by: jsweetxe 17th September 2020, 10:23 AM

It's just been announced that Graham Norton will be back starting on the 2nd October, and they've managed to get a live audience too.

1) that means good for The Search, since it means they can go ahead with a live audience since other BBC shows are enabling it

2) hopefully Little Mix can be on the show on the 6th Nov, that would be great for them and to also perform the 3rd single.

Posted by: caseclosed 17th September 2020, 10:55 AM

I imagine it’ll be in BBC’s best interest to do some cross promo within their shows!

Also, like 365 said, I really hope they announce at least a deluxe version today and some sort of bundle, vinyl or solo artworks in the near future.

If preorder is up tomorrow it’d be odd of them to not have a Deluxe version. That never happened before... If there is one indeed, I hope they don’t miss the mark on its artwork with a black and white one again.

Posted by: Robbie. 17th September 2020, 12:24 PM

Very excited about the announcement tonight!

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 17th September 2020, 12:25 PM

Surely they need to get some signed bundles and cd’s out there!

Every artist is doing it and doing numerous bundles.

Lady GaGa being another she had loads of bundles and cassettes.

It’s all about maximising profit from each fan these days aka releasing so many different types and ripping us off haha!

Posted by: Tafty 17th September 2020, 12:30 PM

They need to get 5 different slip cases out as HMV Exclusives or something too.

An exclusive new image of the group and a solo one of each member. They used to do that a lot in the mid-noughties iirc!

Posted by: 365 17th September 2020, 12:42 PM

Yeah, basically with everything that's counted so far, I think it really does come down to what formats and bundles Little Mix release tomorrow. If they do similar variations to the last albums (minimal), Kylie will win. If they step it up and do lots of variants, they could beat her.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 17th September 2020, 12:43 PM

The Saturdays did it, I still have all the slipcases with each member on.

They should release signed cd singles too, The Sats did it all the time and I loved having a full set.

Posted by: LMLou 17th September 2020, 02:27 PM

Pre order at 9am tomorrow

Posted by: legendsglory 17th September 2020, 02:28 PM

Yes they announced it yesterday on their newsletter.

Posted by: *Tim 17th September 2020, 02:49 PM

To me it is lmao. My opinion is my opinion, yours is yours. Yours is just wrong xoxo

Where is the team that made covers like Salute, Get Weird and even Break Up Song. Now those were COVERS. This is a Kelly Clarkson sized mess

Posted by: 365 17th September 2020, 03:00 PM

None of those covers are anything special oop. The new one isn't either (don't get me wrong it's cute), but at least it's better than the LM5 black and white mess. Their best is actually the Glory Days Platinum Edition and the LM5 Super deluxe that was hardly used.

Posted by: Wall 17th September 2020, 03:04 PM

Lm5 album cover is so much better.

Holiday and confetti artwork is up there with their worst

Posted by: Court 17th September 2020, 03:07 PM

I love this cover. I wish there was a little less blank space at the top but I love the glitter eye make up.

Posted by: caseclosed 17th September 2020, 03:20 PM

I'm scared that they'll pull a black and white cover for the deluxe version of Confetti, if there is one. That would be insane for an album titled Confetti though.

Also it sucks that their best artwork, which is Glory Days Platinum, is gone from Spotify.

Posted by: jlj 17th September 2020, 03:23 PM

Given that their record company would’ve been aware of Kylie releasing on the same day I think they’ll do whatever they can to try and beat her debut (and LM5s position) with this so we could have more formats. It’s a wonder why they didn’t opt for the 13th if they really wanted the #1 though.

It’s a shame they’re both releasing the same week I can imagine the forums that week too

Posted by: jsweetxe 17th September 2020, 03:29 PM

It depends what labels want though. Before it would have been #1s, but given that today longevity does an act better, they would probably go for that instead, which is why Little Mix tend to release around Christmas.

I do hope it does push them to give us more formats, I know their team doesn't always hop on trends, but I hope the sheer amount of formats/covers/editions is something they do because it can really bode well for them.

Posted by: 365 17th September 2020, 03:56 PM

I am pretty certain the label will be aiming for big first week sales AND longevity, like most should.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 17th September 2020, 04:04 PM

#1’s really aren’t all that anymore, I know labels push for them
All the time but does anyone really care? 3 weeks down the line it’s almost meaningless to anyone but possibly some fans.

Still praying it does exceed LM5’s sales.

Posted by: caseclosed 17th September 2020, 04:09 PM

It’d be an incredible accolade for them to get a #1 album nine years into their career, especially with good sales and in a time most people deem them as a group that should split just because they’re not in their peak anymore. Hopefully the tour sells well.

I like how preorder and tour will both be up for sale right before The Search starts, well done!

Posted by: caseclosed 17th September 2020, 04:17 PM

Someone on ATRL has said there’s just one edition, no deluxe. Welp...

Posted by: Tafty 17th September 2020, 04:23 PM

Wonder what this will be?

*turns out to be the album announcement just on TV instead 🙃*

Posted by: Tafty 17th September 2020, 04:25 PM

oh. It'll be the tour.

Posted by: legendsglory 17th September 2020, 04:45 PM

Surely not? That’s very odd

Posted by: caseclosed 17th September 2020, 04:47 PM

I mean, it seems to be the trend and since they've mentioned they didn't intend on releasing an album originally but managed to have just enough tracks to release one, I wouldn't be surprised.

