BuzzJack Music Forum _ Little Mix _ COMPLETE: Jonjo's Top 50 • Little Mix Songs

Posted by: Jonjo 27th March 2019, 09:25 PM

I have managed to get a playlist together after having a FULL DISCOGRAPHY sesh of our girls. This playlist are songs by Little Mix, that I love.

I've managed to (somehow) dwindle it down to a top 50!

Hoping to start tomorrow. Can I get some hype and predictions please biggrin.gif

(Mini spoiler: turns out I love a good girl group ballad! *.*)

Posted by: Jade 27th March 2019, 10:32 PM

HYPE *.* I have a huge soft spot for a lot of their ballads too, especially from the early albums!

Posted by: 365 27th March 2019, 10:36 PM

Hype for this!

You Gotta Bop to win!

Yyaasss. Expect the earlier ones to appear (fairly high).

YGN may or may not enter, Joe. ohmy.gif

For the most part, I have put the remixes with the originals (unless stated otherwise). But if they're completely different, both may enter individually! (Mainly Secret Love Song)

Yas, so here for this. 'Towers' to win.

I thought I saw you reveal what your favourite is in the eliminator. tongue.gif

The least fave singles polls? ohmy.gif

This countdown is EVERYTHING though.. ;D

Posted by: Jonjo 28th March 2019, 08:14 PM

46 - 50

46. I Love You [Get Weird]
47. Change Your Life [DNA]
48. Competition [Salute]
49. See Me Now [Salute]
50. Dear Lover [Glory Days: Platinum Edition]

~~~

In this block we see the stunning I Love You. A song that should be cringey and cheesy, but is actually really stunning and cute. Change Your Life is next and say what you want, I love a good empowering mid-tempo, ballad. Up next is Competition which doesn't have much going for it production wise, but it's very catchy and gets stuck in your head really easily. Another 'Salute' track drops out next as we lose See Me Now, a song about empowerment but in a more sassy way and finally we have the underrated Glory Days Platinum Edition track Dear Lover a song that I feel got over shadowed by the (admittedly superior) bonus tracks.

Posted by: Defaze 28th March 2019, 09:08 PM

All stellar tracks (except CYL, which is a bit meh).

I low-key hated 'Dear Lover' when I heard its snippet but the finished product is lush. The production is such a huge step-up from the standard GD.

'I Love You' is probably my favourite non-single from Get Weird and I don't think it's an unpopular opinion when I say 'Competition' 1000% should've been released instead of 'Word Up' for Comic relief.

Posted by: Jonjo 29th March 2019, 07:35 PM

41 - 45

41. Always Be Together [DNA: The Deluxe Edition]
42. DNA (Unplugged) [DNA: The Deluxe Edition]
43. Woman's World [LM5]
44. Shout Out To My Ex (Acoustic) [Glory Days: The Platinum Edition]
45. Strip (feat. Sharaya J) [LM5]

~~~

We kick off the next selection with Always Be Together one of the pure, bubblegum pop songs from DNA. Such a cute, anthemic number. It feels like a lot of people brush past this </3. I told y'all I literally have EVERYTHING in this countdown haha so we see a couple of "unplugged" and acoustic entries fall out in this section starting with the beautiful DNA - Unplugged where their harmonies REALLY shine. Woman's World is next at #48 and it's been quite the grower for me. It's the maturer and better half of 'Little Me' imo. Stunning lyrics! Up next is the Shout Out To My Ex - Acoustic Version, not gonna lie though, had they recorded/used the paper penthouse version of the song, it probs woulda been top 10 and then finally we have the love/hate Strip one of their mostbdaring and original songs in their entire back catalogue imo. I think this would've worked well as the 2nd single as there is just something ridiculously addictive about it.

Posted by: 365 29th March 2019, 08:48 PM

I stan Dear Lover so much.

