The girls have confirmed on twitter that they are currently in the studio recording their third album.

Jade has previously stated they'd love to work with One Republic, Jason Derulo and American producers for this album. Also, they're are tweets stating they're working with 'The Invisible Men', Troy Boi, Anya Jones & Maegan Cottone.


Very excited to see what this album will be like after loving their previous two!

Posted by: d__ 3rd April 2014, 07:52 PM

Their gonna need to bring their A game this time round. "Salute" was leaps better than their debut, but it's chart performance is bad.

Posted by: Jonjo 3rd April 2014, 08:09 PM

Their chart performance mirrored 'DNA'/was better! (At least chart run wise - sales are low overall though, so they can't be blamed for the sales being low + they had a charity single in the way this time around.)

But absolutely cannot wait, naturally. Jade posted this the other day on facebook:

"The writing book is back #StudioTime xxjadexx"

Posted by: PaO_o 4th April 2014, 06:04 AM

Hope they get a big hit song for saving their life. Salute is a good album but it hasn't a big hit single that makes poor album sales than DNA.

Posted by: OutstandingMike 4th April 2014, 11:53 AM

I think the fact 'Move' charted in the Top 3 and has sold over 350k to date tells me that it was a big hit. 'Salute' has sold quite well too, especially in this poor sales (album) climate.

Posted by: PaO_o 4th April 2014, 04:48 PM

But they can't crack America with Move which is very poor single sell.

Posted by: Defaze 4th April 2014, 09:10 PM

What's with all the talk of poor chart performance? 'Salute' (my phone corrected that to '$l*t' - found it far too amusing) did pretty well imo, it didn't suffer the same sophomore slump that's typical of the other winners and it was much better received than their debut. The "save their life" comment is just ridiculous.

I really can't wait for this! I know it's a long shot, but I hope they release two singles before the album a la 'DNA'. If they're of the same standard as 'Wings', 'Move' or 'DNA' then I'll be very chuffed!

Edit: wot is that filter

Posted by: Electro Paradise 14th April 2014, 05:41 PM

They've been writing with Jessie J, possibly collaboration coming, not sure how I feel about that atm but will 100% reserve judgement until we hear it (if we do).

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 15th April 2014, 02:50 AM

I can't say I'm particularly inspired by the likes of Jason Derulo and Jessie J. It looks like they've completely ditched Tulisa now. They never seem to talk about her anymore.

Posted by: pippa 15th April 2014, 11:18 AM

The next album is the album that needs to bring them to new level. They have done well do date but they need to move up a league now.

Posted by: BarbaricSissyTIM 15th April 2014, 02:12 PM

More Salute's less About The Boy's please

Posted by: ▲ROBOT 15th April 2014, 03:34 PM

Yeah, the idea of working with Jessie J really isn't something that excites me... they kind of feel like they've moved beyond a sound I'd expect to hear her collaborate with them on.

The Invisible Men are great though, co-/produced 'Work', 'Hot Right Now', 'On The Metro' for Girls Aloud, so that does interest me.

Posted by: seantobewild 31st May 2014, 08:54 PM

Read an article on digital spy that they are finding the third album challenging. Woops

Posted by: Electro Paradise 1st June 2014, 12:28 PM

That article worried me for one reason and that was that they said they would be releasing a new single in November, even if the album wasn't ready. I really think artists should have the whole album finished before picking the singles. The Saturdays tend to do this strategy a lot and it doesn't pay off, you have to pick from the best of the album, not the best of the handful of songs you've recorded as you're worried people might move on if you don't release something. They need to release music that is worthy of waiting for - I don't mean take 3 years off, but an extra 6 months isn't going to kill anyone, especially as it would just give them more time to release more singles and to visit more countries for longer periods of time, they don't need to be 100% out of the publics mind for that long. They've had two very successful lead singles from both albums, they really need to have a 3rd, possibly even bigger hit for album #3, not just release a single cause you've hit your deadline. This all said, I think they have plenty of time to create a killer single by November, I just hope they have at least 80% of the album finished before they release anything related to it.

Posted by: JONES 1st June 2014, 12:47 PM

We know that's not true though they are a syco artist and have the same routine every year I'm am 100% percent sure that they will release a single in November and the album a week later for maximum sales
Even though they will have less time as the are tour us in September i would presume they won't have a holiday and make it throughout the summer

Posted by: Jonjo 1st June 2014, 12:57 PM

Can we PLEASE stop with the personal insults and sop trying to antagonise one another? This forum is welcome to any kind of discussion, but there is a line that doesn't need to be crossed. Thank you.

---

Also, in regards to sean's post, I'd be worried if they didn't find it "challenging". Nothing comes easy, especially when the album before was as good as 'Salute' was. Plus, I'm sure artists like Ed Sheeran, Adele, Emeli and the like find it challenging when writing their own songs for their albums, hence why they take about 3 years between each album. It's more difficult for Little Mix as they're manufactured and don't have the fanbase that will wait patiently for an album. Many manufactured pop bands release an album year after year in fear of "being forgotten" or nobody caring about them if they took too long out. It's been like this for years.

Posted by: seantobewild 1st June 2014, 04:33 PM

I also think the problem is that DNA + Salute have both been quite successful in terms of lead singles so they ideally need a top 5 smash.

Posted by: seantobewild 16th July 2014, 07:35 PM

I'm starting to think they don't have any direction/theme for this album. Obviously DNA was their debut and Salute was all about women/feminism/empowering and they claimed it had a military feel to it. But they've posting a video asking for ideas? Did they do this with the previous two?

Posted by: JONES 16th July 2014, 09:52 PM

Yea they did... They said they're going for a similar sound to salute but more r'n'b and a step up

Posted by: JONES 13th August 2014, 02:08 PM

The girls have posted pics confirming they are working with Jess Glynn but I think she's just producing it and not signing, we'll see...

Posted by: Sociopath 13th August 2014, 04:33 PM

just an album full of Salutes and These Four Walls please

Posted by: SB. 14th August 2014, 01:10 PM

Where?

Their Instagram (LittleMixOfficial)

Posted by: JONES 24th August 2014, 10:25 PM

Just looked at the wings video on their vevo page and they are like less than 500k off 100,000,000 which is vevo certified!!!

Posted by: PaO_o 26th August 2014, 04:46 AM

Wowwww

I hope Wings reach to 100 millions before they release the first single of album3.

Posted by: JONES 30th August 2014, 11:22 AM

Yea looks like it it's only 20k away I think it will reach certification by the end of the day

Posted by: JONES 30th August 2014, 01:58 PM

It's certified!!!! Wooohooooo

Posted by: Ryan. 3rd September 2014, 06:34 PM

So across the three main social networks (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), the girls are telling us that we'll "need" these pages today and we need to share them! Is an announcement coming?

Posted by: *Tim 3rd September 2014, 06:44 PM

What pages?

Posted by: Ryan. 3rd September 2014, 06:55 PM

Their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages.

Working with Marina and the Diamonds, MNEK and Jess Glynne!!

and also Jessie J...

Posted by: JONES 20th October 2014, 04:28 PM

In an net review they said they are probably going to release it next year... I think that's best so to give proper promotion and hopefully album sales pick up with adele

Posted by: Jonjo 20th October 2014, 09:13 PM

Very intrigued to hear what direction they go with this album. Seems like they'll be going more Dance/R&B/Pop centric. Very excited!

Posted by: Sean. 22nd October 2014, 03:52 PM

Bet Little Mix are all like this because they get to work with the goddess that is Marina





Adele is going to dominate 2014, soz Little Mix

Nah seriously they'll probably release summer next year once they've selected a lead etc.



Almost as a product of DNA + Salute it appears. In terms of dance sound, interesting to see if they'll work with Xenomania?

Posted by: JONES 22nd October 2014, 07:14 PM

In I meant because adele is going to dominate hopefully it will bring album sales up and little mix can ride on that

Don't worry I know adele is queeeen

Posted by: Sean. 22nd October 2014, 08:38 PM

(Them, not you!)

If anything they should just do what they did with DNA and hope for fame because of the One Direction connection

Posted by: Electro Paradise 12th November 2014, 08:39 AM

Jade tap dancing

That video makes me very excited for their new material.

Posted by: PaO_o 13th November 2014, 05:54 AM

Yeah, Can't wait for the new album.

Posted by: Sean. 14th November 2014, 11:26 AM

Jade really annoys me so much, I genuinely think I'd like them more if she wasn't in the group!

EDIT: The song they were discussing at the start HAS to be Little Me Pt. II, please!!

Posted by: colinn 15th November 2014, 06:08 PM

Jade? You know I can understand when people say that about Jesy or Perrie as they can both be overbearing at times but... Jade? She is the most intelligent member and knows her stuff. I also find her to be the most creative and she seems the most involved in the business and writing side.

And please... no more 'Change Your Life', 'Little Me' etc. I'm done with that boring self belief crap, they both missed the top 10 when released.

Posted by: JONES 15th November 2014, 10:22 PM

No Grown sounds sooo good... All six seconds

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 16th November 2014, 02:58 AM

This post is so wrong on so many levels.

Basically what Colinn said.

Posted by: Sean. 16th November 2014, 01:53 PM

Jesy I find interesting and to me shes the most genuine and I love her voice; personally shes the best vocalist for me

I quite like the Change Your Life/Little Me tracks and have worked as post album singles despite not charting within the top ten!



I quite like Change Your Life/Little Me so....

Posted by: Electro Paradise 16th November 2014, 06:52 PM

I always think people are trolling when they say they like the Little Me / Change Your Life tracks.

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 17th November 2014, 12:18 AM

I like 'Change Your Life' and 'Little Me' but they need move on from these type of songs now.

Out of curiosity, why do you find Jade annoying? She's adorable.





They're decent songs in my opinion. They have so many better songs in their back catalogue though.

Posted by: Sean. 18th November 2014, 06:51 PM

As much as I like their leads of Wings/Move, I prefer their slower to midtempo material!

As for Jade I found her annoying wayyyyyy back on the on X-Factor, especially the way she stuck her nose up at the idea of being in a girl group and here she is now!

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 18th November 2014, 08:03 PM

She obviously wanted to make it as a solo artist but was given a second chance to be part of a group and ran with it. Maybe she wasn't too comfortable at the thought of being in a girl group at first but changed her mind after bonding so well with the other girls. People can change their minds you know.

Posted by: Sean. 18th November 2014, 08:04 PM

That is true. I just think for me shes overshadowed by Jesy, who I really like!

EDIT: Jade's annoying on Twitter too with all the guess who these shoes belong to....

Posted by: Jonjo 29th November 2014, 07:37 PM

What even is this Jade shade?! Any more and you will be banished from this forum, forever and everer. Jade's the STAR of the group.

