So we're coming to that time of the year where we are about to get some news on the first single from the next album.

What would you guys like to hear from them? Something like 'Move' again? A pretty risky single choice but ultimately pays off, or something a little more predictable/safe, but still strong like 'Wings'? Or would you like to hear them continue with the "military" style of 'Salute'?

Discuss all news/rumours about the LEAD single in here. Everything else to do with album 3 can stay in http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=164775 topic. Thank you!

I think I preferred Wings. Move is a good track but the styling of themselves for DNA as a whole era was something I preferred.

Posted by: Mike Sugafan 26th September 2014, 05:19 PM

I'd like to hear some big mid-tempo song like Change Your Life or the one with darker melodies like DNA / You Got The Love

Posted by: Electro Paradise 27th September 2014, 12:43 PM

Move is my favourite single from them, so I'd prefer that over any other single they've had, but I hope the new single paves a new path and not copy of an old style but is generally a progression of the Salute era sound rather than a completely different direction.

I want uptempo though that is for sure. I would maybe settle for a mid, but certainly not a ballad. Actually I wouldn't mind if they skipped a ballad completely as a single for this era, they have stunning ones, but single wise they don't get it right.

I'm just super excited for this era, my expectations are way too high though.

Posted by: colinn 30th September 2014, 12:43 AM

No 'Little Me'/'Change Your Life' as singles please. I'm over them now.

Posted by: April 30th September 2014, 10:05 AM

Something like "DNA". That's still my favourite LM single by far!

Posted by: Sean. 4th October 2014, 04:15 PM

Move got it's first airplay six weeks before and if this follows a similar pattern it means we might hear is next week, or the week after. What does everyone think?

Posted by: Electro Paradise 4th October 2014, 04:19 PM

^ Going by their new fan club app, they haven't chosen the single yet and are still writing for the album. I'm starting to worry we won't get the album this year.

Posted by: Rabbit Heart 4th October 2014, 04:23 PM

I don't think the album will be coming this year as something would have been announced by now I feel. They'll probably still be a single though.

Posted by: JONES 5th October 2014, 07:20 PM

I think the album is coming in December... I don't think syco would release it at the lowest selling point in the year

I'm hoping the new single premieres in January through February or even March looks more realistic. They're working with some great people this time around so I'm excited to hear what they bring to the table.

I'd be happy with an album of 'Move' and 'Stand Down'

Posted by: Sean. 20th December 2014, 01:22 PM

Haven't watched that video but isn't it the track they worked on with Jess Glynne?

Posted by: JesyMix 14th March 2015, 07:30 PM

They revealed on the Brits red carpet that they've chosen the lead single. They say it's a "whole new sound" for them. They later revealed that their album is 80s influenced.

Songwriter Camille Purcell (Boy, Nothing Feels Like You, Good Enough + The Saturdays, Ella Henderson) fav'd & RT'd some tweets about LM's lead single so I'm assuming that she co-wrote it.

So much for them doing something unexpected or very different. It seems like they have taken a step back and went back to the sound of DNA. In a way, I understand they want to play it safe since it's a first single, but they seem like the kind of group that can actually take a risk now. They have had two successful eras, it seemed like the appropriate moment. Now I'm afraid the album won't sound cohesive between their "different" material and this pop mess.

Shame.

I was excited about them doing something similar to 'The Craft' ( ), but I think the track feels way too upbeat and cute for that of ambiance in a video. I guess it will still follow a similar pattern in which four awkward high school girls get together, practice magic and I suppose they'll be popular by the end of the video? It's not exactly what I had in mind at first...

Shame, again.

DNA remains their best single, besides Move though?