Posted by: *Tim 17th September 2020, 04:56 PM

True, but at least they look good and somewhat set the tone for the album/songs. I have no idea what to expect with this

Posted by: caseclosed 17th September 2020, 04:57 PM

It tells me gay service and I'm ready for it.

Posted by: Slick 17th September 2020, 05:05 PM

I love the cover. Very different from LM5 in a good way.

Posted by: 365 17th September 2020, 05:24 PM

Yeah they said it would be less rnb inspired and more pop than LM5, but still with some rnb inspired tracks.

Posted by: jsweetxe 17th September 2020, 05:57 PM

See this quote has always come off weird to me, because only Jesy said this iirc? None of the other girls had really said anything and Leigh also confirmed an album coming at the start of the year I believe? Because it was meant to be in Summer.

Jesy isn't the best at staying up to date with their own stuff lol, but even if there is just 1 edition, I imagine they would release a deluxe/whatever for the anniversary, considering Confetti is meant to celebrate.

Posted by: caseclosed 17th September 2020, 05:59 PM

Yeah but I think a deluxe right now could boost their first week sales... Not sure if only one version will do it against Kylie.

Posted by: jsweetxe 17th September 2020, 06:14 PM

Tour starts April 28th in Dublin through to May 29th ending in Manchester, the Confetti tour.

They're partnering with BLM charities for the tour, so money from ticket sales go towards those charities which is really cool!

edit: okay so I assume the Little Mix segment is over? They just announced the tour and even then it felt like an afterthought, the album's name didn't even get a mention unless you count Jade saying "the Confetti tour".. very odd

Posted by: caseclosed 17th September 2020, 06:19 PM

They mentioned it's up for preorder tomorrow and being released on November 6th...

Posted by: JulianNial 17th September 2020, 06:21 PM

Yeh that was underwhelming.

On another note It, It seems like they're going to push the title track as the next single too.

Posted by: caseclosed 17th September 2020, 06:26 PM

Why do you think so?

I'm confused since I've been thinking the Tayla track would be the next single but Confetti doesn't feature her as a writer.

Posted by: JulianNial 17th September 2020, 06:32 PM

Ahh true I got confused, I think it's because of the teaser post with the instrumental says "Confetti" I wasn't sure if it was to tease the song as well as the album. I guess we will see.

Posted by: Mateja 17th September 2020, 06:35 PM

So, they expect Covid-19 to go away by the end of April? This is .... bold.

Posted by: JulianNial 17th September 2020, 06:54 PM

Out here praying for that vaccine.

Posted by: M477h3w 17th September 2020, 06:58 PM

I’d normally buy tickets for LM right away but with Covid I’m holding off for now.

Posted by: Bré 17th September 2020, 09:22 PM

That album cover is a major no. Did they forget the top half of the artwork existed?

Posted by: *Tim 18th September 2020, 12:05 AM

It's weird as every healthcare expert around the world claims a early 2021 vaccine with a monthslong window of vaccinating. What is their team thinking? I mean at least announce it for september 2021. The thirst will be so much bigger

Posted by: 365 18th September 2020, 06:38 AM

It's just so funny because the last 2/3 tours have been a year from the announcement; which felt so odd given it was so far away. Now they finally have a tour that's only 6 months at at the only time where it NEEDS to be a year from now.

Posted by: salutesmix 18th September 2020, 07:57 AM

13 tracks on standard version! of course both break up song and holiday are included

Posted by: jsweetxe 18th September 2020, 08:01 AM

Oh wow! There is a LOT. Coloured cassettes, individual vinyls, signed CDs, these are so pretty

Posted by: 365 18th September 2020, 08:11 AM

Oh my god they've gone IN with the formats more than ever. The space on the vinyl is going to look beaut with the signatures.

Posted by: LewisGT 18th September 2020, 08:19 AM

I pre-ordered the signed bundle. So excited for this

Posted by: 365 18th September 2020, 08:23 AM

The signed bundle is incredible! (Counts for 4 sales too)

The only thing is, is there no way of ordering just one cassette?

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 18th September 2020, 08:23 AM

Got the signed CD and signed Vinyl.

I get it’s what a lot of acts do now but £17 for the signed ‘Special edition CD’ and no standard signed CD is a bit mean.

Posted by: 365 18th September 2020, 08:33 AM

I really wanna get the Jesy, Liegh or Jade bundle, I can't spend too much money...

Posted by: *Tim 18th September 2020, 08:38 AM

Imma need y'all to start posting some.images with ur praise
I wanna celebrate too

That's a mess lmaoo

Posted by: 365 18th September 2020, 08:45 AM

Jesy bundle.




https://store.hmv.com/Store/Music/Vinyl/Confetti-Splatter-Vinyl - HMV have a limited edition exclusive "glitter splatter coloured disc vinyl" too.

Posted by: 365 18th September 2020, 08:57 AM

I can't see a signed CD on its own? Did they take it down?

Posted by: Robbie. 18th September 2020, 08:58 AM

HMV are saying there is also a deluxe edition coming Nov 6th? Maybe a re-release later on?

Yup - HMV are selling a deluxe edition for £14.99.

