Well speculation is RIFE right now with talk of the follow up to 'Break Up Song' being RIGHT AROUND THE CORNER.

Rumoured to be released 10th July and is to be titled "Dangerous Summer"!

Lyrics are apparently on https://genius.com/Little-mix-dangerous-summer-lyrics.

Produced by MNEK & Kamille!

Posted by: Slick 26th June 2020, 02:23 PM

About time we got a new single. Hopefully they can build on the momentum of 'Break Up Song.' Good collaborators too!

Posted by: Frenchie 26th June 2020, 02:26 PM

Fingers crossed, I'm so ready for single #2. Really intrigued to what its gonna sound like!

Posted by: caseclosed 26th June 2020, 02:42 PM

Anyone can put stuff up there right? So I’m not getting my hopes up regarding the title, lyrics etc, but the date seems possible.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 26th June 2020, 03:36 PM

It’s not guaranteed but it seems so legit with the raise to 99p and it’s been removed from a few playlists...

Also, if the rumoured title is true they don’t really want to release too late missing summer completely.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 26th June 2020, 03:39 PM

I think that is a good timing as BUS will be 3 months old.

Posted by: JulianNial 26th June 2020, 11:56 PM

3 months is THE perfect gap between singles unless single 1 is a slow burner.

I really hope the lyrics aren't real, yurgh! Kamille and MNEK can do better than that, that's a child lyricist whoever wrote that... mainly the chorus, the verses aren't awful.

Posted by: caseclosed 27th June 2020, 03:48 PM

I mean, when you read the Break Up Song chorus lyrics they aren’t brilliant either lol.

But I know what you mean, I didn’t like these either.

My concern atm is the title of the song (providing it is ofc 'Dangerous Summer') and whether radio will abandon it or not, due to current situations. I know it seems petty, but they've blacklisted stuff before similarly. But I think we should be fine, but I wouldn't be surprised.

Honestly it might sound like it's being overdramatic but I remember Kesha's 'Die Young' being completely pulled from radio when it was released due to the Sandy Hook tragedy. Obviously not the same situation but it's still awkward. It's a global pandemic, there's thousands of deaths in the UK alone and it IS literally a dangerous summer. It's easy to seperate lyrical content in a pop song to a pandemic but it's still that elephant in the room sort of thing and insensitive to play something like that when people are grieving lost loved ones.

Posted by: caseclosed 30th June 2020, 02:09 PM

Ugh I'm starving for new music for them.

Posted by: caseclosed 2nd July 2020, 01:27 PM

If they intend on releasing it next Friday I’d expect the teasing to begin tomorrow?

Posted by: 365 2nd July 2020, 02:59 PM

I really don't expect anything for at least 3 weeks/ a month really. I think they'll wait until the world has opened up a bit more.

Posted by: caseclosed 2nd July 2020, 03:17 PM

I honestly don’t know what they’d prefer: releasing it around this time and surfing a bit more on Break Up Song’s success, even though the video would probably either come much later or be “sacrificed” and promo wouldn’t be easy, or releasing it later and risking losing its hype but in an easier environment for the campaign.

Either way I really hope whichever decision they make they have thought it through, another good single with no live performances or an underwhelming video would be very frustrating. I thought we’d get at least one Break Up Song live... Ideally they’d release the song with the video, too.

Posted by: StupidLove 2nd July 2020, 09:43 PM

I'd honestly wait for them to wait until they have performances to promote their tracks at the ready.

Take BUS as their 30 Days. Give it time, I don't think there's any rush.

Posted by: legendsglory 6th July 2020, 09:47 AM

The girls are apparently shooting a video today. Their stylists are on set for something (as seen on their insta story)

There is loads of gold jewelry in the picture along with 3 or 4 suitcases so im guessing it is indeed for the girls!!

Second single MV? .... Vertical Video?.... This is definitely coming soon!..

Eeeek I’m SO ready for this. Another banger pls x

Posted by: caseclosed 6th July 2020, 12:01 PM

Yeah they’re definitely up to something (either shooting a video/live or the album cover), Jesy was on a car at 6 a.m.