Posted by: Robot 24th April 2015, 01:40 PM

Damn, missed hearing all the previews before they got taken down but I can't WAIT for this. Been too long

(realistically it hasn't, it just feels like it)

Posted by: Davidson 25th April 2015, 04:13 PM

Obviously the clip is so short and low quality so we can't say we can take much from it but it would seem as though it is poppier and definitely closer to the sound of the first album. For me, the decision to (possibly) go back to the cheesy pop stuff would be one of the strangest career moves ever. They set up themselves up with the 'Salute' era as a potentially great R&B girlband and that album felt like it only scratched the surface of what they were capable of if they continued to develop this more mature and overall far more well-rounded sound. To set yourself up in such good stead to get away from just a purely teenage fanbase, and to do so with mass critical acclaim and also commercial success, with the strength of the new sound making the sophomore slump relatively painless, made it seem like they had the potential to really take their career in a new direction and become a girlband who could really last over time. A return to the pure pop sound of their first era would be entirely foolish and a real artistic misstep. Got to just hope that the snippet is misleading of the sound they are going with this era.

Posted by: Sean. 25th April 2015, 05:59 PM

Perhaps the album is going to be a product of both album one and two, with the lead being more associated with one?

Posted by: Jonjo 20th May 2015, 11:53 AM

Sonically, it's not what I wanted from them. I wanted them to improve on their 'Salute' sound and stick with that. However, as a pop song, it's SO GOOD. Really loving it.

Posted by: Rabbit Froot 20th May 2015, 12:23 PM

Yeh, disapointing really, I was hoping they would continue the 'Salute' sound but I guess Fifth Harmony have taken over their R&B sound in Simon Cowell's eyes. It lacks identity for me, it could be sung by anyone.

Posted by: Regina 20th May 2015, 12:43 PM

Parts of it I love, but others, I feel a bit "eh". Not bad though, more of the chanty bits woulda been nice.

Posted by: Ryan. 20th May 2015, 02:04 PM

I've only heard a part of it, I'll listen in full soon, but it seemed a little bit basic and a regression. Hopefully the full thing will impress me later!

Posted by: *Tim 20th May 2015, 02:19 PM

Very underwhelming after the bops Salute produced...

Posted by: Noahspike 20th May 2015, 02:20 PM

Definitely a strong, catchy pop song but I agree with others that it lacks identity and seems too 'young' for them at this stage, especially after the more interesting and inspired stuff on 'Salute'. I really like the verses but the chorus is way too cheesy.

Posted by: PaO_o 20th May 2015, 02:40 PM

It's completely different to the previous singles by them. But it's definitely a summer song. I really like a jam of this song.

Posted by: mr_aly 20th May 2015, 03:26 PM

It's very poppy for them, I'm getting 'Disco Love' vibes from this!

It's a strong song though, intrigued to see how they do after leaving it quite a while.

*edit - also after one listen parts of the chorus are making me think of the "you don't have the right to tell me" part of 'Mr. Know It All'.

Posted by: Acoustic 20th May 2015, 04:04 PM

Slight step back for me.

The chorus is good and it's catchy, it's very pop though. I enjoyed the last albums 90s R&B influence, I'm hoping the album will have more of the sound from Salute.

Posted by: THEO. 20th May 2015, 04:42 PM

This is so cheesy and absolutely NOT the kind of music that they should be making four years into their career but I can't help but love it 😬 Hopefully the album is made of stronger material but I'll take this for now as they've not released anything for 15(?) months.

Posted by: Totto 20th May 2015, 04:52 PM

The verses are ok, but the chorus too cheesy.

It sounds like a album track I'd rather avoid. Not a fan.

Posted by: Robot 20th May 2015, 04:55 PM

I LOVE THIS. It's so cute! I don't think it's actually a regression as such, it feels very 80s which I wouldn't say the first album sounded like, it's just a different variation of pop. It's kinda going along a Carly Rae Jepsen kinda line and I'm really loving it, undeniably so catchy. I can see the Disco Love comparison actually, but I do prefer it to that.