Jade tweeted in some Q&A thing it's nearly done they want it to be perfect.

Posted by: barbaric_dan 9th December 2014, 11:29 PM

I'm surprised there wasn't a single out for XF. I wonder if single one will be released in time for BGT?

Posted by: Sean. 10th December 2014, 09:32 AM

That is what is annoying me; the criticisms LM/associated people towards Fifth Harmony for performing are completely unjustified if Little Mix themselves are incapable of getting their album done in time to have a launch platform for material. They'll probably get BGT so I wouldn't worry too much

Jess Glynne has told DigitalSpy that the tracks she's done with Little Mix are "very cool" and although not dancey ('Real Love'/'Rather Be'/'Hold My Hand' sort of dance that Jess Glynne is known for) they're "very fresh".

Jesy's boyfriend, Jake of Rixton had this to say on Twitter:

They're doing a live chat now and they have a "special announcement" apparently. Watch it below!

They've just said that album 3 is a lot more fun, colourful and more pop than 'Salute'.

Posted by: Will. 27th May 2015, 03:00 PM

Not sure if anyone listened to them on Radio 1 this morning, but they mentioned the album is planned for release between September and November (doubt it'll be as early as Sep), with a tour for February next year.

Posted by: billy. 29th May 2015, 01:52 PM

Is the album called As If By Magic?

Posted by: FROOT. 2nd June 2015, 11:54 PM

They've done an interview with Digital Spy and stated the Marina song is not on the album.

It also seems the scrapped album was R&B whilst this is very pop like 'Black Magic'.

Album title's intriguing!

I don't mind the title tbh

And that artwork is so stunning *.*

Posted by: Defaze 15th July 2015, 10:59 PM

Love the covers, but not keen on the title. Possibly because it reminds me of that woeful Aston Merrygold song. Plus, it just doesn't have a great ring to it. Eh, as long as the material is on point a la 'Black Magic', then I'm willing to overlook it.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 8th August 2015, 04:42 PM

NEW SONG ALERT !

An acoustic version of the song called 'The End' said to be on the Album



Hard to tell what the studio version will sound like but they are so solid and tight as a group the harmonies sounded lush . They all sounded AMAZING individually as well.

Posted by: JesyMix 8th August 2015, 07:20 PM

The song itself is acapella according to the girls.

I immediately love it and can't wait to hear the recorded version.

Posted by: Lovett™ 9th August 2015, 12:59 PM

"The End" is freaking gorgeous. I can't wait for the full studio version. This album is already shaping up to be great, I really hope it smashes for them.

Posted by: Robot 9th August 2015, 02:09 PM

Just watching a show on MTV with them on and they said a track on their album is like "DNA's sister". EXCITING.

Posted by: Sean. 21st August 2015, 03:19 PM

I think "Hair" is the track they worked with Jess Glynne on? I might be wrong!

Posted by: Juliano 22nd August 2015, 02:26 PM

So the girls announced today that you can pre-order their song "Hair" which we will be able to hear next week and will be available to stream on Spotify afterwards! I'm excited.

Posted by: Jonjo 22nd August 2015, 02:31 PM

Is this officially the second single, or is it just an instant grat? If it's up for pre-order then I guess that means it'll be the second single!

Very excited.

Posted by: Ryan. 22nd August 2015, 03:55 PM

I think it's just an instant grat unless they've changed their minds since this tweet yesterday:

Posted by: Juliano 23rd August 2015, 10:11 AM

Ahhh I didn't know this, seems strange for LM to be doing this in the UK market. But still I'm excited.

Posted by: Robot 27th August 2015, 01:10 PM

Listen to 'Hair' here:

https://jams.to/2015/08/little-mix-hair-full/

It's not a single, definitely just an album track but it's still a fun little track which definitely gives me more 'Salute' vibes than we got from 'Black Magic' which is promising, I like that they're sticking with that sound to some extent even if 'Black Magic' is now my favourite track of theirs.

Posted by: troylovesmusic 27th August 2015, 03:10 PM

LOVE Hair it's so feel good fun and catchy !

Posted by: Calum Hood 27th August 2015, 10:39 PM

Gosh they are getting it SO right this era! *.* Not their best song by any means, but still a really funky, cool song!

Posted by: JVSH 27th August 2015, 11:09 PM

I genuinely think this is more instant than Black Magic

Posted by: Jonjo 27th August 2015, 11:40 PM

'Hair' is brilliant and LOVE that they will be sticking with the 'Salute' sound in SOME form or another

Posted by: mr_pmt 27th August 2015, 11:54 PM

Slickly produced and a whole lotta fun. I like!

Posted by: Liаm 28th August 2015, 12:02 AM

I don't like it as much as Black Magic on first listen (even though that was more of a grower and now probably their 2nd best for me) but it's very solid, the production is amaze I agree <3

Posted by: Jaÿ 28th August 2015, 09:44 AM

Very good!

Posted by: Jonjo 28th August 2015, 10:56 AM

Almost top 10 on iTunes already!

Smashing it & rightfully so too!

Posted by: Robot 28th August 2015, 11:13 AM

I'm so shocked at how well this is doing as an instant grat, their popularity continues to surprise me! I hope this isn't second single though, I am becoming hooked on it but I stand by thinking it's not single material.

Posted by: Jonjo 28th August 2015, 11:22 AM

Yeah. 'Black Magic' couldn't have come at a better time in their career really. I'm astonished that they seem to be having longevity as a group and at this stage (far too early, I know) but I can see them "doing a Girls Aloud" and lasting for a good few years yet. I honestly thought by the end of era #3 we'd be having one more album and that's it. But their consisitency, success wise, is stunning and really gives me hope for the future for them and I'd argue they're bigger than ever right now.

EDIT: And it all helps that they're genuinely bringing the JAMS to go with it all (and not just getting hits because it's them etc..)

Posted by: J▲hq 28th August 2015, 03:31 PM

I'm not taking to this at all, I find it rather annoying.

If it did become a single it would comfortably be their worst for me.

Posted by: Ryan. 28th August 2015, 06:17 PM

I found this very underwhelming on first listen last night, it's nice but nothing more than an average track that could've easily been on 'Salute'. I hope the album is more along the lines of the pure pop of 'Black Magic' than 'Hair'.

Posted by: Juliano 28th August 2015, 07:46 PM

I live!

Posted by: andibob 5th September 2015, 08:28 AM

Haha.

I think it's just an acronym for "All Day I Dream About Sex". Sounds like an interesting concept for a song by them! Looking forward to hearing it!

Posted by: Robot 23rd September 2015, 03:08 PM

Oh wow, that sounds great! I was thinking to begin with "oh, this is very Salute" but then it progressed into something where you realise they've continued to grow (no pun intended) with their music; retaining their popular sound but mixing things up to stop things getting too samey. Credit to them, it's great to see how they push their sound and are continuing to experiment.

Really hope that duet slays as much as I think it will! *.*

Posted by: Jonjo 14th October 2015, 02:26 AM

Also, if you order via HMV, they have an exclusive Little Mix slipcase to go with the album!



Cuuuute.

Aaaaaaaaannnnndddddddd. There's a TINY clip of https://instagram.com/W31RDP30P13 out there! (https://twitter.com/LittleMix/status/653587616495968256 (this Friday))

It sounds SO GOOD. Even though it's STRAIGHT OUTTA THE 80's! *.*

+ we have some lyrics from 'A.D.I.D.A.S'

Jade's favourite lyric from the song apparently!

$l*t ANTHEM ALERT!!!!!

Posted by: Jonjo 14th October 2015, 07:49 PM

So they have announced a 'Love Me Like You: The Collection' to be released on Friday, which includes the album track 'Lightning', to which they've also stated that there will be another "surprise" on Friday!

EXCITING TIMES!

I was very much loving it until the beat drop. I hope that part grows on me but it seems completely misplaced for me

http://dopefile.me/embed/dfplayer/player.php?id=n341xw1yp3ia

This is good fun but it isn't really doing much for me either, apart from being a bit of sing along fun for the kiddy bops. I think I would have loved this if I didn't know what they were capable with, with the material last era. No denying how catchy it is though so I suppose it does what they want it to.

Posted by: Connor. 15th October 2015, 04:19 PM

Weird People.

Posted by: Regina 15th October 2015, 04:20 PM

I love both of them tbh, everything from this album is so strong.

Posted by: JVSH 15th October 2015, 10:17 PM

Play Weird People at my funeral.

Posted by: Jonjo 15th October 2015, 11:33 PM

Is 'Lightning' the 'DNA' sequel they were talking about? *.* Love it. Even the breakdown, which admittedly caught me off guard to start with, but I really like it. 'Weird People' is infectiously good. It's really, really catchy! Not single material, although if it was released I can actually see it being a pretty big hit for them.

LOVE both of them <3

Posted by: Regina 16th October 2015, 12:33 PM

The choir-ish bit after the second beat drop in Lightning tho

Posted by: Robot 16th October 2015, 06:27 PM

On the first listen, I was a bit disappointed by Weird People but I really can't get enough of it now, so infectious. I'm on the fence about whether it'd make a great single but it's kind of hard to resist as a bit of throwaway fun.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 16th October 2015, 10:08 PM

Not too sure on lightning so far, doesn't sound great on my first couple of listens

On the other hand Weird People is pure pop at it's best Listened to it so much today and it is such a fun song

Posted by: Juliano 16th October 2015, 10:46 PM

Wow, wow and wow... every track we've heard from the album sounds huge, I have to admit Hair is actually my least favourite, which pains me to say because I love it!

Posted by: Liаm 17th October 2015, 01:38 AM

Loving both Weird People and Lightning If everything else is of the standard they've set so far, this is going to be an album of the year contender!

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 17th October 2015, 10:17 AM

Lighting is the DNA 2 song Jade was banging on about I'm guessing.

Posted by: SeanGrey 17th October 2015, 10:21 AM

Prefer Weird People to Lightning.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 17th October 2015, 12:30 PM

Also starting to love Lightning now, such a great song now i'm used to the breakdown This could really be a strong contender for my album of the year at this rate!

Ranking so far:
1) Love Me Like You (100/10)
2) Black Magic (11/10)
3) Weird People (10/10)
4) Lightning (9/10)
5) Hair (7/10)

Posted by: Jonjo 19th October 2015, 07:46 PM

'Lightning' is fast becoming one of my firm favourites by them already! It's seriously phenomenal.

Posted by: Tombo 20th October 2015, 03:49 PM

Hair has become my favourite. Weird People is such a bop also!

Posted by: Davidson 20th October 2015, 08:00 PM

Must be the only one who isn't really feeling this era so far. I think it is because 'Salute' had no songs below a 7.5/10.0 but so far, what we've heard so far isn't filling me with much hope.