Posted by: dj_tim_e 18th September 2020, 09:11 AM

Just ordered the HMV splatter vinyl...thanks for that, 365!

Posted by: jsweetxe 18th September 2020, 09:16 AM

Yeah I saw that too.

I wonder if they'll announce it today? I assume they'll tweet about the different things you can pre-order lol but yeah that's definitely a pre-order, for an extra £5, can't imagine that's just Bounce Back and whatever collabs they may have from now until then.

Also just clicked that Bounce Back is not on the tracklist, so yay!

Posted by: 365 18th September 2020, 09:33 AM

I think Bounce Back was more of an add-on to the LM5 era.


The signed CD and signed vinyls are already sold out.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 18th September 2020, 09:34 AM

The signed CD and the signed vinyl are now just standard editions so I’m
Guessing the signed versions have sold out?

Posted by: *Tim 18th September 2020, 09:37 AM

So will the headshot be on the CD only then?

Posted by: 365 18th September 2020, 09:38 AM

That's a vinyl picture disc i think

Posted by: shindymindy 18th September 2020, 09:41 AM

I can see them getting big pre-orders with all these versions.

Interesting chart battle

Posted by: *Tim 18th September 2020, 09:44 AM

Oof, that's too bad for me

Posted by: Tafty 18th September 2020, 10:04 AM

I wonder if they're holding some signed CD's and vinyl back to put back online if there's a close chart battle? (So we essentially have another Dua vs 5SOS battle)

I didnt think they'd "sell out" the signed CDs, I just assumed they'd do it to order so didnt rush

Tempted by the signed bundle (even though I don't have a vinyl player!). But so close to xmas... can I justify it?

Posted by: 365 18th September 2020, 10:10 AM

All acts put up a specific number of signed items - it depends on how many have been signed / how many the artist are scheduled to sign. It's never unlimited.

Posted by: 365 18th September 2020, 10:41 AM

This is the HMV exclusive limited edition one.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 18th September 2020, 10:41 AM

All signed items SOLD OUT

I'm buzzing to see the track list now.

Posted by: jsweetxe 18th September 2020, 11:11 AM

I really wanna know about the HMV deluxe edition? Unless it's an error since nowhere else has mentioned a deluxe, or it could also be a HMV exclusive, which is odd. Are they trying to bring back HMV back from the brink of administration again?

Posted by: Robbie. 18th September 2020, 11:26 AM

Going to be a really interesting chart battle for them I think! Excited!

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 18th September 2020, 12:01 PM

I'm so tempted by the splatter vinyl too it looks beautiful!

Posted by: Tafty 18th September 2020, 12:20 PM

It'll just be the limited edition one they have on their official store.

Posted by: Jade 18th September 2020, 01:21 PM

Decided to get this one

Posted by: Zak 18th September 2020, 01:54 PM

I didn't like the cover/art at first but it looks amazing on all the bundles etc.

I seen someone on twitter saying that the bundles count for multiple sales? Is this true? Could very well help them get a #1 if so.

Posted by: jsweetxe 18th September 2020, 02:03 PM

I doubt they'd sell a sleeved CD for an extra £5 and call it a deluxe edition.

For the standard CDs, this looks very much like what they did for Get Weird, there was a standard CD and then the deluxe came in a "sleeve" or sorts.

Posted by: Tafty 18th September 2020, 02:15 PM

I imagine it'll be like a photo book kinda thing. Kinda like LM5 Deluxe to Super Deluxe, tracklisting the same etc.. but more of a photo book of sorts.

Posted by: jsweetxe 18th September 2020, 03:41 PM

Perrie humming a melody from one of the songs, and people noticed it sounds like an unreleased song Doja Cat was dancing to in one of her insta videos.

How would y'all feel about Little Mix feat. Doja?

Personally I think it would be a blessing for their streaming numbers. Some people also think Lil Nas X could be a feature too based on Jade's collab with his brand, but that's just speculation.

edit:

Japanese Edition has 3 extra tracks, which I'm guessing will be BUS and Holiday acoustics and Bounce Back, although 3 totally new tracks would be gorge

Posted by: 365 18th September 2020, 04:28 PM

I really want a Blackpink or BTS collab on the album.

Posted by: shindymindy 18th September 2020, 05:07 PM

we can dream.... don't think it will happen though

Posted by: caseclosed 18th September 2020, 06:28 PM

I'd love it if they had no collaborations to be honest, especially if the alternative is someone that wouldn't add much to them or the song. No shade to RAYE, Rita etc but it'd just be pointless when there are already four skilled singers in the group.

Regarding BP or BTS I just think they're too big right now to waste hype on a LM collab.

Posted by: masahiro 18th September 2020, 11:22 PM

Probably a remix, but Japanese edition has 3 extra bonus tracks.

Posted by: 365 18th September 2020, 11:45 PM

Straight to 1 on iTunes preorders - above Sam who also put theirs up today.

Posted by: legendsglory 19th September 2020, 05:52 AM

Yessss! It’s definitely gonna be a close battle for #1 but i’m really hoping the girls put some bundles on sale on release week. I really think they could get this, most of the signed albums/bundles sold out in like 15 minutes! And they did go IN with everything. I’m excited to see what else they have planned. So hyped for this

Posted by: shindymindy 19th September 2020, 06:35 AM

This is great

Posted by: shindymindy 19th September 2020, 07:22 AM

45 on Amazon bestsellers already

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 19th September 2020, 07:48 AM

I feel so excited for this album more than I have any other. It feels like such an achievement nearly 10 years into the band.