Posted by: J▼hnkm 20th May 2015, 04:55 PM

OH THANK GOD

I can finally hop back on board the Little Mix train after being resolutely nonplussed by basically the entirety of 'Salute'. HUGE chorus, overwhelming sense of joy and just generally a super catchy, fun pop song.

Posted by: J▲hq 20th May 2015, 05:04 PM

Not as good as 'Move' but I prefer it to the rest of the singles from the previous era. So catchy and only going to be a bigger jam on repeated listens.

Posted by: Defaze 20th May 2015, 05:14 PM

Posted by: Liаm 20th May 2015, 06:45 PM

I think this is a really good progression actually. People see it as a regression but I think that, whilst it's poppy like their debut album it maintains a bit of a funky feel like Move for example. It's a good mix and I hope it's indicative of the whole album <3

Posted by: Davidson 20th May 2015, 07:31 PM

Does this remind anyone else of 'Want You To Want Me' by Jason Derulo?

It is a good pop song but so far from what I want from them. If this had been the lead for the second album I would have been all over it but I feel like their second album showed the massive potential they had in the R&B route and therefore I can't help but find this massively disappointing. I am sure I will really enjoy it in a very much flash in the pan hit way, but can't see it helping them gain a lasting career or any band identity.

Posted by: Jay ジ 20th May 2015, 07:31 PM

I really like this! Love the 80s vibe.

I wouldn't say it's a regression, but maybe a diversion... we'll have to wait and see re: their third album sound and find out if they've stepped away from the r'n'b present on Salute, or not.

Posted by: Robot 20th May 2015, 07:42 PM

They've already said a lot of the album is 80s influenced so I can see plenty in this vein, but I really wouldn't complain. Sure, the route they were going was great and more credible for from my perspective, if they're going to produce stuff like this then I'm perfectly happy for them not to be "credible" but it's just great, fun pop done very well.

It's not that it's a regression for me, it's just that it literally lacks identity. It could be sang from any random flopstar to someone like Rita Ora which is it a bit strange considering this is from a third album and they had been going on a natural progression up to this point.

Posted by: Sean. 20th May 2015, 09:08 PM

I absolutely love this! It's a great catchy pop song, it just feels so effortless. The vocals are fantastic of course. This is going to be MASSIVE!

Posted by: missingyou 20th May 2015, 09:30 PM

I was intrigued by their big come back, especially after Simon tweeted that its the best single yet. I'm not a fan, but can appreciate them after being a massive Spice Girls, GA and Sats fan.

Have to say this is not that strong, its very poppy and happy but its not very... Little Mix? If The Sats released this, it wouldn't be out of place, but I thought LM was edgy? This is like a mix of Disco Love and a Katy Perry song. Not very original. Saying that, maybe this will bode well for them and reach more? Who knows! Its a no from me, but as long as the fans enjoy it, thats all that matters

It's nice.

It's nothing special and their fanbase alone will get it tip 10 but it's such a step down from previous material, low sales should help it get top 5 but it will drop 'faster than the speed of light' crazy how i miss you, i'm hurting deep inside .

Posted by: Iz~ 20th May 2015, 11:05 PM

Lovely little pop song, but it does feel like a step backwards after the last album, and that this will be the beginning of their decline. Perhaps. Pure pop could always use another flagbearer, but I doubt it'll be this for very long. I'm not getting very excited about this while I was after Move hit me.

Posted by: Ryan. 21st May 2015, 02:20 AM

Finally listened to this in full, it is a fantastic pop song. I still stick by my initial opinion that it seems they've got back to a more 'DNA' type sound, but with a bit of a twist but that's no problem when the song is as good as this.

However, it doesn't scream #1 hit to me but top 5 should be certain considering they've already got Capital on board for the radio premiere tomorrow.

