There's no denying it - Little Mix are one of the biggest girl groups that the UK has ever seen.

Off the back of their recent Top 5 single Reggaeton Lento with CNCO, Jade, Jesy, Leigh-Anne and Perrie have begun their Glory Days UK arena tour, plus the Platinum Edition of Glory Days featuring new songs is out on November 24.

We're adding some more good news into the mix (pun intended) by revealing the girls' Top 20 biggest songs on the Official Chart. Before we uncover the full list, let's have a closer look at the Top 5:

5: Power
Little Mix unleashed their own girl power anthem into the world this year when they gave Power from their Glory Days album the single treatment. Featuring Stormzy delivering quite the empowering rap, Power was a stand-out fan favourite from the chart-topping album before being the obvious choice as the fourth single. 157,000 downloads and 54 million streams later, Power is overall their fifth biggest song.


4: Secret Love Song
The band's most successful collaboration, Little Mix teamed up with Jason Derulo for this heartfelt duet. Secret Love Song was the group's eighth UK Top 20 hit, peaking at Number 6. And the video channelled Spice Girls' 2 Become 1, so they get extra brownie points for that. When it comes to sales, it's shifted 296,000 copies, but it's streaming that's given it a significant boost, with 49.3 million plays.


3: Touch
The Glory Days campaign may be the most recent chapter in Little Mix history, but it's definitely been their most successful era yet, meaning several of the GD bangers rank high in the group's all-time standings. The track has been downloaded a modest 230,000 times, but is the band's most streamed track, having been played a whopping 78 million times. The track was also remixed for US radio featuring Kid Ink - look out for that version on Glory Days: Platinum Edition.


2: Shout Out To My Ex
"Forget that boy, I'm over it." Heartbreak led to mega success for Little Mix in 2016 when Shout Out To Ex became their biggest instant hit since their winning X Factor single Cannonball. Becoming their Number 1 in October 2016, the song scored 95,000 combined sales in its first week, helping the girls eclipse Leona Lewis as the X Factor winners with the most Number 1s on the Official Singles Chart. With 379,000 downloads and 75 million streams, SOTME is Little Mix's fourth biggest seller and second most streamed song.


1: Black Magic
Of course! It had to be. Their monster hit from summer 2015 spent three weeks at Number 1, their first chart-topper since 2012. Packed with catchy hooks, slick production and accompanied by a high-school movie pastiche video, everything about Black Magic was tailor-made for huge success. While not top of the sales or streaming tally, it delivered strongly on both fronts, making it their Number 1 all-time hit. Black Magic's downloads tally stands at 515,000, while the song has charmed its way to 63.1 million streams.


The rest of the Top 20
Elsewhere in our rundown of Little Mix's biggest songs, Little Mix's most downloaded hit Wings just misses out on a Top 5 place at Number 6, ahead of Sean Paul collaboration Hair at Number 7. Debut single Cannonball is at Number 11, while Oops ft. Charlie Puth is Little Mix's most successful song that was never a single at Number 15.

Seriously impressive sales

I only actively dislike 3 of their singles and they are #1, #2 and #5. Lol.

I get 'Touch' being ahead of 'Wings' but surprised at 'Secret Love Song' and 'Power' also being ahead, I guess this is mostly because of streaming being more on their side?

Three 'Glory Days' singles in their top 5, and all four in the top 10... what a campaign for them! And with those sales differences, it'd seem 'Reggaeton Lento' will be joining all those singles very shortly (albeit at the expense of their career best: 'Move' ).

Only 2 singles without a certification go stream CYL

Move is by far their best.

Posted by: Jonjo 23rd November 2017, 11:16 AM

Fantastic sales! It's so good to see that they adapted to this era of chart rules after being so frustrated with much of the 'Get Weird' era due to "streaming not being on their side" etc.. and us getting so annoyed at their streaming positions :lol:

Great to see that 2 of their Glory days album tracks are in the top 20 too, just to show how huge this era has been for them! :wub:

'Move' not being #1 here should of course be a criminal offence x

Posted by: Joe. 23rd November 2017, 11:18 AM

Despite streaming helping their sales a lot, only 5 of their singles have ever made the top 10 on Spotify; Move (8), Black Magic (3), Shout Out(1), Touch(2) and Reggaetón Lento (9)