Also, the VMAs have followed the girls’ group and individual accounts today... Probably bait but worth mentioning.

I think if anything, it’ll be an announcement for a release for next week

Posted by: Zak 8th July 2020, 06:49 PM

Announcement with cover art on Friday, snippets throughout the week. Did they film a video for this one? I heard they filmed a video for a single prior to the pandemic but not sure if that's true.

I hope it isn't a mid-tempo track. I'm dying for another club banger - we need a Touch 2.0 on the new album!

Random thought - imagine the girls single Joel Corry/MNEK's new song (transposed higher in the girls' key, serving those background vocals)!

Posted by: Jonjo 14th July 2020, 12:15 PM

Haven't the girls said it's pretty much Touch 2.0? (Or have I made that up? )

Posted by: legendsglory 14th July 2020, 01:14 PM

I hope they have something planned for this single, Anne Marie and Doja are dropping this friday and i think that has the potential to be big if the song is good and Dua is dropping the week after.

Now the girls have reunited and have started working again, they could be able to actually promote this single and do performances etc.. I really hope they have planned this one out as it could actually be big for them. Especially after the success of BUS and also the fact that its a summer bop.. People tend to love LM summer anthems

Posted by: caseclosed 14th July 2020, 01:16 PM

What's Dua dropping? I thought she'd work on Hallucinate for a while at least.

Posted by: jsweetxe 15th July 2020, 06:29 PM

the single is coming next Friday, apparently, according to a friend who has heard the song. (I won't disclose who they work for but they're in a position to hear stuff early)

I didn't actually confirm the title of the song with them, but there was a rumour it was called Holiday, and given the snippet I heard (Literally 7 seconds) they're singing about holiday (Post Lockdown feeling I'm guessing) the snippet was Perrie during the chorus, I can hear Jesy too just as it ends doing ad-libs.

Production is very gorgeous, it's so fresh and summery. It has the understated "golden hour" summer feeling of Zara's TG4M and that sort of deep beat of Can't Feel My Face (that's the best way to describe it, it's like Little Mix on Can't Feel My Face but not as dark)

From the snippet, it doesn't sound like a massive thrashing club banger like Touch, Power or No More Sad Songs, picture it like a song you can listen to in the sun where you're just relaxing, it's not mid-tempo, definitely uptempo, just not as harsh. He was very excited about the fresh sound of the song. And from the snippet I heard it's going to be very good.

Apparently it's better than BUS. And they're finally releasing a summer song in summer!

I'm trying to pester him for another snippet, so hopefully it'll work. He doesn't know when the announcement or anything will be as that's not what his area of work is, however as its next week, I imagine it'll be tomorrow or Friday.

Posted by: caseclosed 15th July 2020, 07:19 PM

That's exciting! Hopefully it does better than Break Up Song (especially on Spotify) and the video doesn't take as long to come. Also hope they managed to film a proper one.

Curious about the sound.

Posted by: Jonjo 15th July 2020, 07:20 PM

I'm not expecting this to be as good as BUS, but the review is promising!

Give us that chilled Summer vibes ladies *.*

Posted by: jsweetxe 15th July 2020, 08:03 PM

Also it may be worth mentioning that their summer playlist on Spotify spells out "H O L I D A Y" with the first 7 songs and they've liked tweets pointing it out on twitter!

Posted by: caseclosed 15th July 2020, 08:03 PM

Yeah the songs that follow spell "SOON" as well.

Posted by: legendsglory 15th July 2020, 08:08 PM

Where do you think this will peak/debut? I really hope it manages to go top 10. I know its hard to make predictions without hearing the song but going off the success of BUS and what we already know im hoping it can be a cute summer hit.

Posted by: jsweetxe 15th July 2020, 08:18 PM

It's hard to say, we're sort of out of lockdown, but I'm not sure if the music consumption has gone back up or at least risen?