Posted by: Jonjo 21st May 2015, 02:42 AM

I think "regression" is the wrong word to use for this. It's definitely more 'DNA'-pop than 'Salute'-pop, but I'd definitely say it's a step forward and more of a progession in the pop sound that they used for the first era. As I've said before, it'd have been nice to have seen them stick to the less predictable sound of the 2nd album, but if this is the standard of pop that they're going to give us (and I'm sure this is just to help them breakthrough even more in the US) then I'm all for it It reminds me of 'Want U Back' by Cher Lloyd!

This chorus is SO good. I've always really liked Little Mix but I wasn't expecting much since all their hype seemed to be gone; I was wrong. I think this is a lot better than this year's pure pop hits (LMLYD, IRLY, WTWM) so I hope it can go top 3 at least.

1. Move
2. DNA

3. Black Magic

4. Wings

5. Salute

This is now at #29 on Pre-Orders. I think it peaked at #25 earlier, but it's not falling anywhere near as much as I was expecting it to at the moment!

Posted by: Robot 22nd May 2015, 01:59 AM

#25 is a pretty respectable peak, I thought it'd stop at about #40 so it outdid my expectations there! Glad to see they still have a pretty big fanbase which should hopefully serve them another pretty successful era. I don't see them ever being huge whatever they release, there just isn't a big demand for them or girlbands at the moment but I can see them being consistently appreciated and popular for some time.

Just got around to listening to this. It's OK. Not my cup of tea but of course it will do well. It sounds like a bunch of other songs mashed together. I hear the Want To Want Me comparison and the instrumental gives me I Wanna Dance With Somebody vibes. Most of all, the chorus sounds just like the pre-chorus on Samantha Jade's Up...

Just heard this for the first time. It's a great little pop song and the video looks like it'll be great, quite Katy Perry-esque. It's not as good as 'Move' and I feel like this should've been the single between the 'DNA' and 'Salute' albums, seems to be bridge those two eras quite well.

Posted by: Joe. 28th May 2015, 12:20 PM

The pre-order for this is doing astonishingly well considering it's not out for ages. The initial fan-buys will have died down now, so it looks like the little airplay it's getting is actually generating proper interest. I don't want to jinx it, but #159 5/6 weeks before release would usually say number 1 to me.

Posted by: Robot 28th May 2015, 02:49 PM

It's doing incredibly well, I'm so shocked! Usually pre-orders with fanbases have quite a 'Pretty Girls' run, go top 40 and then slump back to about #500/600 until closer to the release date. That's what I expected, but instead it's sitting at #132 now with so many weeks to go and it's reminding me more of how 'I Will Never Let You Down' did on pre-orders.

I hadn't really thought they were capable of getting another #1 until now where I'm starting to think MAYBE just maybe it could happen. I won't get my hopes up too much but this is very promising.

the song and video are clunky as f*** and i don't get the american high school appropriation for a british girlgroup it feels try hard and disingenuous and the melody doesn't fit the narrative of the video whatsoever.

Posted by: Robot 29th May 2015, 06:08 PM

I LOVE THAT. So great to see them doing something not even just a bit away from their usual "dancing in a warehouse" style, but a total different but superb direction. It really brings out the fun in their personalities that make them such a likeable band in the first place.

Everything about this is spot on so far. They waited too long for the video of Move and it took ages for momentum to build (it seemingly only actually became popular once it hit the charts) but the timing has been great for this and I think the change in direction works so well for them.

Now #74 on iTunes aswell!

Posted by: Electro Paradise 29th May 2015, 06:18 PM

Their lead singles have been amazing, 'Wings', 'Move' & 'Black Magic' have all been flawless. BM it's so catchy it's unreal, it's really fun without being cheesy, Jade in the video is amazing too! Exciting to see it doing so well on pre-orders as well.

Posted by: LeeWallace 30th May 2015, 04:26 AM

It's such a step down from 'Salute' and it just feels weird to say R&B is their sound and for them to return to pop. I guess it was more Simon's choice rather than the girls as I doubt he would want two girlbands on his label releasing the same genre.

