Highlights and low lights from their Glory Days charting history??

Highlight: Power Making the top 10, Touch becoming their first huge post-album single, Glory Days being their first #1 album.

Lowlights: No More Sad Songs not peaking higher, Touch spending six weeks at #4 but never managing to go top 3, despite out-selling most of the songs that outpeaked it.

Highlights: Touch and NMSS, Oops performance on X-Factor and them finally having another killer video with Power. Possibly how drunk they were at the BRITS? laugh.gif

Lowlights: Oops not being pushed as a single, bit of a crap video for SOTME/Touch.

Highlight for me is not only the album going number one, it managing it for multiple weeks and even managing to reclaim the top spot after being pushed down.

Lowlight would be NMSS's peak position.

Highlights: 'Glory Days' beating both Bruno Mars AND Metallica in the chart battle! Managing #1 on multiple weeks. SOTME X Factor premier and Brit Awards performance/win! 'Touch' becoming their biggest post-album single ever. 'No More Sad Songs' being a radio hit despite a low peak. 'Power' going top 10 and looking at spending a 5th week in there.

Lowlights: Lack of promo for the 3rd and 4th singles! sad.gif NO LIVE LOUNGE PERFORMANCE </3 </3 NMSS peaking at #15 when it's their best single from this era </3

---

This era really solidified them as the UK's biggest girl group in a while. It no longer feels like it's "by default". Despite thin competition in the girl bands stake, they've managed to go further than The Saturdays ever did with similar competition. They're actually billed as one of the UK's biggest acts and are draws for TV shows/concerts etc..

For the era overall:

Highlights: Glory Days becoming their first #1 album and stayed on top for 5 freaking weeks, finally winning a BRIT award and 2 Top 10 post-album singles. Oh and the fact that their tour is already the biggest of 2017 when it hasn't started.

Lowlights: ...I have a lot but their team not giving Touch the push that it deserved (it should've been THAT hit worldwide ugh), messy schedule post-album release and that 3-month stay in America are some of them.

I think the only disappointment is that they haven't really been able to break them properly worldwide yet. Shout Out only managed to be a minor hit in most markets (if at that) and the rest of the singles have flopped.

+ GD reaching #1/the succes of it's singles in the UK.
+ The album making it 30+ weeks in the UK, Ireland, Australia, Holland, Belgium (Flanders) and NZ album charts.
+ SOTME being a hit in some places outside the UK/Australia/NZ.



- Not reaching their full potential on a global scale. Touring with Ariana only got the album back for 1 week in the US album charts. And Touch could've been a proper hit in Europe with some promotion.
- No more sad songs/Power missing the Australian charts (one of the few countries were most of their singles got at least top 50).