Black Magic - 9.0/10.0
Love Me Like You - 8.0/10.0
Hair - 7.5/10.0
Weird People - 6.5/10.0
Lightning - 6.0/10.0

I feel like it's all a big step back

Posted by: Tombo 21st October 2015, 05:53 PM

For me, Salute was the weakest era.

Posted by: Juliano 21st October 2015, 10:45 PM

I second that, the way I look at it is singles performence and potential singles.

DNA = 3 strong singles, 1 moderate.
Always Be Together, Stereo Soilder, Turn Your Face, We Are Who We Are, Red Planet and even Madhouse have atleast some kind of single potential.

Salute = 2 strong singles, 1 moderate.
Towers, Nothing Feels Like You and These Four Walls are the only clear ones for me.

And Get Wierd is just blowing up, but we will see.

Posted by: Juliano 26th October 2015, 06:16 PM

OMG is sounding good! A bit Fancy, Pretty Girlish, but better I think.

Posted by: Tombo 28th October 2015, 09:31 AM

OMG and I Love You both sound so good!

Posted by: Liаm 30th October 2015, 05:03 AM

Grown, the latest insant grat, is kinda crap Easily the weakest of the era so far, if not of their whole career... It's quite annoying. There are really good moments near the end but eh, really not feeling it.

Posted by: Robot 30th October 2015, 01:32 PM

Totally disagree! Been listening to Grown since the iTunes Festival performance and couldn't wait for the studio version and I absolutely love it, possibly my favourite of the non-singles so far personally!

Posted by: Joecula 30th October 2015, 01:52 PM

Grown is their best other than the two singles for me <3

Posted by: Juliano 30th October 2015, 04:27 PM

I love Grown! It's not my favourite of the instant grats, but it's up there!

Posted by: J▲hq the Ripper 30th October 2015, 07:31 PM

The hook is really catchy, other parts are annoying and I'm not feeling so much (some of the instrumental).

Posted by: Joe. 2nd November 2015, 09:02 AM

The album pre-order has zoomed up to #4 on Amazon. X Factor has done them wonders it seems.

Posted by: Ryan. 4th November 2015, 11:15 PM

I don't know if the song credits on Wikipedia are true, but if so then 'Secret Love Song' is co-written by the one and only Tich (Rachel Furner)!!

SECRET LOVE SONG *.*
JASON DERULO AUTOTUNE

Posted by: Jonjoltergeist👻 5th November 2015, 03:48 AM

'Secret Love Song' is seriously beautiful. The 2nd part specifically!

As a whole, this album is so SO good! Pure pop goodness from track 1, right through to track 16. Not one weak link. Oh mannnn. This album is gonna be stuck on repeat for a long time for me <3 So happy they managed to pull it off (not that I ever doubted they would).

No point in doing a first listen rate as I am just being a blind stan right now. So I'll give it a few more listens to sink in before I do a rate. But this is by far the best they've ever sounded, vocally. All 4 of their vocals!

Posted by: Joe. 5th November 2015, 04:07 PM

My CD arrived early. <3 Not had a chance to listen yet, probably won't until Spotify on the way to work tomorrow.

Hope this beats Ellie

Posted by: Jonjoltergeist👻 5th November 2015, 04:11 PM

I can't get over 'Secret Love Song'! It's gorgeous. Probably gonna become the 'Towers' of this album for me <3

EDIT: A lot of people aren't liking 'OMG' atm. I get why, it's probably my least favourite and can be quite annoying. It's essentially the song Charli XCX never wrote.

Posted by: JosephStyles 5th November 2015, 04:48 PM

Listening right now, A.D.I.D.A.S is my favourite aside from the singles so far, such a jam

Posted by: HausofKubrick 5th November 2015, 05:23 PM

I have listened ~ Nowhere near the standard of 'Salute' but then i think they set the bar too high for that to ever be beaten so maybe it's unfair to compare.. There are some complete dud moments ('OMG' being one of them and of course the song Jseoph is loving up there ^) but on the whole it's decent. Not much stood out as potential single material except for 'Secret Love Song' which is absolutely BEAUTIFUL.

SO all-in-all i enjoyed it, but if i was to listen to a LM album i'd pick 'Salute' over this any day. Hopefully a lot of the tracks grow more on me, but we'll see!

Posted by: Jonjoltergeist👻 5th November 2015, 05:41 PM

I agree that in terms of overall sound, it does perhaps seem a bit of a step back from 'Salute'. But it's definitely pure pop at it's finest for me. And as much as I'd love for another 'Salute' album, this sort of pop is what is selling for them.

Posted by: Regina 6th November 2015, 12:17 AM

Listening to the itunes previews and there isn't much exciting me which is a shame since the singles and Lightning are so good.

Posted by: Juliano 6th November 2015, 12:48 AM

I love the album, I just feel like its missing a dance track and has one too many ballads, even though they are all very nice, my favourites from the ones we didnt hear before are A.D.I.D.A.S. and I Won't, I could see OMG as a single, but its too much like Fancy.

...And Love Me or Leave Me is my favourite from the ballads.

Posted by: Maurice Horan 6th November 2015, 08:32 AM

Overall it's good album, it has too many ballads though. A.D.I.D.A.S and Weird People stand out for me.

Posted by: AdamAloud 6th November 2015, 08:41 AM

It's a good little pop album, but it's not as amazing as the 2 singles hyped it up to be. I've found that with Little Mix, the pre-album singles are all 10/10 that the albums are a bit of a let down for me. Maybe it'll be a grower and I do like 'Weird People' a lot, but I echo the sentiments that there is one ballad too many on here.

Posted by: Joe. 6th November 2015, 09:13 AM

Had my first listen this morning. It's Good. My favourites are Weird People and ADIDAS aside from the singles.

Posted by: Dane 6th November 2015, 01:25 PM

Really am loving this, it's a very strong album in my opinion. I love all of the songs so far, but Secret Love Song, Love Me or Leave Me (Leigh-Annes vocals!!!!!) & A.D.I.D.A.S. are my favorites at the moment.

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 6th November 2015, 02:46 PM

Posted by: KWEEN_DEE 7th November 2015, 01:05 PM

Ellie's lead single hasn't done that great.

Posted by: Jonjoltergeist👻 7th November 2015, 01:12 PM

So, SO pleased they're #1 in the mids

C'mon girls. You can do it!

Posted by: Joe. 7th November 2015, 01:18 PM

I think they might get overtaken by Elvis and Beatles unless they have a really strong lead. I just went to HMV to pick up the deluxe edition. Some miserable Gwen sympathiser has put Delierium in front of all Little Mix's albums. I did the work of Jade and undid this.

Posted by: Jonjoltergeist👻 7th November 2015, 01:27 PM

Haha. People actually do that? Lmao. GO JOE. *.*

I don't think I could. My OCD would prevent me from doing so lol. It's bad enough when one CD is in the DVD section coz someone didn't want it.

Posted by: ThePensmith 7th November 2015, 03:19 PM

Just got the album today...I've reviewed it for my blog so I won't say too much more other than LOVING IT! Just a really good, really strong pop album: http://alexscsb.com/2015/11/07/crazystupidalbum-little-mix-get-weird/

Posted by: Aaron. 7th November 2015, 03:25 PM

^ Good write up, but I'm shocked at all the mixed receptions for Secret Love Story.
I really wish they would have found someone better than Jason Derulo for the track really.

Posted by: UltraBasicWitch 7th November 2015, 03:45 PM

Possibly my favourite album this year, absolutely amazing

10 Black Magic Still one of the best pop tracks this year
11 Love Me Like You Still utterly amazing
10 Weird People Such a fun pop gem!
10 Secret Love Song (Ft Jason Derulo) Beautiful track with fantastic lyrics
08.5 Hair Like this but kind of glad there is less Salute-like tracks on this album
09.5 Grown So catchy!
07 I Love You Don't remember it too well tbh.
10 OMG Pretty much a great Charli XCX reject with the Fancy backing track. Superb
10 Lightning Amazing song and can imagine a video for this being utterly epic!
10 A.D.I.D.A.S Such a fan and joyful song, the last 30 seconds remind me so much of Love Me by Stooshe!
09 Love Me Or Leave Me Beautiful song with fantastic vocals
09 The End Love their acapella!
07 I Won't Good but more album filler than a great song
10 Secret Love Song Pt II Utterly beautiful against, listening to this again now (and crying again!)
06 Clued Up Definitely the weakest on the album. It feels like an acoustic version of what the track should be. I think it should be a lot more poppy/simillar to We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together as sounds quite simillar to that but it needs to be more poppy to be good in my view.
09 The Beginning Love their acapella again!

Posted by: HausofKubrick 7th November 2015, 03:46 PM

I just listened for a second time and it sounded a fair bit better than my first listen! A few of the songs I squirmed at initially sounded tolerable/good this time round I really like the two singles (obviously), 'Secret Love Song' both parts and 'Lightning' in particular. A fairly consistent album though and REALLY hope it manages to stay ahead of Ellie this week.

Posted by: ThePensmith 7th November 2015, 03:47 PM

Why thank you I agree, I think with anyone else on the track 'Secret Love Song' wouldn't actually be that bad. It's a bit like Demi Lovato was never right for 'Up' with Olly, evident in the fact that Ella Eyre did a better version of it with him on tour!

Posted by: Jonjoltergeist👻 7th November 2015, 04:33 PM

Great review. I don't agree with your (and a few others it seems!) thoughts on 'Secret Love Song'. I think Jason fits quite nicely with the girls. Yeah the autotune is too much at one part of the song, but that just makes the girls shine even more in their parts for me!

11.0 'Black Magic'
10.0 'Love Me Like You'
09.0 'Weird People'
10.0 'Secret Love Song' (feat. Jason Derulo)
09.0 'Hair'
08.0 'Grown'
06.5 'I Love You'
06.5 'OMG'
10.0 'Lightning'
08.5 'A.D.I.D.A.S.'
09.5 'Love Me Or Leave Me'
08.5 'The End'
07.0 'I Won't'
10.0 'Secret Love Song, Pt II'
07.5 'Clued Up'
08.0 'The Beginning'

<3 Loooooveeeeeee.

Posted by: Jaÿ 8th November 2015, 03:19 AM

Secret Love Song Pt 2 is utterly stunning.

Posted by: Hurricane 8th November 2015, 07:13 AM

The album is such a disappointing listen for me, maybe even more so after the great album that was 'Salute' It's such a shame, whereas sometimes, on their previous albums, I felt like the lyrics, production or vocals were at fault and some of the potentially good songs were let down by these, well on this one we pretty much have a bunch of well written, produced and sung shitty songs. I don't know what's worse between that and the other option.