Posted by: Jonjo 21st April 2019, 07:05 PM

36 - 40

36. Good Enough [Salute]
37. Red Planet (feat. T-Boz) [DNA]
38. Motivate [LM5]
39. Down & Dirty [Glory Days]
40. How Ya Doin'? (feat. Missy Elliott) [DNA: The Deluxe Edition]

~~~

Into the top 40 we go and a#36 we have the mega power ballad Good Enough from the girls 2nd album. An emotional ballad that seems to get praise and YT reaction videos of their live performance on their 'Salute' tour. Red Planet is next and that song features TLC member T-Boz and carried on the ethereal pop sound of songs like E.T., Dark Horse and the girls very own DNA. The underrated anthem of LM5 Motivate is at #38. This song gives me such an adrenaline rush whenever I listen to it. Really excited and hoping we get to see this performed on the LM5 tour! Down & Dirty is SO under appreciated and gets far too much hate. It's SO good and such a moment live too and finally in the top 40 is a new admiration for How Ya Doin'? the single mix feat. Missy Elliott. It's aged so, SO well!

Posted by: Jonjo 21st April 2019, 07:35 PM

31 - 35

31. Reggaetón Lento [Glory Days: The Platinum Edition]
32. If I Get My Way [Glory Days: The Platinum Edition]
33. Hair (feat. Sean Paul) [Get Weird]
34. Stereo Soldier [DNA]
35. Weird People [Get Weird]

~~~

Just missing the top 30 we have the huge hit Reggaetón Lento which is a remixed version of Latin group CNCO's big smash. The girls appearance helped the song crossover in the English speaking territories in a huge way. Such a banger. If I Get My Way is an incredibly infectious mid-tempo reggaetón infused pop track which was one of the bonus tracks on the repackaged version of their Glory Days album. At #33 is a song that really made no sense to me as to why it was chosen as a single over some of the other Get Weird tracks but what the girls seem to have a habit of making the non-obvious choice of singles... work and Hair was absolutely no exception. The single mix amd video completely sold it as a single to me. Next is a should've been a single, Stereo Soldier. It seemed to foreshadow what the girls were going to attempt with their 2nd album very well. A good thing coz it's always been considered a fan fave I think. Finally, Weird People is another song that really should/could have been a single. The utter pop joy and overall 80's feel of it all just worked in it's favour so much. A video would've been so much fun and it POPPED OFF on tour!

Posted by: Jade 27th April 2019, 09:23 PM

Yesssss 'Red Planet' love wub.gif I had a full on obsession with that song when the album came out and it's held up really well over the years <3

A great start to this so far, Jonjo.