The live Lounge was amazing, The Show, The glossy album looks amazing.

Love BUS and Holiday and if the third single is the title track I think that could be a total banger.

It's doing amazing, Little Mix are also the top trending topic on itunes.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 19th September 2020, 08:04 AM

Also, Just went to order the HMV Splatter Vinyl but it's now only a coloured vinyl??

Have they changed it or did the splatter version sell out already?

Posted by: caseclosed 19th September 2020, 12:18 PM

I’m so excited about the album too, something about it feels very special, maybe a combination of it being 9 years into their career, after the Syco split etc.

Anyway, are they doing better than Sam on Amazon too?

Credits for every song according to Apple Music:

Track 3: Tayla Parx, Robin Oliver Frid, Morten Ristorp, Brian A. Garcia & Uzoechi Emenike

Posted by: jsweetxe 19th September 2020, 12:22 PM

Writing credits have been extracted from Apple Music;

Track 3: Tayla Parx, Robin Oliver Frid, Morten Ristorp, Brian A. Garcia & Uzoechi Emenike

Track 4: Jesy Nelson, Tom Barnes, Pete Kelleher, Ben Kohn, KAMILLE, Uzoechi Emenike & Maegan Cottone (A Jesy only song with MNEK, her Wasabi is coming!!)

Track 5: Tom Barnes, Pete Kelleher, Ben Kohn, KAMILLE & Uzoechi Emenike (more than likely Confetti, there was a song called Fall For You which had the same writers, although that could be the above song with added writers)

Track 6: Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, Tayla Parx, Robin Oliver Frid & Lara Maria Andersson

Track 7: Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, Warren Okay Felder, Keith Sorrells, James Norton, Sean Douglas & Alex Niceforo (This is Nothing But My Feelings which was registered a few months ago)

Track 8: Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, Peter Rycroft & Maegan Cottone

Track 9: Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, Cass Lowe & Janee Bennett (This is more than likely 'A Mess (Happy 4 U)' which was registered)

Track 10: KAMILLE, Frank Nobel, Linus Nordstrom & James Abrahart (hopefully this is Power 2.0)

Track 11: Tayla Parx, Robin Oliver Frid, Lara Maria Andersson, Luis Traconis Molina, Pablo Beltran Luiz & Norman Gimbel - these are the writers/performers of "Sway", so it's a sample.

Track 12: KAMILLE, Frank Nobel, Linus Nordstrom & Andrew Bullimore

Track 13: KAMILLE, Cass Lowe, Jon Shave, George Astasio & Jason Pebworth

It's nice to see that Jesy wrote a song without the other girls, albeit her only credit. It is odd that the girls don't write on the majority of their songs considering how personal they deem them, but eh, they make it work.

Also what sticks out are no features based on credits.

Posted by: Court 19th September 2020, 12:31 PM

Didn’t they already use sway for American Boy? Seems odd that they would sample the same song twice, especially on consecutive albums.

Posted by: jsweetxe 19th September 2020, 12:39 PM

I don't think it did sample it, did it? There's no official credits or anything

Posted by: legendsglory 19th September 2020, 12:52 PM

Yeah i cant see any features from those credits. Interesting

Posted by: legendsglory 19th September 2020, 01:42 PM

Now up to 32!

Posted by: JulianNial 19th September 2020, 02:13 PM

Weirdly anough I always assumed it sampled Sway, but you're right, it's not credited as a sample, so I think it's a case of it just sounding extremely similar in melody.

Posted by: jsweetxe 19th September 2020, 02:23 PM

Just realised there is no Electric produced song which is.. kinda sad, they’ve worked with Electric constantly since Salute and from Get Weird onwards they produced some of the best songs on the album. (Black Magic, NMSS, Forget You Not) I hope there’s one on the deluxe.

Posted by: caseclosed 19th September 2020, 02:24 PM

Apparently The Search will air every Saturday and Sunday, meaning the finale is on October 25th, which is TERRIBLE news in my opinion, regarding the album release date.

Posted by: jsweetxe 19th September 2020, 02:33 PM

lol The Search was the only thing that justified a Nov 6th release date?? That’s so odd. I can only think that they’re using The Search to build as much as possible and then hope for bigger sales because they’ve been in the public eye every weekend for the last 5 weeks.

Although this does enable them to perform on Strictly during the rollout.

Posted by: caseclosed 19th September 2020, 02:37 PM

Yeah these two tweets made me chill a bit about the schedule.

Posted by: 365 19th September 2020, 03:12 PM

It's not gonna make a massive difference. They'll get loads of pre orders every week running up, will be able to perform the 3rd single a couple of weeks before the album release AND it makes them free to perform on Graham Norton and/or strictly on the album release week.

Posted by: jlj 19th September 2020, 03:20 PM

Yeah, I mean it’s not as though release week was entirely based on The Search being their only form of promo.

What The Search will do is hammer into the publics minds that a new album from them is coming, build up pre orders, build up anticipation, get the public aware of the new music coming from the album too.