THAT BEING SAID. 'Secret Love Song' is absolutely gorgeous and surely that MUST be the next single? They sound so good on it. I do think Jason Derulo is a bit of stretch in terms of collaboration, at least when it comes to the girls, that being said, he works just fine on the song and I'm sure they can make something out of his name if/when they release it.

I'll probably just keep 'Black Magic', 'Love Me Like You', 'Get Weird', 'Lightning' and 'Secret Love Song'.

Posted by: Joe. 8th November 2015, 02:54 PM

A.D.I.D.A.S though

Posted by: Jack 8th November 2015, 07:23 PM

Strong album, better than DNA but nothing on Salute. Although the singles have been completely on point this era so far.

My favourites are Secret Love Song, OMG and Lightning on first listen. Some of the slower ones are a bit repetitive/annoying but I think this album will be a grower.

Posted by: Jonjoltergeist👻 9th November 2015, 12:50 AM

'I Love You' is really creeping up my affections! Such a beautiful little number <3

Oh dear, Little Mix have lost pace in the album race, Elvis is going to beat them.

Ellie up to 3.

Shame they had such little promo this week - could end up at #4 by Friday but hopefully they have good sales.

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 9th November 2015, 04:40 PM

Yeah. I reckon #4 will be about right. They should've had that promo in between XF and done SCLSP2!

I knew top 2 was too good to be true

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 9th November 2015, 06:31 PM

Just seen the sales so far:

01. Little Mix - Get Weird 34,716
02. Elvis Presley - If I Can Dream 34,150
03. Ellie Goulding - Delirium 25,522

Top 3 on lock I think. I'd say they're safe for top 2 too, but we've seen gaps close quickly before so Ellie could potentially still get there. But we'll see. I'm confident in a number 2 album at least though!

Thanks to Joe. For making me aware of this!

(Also, 'Love Me Like You' is looking safe for a top 15 position!)

Posted by: troylovesmusic 9th November 2015, 07:01 PM

I agree with this so much . I just love Jesy's voice I just love the emotion she brings to her voice on the ballads . And her smooth sultry tone she brings to the uptempos . Her and Jades voices are my favourite in the group .

Posted by: Joe. 9th November 2015, 08:37 PM

It's a great shame that the girls will miss the top spot. But I have to say their sales are a lot higher than I expected! I was thinking 35k for an end of week sales, not on a Monday midweek!

Posted by: pippa 9th November 2015, 09:11 PM

I am bitterly disappointed they will not get number 1, but, with some luck their sales will pick up and they reclaim the top position.

Posted by: Joe. 9th November 2015, 09:36 PM

With 1D/Beeb next week and Adele for the 100 weeks after that, this was their only chance to get #1 with this. Which is why I don't understand why they didn't take full advantage of this week and do a lot more promo (and why the Get Weird advert is hardly being shown, but Ellie's is everywhere?!)

I'm certain the album will remain consistent over Q4 considering they have performances on Alan Carr, Sunday Brunch, Loose women, Royal Variety and the BBC Music awards over the next month!

Posted by: Hurricane 10th November 2015, 12:57 AM

Maybe their budget is limited?

I mean isn't Ellie pretty much a worldclass act by now? Little Mix managed to have a few success here and there overseas, but surely it isn't comparable. I'm guessing Ellie just has more money thrown at her and quite frankly, it's understandable.

Posted by: Jaÿ 10th November 2015, 01:07 AM

She's over 9k behind Little Mix in the UK midweeks. Remains to be seen what happens overseas. Perhaps Little Mix's apparent limited budget will pay off better than the money being thrown into Ellie.

I do feel like Ellie's is the more likely album to sell better over time, but who knows... it really depends on whether her next singles do well. Before this week I would have said Ellie was a dead cert to chart higher than Little Mix in the albums chart.

Posted by: Hurricane 10th November 2015, 06:09 PM

I would have said the same. It's really a feat that Little Mix managed to already sell that much. It shows they have a decent fanbase and they can connect with the British public to a certain extent!

Posted by: Joe. 11th November 2015, 01:15 PM

Album is of course down to #2 now, but it's looking pretty safe in that position.

Elvis 60k
Little Mix 45k
Ellie 32k
Beatles 19k

Crazy huge sales for LM, they sold 5097 yesterday, so if they keep that up, which they should because there's still streaming data missing, it'll be their fastest opening!

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 11th November 2015, 02:17 PM

So incredibly proud of them. It's amazing what a massive number 1 hit does for an era! Also, although its not gone top 10, 'Love Me Like You' was the perfect choice gor selling the album.

Posted by: Joe. 11th November 2015, 02:24 PM

Poor The Saturdays/What About Us

Posted by: Juliano 11th November 2015, 02:29 PM

To be fair they did get Top 10, which I doubt they would have without it, as much as I love Disco Love (Black Magic part 1) hahaha!

Posted by: Liаm 11th November 2015, 03:02 PM

So glad this selling well <3 Excellent album! After a few listens I'd rate it:

11 Black Magic
10 Love Me Like You
09 Weird People
09.5 Secret Love Song (ft. Jason DeRulo)
09 Hair
03 Grown
08 I Love You
09 OMG (it's what Pretty Girls should have been, a bit more funky and with "better" attitude!)
08.5 Lightning (I kinda get how it's DNA part 2 but it cant' hold a candle to DNA <3 I love the gothicy choir bit though!)
08.5 A.D.I.D.A.S.
09 Love Me Or Leave Me
07 I Won't (the keyboard in the riff sounds really cheap )
10 Secret Love Song Pt II (honestly I think this could steal the 11 from Black Magic which says a LOT given BM is probably my current song of the year )
07 Clued Up
06.5 The Beginning

Ridiculously consistent album! So strong on the standard edition. The non SLS bonus tracks are kinda weak compared to most of the standards and Grown is irriating af but apart from that, yaaaaaaaaaaaaasss.

Posted by: Defaze 11th November 2015, 03:09 PM

'Grown' is actually one of my favourites on the album. I'm holding out hope that a remixed version with a little more oomph will be released as single 4, a la 'How Ya Doin?'.

Fantastic sales. I can't believe they're beating out Ellie by such a large margin, and it's kind of hard to be frustrated about Elvis pipping them to #1 when his sales are that impressive. #2 with their (likely) highest sales debut yet is a brilliant achievement regardless.

Posted by: pippa 11th November 2015, 07:26 PM

Number 2 is a done deal now which is their highest peak to date in the album chart. I in honesty thought Ellie Goulding would outsell Little Mix and they would be number 2 or 3 but i did not foresee Elvis beating them. Elvis entering at number 1 last week bored me, and this week its much worse.

Posted by: Cameron 11th November 2015, 11:59 PM

Secret Love Song is incredible. Unpopular opinion but I would love to hear Tich's demo...

Jason's vocals ruin it though, he sounds like a robot

Posted by: Slick 11th November 2015, 11:59 PM

Listening to this now. Initial thoughts are that they've got the singles spot on, but the album isn't living up to 'Salute' which is genuinely one of the best girlband albums of recent times. Then again, it's still a strong album so far and I totally understand if they've had to go a bit poppier to appeal to the little girls. 'Salute' was always going to be hard to match, and near impossible to beat.

Bit gutting they missed the No.1, but 60,503 sales is very impressive and puts them in a good position for the future!

Posted by: Robot 13th November 2015, 06:30 PM

Wow, was expecting it to only JUST beat the DNA sales, wasn't expecting 60k sales at all?! That's absolutely fantastic for them and as someone said, Elvis's album was so far ahead, it's hard to really begrudge or be mad at it. So happy at how this has all gone.

In most countries their best charting album. Should also have a nice top 5 debut on the global chart.

Posted by: Robot 14th November 2015, 01:53 PM

Wow, I mean, I know that releasing it in November means higher sales but I'd still never have imagined it would've sold more than Jess Glynne's! So good for them.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 14th November 2015, 08:58 PM

Tbf, although I understand them waiting until they could get the X-Factor promo, if they had released it 2 weeks earlier, I think they would have gotten that number one, as even without the XF i doubt 5SOS would have had more sales than them, and then they could have used XF to keep it top 3 or 5 in the next couple of weeks. But tbh it's a small complaint, because i'm so unbelievably proud of those figures

Posted by: Joe. 16th November 2015, 02:32 PM

#5 in the midweeks, with pretty much nothing coming for them, so they should remain top 5! Looking at roughly 25 - 30k this week

Jess Glynne is the only person who could possibly push them down to #6, but they still sold more than her yesterday.

Posted by: Serg Mix 16th November 2015, 03:18 PM

Very nice.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 16th November 2015, 07:32 PM

Yaaaaas so pleased this looks to be a constant hit for them

Posted by: shindymindy 17th November 2015, 12:43 PM

Any update on the albums midweek position and sales?

Posted by: Joe. 17th November 2015, 12:59 PM

Only yesterday - 5 with 12810 so far. It'll be at #5 still today.

Posted by: UltraChristmas 17th November 2015, 01:42 PM

Not sure if it has been posted here but they are performing at the BBC Music Awards next month

Posted by: Joe. 17th November 2015, 01:48 PM

It has. What do you think they'll perform. I'm sure it'll be time to push single 3 by then, but I'd love another mash-up of Love Me Like You/Magic Magic

Posted by: pippa 17th November 2015, 02:50 PM

It would be wonderful if the album can remain Top 10 through the high sales period of Christmas. If so, they may achieve their biggest selling album in addition to their highest charting album. For mos,t if not all girl/boybands, sales start to decline on album 3, it is wonderful to see this not happen with them. I feel Little Mix have yet to have that big moment,i hope they do eventually get it even if it is in the era to follow Get Weird. They have and continue to do well but they need that huge moment.

Posted by: UltraChristmas 17th November 2015, 02:55 PM

I think they'll do a Love Me Like You/Black Magic mash-up again! Hoping they push Secret Love Song on X-Factor final and push it as a single from then!

Posted by: TheGrinch 17th November 2015, 03:11 PM

A.D.I.D.A.S for single four please, it's absolutely incredible and is a perfect single release for BGT.

Posted by: Joe. 17th November 2015, 03:37 PM

The label are going to have more money to spend on them after this era with increasing album sales / huge amounts of tour tickets sold, so I can definitely see album 4 being their Out of Control moment. Though, I can see them stringing this out and having a Get Weird re-release this time next year, or maybe even in the summer, to get it to #1.




I really hope so! I have a feeling it'll be Black Magic again, but their Royal Variety performance of Love Me Like You is airing the same week, so they could potentially get a new peak for it, since both are high rated shows (RV getting more than XF).



I think ADIDAS or OMG for 4th single, the definitely need an up tempo after a mid tempo and ballad...I lean more towards to OMG, as I feel the public would warm to that more, but they both seem like good choices.