21 - 30

21. Black Magic [Get Weird]
22. Shout Out To My Ex [Glory Days: The Platinum Edition]
23. Nothing Else Matters [Glory Days: The Platinum Edition]
24. Touch (Acoustic Version) [Glory Days: The Platinum Edition]
25. Move [Salute]
26. Only You (Cheat Codes x Little Mix) [LM5]
27. Think About Us [LM5]
28. Is Your Love Enough? [Glory Days: The Platinum Edition]
29. Woman Like Me (feat. Nicki Minaj) [LM5]
30. Your Love [Glory Days: The Platinum Edition]

~~~

Let's continue, shall we? laugh.gif

Just missing out on the top 20 at #21 is the song that quite literally, saved their career and prevented them from becoming one of the usual X Factor winners, by disappearing and fading to obscurity after the 2nd album. Black Magic is one of the most recognisable pop hits of the Decade. It's just ALL OUT pure pop fun and that is literally it. That is apparently all the GP wanted. Shout Out To My Ex is at #22! The girls biggest hit to date and another all out pop banger. Those two songs are also responsible for 2 of their absolute BEST performances from the BRITs. The anthemic Nothing Else Matters is at #23. It's such a huge song and they do these care free, anthemic, euphoric pop anthems really well! At #24 is the acoustic version to the masterpiece Touch. I just LOVE the complete change to the all out club banger that we're used to, with this. Their vocals are a SERVE and I get slayed by how delicate yet powerful they are in this. BEAUTIFUL. Move ends up as the song that is at our half-way point. I love this, but I always forget just HOW MUCH I love it until I play it. It's an infectious, dancefloor bop. It was such a risky choice of lead single and is their most daring single to date. I'm so happy it paid off for them!

At #26 is the single that bridged the gap between Glory Days: Platinum Collection & LM5, Only You. It's their first collaboration with dance producers and I actually feel like this is really underrated. It's such a cute bop and I find it infectious and catchy. Their performance of this song at their iTunes event breaks my heart. Jade! </3 Up next is the second single from LM5, Think About Us. Idc how "safe" and "predictable" this song is, it's a banger. I'm gutted that it's their lowest peaking single, but that's what happens when promo for it is all over the place! Ugh. Is Your Love Enough? follows next at #28. One of the songs recorded for the re-issue of Glory Days and it was heavily rumoured to be the 6th release from that era and I'm really gutted they didn't go through with it! It would've been huge. Woman Like Me is next at #29 and it's a bop. It was quite surreal seeing that they actually managed to bag a collaboration with a long-time fave of theirs, and I love it. It's also my favourite video of theirs to date. wub.gif Finally, we have the stunning and smooth, Summer vibing, 'Your Love'. I feel like this gets forgotten about a lot, but I love it. It's just so beautifully smooth and slick and it's SO GOOD to hear Leigh-Anne shine!

Posted by: Jordan Lee 26th June 2019, 03:38 PM

Nice list so far smile.gif

I’m gonna have to listen to their albums in full and think of my own rate. I’ve been thinking in my head of my own

I’m quite unfamiliar with DNA and Salute as albums. I loved Towers from Salute though wub.gif


I’m feeling like the win might go to Secret Love Song by the opening post sleep.gif

Posted by: Jonjo 1st July 2019, 04:28 PM

As we head into the top 20 (and a new page kink.gif) here are some stats about what is to come in the countdown.

DNA: 3 Tracks (1 Single)
Salute: 5 (1 Single)
Get Weird: 5 (2 Singles)
Glory Days: 3 (3 Singles)
LM5: 4 (0 Singles)

Any predictions?? biggrin.gif

Posted by: Jonjo 1st July 2019, 04:40 PM

20: Madhouse
Taken from the album: DNA



> Into the top 20 we go and we come to the 2nd highest 'DNA' album track in the countdown (and 3rd from that album overall). 'Madhouse' has always been a huge highlght from the album for me. The production is wacky & crazy and suits the theme of the song perfectly. I could definitely see a sequel to the 'DNA' video for this song had they opted for this as the 3rd single from the album. So good. <

---

19: Power
Taken from the album: Glory Days: Platinum Edition



> Up next we have the final single from the first release of 'Glory Days', 'Power'. This complete ANTHEM really pops off in a live setting. Every performance sees the girls take it to the next level. It's really anthemic and just ridiculously catchy. It always stood out on the album due to how different it was for both the girls and just a pop song in general. It really makes an impact and leaves a lasting impression. I really like the Stormzy feature on the single release too! His rap is brilliant. It's also one of their very best videos to date too! <

Posted by: Jonjo 2nd July 2019, 03:06 PM

18: Nothing Feels Like You
Taken from the album: Salute: Deluxe Edition



> At #18 is a track from their 2nd album, 'Salute'. 'Nothing Feels Like You' has a sound that kinda sums up the Salute era for me, as it has that marching band type sound in the production and it really elevates the kinda of RnB-Pop sound they were attempting back then. A very catchy song too with a melodic chorus. An underrated gem on the 'Salute' album. <

---

17: A Different Beat
Taken from the album: Salute: Deluxe Edition