Posted by: jsweetxe 19th September 2020, 03:26 PM

When do you guys think the third single will come? I’m banking on next week or the week after, although BlackPink album is out on the 2nd so I’d think they’d wanna avoid it but who knows.

I also think it’ll be Confetti, I imagine they can have a lot of fun with that song if it’s gonna sound how I think.

Posted by: caseclosed 19th September 2020, 03:32 PM

I believe it’ll be the third song in the album, which is not Confetti, according to the writing credits.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 19th September 2020, 04:16 PM

Personally I think the 3rd single will come
In 3 weeks or so?!

I would imagine they’d want holiday out of the top 40 and release a couple of weeks into The Search but who knows?

Posted by: caseclosed 19th September 2020, 05:24 PM

The Search has 5 weeks overall so I imagine they should release the third single either on October 9th or 16th.

But watch them do it on the 23rd right before the finale.

Anyway, it must be a banger. Not a chill one this time, girls.

Posted by: legendsglory 19th September 2020, 06:27 PM

Has anyone here heard the next single yet and know the vibe etc? I really hope its a banger

Posted by: 365 19th September 2020, 06:38 PM

Is it 3 weeks of pre-records abs 2 weeks of lives or 2/3? Does anyone know?

Posted by: jsweetxe 19th September 2020, 08:45 PM

With 6 bands going through to the live shows assuming one elimination per night my guess is that there would be 3 weeks of live shows and 2 weeks of pre-recorded.

Posted by: 365 19th September 2020, 10:11 PM

Ah, well that's 3 weeks of performances then. (6 if we get one each episode).

Holiday, break up song and 3rd single? Great promo.

It's up to 18 on amazon now which is great given the deluxe (special edition) isn't even on there yet and fans would have gotten all the bundles.

Posted by: shadow2009 20th September 2020, 11:34 AM

I'm pretty sure someone said they won't be allowed to promote new music on the show as it would be unfair to other record labels, something similar to Syco not being allowed to just use X-Factor to promote their own artists. I think they're allowed to do covers and their old material?

Posted by: jsweetxe 20th September 2020, 11:50 AM

If they wanna promote their current material they have to involve it within the context of the show. So like, Kylie could only sing Into the Blue on the Voice with her contestants. So I’m guessing any promotion for Confetti we get using The Search is going to be coupled with the contestants.

Although I would love them to delve into their back catalogue and give us performances of songs we haven’t had yet.

Posted by: 365 20th September 2020, 12:08 PM

I don't think that's true though - they have times the release of this album to be around the same time for a reason. (Delayed the album when The Search was delayed etc). For the last time they have already said they're singing songs from the new album on every live show.


Even Strictly contestants have been able to promote new music on their live shows.

Posted by: legendsglory 20th September 2020, 12:36 PM

Now up to #25 on Amazon best sellers (all genres) and #11 on Pop.

Great! Ahead of Sam Smith now too just for context.

Posted by: kye 20th September 2020, 01:36 PM

you are allowed to promote on bbc. they even have people plugging their stuff on ‘pointless’. i mean, graham norton doesn’t get up with the artists each week does he? what context is that used in if that was the case?

it’s also rubbish about syco artists performing on the x factor. that’s on itv, they can do what they like. the only reason they didn’t have syco acts on each week is because, besides little mix at the time, they didn’t have a roster of acts that people would want to see.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 20th September 2020, 01:43 PM

I don't think any of that is true? What about one off specials where an artist will perform a whole current album?

Little Mix surely can just perform what they like as it's their own show?

What's all this about not being fair to other labels? Is releasing 6492394 different versions of a single, reducing albums so low to try and get #1's or exploit fanbases fair?

I'm sure they'll perform BUS, Holiday and the new single FOR SURE alongside some oldies.

Posted by: shindymindy 20th September 2020, 02:51 PM

Just saw that 365 posted in the main forum that apparently LM did 7.1k preorders in the first day!
If true, that’s amazing!!

Posted by: caseclosed 20th September 2020, 02:57 PM

Hopefully they do more signed bundles as they’ll sell quickly, I’m sure.

Let’s hope that The Search keeps their preorders high every weeekend for the next five weeks! How much would you guess they’d do in total?

Posted by: salutesmix 20th September 2020, 02:58 PM

I don't remember if someone already talked about these, but

Did you notice this? Could this be a hint of some lyrics or title track?

And yup, Zara has lately been talking about the girls a lot, some months ago she said they have a song together but she had to decide whether to include it on her forthcoming album or not... Maybe it is on Confetti?

Posted by: legendsglory 20th September 2020, 03:04 PM

Is that from itunes or does that total include everything?

Thats very high! I might have underestimated their first week total..

Posted by: caseclosed 20th September 2020, 03:15 PM

Are their sales usually frontloaded or do they sell well during release week too?

Also I’ve read that a second lockdown in the UK is imminent, wouldn’t that affect their sales a lot? And would that get in the way of their promo?

Posted by: 365 20th September 2020, 03:49 PM

It's from everything. Yes it will be very front-loaded of course, but it's still a very strong start. LM5 did about 19k I think? I am definitely seeing this outdoing LM5's opening sales tbh.

Posted by: legendsglory 20th September 2020, 03:56 PM

Thats a very good start. Im impressed!

What are we expecting for first week sales then. LM5 did 57k right?