Posted by: Serg Mix 17th November 2015, 06:33 PM

Please not A.D.I.D.A.S. , OMG is far better and more catchy. But who knows if they'll have 4 singles at all.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 17th November 2015, 07:07 PM

I'd personally like to see Lightening as single 4, the video would be everything, plus it's one of my favourite non ballads yet to be a single. Though I agree, I think they'll go with OMG, as it's very radio friendly, so I could see it doing well

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 17th November 2015, 07:27 PM

'OMG' is the worst on the album though. Not that it's particularly "bad". It's just annoying and not in the "annoyingly catchy" sense. If Charli can't get hits with that sound... 'A.D.I.D.A.S.' could do quite similarly to 'How Ya Doin?' I think. Probably due to the topic of the song, it could be considered a controversial choice for them and I think it'd be a success and that it'd pay off for them.

Posted by: Joe. 18th November 2015, 02:34 PM

Album still #5, with a 7k lead over #6. Almost 5k sold yesterday, so they're looking at #33k, which will be the highest sales for #5 of the year.

I'd go for Hair as single 4 personally, don't think OMG or A.D.I.D.A.S would work.

Posted by: Juliano 19th November 2015, 07:06 PM

Hair would be one of my last choices.

Posted by: UltraChristmas 19th November 2015, 07:11 PM

Personally I'd go for weird people for single 4!

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 19th November 2015, 08:13 PM

'Hair' would be good actually and so would 'Weird People' actually.

Posted by: pippa 20th November 2015, 12:17 PM

This era is going wonderfully well for them. Whatever the choice of single, i hope the release is handled well and they promote. It could easily result in their biggest selling album by far.

Posted by: shindymindy 24th November 2015, 10:36 AM

Hopefully it stays in the top 10 during the Christmas period.
Do they have much in terms of performances coming up?

Posted by: Joe. 24th November 2015, 11:00 AM

Confirmed
Royal Variety - December 7th ITV
BBC Music Awards - December 10th BBC1

There's also potential slots with Text Santa (which I know they've been working on the campaigns with), X Factor Final, John Bishop Christmas special as well as the last Jonathan Ross and Graham Nortons.

Posted by: shindymindy 24th November 2015, 01:29 PM

Thanks - good luck to them. They're doing really well so far!

Posted by: mixer01 24th November 2015, 01:39 PM

Please tell me they are performing Love Me Like You. I'm so gutted it's missed its top 10 chance.

I feel like they could push the Christmas Mix during this time (even though it's already been released) maybe with an alternate video...

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 24th November 2015, 04:22 PM

Yeah, Royal Variety is definitely for LMLY! (reports are saying they were one of the main highlights! *.*)

I'm quite confident they'll get an XF Final slot too!

Posted by: UltraChristmas 24th November 2015, 05:36 PM

Confirmed for Top Of The Pops Not sure if Christmas or New Year one though

Posted by: mixer01 24th November 2015, 05:39 PM

Holding thumbs for the Christmas edition and a LMLY performance!

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 24th November 2015, 06:00 PM

Christmas version of 'Love Me Like You' please *.*

Also, New Year for 'Black Magic' please (That's the one where they celebrate the year, isn't it?)

Posted by: Joe. 24th November 2015, 07:06 PM

They've had enough success to be one of the artists that get both, so fingers crossed. LMLY for xmas and Black Magic for NY!

If they're just doing 1 of the 2 it'll probably be Black Magic though, which will be great for gift cards.

Posted by: mixer01 24th November 2015, 07:21 PM

I'm still hoping miraculously they go with Weird People as the 3rd single and promote that in the new year, it's the perfect dance jam. Instead of Perrie Edwards feat. Jason Derulo - Secret Love Song lol.

Posted by: Joe. 24th November 2015, 08:19 PM

I much prefer the up-tempos, but if they've got an X Factor final performance, I think they'd be silly not to push this (especially if they can get Jason to come over for a performance the way Demi did last year with Olly), I think it'll work if they kick it off within the last two weeks of December.

Posted by: Serg Mix 24th November 2015, 11:58 PM

I somehow feel they are not putting single just yet. I hope next one is actually OMG and they try in America with it. It's just a JAM. I don't quite like idea of Weird People as single tbh.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 25th November 2015, 02:55 AM

I know it's unlikely, but if they're going for a ballad, for a late dec/early new year release, I really think they should consider LMOLM. It's easily the best ballad on the album, and the really strong, emotional, feels creating feeling of the song would tie in perfectly with the depressing side of the cold winter months. Plus they would slay the house down with the vocals on an x factor finale performance. It could persuade the more wishy washy followers to pick up a copy of GW, as well as others; more than SLS could imo

Posted by: mixer01 25th November 2015, 05:59 AM

As much as I like OMG, it really is jumping on a trend too late with its DJ Mustard tribute beat/Iggy Azalea sound. The girls also sound so annonymous on it, if OMG was played randomly on radio I for one would struggle to recognize it as a Little Mix song!

I can see radio hammering Weird People the same way they hammered Black Magic, Weird People is like the Prince to Black Magic's Cyndi Lauper which is the sound this era is about, the chorus chants the album's title - what better way to sell the album? The music video would obviously also be quite something, the song is made to be performed on BGT and high profile dance reality shows

Posted by: mixer01 25th November 2015, 01:00 PM

I must say I have been quite dismissive of the album at first but some songs are really clicking with me now, Love Me Or Leave Me, and I Love You in particular I found very forgettable at first but now love. The "I Love You" background vocals at the end are fantastic.

Hair is still very annoying for me though, and Lightning which as a 3 minute song would be great - I still find very messy especially the trap breakdown which when I listen to in earphones is actually painful

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 25th November 2015, 03:32 PM

Yay. Someone else who appreciates 'I Love You'.

Posted by: mixer01 25th November 2015, 05:25 PM

The album dropped 13-90 on the US Billboard 200

Posted by: Juliano 25th November 2015, 07:07 PM

No worries, the massive profit they made from this era will help towards making the next album smash! I would love a Little Mix Stargate song!

Posted by: mixer01 25th November 2015, 07:23 PM

I think they needed to make a lot of profit to begin with, with the scrapped album and all? Though I agree this album is doing wonders, the fact they're neck and neck with One Direction...

I'd love them to work with Mike Will Made It tbh!

Posted by: Joe. 25th November 2015, 07:51 PM

They've been gaining on 1D daily (not that it's competition - but it's interesting to track) and actually outsold them yesterday for the first time, and it looks like they'll keep increasing on them. They won't overtake them this week, but it looks like they will net week. They'll also overtake Enya next week too and the only top 5 contender I can think of is The Vamps (unless the Corrs and Overtones have a bigger fanbases than I'm expecting), so a return to the top 5 is looking possible.

They're also looking to hit almost 35k this week which is an increase on last Friday's total. Love me Like You was an excellent choice for the lead in.

Posted by: mixer01 25th November 2015, 08:29 PM

Little Legends!

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 26th November 2015, 01:00 AM

The album is £6.99 on amazon's black Friday deals until 1st Dec. So if you want a copy... *.* (standard version)

Posted by: Juliano 26th November 2015, 01:28 AM

True actually, I didn't think about that! A collab with Mike would be soooo awesome, also I wouldn't be impartial to anything of the following with Lukey, Max Martin, Zedd, Darkchild (as long as it's not as a let down as Lease My Love) or imagine Ryan Lewis... I can't imagine them suiting Guetta, Avicii, RedOne or Calvin Harris... but I would be open to hearing something! I dream wide and big.

Posted by: HausofKubrick 26th November 2015, 07:36 AM

'I Love You'

Who is it that sings the falsetto throughout the final verse of this? What a beauty. Is it Jesy?

Posted by: Jonjeur East 🎷 26th November 2015, 10:25 AM

Yeah. That's Jesy. (If it's the part I'm thinking of!).

Posted by: mixer01 26th November 2015, 12:13 PM

How underrated is Jesy though? From that elusive chanteuse vocal range in I Love You to her sex kitten candy floss vocals in A.D.I.D.A.S. I also can't get enough goosebumps from Leigh-Anne's MOMENT in Love Me Or Leave Me!

Posted by: Joe. 26th November 2015, 12:18 PM

I saw that! I wonder if it substantially increases their sales?

Posted by: mixer01 26th November 2015, 12:24 PM

Hopefully! It would be great if the album could stay top 10 right through Christmas! The promo lined up should help quite a bit too I'd imagine, especially if SLS does end up getting pushed as well.

Posted by: Joe. 26th November 2015, 01:10 PM

Sales will increase for the album week-on-week now, as we get into December. They're looking very good for going platinum by Christmas. They'll probably go Platinum with Salute along the way, too.

Posted by: Joe. 27th November 2015, 04:59 PM

35.2k sales this week, which increases last week's total. Unless the Corrs are top 5 contenders, Get Weird should return to the top 5 next Friday!

See sales thread for full sales.

Posted by: mixer01 27th November 2015, 06:04 PM

Top 5 would be fantastic! Overtaking One Direction next week would be even better - I need Simon to realize where his priorities should lie

Posted by: mixer01 28th November 2015, 12:14 PM

Just saw the Music Week report...

5 One Direction 36,543
6 Little Mix 35,227

They came so close in the end! Shocked! They should surpass 1D with ease this week then!

The sales are going to be even bigger next week!

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 2nd December 2015, 10:19 PM

Those sales were for yesterday actually, so they could push for 50k

Posted by: shindymindy 3rd December 2015, 12:50 PM

Brilliant!
If they stay top 5 next week I can see them beating their opening weeks sales.

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 3rd December 2015, 01:16 PM

They definitely will the two weeks leading up to Christmas I think, possibly upwards of 70k a week. Could this be their first album to go double platinum?

Here's a trailer for Royal Variety:

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 4th December 2015, 02:04 PM

Their promo has been SPECTACULAR this era!

Absolutely fantastic news <3

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 4th December 2015, 02:15 PM

Assuming they are performing SLS on Christmas Day (Ideally there is still hope of an XF performance and AC is sustaining the promo)? They also have TOTP on Christmas day as promo. It's important as people will be getting iTunes gift cards for Christmas.

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 4th December 2015, 02:47 PM

I'm just happy it's all paying off for them! More often than not lately, artists have had great promo and not really performed to expectations!

I can see them doing 'Black Magic' on Alan Carr though. They've already done LMLY on there, unless they decide to do a Christmas cover again?

Posted by: XhannahlongX 4th December 2015, 04:58 PM

Where was the alan carr line up announced?

Posted by: pippa 4th December 2015, 08:40 PM

Almost 50,000 sales added for the last 7 days. Wonderful result.