> Next is another 'Salute' album track and this time it's the song that Jade really wanted to push as a single, iirc. 'A Different Beat' has the feisty-ness that we have come to know and adore from the girls, that marching band sound in the production and an insanely catchy hook. It's not hard to see why fans (and Jade) wanted it as a single from the album. An almighty bop and an instant highlight from the album! <

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd July 2019, 07:40 AM

I will hopefully be continuing this tonight. I plan to finish this by next year x

Posted by: Jonjo 1st August 2019, 11:31 AM

16: Turn Your Face
Taken from the album: DNA: The Deluxe Edition



> I love a good, big pop ballad. Turn Your Face is the most "mature" and it was the first big, soaring power ballad the girls attempted and I feel like it hugely paid off for them. It packs such an emotional punch and the girls vocals all absolutely soar on it. I think it would've worked so well as a single. I hope the girls revisit this in a live performance someday. It's stunning. Especially Leigh & Perrie's middle 8! <3 <

---

15: Love Me Like You
Taken from the album: Get Weird



> We head into the top 15 now and kicking us off is this storming, 60's inspired, throwback bop, Love Me Like You. It seems to be the norm that all girl groups "must" perform a 60's/retro throwback bop at some point in their careers (Spice Girls - Stop, Stooshe - Black Heart, Girls Aloud - The Promise, Sugababes entire Catfights & Spotlights era etc...) and tbh why wouldn't they? They seem to bop and stand out in each artists respective catalogues, but Love Me Like You also gave us one of LM's very best performances on X Factor UK wub.gif Just a sing-along, feel good pop anthem. <

Posted by: Jonjo 1st August 2019, 11:41 AM

14: Monster In Me
Taken from the album: LM5



> As I said multiple times before... a powerful ballad is sometimes all I need and want and Monster In Me from the girls most recent album firmly ticks that box. Possibly the girls at their most mature yet. It really should've been the big winter ballad single. Such a missed opportunity. The girls vocals are perfect on this and Perrie's ad-libs at the end are gorgeous <3 Should have been a single, for SURE! <

---

13: The Cure
Taken from the album: LM5



> "Always Be Together", "Change Your Life", "Towers", "Weird People", "Nothing Else Matters" and we can now add this to this list. Those huge pop songs about being there for each other and embracing what makes you unique and uplifts you in the best way possible. The girls really excel at these types of songs and The Cure shows no signs of the girls losing their touch with them. What a euphorically uplifting piece of pop that would've worked as a single. Their iTunes Festival performance of this is so cute. <

Posted by: Jordan Lee 1st August 2019, 11:44 AM

I LOVE both Monster In Me and The Cure heart.gif

Both huge missed opportunities what I feel would’ve really helped LM5 albums sales wise.

Love Me Like You though is in their lower tier singles for me. I dunno why it never really clicked.

Posted by: Jonjo 1st August 2019, 11:56 AM

12: Lightning
Taken from the album: Get Weird



> At #12 is 'DNA' (song) sequel. Many of the fans wanted this song to get the single treatment, to continue the "to be continued" that we had on DNA's video. Alas, that was not meant to be. But this was an instant highlight for many since first listen. Such a powerful pop song and the drop was unexpected and threw many people off at first. One of their most daring songs, I think. The performance of it on the Get Weird tour is absolute KILLER. One of the best things I've witnessed from a tour performance. The production! The budget! INSANE <

---

11: Forget You Not
Taken from the album: LM5



> Just before we head into the top 10 we have Forget You Not. Taken from the deluxe version (!) of their most recent album LM5. A MASSIVE fan favourite and a song that many want to be a single. Just imagine this song being blasted out in the middle of Summer and dominating the charts???? An almighty club pop banger. The "banga-bang-bang" hook would easily go viral and go OFF in a club. Furthermore to this being "just a deluxe track" (actual WTF at that!!) but the girls have more or less confirmed it won't be performed on their upcoming LM5 tour (!!!!) it bugged the fans so much that there is a petition going around and the girls themselves have asked for us to push for it. <

I feel like MIM and TC would definitely have lifted album sales. Even more so than the likes of Wasabi and Forget You Not as I think they would appeal to a wider audience/the heart FM and Radio 2 listeners etc..

Such a missed opportunity, but it's unfortunate that the girls were in the position they were in just before the album was released. UGH. Messing everything up and label politics coming into play etc.. drama.gif

Posted by: Jonjo 1st August 2019, 12:06 PM

So we are about to hit the top 10 (FINALLY! laugh.gif Sorryyyyy kink.gif)

STATS about the top 10 [And what we lost in the Top 20]:

DNA: 1 Track (1 Single) [-2]
Salute: 3 (1 Single) [-3]
Get Weird: 3 (1 Single) [-1 (1 x Single)]
Glory Days: 2 (2 Singles) [-1 (1 x Single)]
LM5: 1 (0 Singles) [-3]

Any predictions? Thank you for the comments so far. (P.s if y'all ever wanna do this or another Little Mix related countdown just start your own biggrin.gif)

Posted by: Jade 1st August 2019, 12:12 PM