But yes, given that BUS had decent success given its circumstances, I'm hoping it can be another top 10. As long as it gets some good promo through radio and streaming (lol..) it should be okay.

I'm gonna say top 10.

Posted by: Wall 15th July 2020, 09:12 PM

I’m ready for a bop

Posted by: Jonjo 15th July 2020, 09:15 PM

Yeah! Hopefully as we're teetering between the in/out of lockdown line this can get a bigger debut, at least. I'm excited! The TG4M comparison has got me hyped some more!

Posted by: Wall 15th July 2020, 09:16 PM

Tg4m is overrated tho

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 15th July 2020, 10:57 PM

Posted by: caseclosed 15th July 2020, 11:23 PM

I think someone would've said if it did by now. Comparisons to NEIKED's Sexual and Ciara's Thinkin Bout You were made on PopJustice as well as Zara's TG4M yet again.

I'm expecting an actual snippet tomorrow, considering it's the start of the week and also it's a critical moment for their hyping of the single.

Also, worth noting that their pinned video for the Holiday announcement has surpassed 1.4m views since the announcement, which is surprising considering Break-Up Song has only amassed 1.1m since been posted.

Posted by: caseclosed 19th July 2020, 03:30 PM

Yeah the announcement has done much better than Break Up Song’s. I compared the numbers yesterday and it had over 840k views on Instagram whilst BUS’s has 580M. More comments as well. On Twitter it has more replies, likes and retweets.

It seems the easter eggs and pre announcement hype worked very well. I hope they’re able to sustain it until Friday. Really hope we get a proper artwork with them too.

Posted by: legendsglory 19th July 2020, 04:27 PM

Yes! It also has more views than the WLM announcement video which is so impressive! I actually think its their most viewed single announcement to date on Twitter?

I looked at the video yesterday and was so shocked it had 1.4M views (Now 1.5M) They have hyped up this single really well so far, i just hope it carries on throughout the week.

I agree with the comment above about getting a snippet tomorrow, i also think we will get some pictures from the music video as their stylist basically confirmed one has been filmed.

The artwork is stunning and I'm so surprised by it, I was totally expecting it to be like a static shot of the teaser video using that blue background and them all "boarding" their flight, so I'm glad they took it to another direction.

They never really nail their covers 100% so I'm proud to see it only took them 9 years to get it right.

It doesn't give me a massive amount of hope for the music video having choreography but oh well, as long as its summery and has cohesion with the song then I'm good.

Just need a damn snippet now.

Yeah this definitely has more buzz than BUS! I think the success of that will have helped whereas that came off the back of Bounce Back and the Xmas single. I could see it debuting higher than BUS even if it's good!

Posted by: 365 22nd July 2020, 10:40 AM

Yeah I'm actually predicting a 6 -7 debut for this if it get's instantly good streaming support. It's VERY catchy and instant. And perfect for Summer. There's about 4 hooks.

Posted by: legendsglory 22nd July 2020, 11:40 AM

Yeah there’s definitely way more buzz for this than there was for BUS. Especially if we go off the announcement videos alone, the views are way higher. Idk everything just feels ... bigger?

Yeah i hope they get insta added to HHUK, if they do it will be around position #30-40 as i remember that’s roughly where BUS was added. I’m expecting a top 5 NMF placement for sure but hopefully they can get higher.

I think they can definitely debut top 10 officially (or just outside) but if the streaming support is good they could honestly go top 5 or just outside, the fact that it’s a summer song will obviously help it too... I mean we seen how BUS increased in the warmer weather! Exciting.

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd July 2020, 11:52 AM

I feel so confident about this! It's such a strange feeling.

Definitely seems to be a lot more hype surrounding this than there was for BUS. But BUS did what it needed to do and bring back some of the fans that Bounce Back drove away. They're in a prime position to capitalise massively! I just hope the streaming support is there!

There is definitely more buzz for this single than 'Break Up Song' and 'Bounce Back', which is good. That's how it should be. I am looking forward to it - I liked both BUS and BB but I want an instant bop that I can get on board with like in previous eras.