If I was Simon I would release 'Black Magic' on Sunday and book them a BGT performance, it's doing incredibly well on Pre-orders and I'm sure it could still manage #01 if it had a BGT performance behind it.

I really don't think they need to bring the release date forward. I think nowadays, if there's a huge demand for a song and it gets so high on pre-orders well after the initial hype, then I think this is where releasing it to streaming early could benefit it and be more effective! Release it for streaming instead of releasing it a week or two earlier I think!

Posted by: April 10th June 2015, 04:37 PM

Black Magic would get #1 if it were released this Sunday. I hate when labels unnecessarily hold back singles when they look ready to be #1 weeks in advance.

Posted by: Joe. 10th June 2015, 05:46 PM

Seeing as Jason Derulo only sold 75k last week, and Little Mix are only a little bit lower than Carly Rae Jepsen was before going onto sell 85k (Yes, her pre-order had been up longer, but she peaked nowhere near as high as #23), it's very possible they would go to straight to #1 next week, if not, then certainly the week after.

Posted by: JesyMix 11th June 2015, 04:01 AM

I'm so pleased with how this is performing in pre-orders so far. How likely is R1 to playlist this next week?

Posted by: Iz~ 11th June 2015, 12:09 PM

I am on the verge of getting obsessed with this song and video now. Very very lovely stuff on both fronts, it's really very much what they should be doing, and I was initially disappointed after expecting some next-level left-field to follow Salute. That wouldn't be doing so well on pre-orders, and I'm glad it's looking like a massive hit for them, would be a very pleasant #1. Because despite the 'Black Magic' dress-up, it's really very 'white, wholesome magic' in its presentation. And I don't mind that, Little Mix do light pop very well.

Still as high as 66 on iTunes. I can't believe how massive this is going to be for them. With Girlbands fizzeling out all over the world, for the UK especially, Little Mix was all we had. Though they had a perfectly succesfful campaign with Salute, there were signs that they could soon start to fade. But it looks like they've come back stronger than ever. This could possibly spend weeks at #1

Posted by: Jonjo 16th June 2015, 01:40 PM

Don't worry. He's being banned from the forum, for good. Jade shade will NOT be tolerated

The remix EP counts as 1 sale. The only time each sale would be individual is if you was to purchase them all separately, but that would cost you more (99p per track as opposed to £1.99 or whatever for the bundle) so it makes sense tbh.

Hope that helps

And my prediction will be somewhere from 90k - 107k! I think it'll be their highest ever opening week (how much did 'Wings' open with?)

EDIT: 'Wings' opened with 106k. I'm thinking it'll beat that actually, so maybe we're looking at a 111k-116k debut for 'Black Magic'?

I would hope Black Magic is going to be a big moment in their career and achieve a big number 1 for them. Everything indicates towards Black Magic becoming a big hit which i would hope will benefit the sales of their new album.

Amazon Germany are selling a 4 track Cd single of Black Magic which is released on 17th July. I can't believe a physical CD single is not being released in the UK, given the popularity of this song.

Posted by: Robot 11th July 2015, 10:09 AM

They're very different tracks, going back to Move for a second. It's an incredible track but definitely as commercial and immediate for the charts as Black Magic is, so it's not surprising that this is doing better even if I wish Move could've been a #1 myself.

Posted by: LeeWallace 11th July 2015, 02:00 PM

'Black Magic' has held up incredibly well in the United States, it's not dropped out of the top 300 on iTunes and is now #147 with no radio airplay or promotion. I think this will be their biggest US Hit and will at least manage to peak within the top 50.

Posted by: Jonjo 12th July 2015, 12:54 AM

I'm thinking 'Black Magic' could have similar success to 'Want U Back' by Cher Lloyd in the US. Probably bigger eventually!

I wonder if Black Magic will be close to touching 100k on Monday's midweeks. The way the chart is now means that the first midweeks will have much higher sales by combining the pre-orders with the weekend effect/streaming. (Though if Spotify data is missing this won't happen)

Posted by: FinalFantasy7Bes 12th July 2015, 09:10 PM

What a poile of absolute utter dogshet.