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 4th December 2015, 09:02 PM

2-5-6-4
#2 Week 1 - 60,053
#5 Week 2 - 32,989
#6 Week 3 - 35,227
#4 Week 4 - 49,430
Total: 178,316

They should be roughly just about top 20 in the highest selling albums of the year now! The album sales should increase week-on-week now, but even if they sold the same as this week (50k) every week until Christmas, they'd still make Platinum with 330k!

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 4th December 2015, 09:28 PM

Amazing! So proud of them! I think the fact that LMLY appears to be such a grower for a lot of people i've spoken to, has made it the perfect single to promote a long, and successful campaign
But to be platinum by christmas is absolutely phenomenal

Posted by: Aphrodite 6th December 2015, 05:59 PM

They should manage 50,000 at worst this week but hopefully even more. 250,000 wont be far off when this week is counted in.

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 7th December 2015, 09:49 AM

Little Mix confirmed to perform at Text Santa on (I think) the 17th of December this year: http://www.atvtoday.co.uk/74933-textsanta/

So I'm assuming this week is the final push for Love Me Like You, with Live Lounge today, and Royal Variety Performance tomorrow and possibly BBC Music awards on Thursday. And then they're moving onto Secret Love Song next week, with Alan Carr and Text Santa for promo over the coming weeks. (Hopefully X Factor too!)

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 7th December 2015, 09:53 AM

Live Lounge canceled!

Posted by: shindymindy 7th December 2015, 03:01 PM

Posted by: Robot 7th December 2015, 07:45 PM

Didn't know where to put this but the Top Of The Pops holidays line-ups have been named with no sight of Little Mix. There's a lot less well known names like Grace so I'm guessing they just weren't available.

Yeah the filming was today. And they didn't turn up. They were meant to sing Black Magic for NYE and LMLY for Xmas day. Eek. No more partying all night when you have promo the next day Perrie and Jade!

Posted by: Leonagwen 8th December 2015, 01:12 AM

Why aren't they releasing a second Usa single?

Posted by: Juliano 8th December 2015, 10:26 AM

I'm going to guess that Secret Love Song will be the second US single.

Posted by: mixer01 8th December 2015, 01:11 PM

Oh gosh! Mess! First Live Lounge and now TOTP. Perrie and Jade are clearly worn out I'd imagine There goes all our aspirations for a LMLY rebound lol.

Posted by: SeanGrey 8th December 2015, 01:13 PM

In their defence they have been working incredibly hard so probably needed a break!

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 8th December 2015, 01:15 PM

Well it's on RV tonight anyway. I'm starting to think it won't get a huge rebound, but I hope it can do enough to keep it top 20 for another week.

Preview of their performance here:

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 8th December 2015, 04:03 PM

I can see the RVP performance helping the album a lot more than the single. It's perfect for the (i assume) older audience.

Posted by: Camilla Melissa 8th December 2015, 11:35 PM

i think they cancelled live lounge this week to perform secret love song later
they are already recording the music video

Posted by: Robot 9th December 2015, 11:13 AM

Don't think it's confirmed and I don't know where to put this but it's rumoured they're doing a duet medley with 1D at the weekend on X Factor, like that of 1D/JLS!

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 9th December 2015, 11:16 AM

I hope that because they're on they can perform the new single, as 1D are doing.

BBC Music Awards tomorrow evening! What do you all think they'll do? I'm expecting Black Magic, but I'd prefer a LMLY/BM medley as similarly seen on X Factor.

Posted by: pippa 9th December 2015, 03:06 PM

Performing at the X Factor final can do nothing but boost sales of the album which is wonderful. I am hoping for excellent sales for Get Weird over the next 3 weeks.

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 9th December 2015, 03:24 PM

Get Weird's sales are down quite a bit compared to last week, but they should still clear 40k this week.

Posted by: Robot 10th December 2015, 12:38 PM

Been confirmed Little Mix and Fleur East are performing together! I can imagine this being amazing on a similar level to their Salute BGT performance with Diversity.

Posted by: SeanGrey 10th December 2015, 12:53 PM

Interested to see them and Fleur performing together!

Posted by: Serg Mix 10th December 2015, 01:22 PM

Yes

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 10th December 2015, 01:23 PM

I'm torn because this performance will be everything. But pushing Black Magic and Sax again won't do much for either of them. I assume that's what it'll be.

Posted by: shindymindy 10th December 2015, 02:19 PM

Would have preferred it to be SLS that they would perform but great either way as it will help the album out

Posted by: Robot 10th December 2015, 04:28 PM

Sometimes I don't even care about all the sales / helping shit, this performance is gonna be incredible which is most important to me

I guess this duet explains why X Factor have randomly taken down Little Mix and Fleur's X Factor performances from Youtube for what seems like no reason to me...

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 10th December 2015, 05:43 PM

YES! I was wondering why they'd done that Really gutted coz I watched it like 8 times in a row the other day, but I had to google for a link. Extremely excited for this performance!

Posted by: Camilla Melissa 10th December 2015, 11:16 PM

does anyone know their promo schedule for the next weeks?

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 10th December 2015, 11:28 PM

X factor, Text Santa, Alan Carr.

Posted by: Camilla Melissa 10th December 2015, 11:58 PM

thank you joe x

Posted by: shindymindy 11th December 2015, 09:30 AM

Album down to £7.99 on Amazon. Should help get a few more sales.

Posted by: Serg Mix 11th December 2015, 03:42 PM

Anyone knows how much did Get Weird sell in Ireland and Australia?

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 11th December 2015, 07:58 PM

#2 Week 1 - 60,053
#5 Week 2 - 32,989
#6 Week 3 - 35,227
#4 Week 4 - 49,430
#6 Week 5 - 47,122
Total: 225,438

I can see it doing about 60k this coming week.

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 11th December 2015, 08:06 PM

AHHHH. Platinum the week after, no matter what then

Posted by: shindymindy 12th December 2015, 12:42 AM

So we could have 2 weeks of over 60k / 70k of sales for the album what with the promo they have.

Posted by: shindymindy 12th December 2015, 10:21 PM

Little Mix and Fleur were awesome together. What a performance

Posted by: Serg Mix 12th December 2015, 11:24 PM

Amazing

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 13th December 2015, 03:05 AM

Oh. Wow. That performance was fantastic! Everything about it and the way the two songs worked together... just brilliant.

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 13th December 2015, 05:11 AM

EPIC PERFORMANCE!

Easily the best guest(s) performance of the series.

Posted by: SeanGrey 13th December 2015, 07:13 PM

Didn't like how the girls sang some of Fleur's parts and vice versa but yes, fabulous mash up!

Posted by: Serg Mix 13th December 2015, 10:38 PM

Guys what do you think will Girls get any BRIT nominations this time?

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 13th December 2015, 10:50 PM

Black Magic was a huge hit, I would hope it might get them a brit nomination

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 14th December 2015, 01:57 AM

I can see 'Black Magic' getting a "Best British Single" nod. But apart from that, I can't see much else unfortunately. As much as I'd love to see them get something either for "Best British Album" or "Best British Group", I can't imagine it. I also believe they have a genuine shot at winning the BRIT for British Single, too! (Well, depending on if 'Hello' will be nommed - not sure when the cut off point for the BRITs is)

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 14th December 2015, 02:34 AM

tbh I was floored when they weren't nominated for best british group after Salute, the album was flawless, and i think i remember a lot of critics raving about it; so i wouldn't be shocked if they were robbed again. And i'd love it if Get Weird got a nom, but i really doubt it as well.

I think they stand a chance (and should win) for best brit single, but I can see it going to years and years - King, or something like that

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 14th December 2015, 02:47 AM

Is the British Single award voted for by fans?

Posted by: Robot 14th December 2015, 03:01 AM

If it is, then Drag Me Down will probably win...

Posted by: Liаm 14th December 2015, 03:25 AM

I don't think it's public voted is it? I think music video is a fan vote but I don't think best british single is - if it is usually then god knows how Waiting All Night managed to win in 2014

Must be quite late - Uptown Funk won this year despite a December release!

Posted by: Serg Mix 14th December 2015, 10:45 AM

I wanted them to get British Group so bad

Posted by: SeanGrey 14th December 2015, 12:13 PM

It took Girls Aloud so much longer to get a nomination, the girls will obviously release another few albums so they'll definitely get at least a nomination one day!

Posted by: Gingerbread Cam 15th December 2015, 02:08 PM

This will probably be the exact same as the year The Sats would have been nominated for Best Single had they kept the number from long list of the previous year. The Brits don't seem to see girl bands and their potential

Posted by: Robot 15th December 2015, 06:12 PM

I don't see how they can't be nominated, as of last week, these are the British entries in the top 50 of the year (taking out 2nd biggest singles from artists / Uptown Funk / Thinking Out Loud):

3 - 3 - 1,215,000 - 1,503,000 - Hozier - Take Me To Church - 09/08/14 - 2
4 - 4 - 1,162,000 - 1,162,000 - Ellie Goulding - Love Me Like You Do - 14/02/15 - 1
7 - 7 - 975,500 - 1,035,500 - James Bay - Hold Back The River - 06/12/14 - 2
8 - 8 - 897,500 - 897,500 - Years & Years - King - 14/03/15 - 1
9 - 12 - 893,000 - 893,000 - Adele - Hello - 05/11/15 - 1

20 - 20 - 720,500 - 720,500 - Calvin Harris & Disciples - How Deep Is Your Love - 30/07/15 - 2
24 - 24 - 654,000 - 654,000 - Philip George - Wish You Were Mine - 10/01/15 - 2
25 - 25 - 631,000 - 631,000 - Little Mix - Black Magic - 23/07/15 - 1 - 1
28 - 27 - 600,000 - 729,000 - Ed Sheeran - Photograph - 05/07/14 - 15
33 - 32 - 560,500 - 690,500 - Olly Murs Ft Demi Lovato - Up - 06/12/14 - 4
34 - 33 - 551,000 - 551,000 - Tinie Tempah ft Jess Glynne - Not Letting Go - 04/07/15 - 1

Little Mix sit in 9th and there's usually 10.

Posted by: Gingerbread Cam 15th December 2015, 06:22 PM

Ooo that is great news!

Posted by: Camilla Melissa 15th December 2015, 11:25 PM

I think they will get a nom for best british video bc black magic is already vevo certified and this category is fan vote
andI really hope they will also be nominated for best british group but I think years and years will won this one
fingers crossed for british single then

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 15th December 2015, 11:32 PM

British video is a good shout for a nom too actually! And it'd deserve to win coz the 'Black Magic' video is just as flawless as them and the song. <3

Posted by: Camilla Melissa 15th December 2015, 11:38 PM

did the girls recorded for totp? or graham norton?