Nice to see radio is on board right from the start!

Just an infectious, pure pop Summery bop! It's a sound that was in-phase about 4 years or so ago, but not many have done it since so this feels like a breath of fresh air amongst your current chart hits.

Posted by: jsweetxe 23rd July 2020, 12:09 PM

Just had my first listen.. it's definitely going to catch on, it's such a strong pop song and easily one of their best singles.

Vocally, they're just as strong as they've ever been, and for once all girls feel present in the song. (I often question Jesy's presence and contribution to songs) There's a real understated sexy delivery which I just love. No big vocal moments, but they're definitely pushing that Summer feeling throughout.

This probably isn't the best review of it lol but it's really, really, really good.

What? Jade’s chorus is so catchy!

This only grows with each listen (and quickly). With radio support I can’t see it doing three weeks in the Top 20 at best... It sounds a bit disastrous.

It’s funny because I’ve heard people say it’s much more instant than BUS and people saying the opposite.

Posted by: jsweetxe 23rd July 2020, 08:41 PM

As a hardcore stan I think it's easy for me (and others) to say that this is an "instant smash" and stuff, but after a few of hours of listening it doesn't quite have the same instant umph as Break-Up Song.

Break-Up Song capitalised off of the current 80s sound that was in pop music and also for a lot of people, we had wanted Little Mix to do that sort of 80s sound for a while, so it stuck quicker, but I can't lie I've had several different parts of Holiday stuck in my head all day, it's definitely something that grows on you and imo, that's what makes a summer song a smash. Holiday is definitely a bit more generic but it doesn't take away its fresh and non-threatening sound. The locals are definitely going to stick to this song.

I think for pop music avid fans like most here are this won’t hit as hard especially after the gem that was Break Up Song (this is more generic), but a lot of friends considered this more instant. I believe it’ll reasonate better with the GP than BUS.

Also it grows so much with every listen, radio hammering it will definitely help.

maybe to lm fans who wanted in-your-face, it could be disappointing but to the gp it’s a current, sonically fresh bop.

J Balvin, Bad Bunny & Dua enter at #2 on NMF, pushing LM down to #3. Hopefully with Taylor added (presumably at #1?) LM will be no lower that 4 (BUS ended up at #5 - after Rihanna & PARTYNEXTDOOR got added the next morning). But why do I get a horrible feeling Maroon 5 are gonna upset and get above them too? (I'm still expecting M5 to debut at 5 or lower)

BUS debuted at #15 on iTunes, so this is off to a stronger start! By 2:15am they were at #5.

Has Hot Hits updated yet? BUS got instantly added, but I didn't see what HH looked like before now, so IDK if it updated and they haven't added LM yet, or they just haven't updated yet (hopefully the latter).

I love this! Lots of hooks that work on you throughout the song that guarantees you'll be hitting replay and there's an effortless, fun quality to the song. Surprised there's a few underwhelmed reactions here, it might not be a full-on banger like Break Up Song but it only takes to the end of the first listen to uncover its hit potential.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 24th July 2020, 05:52 AM

I have warmed to this more now.

I still can’t see it being as big as BUS though..

Spotify haven’t been kind at all which worries me a bit.

It’s sad that it looks likely it won’t hit #1 on iTunes either which they usually do.

Posted by: legendsglory 24th July 2020, 06:05 AM

1 on ‘Happy Hits’ with 5M followers... 1 on ‘Daily Loft ’ with 1.6M and it’s like 14 on ‘Pop Up’ and that has like 3M followers etc etc. Not bad tbh!

Regarding Taylor, would she really have the strength to score three songs in the Top 10 in the UK with a folk album? They don't sound like songs that will sustain a lot of streams for the whole week.

Posted by: Scene 24th July 2020, 01:13 PM

It wasn't what I was expecting. I was expecting them to continue the 80's sound tbh. It's very "tropical resort" music. The chorus sounds catchy! I can't even predict how this will do chart-wise. It doesn't scream surefire top 5 hit but doesn't sound like a misfire either.