Omg YES 'Lightning' placing so high for you! Watching live tour performances of it genuinely gives me chills wub.gif So gutted that I didn't quite get to experience that song live, as the two times I've seen them were during the DNA era (too early!) and Glory Days one (too late!). I agree that the production is fantastic and I love the orchestral-esque vocal parts in it too. Those parts always take me back to the operatic moment in 'DNA' just before the final chorus and that is my favourite Little Mix song, so makes sense why I love this too!

'Monster In Me' is my favourite slower moment on 'LM5' <3 definitely a missed single opportunity there.

Oh no! That's really unfortunate. It was a real moment on tour and one of my favourite individual performances I've ever experienced live. SO good. Those vocals you talk about are my favourite moments in the song. It really ups the theatrics on the song and the performance. Stunning. wub.gif

Posted by: Jordan Lee 1st August 2019, 03:09 PM

Lightning is amazing!!!!

Better than many of their singles for me and I’d probably say it’s my favourite non single from them from any era.

Like if I could go back in time and give something single treatment it would be that!


For the top 10 I’m feeling like Touch could place highly.
Secret Love Song.
Salute
Maybe Wasbai from LM5.

CANCELLED.

Posted by: Jonjo 2nd August 2019, 12:57 PM

10: These Four Walls
Taken from the album: Salute



> Into the top 10 we go and to kick us off is the beautifully, heartbreaking These Four Walls. It's an incredibly emotional song about the loss of someone close. Whether that is a break up or a death, any kind of loss. It features just a simple piano backing with delicate, vulnerable and towards the end, powerful harmonies. With a couple of performances of it on Surprise Surprise and This Morning, the song managed to actually chart at #57 in the UK. It's the girls at their most vulnerable and fragile. I don't know if they will get much closer to those feelings than this. So heartbreaking and simple but oh so powerful! Been a fave since first listen. Stunning. <

Posted by: Jade 2nd August 2019, 01:01 PM

'Salute' houses quite a few beautiful ballads and that's definitely one of them <3 As much as I like 'Little Me', I do wish that or 'Towers' had been the ballad single instead.

Posted by: Jonjo 2nd August 2019, 01:14 PM

09: Love Me Or Leave Me
Taken from the album: Get Weird



> At #9 is another piano-led ballad. It has some of the best vocals I've heard in a long time from a girl group. Is it Perrie who steals the song? No. Jade? No. Jesy? No. Leigh-Anne? ABSO-FUCKING-LUTELY! Her vocals really improved through the Get Weird era and this track I feel like was peak Leigh! ASTOUNDING. I love a good emotional girl group power ballad and this is up there as one of my absolute favourites. Breathtaking. Just so powerful and emotional! Stunning. <

Agreed completely! I get that the girls love the message in Little Me, but as a song I dunno, it just feels a bit boring and quite basic in comparison to those two. I'm so glad we got 'Towers' on the 'Salute' tour though, but was upset it was at the expense of TFW! sad.gif

Posted by: Jonjo 2nd August 2019, 01:53 PM

08: DNA
Taken from the album: DNA: The Deluxe Edition



> Up next is the girls 2nd single from their debut album of the same name, DNA. DNA is an electro-tinged, atmospheric, synth-pop smash. It's very Katy Perry - E.T., which is a song they covered on The XF and I believe it was the turning point in their XF career. DNA is a roaring pop smash. It ticks just about every box I could want in a pop song. The operatic "Aaahs" during the middle-8 are spine tingling. Very euphoric and just incredible. A very well produced pop smash. So, SO good. <

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd August 2019, 10:26 AM

07: Towers
Taken from the album: Salute



> Number 7 and we have the mid-tempo, uplifting power ballad Towers. Taken from the girls 2nd studio album, Salute. This is the girls at their absolute finest. An uplifting, powerful, "we'll get through this together" pop anthem. The raw emotion, huge vocals and harmonies... what is not to love!!? After hearing reports of them not performing this on their Salute tour, they decided to switch out These Four Walls in favour of this IIRC! So it was kinda bittersweet as a fan, but the fans wanted this more, so HOPEFULLY there's hope for Forget You Not?! <

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd August 2019, 10:35 AM

06: Secret Love Song (feat. Jason Derulo)
Taken from the album: Get Weird



> At number 6 is a song that peaked there in the official charts too! Secret Love Song is a soaring girl band power ballad. In fact, with My Heart Takes Over by The Saturdays, this is one of my all time favourite girl group ballads. The vocals, the emotion & the message! Jason bounces off of the ladies a lot better than you'd probably most likely think. I actually think in the grander scheme of things, this song is probably their most recogniseable hit WW? Outstanding. <

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd August 2019, 10:41 AM

Top 5 time!

Here's what we have left [and what we lost in the top 10]

DNA: 0 [-1 (1 x Single)]
Salute: 1 (1 Single) [-2]
Get Weird: 1 [-2 (1 x Single)]
Glory Days: 2 (2 Singles) [NONE]
LM5: 1 [NONE]