Posted by: shindymindy 20th September 2020, 04:28 PM

I think they can clear 65k first week
They will be everywhere and the buzz will be high +they’ll effectively have a pre order sales boost every weekend the search is on.

Posted by: Tafty 20th September 2020, 04:50 PM

That stuff about promoting on BBC is rubbish

Yes, they can't say where you can stream or buy it from but they can tell us they have a new song and album coming out etc..

That pre-order number seems v good! But I've never seen any other first day pre-orders so I can't compare aha. But a lot of acts dont even get that in their first week nowadays. So v promising. I really hope this out performs LM5's first week sales.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 20th September 2020, 06:10 PM

When they say first day pre-orders though, is that the UK figure or worldwide because a lot of people outside the UK were buying bundles and albums from the official store!

Posted by: 365 20th September 2020, 06:45 PM

They've added the deluxe version to amazon now - it's not titled correctly yet though. The standard is now down the 35 while the deluxe is in at 75.

Posted by: Wall 20th September 2020, 06:55 PM

I’m here for Little Mix & Zara

Posted by: ___∆___ 20th September 2020, 10:19 PM

Total - same sign Kylie who has reportedly done 15.8k pre-orders, 50% of which could be to outside of the UK - the same for LM.

Posted by: caseclosed 20th September 2020, 10:48 PM

But sales from their official store which ship from the UK to other countries don’t count for the UK charts? That wouldn’t make that much sense to me. It’s the same as if I bought from the HMV in London and came back to Brazil with the vinyl.

Posted by: ___∆___ 21st September 2020, 08:15 AM

Nope - only items shipped to a UK address count hence why there is always such disparity when a limited edition of say 3,000 are released and sell out and only 1,700 have counted towards its chart position.

Totally agree on your point but if you buy something from a shop and export it they have no way of checking however if you buy online and ship to an address outside of the UK they do. So many ‘lost’ sales for all artists due to this hence why you see a lot of ‘UK Only Exclusives’ now to ensure all copies count as they can only be bought/sent to the UK.

Posted by: 365 21st September 2020, 08:46 AM

Yeah - it's very important when artists are going for a chart battle and do signed copies for them to limit them to the same country. For example. Katy Perry did signed copies on her U.K. store and US stores but 90% of them were bought by international and therefore counted to no charts.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 21st September 2020, 09:53 AM

I think they should of released the cassettes separately too as well as the bundle.

Posted by: caseclosed 21st September 2020, 11:32 AM

Oh, wow! Never knew that... Hopefully most of their shipped to the UK considering how fast they were sold out.

The 7k figure also encompasses all Itunes sales around the globe or just UK?

Just ordered the Amazon signed too as I think thats the standard CD signed...

Hopefully then have the signed special edition, signed vinyl and then the standard

Does anyone know if the signed cd's will just be the LM x signature or a signature of all the girls as usual?

The stock image is showing just the 'LMx' signature it better not be signed like that I'll be fuming!

Posted by: jsweetxe 21st September 2020, 04:55 PM

I believe someone from HMV answered that on twitter and confirmed it would be all 4.

I wanna know what they're doing with this deluxe edition? I can't imagine they're charging an extra £4/£5 just for a sparkly CD case lmao.. surely there has to be extra tracks and they're just pushing the standard edition for now but will introduce the deluxe later?

Posted by: JulianNial 21st September 2020, 05:13 PM

In regards to the Deluxe... they might as well tack on Bounce Back just for the streams?

Posted by: shindymindy 21st September 2020, 06:29 PM

Me too!

Posted by: legendsglory 22nd September 2020, 06:39 AM

This is still #1 on iTunes pre orders. That’s a good sign!

Kylie has dropped down to 33 but i suppose its down to the sales from the bundles now tbh as i imagine that will boost both of them a fair bit.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 22nd September 2020, 09:50 AM

Kylie's been on pre-order for over a month now though and she was #1 for a while in pre-orders...

It really feels like she's sold loads this time around, with the clever tacking the digital album onto the vinyl single etc...

Posted by: caseclosed 22nd September 2020, 02:20 PM

The tweet has now been deleted but Kiss FM UK posted an interview too early in which the interviewer asked them if after Break Up Song and Holiday had themes, they had a theme for the new single Sweet Melody.

Posted by: jsweetxe 22nd September 2020, 02:58 PM

Twitter stans are saying there's a music video filmed too but I'm not believing that part due to it being.. you know.. twitter stans.

Hopefully it'll be a midtempo, they'll smash with a autumn/winter midtempo.

Posted by: jlj 22nd September 2020, 03:02 PM

I think they’re well overdue a ballad release tbh! A ballad coming as a single as it gets to the winter months could be perfect for them.

Posted by: caseclosed 22nd September 2020, 03:04 PM

I think a ballad would sell the album well but I think I'd rather have a bop again...

Posted by: Frenchie 22nd September 2020, 03:08 PM

I'd rather an uptempo track which they could slay a performance of on The Search.

Posted by: caseclosed 22nd September 2020, 03:10 PM

I love the beat they teased on this tweet as it reminds me of Cassie's Me & U. Not sure how this one would turn out live though.

Posted by: 365 22nd September 2020, 03:28 PM

I think a sugary song like Break Up Song would be best for the album release right now tbh. A song like smooth mid tempo would do better on streaming but not well for album pre-orders.