It would've been nice for him to actually feature on it, I'm shocked that at this point MNEK has never featured with the girls, considering they could probably give him some decent exposure. I feel robbed of my Wasabi feat. MNEK.

I can't see the Taylor songs upholding throughout the week, they'll probably stream well for today and possibly over the weekend, but probably only Cardigan will stand a chance at being the big debut.

Posted by: Angel F. 24th July 2020, 02:25 PM

Just a heads up:

I HIGHLY doubt this will debut top 20 on Spotify today. Most of (if not all?) Taylor's tracks will be above as well as potentially some of the releases that were higher on NMF (although that didn't stop BUS so I wouldn't be surprised if LM managed to be be the highest non-Taylor entry) so, I can see maybe a 25-35 debut, but with very similar number of streams (unless Taylor ate into some of their fanbase as they do crossover a fair amount).

About 15 places lower on Hot Hits than BUS (+ BUS had Vertical video etc..)

So kinda in-line I think. I wasn't expecting ALL of Taylor's tracks above them, but that's the power of a surprise Taylor release (It out performed Lover album).

The only release higher is Nathan Dawe feat. KSI - Lighter (#21) none of the other 2 top 5 NMF playlisters didn't get top 50 (J Balvin/Bad Bunny/Dua & Maroon 5)

Just unfortunate that Taylor dropped her album lmao!

It’s mad this is probably one the biggest songs outside the UK on iTunes even though sales are low does show there’s a lot of interest.

This is still 40 on Apple Music, i thought it would be higher by now tbh.

Posted by: legendsglory 26th July 2020, 10:07 AM

Down to 50 on Spotify..

Posted by: Frenchie 26th July 2020, 10:13 AM

BUS also fell 9 spots on day 2 so not the end of the world. Even though it’s not gonna have the best debut, I’m still hopeful that its gonna rise in the next few weeks.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 26th July 2020, 10:20 AM

I just get the feeling this is going to struggle.

I know Taylor’s album is out etc but it’s doing a lot worse than BUS at this stage, maybe it’s because it’s not as instant and will rise when we get warmer weather etc?

I can’t help but think everyone wants more instant cheesy pop hits rather than mellow ‘cooler
Sounding pop.

Hope I’m wrong, but they definitely really struggle with streaming now.

Posted by: shindymindy 26th July 2020, 10:28 AM

Also down to 2 on iTunes now

Bleh, it's getting really difficult to predict where this will land, possibly looking at a top 15/20 debut for this since it's doing worse than BUS, although the Taylor album doesn't really help (Lol when we thought this wouldn't impact it..)

I'ts a bit annoying seeing RCA just tweet dumb stuff rather than... you know getting them a spot on TTH.

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

I feel like the music video is going to give this a BIG boost. Do you think we can expect it next week?

Posted by: Wall 26th July 2020, 12:38 PM

Music videos don’t really have that much of an impact, watermelon sugar is one of the few videos I’ve seen have an impact recently.

They honestly got treated better from Syco when it comes to playlisting.

Posted by: legendsglory 26th July 2020, 01:28 PM

New peak of 36 on Apple Music

Posted by: caseclosed 26th July 2020, 01:55 PM

Yeah Twitter was crazy yesterday with fans complaining about how Syco was better with playlisting and the general campaign.

I must say its performance on Itunes is 80% down to the fanbase. People were buying the song like crazy on Twitter. The brazilian fan account I follow distributed the song to everyone who asked. It’s cute to see the fans putting in that much effort, but at the same time sad that it’s all they can do as it’s not even that relevant anymore.

I hope they have some sort of promo planned other than just giving interviews on Zoom and doing lives. No performances this time around would make no sense at all. I expected them to have one airing the week of release already.

Posted by: legendsglory 26th July 2020, 05:36 PM

#9 on todays update. Cant see it managing top 15 debut now? Maybe if it starts to rise but hopefully it does better next week and doesnt just fall.

Posted by: caseclosed 26th July 2020, 05:48 PM

Not a great start in comparison to Break Up Song and Bounce Back.