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 15th December 2015, 11:56 PM

I believe they only have Alan Carr now. They were scheduled for TOTP, but they pulled out because two of the girls lost their voices the night before. It was scheduled to be recorded the same day as they were supposed to be doing the R1 live lounge Christmas special

Posted by: Camilla Melissa 15th December 2015, 11:59 PM

ohhh this would be such a good promo for them...
they will have 3 weeks of vacations now I hope the album will keep selling good

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 16th December 2015, 08:35 AM

Don't they have Text Santa on Friday too?

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 16th December 2015, 10:47 AM

Ohhh yeah. Completely forgot about that. I knew they had more, but wasn't 100% sure if they did or not. Lol.

Posted by: Camilla Melissa 17th December 2015, 12:29 AM

they are filming the new music video

Nice. Platinum coming next week.

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 18th December 2015, 08:30 PM

Hoping for it to manage 70k this week. But I'll be happy with anything around 60k! C'mon girlssss 😍

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 18th December 2015, 08:50 PM

Great to see its sales hold up so strongly - Platinum in less than two months!

I would expect another sales increase again this week. I think 80k+ is possible.

Posted by: pippa 18th December 2015, 09:11 PM

80,000 for this coming week would be wonderful and set them well on the way to possibly selling half a million UK copies of this album.

Posted by: Juliano 19th December 2015, 02:27 AM

I would actually like Love Me Or Leave Me as a single after Lightning.

Posted by: fckaduckinatruck 19th December 2015, 03:53 AM

Do we think if they can maintain top 6 next week?

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 19th December 2015, 04:38 AM

I am hoping they can sneak back into the top 5, now they've had some promo. Top 6 should be certain though. And I'm thinking double platinum is looking very likely too.

Posted by: SeanGrey 19th December 2015, 06:46 PM

Finally had the time today to sit and listen to the whole standard edition! Still love Black Magic, Love Me Like You () and Secret Love Song.

- Hair was really fun and LOVE the lyrics!
- Grown was good but I feel this does sound a bit too Jessica Glynne like for my liking
- I Love You and OMG were both decent album tracks
- Lightning was a bit boring
- A.D.I.D.A.S. definitely very tongue in cheek but very funny "you're gonna get it tonight!"
- Love Me Or Leave Me definitely is a stand out for me but I am a sucker for a girl band ballad
- The End I was expecting to be a little bit slower after the live snippets from the album listening party but still a lovely listen

Posted by: shindymindy 22nd December 2015, 12:43 PM

Any news on how the album is doing this week?

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 22nd December 2015, 12:53 PM

6 in mids yesterday and will be Plat by now

Posted by: shindymindy 22nd December 2015, 01:03 PM

Great - thanks

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 22nd December 2015, 05:14 PM

Ahhhh! I'm so proud of the girls. 'Secret Love Song' climbing on iTunes right now (into the top 40) puts it in a good position for when the Christmas tracks/charity songs fall and hopefully keep the album selling well into the new year! I think it's quite a feat that they're managing to keep up with 1D this time.

Any idea if they're still on Alan Carr today or is it something else they didn't turn up for?

Posted by: Serg Mix 25th December 2015, 03:12 PM

There is a pic. Do they will perform for sure.

Posted by: UltraChristmas 25th December 2015, 06:46 PM

Got the album today and listening on my new headphones, sounding so good today Weird People + A.D.I.D.A.S especially are sounding perfect tonight

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 25th December 2015, 07:04 PM

Another week at 6

It's been a few positions higher than 1D for a while now. I think they were both still gold last week, and obvs now GW has gone plat, not sure about MITAM (I would think so) has GW officially sold more at this point?

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 25th December 2015, 07:17 PM

Get weird has sold around 50k more than MITAM. I don't think there was ever a point where GW had sold less, maybe briefly in their week 3.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 25th December 2015, 07:20 PM

Queens reigning supreme

Posted by: Camilla Melissa 25th December 2015, 10:26 PM

do you all think they sold more than 60k this week?

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 25th December 2015, 10:38 PM

Yeah. Elvis did 170k+ at number 2. I'm thinking maybe about 80k?

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 25th December 2015, 11:12 PM

It'll be be their highest selling album by next week!

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 26th December 2015, 01:53 PM

The standard is only £5.99 at HMV today! *.* (I think the deluxe is cheaper than £12.99 too!)

Posted by: FezVez 26th December 2015, 02:40 PM

I bought it in Asda for £6 today. Always handy to have a copy for the car.

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 26th December 2015, 03:01 PM

70,525 sold this week. Their highest weekly sales ever I think?

Hopefully they can keep selling 30k+ for the next month or so. Double platinum is looking likely which is crazy to think.

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 26th December 2015, 10:30 PM

I'm thinking a climb up to about #4 for this, this week! I don't know why. I'm just hopeful that gift cards/iTunes gift vouchers will benefit this album quite a bit more than other albums and I can see it being a big January seller too!

Posted by: shindymindy 26th December 2015, 10:55 PM

I think number 4 could be possible too.
They climbed a lot on iTunes and physicals are still selling well too.

Posted by: Joe ho ho! 26th December 2015, 11:11 PM

It's a shame they're #11 for the end of year. Still obviously amazing since it's only going to have been 2 months though. And yes, I'd love for them to climb back into the top 5 this week, they're doing better digitally than they have been in ages, it could be the key to them outselling Jess Glynne this week.

Posted by: shindymindy 29th December 2015, 11:59 AM

Up to number 4 on Amazon - they have been 5 for about a month.
What with this and them rising on iTunes, I hope they can rise on the official charts.

Posted by: joeefoster 29th December 2015, 03:52 PM

Slightly pressed that this lost the number one spot to an Elvis album but nevertheless it's held up incredibly well in the Top 6 considering it's digital sales were kinda poor. Just proving that physical sales for albums at least aren't over. Has this already became their best-selling album in the UK?

Posted by: Joe. 29th December 2015, 07:08 PM

There's enough interest in them that when Adele's sales die down in Q1/Q2 they could climb to #1 in a quiet week if it's a big promo week for whatever single is being pushed at the time. The Elvis thing is annoying but at least it isn't a non-number 1. I'd be more annoyed if it was something like 5SOS or 1D that held them off as they've sold more than them in the long run.

Posted by: Camilla Melissa 29th December 2015, 11:49 PM

482k ww!!! in less than 2 months!! what a great year for them

Posted by: Serg Mix 30th December 2015, 04:59 PM

I order one copy from Amazon and they climb one spot heheh

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 1st January 2016, 05:10 PM

Number 6 again

Posted by: Joe. 1st January 2016, 06:09 PM

just SIX sales from top 5!

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 1st January 2016, 06:28 PM

Considering 1D have a new single out helping them promote the album rn, that's insane

Posted by: Joe. 1st January 2016, 06:30 PM

It's especially impressive that they have beaten Coldplay this week.

Posted by: Serg Mix 1st January 2016, 06:39 PM

Guys anyone has info on Australian and Irish sales?

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 1st January 2016, 07:03 PM

Very! I thought Jess Glynne would be the one to make way, I was surprised they outsold Coldplay. Testament to an amazing campaign tbh

Posted by: Liаm 2nd January 2016, 06:44 AM

How this album is doing is incredible but amazing, and definitely deserved <3

Posted by: shindymindy 4th January 2016, 11:27 AM

£2.99 on Google Play and it's also the first album shown on the sale section (main home page)

Posted by: Joe. 4th January 2016, 05:53 PM

They've overtaken 1 Direction again this week, but James Bay has come out of nowhere and they're STILL at #6. Ha.

Posted by: shindymindy 4th January 2016, 06:33 PM

Annoying number 6.
May still get ahead of him during the week though.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 4th January 2016, 06:43 PM

loool totally up for GW to become a permanent fixture at number 6, until SLS comes out

Posted by: Serg Mix 5th January 2016, 12:12 AM

They could outsell James I hope.

Posted by: mr_pmt 5th January 2016, 09:55 PM

I've given the album a listen, it's mostly good... stellar production throughout but I couldn't get to the end of 'OMG' and 'I Love You'.

I'd say 'Weird People' for single 4! (seems funny saying that, we're not even at single 3 yet).

Posted by: HausofTroye 5th January 2016, 10:01 PM

Are you being serious? That's my favourite album track (just ahead of 'Lightning'). And 2:30 of it and onwards is my favourite moment of the ENTIRE album.

Posted by: mr_pmt 5th January 2016, 10:04 PM

Maybe I'll try again with it...

Posted by: Liаm 5th January 2016, 10:05 PM

Lightning is so overrated, one of my least favourite actually. Drags a bit and is trying too hard to emulate the choral bit of DNA.

Posted by: Serg Mix 5th January 2016, 10:15 PM

Weird People is the only song I skip hopefully it's not single.

Posted by: HausofTroye 5th January 2016, 10:18 PM

'I Love You' properly connected with me on my 3rd listen or so, so there is hope Rob said that the Jesy falsetto bit at 2:30 reminded him of 'Losing You' by Solange with the production too and I totally hear that, and it probably explains why I love it so much!

Posted by: Joe. 5th January 2016, 10:22 PM

I always skip The Beginning, Clued Up and The End. And I have to be in the mood for Love Me or Leave Me and I Love You.

Posted by: Serg Mix 5th January 2016, 10:32 PM

I can never skip The Beginning it's so niiiice and lyrics everytime remind me of X Factor and it's overly short

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 5th January 2016, 10:33 PM

Grown for me. I like it, but when it comes on, I'm wishing it to be over so I Love You can start

Posted by: UltraChristmas 5th January 2016, 10:53 PM

Those are the exact 5 I always skip and I always listen to the other 11!

Also want Weird People for 4th single, still go back to it so regularly and it is such a fun pop track

Posted by: Joe. 5th January 2016, 11:12 PM

I'd love to see Diversity and Little Mix reunited on BGT for a Weird People performance if it were single 4. <3

Posted by: Jonjowman ⛄ 5th January 2016, 11:23 PM

You're all crazy! 'I Love You' is gorgeous and 'Lightning' is phenom... don't even get me started on the disdain towards 'Love Me Or Leave Me'...

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 5th January 2016, 11:31 PM

best on the album tbh

Posted by: SeanGrey 5th January 2016, 11:49 PM

The beginning of Weird People is so off putting for me Grown though

Posted by: Liаm 6th January 2016, 12:06 AM

Grown is still a bit irritating, not as bad as I first thought but still probably my least favourite. Love Me Or Leave Me slays, Leigh-Anne's vocals

The first 3 are the ones I'm not keen on either. The Beginning and The End are tolerable I suppose, but they lack a melody and are a bit lifeless; Clued Up, on the other hand, is just irredeemable - it sounds like the theme song to a TV show aimed at preteen girls! Not hugely enamored with Hair either, the lyrics make me cringe a little.

