Single 3: monster in me - it'd be good to see them release a full on ballad asf glory days singles lacked any ballads and I can see this going low top 10
Single 4: wasabi - with a BGT performance I can see this performing similar to power, it's holding up so well on streaming atm, is a fan fave and is an out there choice but I can see it working
Single 5: forget you not - pushed start of August, with a feature, and I can see this doing similar to reggaeton lento. Again another fan fave and it only being on the deluxe will probs help it
Single 6: more than words - if FYN is a hit I'd follow it up with this with maybe a couple of performances and a low-key video, nothing massive but like an end of an era closer singls

Well, thanks for completing the form for me xx

Haha.

Just for variance I also have the alternative of:

03. The Cure
04. Wasabi
05. Forget You Not > A Summer remix of this would be FIYAH. In fact not even a rapper, get Calvin Harris or Clean Bandit or Cedric Gervais etc.. to remix it or something <
06. Monster In Me

omg Jonjo The Cure was the one that screamed "obvious single" to me so I wonder how it would do interchanged with Think About Us

What I Want:
S2: Think About Us (November/December - mid February) - idk how this will manage with the holiday freeze but there have been multiple singles that managed to smash after getting halted by that. I did think the Glory Days era was missing that Little Me-esque belter anthem but this is a nice marriage between that and a sound similar to Touch/NMSS.
S3: Wasabi (mid-March - late May) - Probably a nice spring single that ends up getting one of the best videos of the era. It would be a nice switch-up from Think About Us.
S4: Motivate (Spanglish remix with Natti Natasha or someone of that caliber, Summer 2019) - idk it's just giving me I Like It teas and why not capitalize on that with a suitable remix. Ideally this would give them another opportunity to break into the US market.
S5: The Cure (Fall 2019) - as some kind of NMSS type single that peaks somewhere in the top 15 but doesn't do much afterwards. Helps move album sales while they go on tour.

It will probably end up with The Cure/Wasabi switched (if it comes close to this production) but it depends on how much profitable impact they want the album to have in the long run.

Single 1, October - November: Woman Like Me
Single 2, December - January/February: Think About Us

Single 3, February/March - April: Monster In Me - I think they've not done a ballad in ages and this one screams hit. I reckon they could get an easy top 15/12 hit with this if they performed it somewhere and showed off their vocals.
Single 4, May - June/July (Performed on BGT): Wasabi - I like that Think About Us has no feature and I think single 3 should be the same, but I think Wasabi might need a feature given it's so short. Someone like Stormzy again could really turn it into a smash.
Single 5, July/August - September: Forget You Not Again, being at the end of the campaign, this might need a feature or remix so that it doesn't flop, but I think this sounds deliciously summery.

Woman Like Me
The Cure
Think About Us
Wasabi, Love a Girl Right, American Boy, Motivate could all work as a summer single with the right video/feature

Yeah, pretty much this. 'Wasabi' and 'Forget You Not' are begging to be released, and 'Monster In Me' would make a cute Winter single. 'More Than Words' could also fill that role.

It's crazy how many potential singles there are on this album. 'Motivate', 'American Boy', 'The Cure' and 'Love a Girl Right' would also be viable choices. Having said that, I do hope they take into account the fan favourites again like they did with GD; NMSS being chosen over obvious smash (yet objectively terrible) 'Oops' was such justice. Otherwise I can't see them opting for 'Forget You Not', given that it's a deluxe track.

1. Woman Like Me
2. Think About Us
3. The Cure (would prefer Strip but seems it'll stay a promo single :/ )
4. Monster in Me (grown on me a bit, but still not a fan, but I can see it working as a single)
5. Wasabi (remix) - perfect ending to an era, as this is bound to smash

01 Woman Like Me
02 Think About Us
03 The Cure
04 Joan Of Arc (remix featuring Stefflon Don or whoever the flavour of 2019 may be)

I don’t think eras really survive lasting 5 singles anymore when they’re as established as Little Mix.

After sitting with the album for a few weeks, 'Monster In Me', 'Wasabi' and 'Forget You Not' still stand out as obvious choices. I reckon they'll definitely go for 'Wasabi' due to its streaming performance (and especially if they're canning 'Strip'), but I'm not convinced the other two will get released. They'll probably opt for 'The Cure' in terms of ballads, and obviously FYN is (inexplicably) a deluxe track. I hope I'm wrong, I really want them to continue their flawless singles streak.

I agree with you tbh. I can also see them releasing Told You So.

We need to point out to them that 'Super Bass' was a deluxe track and that it's ok to make 'Forget You Not' a single!!!