Let’s hope it climbs on Spotify over the week and in the charts in the next few weeks. Can’t see this failing to become a Top 10 hit in the long run as a good sign.

They need better placement on Spotify now though. The treatment this song’s receiving is annoying. I hope they have some performances planned and that the video comes next Friday.

I still have faith in the song, it sounds so much catchier than Break Up Song to me and it’s such a grower.

Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 26th July 2020, 05:52 PM

Hopefully it can stay top 10 as streaming will pick up in the next few days.

I think it’ll be around the 15 mark at the end of the week.

Also somehow this is still top 10 on US iTunes. BUS was around 70 by this point

Posted by: Tawdry Hepburn 26th July 2020, 09:34 PM

I think without Taylor it would have been #11 (after being #6 today), so I'm gonna say a #14 debut and probably peak.

Posted by: Zak 26th July 2020, 09:46 PM

This is not doing as well in streaming as I expected. Though its early days, hope it rises and doesn't linger in the 40s/30s on Spotify like BUS did

Posted by: caseclosed 26th July 2020, 10:07 PM

Are they not releasing a vertical video?

Posted by: Jonjoliday 26th July 2020, 10:16 PM

It's Spotify playlisting is appalling, especially in comparison to BUS first few days.

I still think this will be a big smash for them, but I am disappointed with the Spotify support atm. Hopefully it's more of the longer game with Spotify promotion and that they're waiting to move it up along with airplay etc..

Posted by: caseclosed 26th July 2020, 11:22 PM

I have faith in it too, let’s see.

But yeah the lack of support on Spotify is disencouraging.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 27th July 2020, 07:52 AM

You can really see how LM’s popularity has diminished the views on YouTube are shocking.

BUS official video only has 7M views, I know under unusual circumstances but even so seems pretty low.

I’m wondering how the lack of X Factor performances worldwide has impacted them.

Syco used to plug them on all sorts of shows due to Simon but it’s all very limited now.

Struggling to stay optimistic about Holiday now, BUS struggled enough on Spotify as it was so I hope Holiday doesn’t end up being another Bounceback if not worse.

Posted by: tomwright123 27th July 2020, 09:10 AM

I’m so impressed on how well this has maintained on US iTunes! I’m not sure if anyone on here is particularly we versed in the Billboard charts, but do we think this could debut on the hot 100?

Yeah I'm still holding out that we get a peak sometime later and that its not to be counted out just yet... it's just sad seeing the girls and even.. like a lot of publications feel so excited over the song only for it to not live up to the hype. No one was expecting massive numbers but I also don't think this was expected either.

Posted by: caseclosed 27th July 2020, 12:36 PM

According to SpotOnTrack this right now has actually more followers overall on Spotify than Break Up Song has ever had.

Perrie said in an interview that she’s booked a holiday next week...

.@LittleMix – Spotify Update

Holiday: 2,449,511 (+551,486)

This isnt good at all considering they have a 40M playlist reach? I know it wouldnt pull in amazingly high numbers but i expected bigger than this. I just hope this doesnt turn out to be another Bounce Back and can actually peak later on.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 27th July 2020, 02:41 PM

Oh wow it’s so negative in here lol .... I’m for one enjoying Holiday a lot and I’m sure it will eventually end up peaking higher in the long run the song only came out a few days ago guys and with a unexpected Taylor Album currently blocking it I think it’s doing pretty fine atm .

I'm finding it so hard to get into this properly. I like it but it's not really giving me anything I'm rushing to get back to with any kind of excitement.

Posted by: Liam.k. 27th July 2020, 11:47 PM

Think it's worth pointing out that, regardless of position, 'Holiday' is looking to sell just under what 'Break Up Song' did on its first week.

'Break Up Song' was on 11.9k on the Monday update; 'Holiday' is on 9.9k.

Posted by: Jonjoliday 27th July 2020, 11:58 PM

Excellent!