(Oh and I actually prefer SLS with the Jason feature. I realise that may be hugely unpopular. )

Posted by: Joe. 6th January 2016, 08:54 AM

Me too! I do find the layering of Jason and their vocals a bit jarring at some points but I think overall there is more power behind that version.

The girls are #6 again

Posted by: Joe. 8th January 2016, 05:22 PM

David Bowie will enter the top 5 and James Bay will leave it next week = another week at 6.

Posted by: pippa 8th January 2016, 06:30 PM

They appear to have taken ownership and residency at number 6

Posted by: shindymindy 8th January 2016, 06:45 PM

Still brilliant - they haven't left the top 6 since release.

Posted by: pippa 8th January 2016, 07:12 PM

This week should result in seeing the sales of Get Weird pass 400,000 if i am correct.

Posted by: SeanGrey 8th January 2016, 08:31 PM

As long as they stay top ten until SLS is out I don't think they'll be entirely fussed!

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 9th January 2016, 01:12 AM

with the early impact that secret love song has had, I think they can push Jess Glynne for a top 5 spot next week

Posted by: UltraChristmas 9th January 2016, 01:12 AM

James Bay performed on Graham Norton so he may stay ahead

Posted by: Joe. 9th January 2016, 01:19 AM

Ohhh ok, probably 7 then this week. I'm sure they'll be in the top 5 again when radio 1 and 2 start playing SLS, and top 3 when the performances start up.

Posted by: joeefoster 10th January 2016, 11:10 AM

SLS could push this to reach double plat by BRITs week. BRITs week will be tough competition but i'm confident if they win big (i.e British Single & British Group) the album could rocket back into top 3, but Adele's got that week on lock.

Posted by: UltraChristmas 10th January 2016, 12:50 PM

Love Me Or Leave Me has completely hit me yesterday, incredible and beautiful track and the girls vocals are so good on it

Posted by: Serg Mix 10th January 2016, 12:53 PM

True.
But it lacks the harmonies Good Enough has.
If it had that it wouldve been flawless.

Posted by: shindymindy 13th January 2016, 05:18 PM

Any update on this from the mids?
With 2 Bowie albums above it, is it looking like it will fall out of the top 10 this week?

Posted by: Joe. 13th January 2016, 05:22 PM

It should stay top 10, it's 8 currently.

Posted by: shindymindy 13th January 2016, 05:26 PM

Cool - great longevity from the girls

Posted by: shindymindy 18th January 2016, 04:13 PM

Are they out of the top 10 for the first time this week?
Wishfully thinking that they are not!

Posted by: Jonjo 18th January 2016, 04:29 PM

Yeah. Down to #15 atm. I can see them climbing once SLS is added to more playlists.

Posted by: liamk97 18th January 2016, 04:43 PM

Just seen this on the OCC site: http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/little-mix-achieve-a-personal-best-with-their-latest-album-get-weird__13580/

Posted by: Joe. 18th January 2016, 04:45 PM

I was going to post this. Makes me so proud of their success (and great to have totals for their previous two albums). It also makes me all the more angry at the Brits snub.

Posted by: jadefan 18th January 2016, 05:21 PM

Do the figures for DNA and Salute include streams does anyone know? But wow that is so impressive. Well done girls!

Posted by: Defaze 18th January 2016, 05:46 PM

Someone asked that in the comments of the article actually:



So nope, the 'DNA' and 'Salute' figures don't include streaming. It barely contributes to the album chart here anyway (unlike America), so I imagine 'Get Weird' will still be considerably higher than its predecessors on pure sales.

PS. Welcome to the forum!

Posted by: jadefan 18th January 2016, 06:27 PM

Thanks so much for the explanation Defaze At the rate its selling now it should go 2x platinum quite soon I think! I hope we get a re-release!

Posted by: LushLifeLee 18th January 2016, 06:28 PM

jadefan do u like The Saturdays :eyes:

Posted by: Jonjo 18th January 2016, 06:30 PM

Get your own fans, skank.

Posted by: LushLifeLee 18th January 2016, 06:32 PM

i'm actually a little mix stan right now, minus noticing they can't pronounce 'CAN'T' in Secret Love Song. x

Posted by: jadefan 18th January 2016, 06:35 PM

To think The Saturdays were giving advice to Little Mix on X Factor

Posted by: LushLifeLee 18th January 2016, 06:40 PM

well duh

Posted by: liamk97 18th January 2016, 06:46 PM

They do include streams, just from March 2015 onwards.

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 18th January 2016, 06:52 PM

Welcome to the forum Jadefan

So good to see this already being their biggest album, absolutely incredible pop anthem

Posted by: Serg Mix 18th January 2016, 07:15 PM

Yeah thats the first time I heard off Saturdays

Posted by: Defaze 18th January 2016, 07:23 PM

Ah I see, thanks! Even so, I imagine the contribution will be minimal since they would've been 1.5/2.5 years old by that point.

Posted by: jadefan 18th January 2016, 08:57 PM

Thank you Completely agree it's been an amazing era so far. I can't wait for the album to go 2x platinum! I think the last girl group album to do so was Out of Control by Girls Aloud?

Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 19th January 2016, 04:25 PM

Listening to this again now for the umpteenth time and I'm really starting to think this may be edging very close to my top 2 of the last 3 years (1989 + Ultraviolence are infront)! Every single song is an incredible and this album just have so many amazing ballads and uptempos
The girls have absolutely killed it this era!

@acciolittlemx1 no, album platimum though


So album is Platinum in Ireland.

Posted by: Jonjo 19th January 2016, 06:48 PM

So how many sales would that be? Great news though *.*

Posted by: shindymindy 19th January 2016, 07:19 PM

15,000 copies for platinum in Ireland.

It's climbing on iTunes again now - number 26

Posted by: Joe. 19th January 2016, 08:45 PM

I know they have a much smaller population than us, but 15k for Platinum shocks me!

Posted by: shindymindy 20th January 2016, 12:32 PM

Album rising nicely on iTunes again - 23 from 32 yesterday

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 20th January 2016, 01:16 PM

I'm not surprised with the early impact of SLS! hopefully will keep it comfortable top 20 this week, and maybe top 10 again next

Posted by: Serg Mix 2nd February 2016, 12:36 PM

Jade liked a picture on instagram that said "If Lightning was a single (and a bunch of platinum certifications on pic)"

Posted by: Juliano 2nd February 2016, 08:41 PM

Jade has always had great taste in singles, she wanted Nothing Feels Like You as a single... as did I!

Posted by: tomwright123 2nd February 2016, 09:04 PM

The fact Nothing Feels Like You wasn't a single was the biggest travesty of their career

Posted by: Mackenzie 2nd February 2016, 10:47 PM

These Four Walls says hello ...only missed single opportunity imo

Posted by: Juliano 2nd February 2016, 11:50 PM

Aswell! and with the gap between Salute and Get Weird, they could have done Nothing Feels Like You and then These Four Walls.

Posted by: Serg Mix 3rd February 2016, 02:25 AM

Competition is better than both

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 3rd February 2016, 02:51 AM

Mr Loverboy ftw

Posted by: Juliano 5th February 2016, 01:02 AM

Much wasted single potential on Salute, just anything but silence for me would have been great, but then who knows what effect it would of had on the Get Weird era.

Funnily enough Mr Loverboy was one of my first choices when I first heard the album, I feel it would have been a How Ya Doin'? sized hit. Competition didn't hit me at first but the last few listens it really does scream sass and has a catchy chorus. But for me NFLY and TTW are stonger.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 6th February 2016, 06:28 PM

Salute was full of potench singles, i have to agree. I was certain Mr Loverboy would be a single when i first heard, for same reasons as you. I also really think Stand Down could have been a nice one to follow salute, or even Towers/These 4 Walls to slay a ballad.

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 12th February 2016, 05:47 PM

Just noticed the album charted higher than Elvis this week, which is the first time since GW was released I think, so yey! Small victories and such

Posted by: Andr00w 13th February 2016, 09:16 PM

This now their best album for me I still love Salute and DNA though!

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 13th February 2016, 09:25 PM

It's on par with Salute for me. DNA is awesome as well, but Get Weird is like a more progressed and better sounding DNA, and Salute is just a perfect album on it's own, for days when i want to hear a more dark side of LM

Posted by: Robot 13th February 2016, 11:31 PM

Yeah, I still JUST prefer Salute - the upbeats still sound SO good to me and it feels a bit more cohesive than Get Weird but they're both fantastic pop albums.

Posted by: Joe. 13th February 2016, 11:35 PM

When it comes to general cohesiveness, lack of duds and the overall package...

Salute > Get Weird > DNA

Though I feel like there are higher highs on Get Weird than Salute.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 18th February 2016, 01:39 PM

Exactly! It's like 80% of Salute is a 8/10 and then Move is a 10/10.
But on Get Weird almost all the bops are a 9 out of 10 but there are some lows on the ballads.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 18th February 2016, 09:43 PM

Worldwide sales: 604,000 (no streams)

Posted by: Joe. 23rd February 2016, 11:31 AM

The album is looking very safe for the top 10 at the moment. It is outselling every single album behind it and is also outselling Charlie who's ahead of them, so they should be at least 8 this week, we'll see what effect The Brits has. And then I'd say they could go top 5 the week after with the residual Brits effect/ Ant and Dec.

Posted by: shindymindy 23rd February 2016, 11:39 AM

Top 5 would be great!

Posted by: Joe. 23rd February 2016, 11:42 AM

500k is looking certain for this album, but I really think they might possibly push it to doubly platinum, even without a re-release.


Chart run so far:

2-5-6-4-6-6-6-6-6-8-14-15-18-15-8....

Including this week, I think they'll be enjoying at least 4 more weeks top 10.

Posted by: pippa 23rd February 2016, 03:07 PM

Going by the momentum achieved i would be bitterly disappointed if Get Weird does not easily manage double platinum without a re-release. I solid re-release with a strong new single should push it towards triple platinum if handled and marketed correctly.

Posted by: Joe. 23rd February 2016, 03:11 PM

Part of me wants them to re-release because indeed it probably would go 3x platinum. But I also wouldn't mind the next album (I know they're recording already), because it'd mean they'd be eligible for Brit Awards again and might actually win this time. The only way they'll be nominated next year with a re-release is if SLS or something else sells enough to be nominated to Best Single.

Posted by: mr_pmt 23rd February 2016, 03:32 PM

Red Planet

Posted by: Jimmy Jam 23rd February 2016, 05:20 PM

I'd personally prefer a new album. Just because, although a re-release may send this triple platinum, I just don't see how they'd make it better with more songs, when it's pretty faultless as is. Plus I don't want to have to put my bank account under stress for buying an album i already have with 5 extra songs

Posted by: shindymindy 26th February 2016, 06:31 PM

Number 8 again this week. No sales yet but hopefully more than last week.