Touch is a good middle ground between the two so maybe something like that.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 22nd September 2020, 03:56 PM

Sweet Melody sounds like a dreadful song title.

I was hoping it would be the song ft. Doja Cat

Posted by: caseclosed 22nd September 2020, 04:02 PM

That rumoured feature with Doja Cat is based on the melody Perrie hummed in an interview which belongs to Confetti the track going by the bit she sang yesterday. It probably doesn't even exist...

Posted by: jsweetxe 22nd September 2020, 04:04 PM

Wasn’t that eventually revealed not to be true? Someone found the song Doja was dancing to apparently.

Posted by: caseclosed 22nd September 2020, 05:00 PM

I hope they don't release next Friday since Spotify will be packed with Blackpink's album tracks just like it was with Folklore's on Holiday's release.

Posted by: caseclosed 22nd September 2020, 06:18 PM

Doesn't sound like a ballad to me.

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 22nd September 2020, 06:23 PM

Blackpink won't do nearly well as Taylor on streaming, I don't think it'll make much of a difference.

Posted by: legendsglory 22nd September 2020, 06:33 PM

They might have a good debut but i cant see it lasting long. Their songs always tend to drop so quick anyways.

Posted by: 365 22nd September 2020, 09:55 PM

Yeah Blackpink in the U.K. won't be anywhere near the hype vacuum Taylor created on Holiday's release day.

Posted by: 1hit1der 22nd September 2020, 10:11 PM

I can't get over Perrie's disappointment with the Holiday MV

The girls are about to serve us CHOREO!

Posted by: caseclosed 22nd September 2020, 10:44 PM

Won't even get my hopes up for choreo, we haven't had that since Touch and they're not crystal clear on the video above. Who knows if they somehow think we miss them acting and we get another video with farts.

Although to be honest RCA probably wouldn't give them the budget necessary for the farts.

Posted by: 365 22nd September 2020, 11:27 PM

The need a stripped back, well lit studio video like Zara's Love Me Land.

Posted by: 365 23rd September 2020, 09:08 AM

I got some great seats for """may""". Sneaky witches trying to get me to add Confetti to my basket.

Think I've posted this everywhere now so hopefully no one misses out this time

Posted by: jlj 23rd September 2020, 11:16 AM

K Pop acts like BLACKPINK (and even BTS) are way bigger on YouTube than anything else aren’t they.

And in the UK I don’t think BLACKPINK would be a threat to Little Mix, LM are way way bigger here!

Posted by: Jo' 23rd September 2020, 03:16 PM

Do you have a link where we can see iTunes pre-order charts ? Thanks

Posted by: legendsglory 23rd September 2020, 07:10 PM

I really really hope they manage to get that #1 spot..

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 23rd September 2020, 07:16 PM

I do but you do have to be realistic and it will be a massive challenge!

Posted by: 365 23rd September 2020, 07:46 PM

It's not that massive. It's a tight and exciting race I think!

Posted by: shindymindy 23rd September 2020, 07:53 PM

Agreed - it could go either way

Posted by: legendsglory 23rd September 2020, 08:11 PM

Oh yeah it will be a challenge, not a massive one though! It’s definitely possible. I honestly think it all depends on what they have planned for release week. They need to go IN and do promo/performances on every show possible tbh.. I imagine BBC will be extra keen to promote them so they could do The One Show, Graham Norton or Strictly? Hopefully! I imagine their team will go in for release week anyways to attempt to win the battle lol.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 23rd September 2020, 10:59 PM

I think it will be a tight battle with kylie, it's no secret I really want kylie to get the number 1 as it potentially could be a historic number 1 for her as she would be the first to have a number 1 album in 5 consecutive decades, usually I'd be all for little mix going number 1 so hopefully they climb to number 1 in any other week

Posted by: 365 23rd September 2020, 11:10 PM

Confetti has been #1 on iTunes since Friday. I wonder if I can make it a week?

Posted by: Tafty 24th September 2020, 02:29 PM

Getting a week at number 1 on pre-orders... amazing.

Posted by: jsweetxe 24th September 2020, 03:12 PM

Unless Sam or Steps (or You Me At Six) do something bigger in terms of promo I can't see Confetti leaving the #1 pre-orders spot for a while, and I think by then single #3 will be out.

Posted by: shindymindy 24th September 2020, 03:21 PM

I've been impressed seeing it at number 1 all week

Posted by: WhoOdyssey 24th September 2020, 03:23 PM

Where can you find the pre-orders chart?

Posted by: 365 24th September 2020, 03:25 PM

On iTunes.

Posted by: legendsglory 24th September 2020, 04:25 PM

Kylie has overtook this on the pre order charts but it will probably just be because she released a single today.

Posted by: shindymindy 24th September 2020, 04:30 PM

Just as we were saying it's been nice to see LM on top for a whole week....

Posted by: 365 24th September 2020, 04:30 PM

Ah, I thought she might. At least they managed pretty much a week there. It'll be interesting to see if Little Mix get back up after the show.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 24th September 2020, 06:14 PM

I'm actually so excited to see what sort of impact the show is going to have on itunes and the album..

I have a feeling it might give good boosts to random LM songs if they are used in the show.