I still feel oddly confident with this and I don't know why. Usually I'm quite a bit more pessimistic, but with this, I just can't not see the locals latching onto this once airplay picks up (or it gets out of Taylor's shadow )

If it flops in 4 weeks and shows no signs of recovering, then sure, I'll admit I was wrong, but until then, I'm really not gonna panic

Posted by: Liam.k. 28th July 2020, 12:05 AM

I don't see any cause for concern at this moment either. I remember a similar situation with 'Break Up Song' tbh - I think people are just overly cautious because a lot is riding on this era being a success following the messy LM5 era.

Posted by: Bré 28th July 2020, 01:34 AM

Well this thread has been fun to read

I'm kind of conflicted about this song, I think I am liking most of it but sadly finding that the first half of the chorus (with the lowkey NEIKED-esque instrumental) really falls quite flat and I think that is detracting from the impact of the rest of the song. Hoping that it might be a grower but at the moment it's feeling pretty underwhelming.

Posted by: Mr. C. Joel 28th July 2020, 08:43 AM

I think some of you are being way too optimistic, I think this is heading for a similar run to Bounce Back.

Great to see BUS back up to 78 though.

Posted by: shindymindy 28th July 2020, 08:51 AM

I’m also feeling ok with this one at the moment
I have a feeling it will end up doing well - not sure why I feel this way though

Posted by: 1hit1der 28th July 2020, 09:10 AM

The true test will be when the music video is released. Fingers crossed for major replay value.

I agree there's a lot riding on this era after LM5. Hoping for the MV on Friday and performances very soon!

Posted by: Cameron 28th July 2020, 10:15 AM

This could do a NMSS and LMLY and peak outside the top 10 but still sell well.

It did lose the Top 50 playlist audience from Sunday to Monday, but still.

Posted by: shadow2009 28th July 2020, 11:51 AM

Damn. I really thought Break Up Song had sort of given them a revival after LM5/Think About Us/Bounce Back/One I've Been Missing all underperforming.

What now?

Posted by: caseclosed 28th July 2020, 11:53 AM

I’d be worried about the album if it wasn’t for The Search. It’s a shame Break Up Song didn’t get a proper video or decent promotion as it’ll probably turn out to be the hit from this era. It would’ve sold better.

Posted by: legendsglory 28th July 2020, 01:09 PM

I think that when it gets higher on HHUK it will rise, i just hope its very soon. Their position now is too low to have much of an impact. They should really remove BUS and put Holiday in its position.

Posted by: caseclosed 28th July 2020, 01:12 PM

I’m not sure it’s up to them to simply remove/replace BUS on Hot Hits. It’ll be hard for them to recover without the Top 50 exposure, hoping they manage it and at the very least hold up in the lower Top 50 for a while.

It’d be terrible for this to have a Bounce Back run, it doesn’t deserve it.

The girls will be shocked as well as they seem to love it.

Posted by: caseclosed 28th July 2020, 01:29 PM

I didn’t realize all the Taylor tracks were still in the Top 50, this has really scr**ed them over a bit since if it wasn’t for her album the song would’ve never left the Top 50 by this point and wouldn’t have lost its 2M+ audience.

UK is set for some insane weather this week, so hopefully the locals flock to their holiday/summer playlists and give the girls what they need.

But also, I'd love for the girls to do well with singles but idk if I'm gonna keep betting on that anymore. Their albums always do decently well and their tours are always massive, plus people love them. The Search will also be amazing for them to revive their career (Not that it died, but the momentum definitely suffered)

I hate to link a Sun article but; https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/12240481/little-mix-knebworth-house-gig/

I still haven't grasped exactly what this is but it appears the girls are doing an exclusive concert/performance for the Compare the Meerkat brand, going back to the house where they filmed WLM, it usually holds 125k but their audience will be the two Meerkats.. Take That did it a few months ago and apparently their fans and the GP loved it but I'm still not sure how it'll work.

Either way I'm glad they're performing something again I'm just not sure what it is.

All I do know is that the CTM is a very popular ad campaign/brand in the UK so it's bound to draw in something.
