Into the top 5 we go and kick starting it is the female empowering anthem Power which followed No More Sad Songs to become the 4th single from the Glory Days era. Ever since first listen of the album, fans were crying out for this to be a single. It was so different for them and from the first note right through to the end, it gives you a massive punch in the face and you feel good for it! Hooks and melodies aplenty, it went on to be one of their biggest hits, thanks to a featured verse by Stormzy who adds an empowering verse! The video is one of the girls very best, for sure. Just an all round ANTHEM.

At number 4 is Love Me Like You by Little Mix. It must be some unwritten rule, that every British girl band must release a 60's inspired, doo-wop, pop BOP. This was the 2nd single to Little Mix's 'Get Weird' era and peaked at #11. I remember it being such a disappointment chart-success wise. But in hindsight, except for 'Touch' they've had the absolute WORST luck with 2nd singles. But, lucky for them, this seemed to have longevity and managed to help GW get a huge opening. The video, again, is stellar. One of their very best in my opinion. This is such a banger. One of my fave girl group 60's inspired pop bops!

The career saving, pure pop ANTHEM Black Magic by Little Mix is up next at #3. This really was such a pivotal point in their career at the time. After the successful, but ultimately disappointing Salute era, it was touch and go for the girls. Especially as they were reality TV show winners and we know that success beyond a 2nd album is v rare for the winners. But they knocked it out of the park and THEN some. 'Black Magic' is the song that single handedly turned it all around for them. They went from stars to superstars with this release they lost the number 1 to Elvis' first Philharmonic album, but were comfortably ahead of their neaxt rival Ellie as they beat her with a 21k sales gap. This song has also been responsible for MANY iconic performances, like the BRITS in 2016 where they ABSOLUTELY STOLE THE DAMN SHOW. WHAT A PERFORMANCE. This song is just utter pop perfection and such a joy! The video is also, imo, their best! Fantastic!

HERE WE GO.



The number 1 & 2 of the countdown.












Little Mix - Touch vs. Fifth Harmony - Work From Home






WHO HAS WON????






























02. Fifth Harmony - Work From Home [9.14]



HIGHEST SCORES:
11.0: jakewild; blacksquare; cqmerqn; Miss Americana; Juliano; Liam; JosephStyles

03.0: Dexton


In at #2 is Fifth Harmony's SMASH hit Work From Home. This was an instant smash WW and it's really not hard to see why. The repetitive "work work work work" hook is INFECTIOUS and really worms it's way into your affections. The production is stellar too and then we have the video... imagine K***e H*****s & P***s M****n if LM released that!? Amazing. I believe this is the biggest girl group song of the Decade, right? In fact isn't it one of the biggest of the 21st Century? An amazing feat for them! BANGER.

So, there we have it. The winner of the Little Mix vs Fifth Harmony rate is Touch by Little Mix! An unsurprising but thoroughly deserving winner. Touch became an instant girl group classic the moment fans had heard it when the Glory Days album had been released. The girls said numerous times that this was the song they were most looking forward to the fans hearing and DID THEY ABSOLUTELY DELIVER. It's just nice to finally have a song that brought in a new legion of fans for the girls. I feel like this was the first "cool" song for Little Mix. Everyone would lose their shit the moment Leigh's verse started in the clubs. It's all just several hooks rolled into one. It's gone on to become one of the girls signature hits and the video seemed to have been met with mixed reactions from everyone, but I am firmly in a "love it in a charismatic way"! It's so good! Jade absolutely steals the song for me which is always a plus! <3

A HUGE thank you to everyone who rated and commented. It was so fun to do something a little different for the LM forum. Had I delayed this like, a week later, I would have collaborated with 5H forum a bit more! But these results are so strong. wub.gif

Thanks Jonjo! Some thoughts:
  • Amazing (if unsurpising) winner. I neeeeed their next single to take cue from 'Touch'. It's still such a massive banger two years on. Leigh's intro is iconic.
  • I was never massively keen on WFH, but can appreciate how huge it was at the time. It was incredible to see a girlband actually smashing it worldwide (however fleeting their success may have been. laugh.gif).
  • 'Down' and 'Bounce Back' both being bottom 6 is kinda hilarious. As is 'Only You' being the highest rated LM5 single (by a large margin too!).
  • On that note, CYL beating WLM???? I don't think I'll ever understand the disdain for the latter.
  • Shook but delighted at Reggaeton Lento managing to scam a place in the top 10 (and beating NMSS!).
  • I'd probably place 'Move' in the top 5 over 'Black Magic'.
  • 'Salute' being beaten by 'That's My Girl' seems questionable, but I seemingly gave the latter a 9 so ???. I think I over-inflated all my 5H scores to not seem too much of a Little Mix loon. laugh.gif

'Work From Home' is good but overrated whereas 'Touch' is brilliant, we chose the right winner wub.gif