Posted by: caseclosed 24th September 2020, 09:31 PM

Perrie has just posted on her story that they shot the video for the third single today and going by the video she teased in which a woman says she need s a chiropracter I think it's safe to assume there was dancing involved? I'll wait until I see it though. Don't want to be disappointed. But it's exciting. I'd live for a video that's 100% choreo!

Posted by: jsweetxe 25th September 2020, 08:31 AM

lmao. predictions are not my thing.

anyway, I think they'll easily get the #1 preorder back once they make a move with the next single, Kylie was literally down in the 15-20s area, so I doubt her numbers are massively high, but I think with the tour now officially on sale and presale done, and the video filming done they'll probably look to start making album moves. I hope the tracklist comes soon.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 25th September 2020, 09:14 AM

I don’t want to be negative but Kylie is selling huge numbers due to fans going in on Multiple formats.

She’s been up for pre-order a lot longer too.

Posted by: 365 25th September 2020, 09:56 AM

Kylie was one 16.5k on Thursday week when little mix's were one 10.2k after one week.

Posted by: 365 25th September 2020, 10:20 AM

Another batch of Confetti (Amazon exclusive signed CD) https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08JMNMYP2/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_RqCBFbCXXGZ3X

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 25th September 2020, 10:47 AM

Those figures don't seem bad at all.

It would be amazing if they could do over 50k in the first week.

Regardless of a #1 I just really hope it smashes it's first week in sales as sales are SO POOR lately.

Posted by: caseclosed 25th September 2020, 11:54 AM

Posted by: shindymindy 25th September 2020, 02:11 PM

This is good
I think LM will have more pre-orders than Kylie by the 6th Nov.

Posted by: shindymindy 25th September 2020, 02:12 PM

Out of stock again - these are selling out really quickly each time

Posted by: 365 25th September 2020, 02:41 PM

There was more than 1000 copies this time.

Posted by: legendsglory 25th September 2020, 02:52 PM

Wow. They sold out so quick!

Posted by: shindymindy 25th September 2020, 04:15 PM

LM5 had 19k preorders right?

This will defo beat that - I think it could get close to 30k preorders

Posted by: 365 25th September 2020, 05:07 PM

I think 30 is a bit ambitious but 25kish might be doable!

Posted by: legendsglory 25th September 2020, 05:16 PM

Yeah im thinking around 20-25k pre orders but i have a strong feeling it will beat LM5's opening sales too. Maybe 60-65k?

Posted by: jsweetxe 25th September 2020, 06:03 PM

60k+ would be insane for a sixth album with no “smash”. But I think it’s possible? Those Get Weird numbers half a decade later 🥵

Posted by: legendsglory 26th September 2020, 09:48 AM

Now #4 on iTunes pre orders. Kylie is #3.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 26th September 2020, 09:58 AM

I'm so interested to see if just the show being shown over the weekend will have a boost on the album.

Hype alone might help the album but obviously the most impact will come from them performing in the live shows.

Posted by: legendsglory 26th September 2020, 10:04 AM

Yeah i guess The Search will (hopefully) get their name properly out there again and make more people aware that an album is coming as i’m sure they will find a way to mention it lol, probably in the live shows but then again that’s when i feel like it will have the biggest impact anyway.

Also i guess pre orders after the first day/week don’t really count for much so the iTunes position doesn’t really mean anything.

Posted by: salutesmix 26th September 2020, 11:11 AM

They discounted Confetti on iTunes, this is a good move since Little Mix will have a lot of exposure with The Search

Posted by: 365 26th September 2020, 12:43 PM

It still says 9.99 for me?

Posted by: Frenchie 26th September 2020, 12:46 PM

For me, in the preorder chart it still says £9.99 but when I go to the album it says £8.01 which is a bit at a random price.

Posted by: legendsglory 26th September 2020, 12:49 PM

Not discounted for me?

Posted by: shindymindy 26th September 2020, 12:56 PM

Did you buy the singles?
If so, they’ve taken the price of both of them off the price - I think it’s called ‘complete the album’ or something like that

Posted by: Frenchie 26th September 2020, 12:58 PM

Ah yeah, that makes sense.

Posted by: 365 26th September 2020, 03:42 PM

A look at things before the show airs.

I have no idea if any songs will be used in anyway or how much their hits will be referenced so I have no idea what kind of effect this will have but...

Amazon:
Deluxe: 81
Standard: 91

(Amazon keep switching between the standard and deluxe as to what shows up when you search which is a mess)

iTunes:
26 Little Mix Holiday
115 Little Mix Holiday
158 Little Mix Break Up Song
216 Little Mix Break Up Song
577 Little Mix - Shout Out to My Ex

iTunes Pre-orders
4. Confetti

Posted by: caseclosed 26th September 2020, 08:04 PM

Has it had any effect?

Posted by: 365 26th September 2020, 08:55 PM

Pre order charts take about 6 hours to update

Posted by: caseclosed 27th September 2020, 09:58 AM

I feel like expectations on how much the show will help Confetti’s debut sales need to be readjusted now.

Posted by: legendsglory 27th September 2020, 10:30 AM

Not yet. I will change my predictions if the figures including iPlayer etc are still bad.

I just hope this doesnt affect the album debut sales too much?.. They will still probably get good BBC promo on release week and i imagine their pre orders will be going up due to the show anyways.

I dont look into TV ratings that much so i dont have much knowledge.