So no more from the DNA era. Any predix on what the last 5 tracks are? ohmy.gif

HINT: ONE of the songs is another version of a song that is already in the countdown somewhere!

Posted by: Jonjo 8th August 2019, 07:39 PM

05: Touch
Taken from the album: Glory Days: Platinum Edition



> We head into the top 5 now and at #5 is the 3rd highest single in my countdown, it's the modern day pop masterpiece, Touch. This song was an absolute monster of a hit for the girls. From Leigh's opening to that abrupt "LOVE" ending, it's a pop thrill. The verses are majestic, the bridge's are addictive & the chorus is infectious. Now, the video. I GET why people dislike it, but honestly, I actually really, REALLY like it! The choreo is SO good. I don't think I'll ever tire of this classic. wub.gif <

Posted by: Jade 8th August 2019, 07:41 PM

Ahhhh I'm so pleased that 'DNA' is in your top 10 wub.gif it's a shame that it seems to be falling in BuzzJack's affections a bit in terms of rates / polls but I guess they've released a lot of strong material since then. Such as... 'Touch' which is another favourite <3

Posted by: Jonjo 8th August 2019, 09:09 PM

04: Salute
Taken from the album: Salute



> At number 4 we have the girl power ANTHEM, Salute. Forget 'Run The World (Girls)'. Salute takes their DC inspiration and turns it up all the way to 11. From the second you hear that siren call, it's just a heart racing, thumping track. It's EXACTLY what Little Mix are all about and I am so happy that this saved them from an under performing/floppy era. After 'Word Up!' failed to ignite the charts alight and 'Little Me' didn't do what their 2nd should've done, it wasn't certain that this would take off. But I'm so glad they risked it and went for a 3rd single from this album after all. One of their most instant songs for me with a KILLA video. This has been a fave of mine ever since first listen. It was an obvious single choice. <

DNA is what made my obsession with them grow to full loon/stan mode. I was obsessed with them on XF, but with them winning I was just so happy to see a girl group win and succeed past a first single laugh.gif When it "only" went top 3 and spent about 7 weeks top 40, I was gutted for them, but it didn't matter ofc. Thankfully Simon and co saw the potential and kept them further than 2 albums!

Posted by: Jordan Lee 8th August 2019, 09:36 PM

DNA the song is so underrated. I think it would’ve been huge (well a lot bigger than it was) had it came in the Get Weird Or Glory Days era. Definitely one of their best.

Love all those ballads too, especially Towers and agree with Love Me or Leave Me being the song to give Leigh a real moment.

Touch rightfully top 5 too happy.gif

03: Secret Love Song (Part ii)
Taken from the album: Get Weird



> Kicking us off in the top 3 we have the beautifully stunning Secret Love Song (Part ii). The original version appeared in my top 6, but this version hits me RIGHT in the feels, each and every time. I feel like their voices excel the most on this version. Every time I've seen this live it's been a MOMENT. I really wish they had performed this version of the song on a high profile televised slot at some point. Imagine this at the BRITS or the XF finale?! The potential moment is too much for my brain to think about. I also feel like this version really helps the song become a lot more personal, especially when they dedicate it to their LGBTQ+ fans. Plus, how can we NOT prefer the version with more Jade!? <

So, a top 2 that consists of a 'Glory Days' single and an 'LM5' album track!

I know you're a 'No More Sad Songs' stan so I'm going to predict that as the winner ohmy.gif

How fitting that I finish this as they celebrate 8 years together? wub.gif

Ugh. My MIND! kink.gif


















Here we go:

02: Wasabi
Taken from the album: LM5



> In the runner-up position is LM5 album track and Tik Tok SMASH, Wasabi. This song takes a while to digest just coz it has so much going on. So sassy, fierce and the biggest F-U to the papz since Britney's 'Piece Of Me'! The lyrics are iconic and I love that this song has done more for the LM5 era than TAU eventually did :') YAY for viral videos!! The production is their most brash and daring/experimental to date. It's gets the blood flowing, that's for sure! So infectious and it's really not hard to see why it's such a fave amongst fans and non-fans! An all mighty banger that deserves a single release! <

01: No More Sad Songs (feat. Machine Gun Kelly)
Taken from the album: Glory Days: The Platinum Edition



> Congratulations to everyone who guessed, because you all guessed correctly!!! (So just Jade then... biggrin.gif ) No More Sad Songs has gone on to become my favourite Little Mix song to date. It's a real, euphoric, pop, mid-tempo dancefloor smash! It was an obvious smash ever since first listen of the album and I'm so pleased it went on to become a smash for them. I'd argue that it's more known than it's #15 peak would suggest. The Glory Days era was the girls at their very peak and they have one of the strongest singles run from any era with these 5. NMSS is just flawless, basically. I feel that Jade really shines on this song which helps my love for it!I love Machine Gun Kelly's verse too and I believe he adds a bit more to it! <

I had a feeling Wasbai would’ve been high.

I really LM5 went the way they wanted it too. Wasbai is so Spotify friendly!