I confused it with a cheap-o nasty soundtrack song for a straight-to-dvd Disney channel release.

What the hell is this song about?? Does it mean ANNNYYYTHIN??

Um ... no.

And the video, they steal someone´s average lookin Twilight werewolf wannabe boyfriend? Ummm ok.

The Spice Girls coulda released this back in the 90s and it would still have been the cheesiest thing goin.

This is such a Spice Girls 90s-wannabe pastiche track.

And their cheesy expressions and cheap magic in the video!!

On the other hand, the toggles of the shoes move when they levitate, showin technology is advancin even with the small things.

They literally are the Girls Aloud of our generation - the only other artist to have won the prize twice though they won five times (2003 - No Good Advice, 2005 - Wake Me Up, 2006 - Biology, 2008 - Call The Shots, 2009 - The Promise)

A few more chart weeks would be wonderful to add to their top 100 run. While this would be nice i find it wonderful that a girl group manage to have their biggest hit in the 3rd era of their career. Black Magic is now their biggest selling single which is amazing. By enlarge girl and boyband groups start suffering a decline in sales and smaller hits at this point of their career with many splitting after a 3rd album release. Little Mix thankfully have shown no signs of splitting and their success just continues to improve.

Posted by: Jonjo 19th April 2016, 11:28 AM

Their rise in popularity is so unique for an X Factor winner/act in general. All other acts seem to peak fairly early, but with our girls not only has their material been getting stronger, but their performances have improved tenfold! It helps that they're really likeable and warm/polite human beings and just seem to be revelling in all the success and taking none of it for granted.

Posted by: MrLoverboy 19th April 2016, 11:32 AM

And I don't even think BM is their peak. After it's success, I can see them getting a even bigger song and hopefully it sells even better than BM.

What a song! Seriously! I still love it just and there are no parts I skip

Could've dressed Leighanne a little more classy for a late night show, but other than that a great performance.
The studio audience is always a bit weird in that studio

Posted by: Joe. 15th June 2016, 09:04 PM

Thanks Tim! Did they do Hair too?

Posted by: *Tim 15th June 2016, 09:05 PM

This was the show opener, so I am assuming they'll perform Hairlater. This got uploaded 4minutes ago

I think the show only just started and usually about halfway through the guests perform after they get interviewed. (idk if they get interviewed tho)

They should be performing Hair in full, but idk since I can't watch it in Belgium

I hate this Leigh outfit too. It looks bad and unfinished, especially when you see Jade and Jesy ones.

I actually thought Leigh-Anne had the best outift!

Black Magic's video now has over 200 million views on YouTube!

First girl group MV ever to be 2x Vevo certified without the song having a feature

As well as being Perrie's birthday, Sunday will be a year since Black Magic was released

So there's this rumor going around on Twitter

Doesn't surprise me if it's true tbh. Seems to be the story of Little Mix's US career.

There were a few rumours going around on Twitter last night, which I shared on the Salute thread

Black Magic is no longer the best selling girl group single this decade

Well it is the 'best selling'

Posted by: Joe. 24th August 2016, 01:50 PM

Yeah, Black Magic still sold a lot more copies than Work From Home, Work From Home just got streamed a lot more.

Posted by: Matt1989 24th August 2016, 01:50 PM

Without wanting to sound bitter, how much of that is pure sales?

'Black Magic' has pretty much doubled 'Wings' sales lol. As for 'Black Heart' I'm not sure, but I think that might have sold less.

Edit: I should read posts better before commenting. And comparing 'pure sales' in this day and age is a pretty mute point.

Black Magic sold 600K+ with no streams. Work From Home is just around 450K or something - it's yet to cross Platinum in pure sales lol.

Well I just divided the song's total UK streams by 100 and then subtracted it to the latest figures. I don't know if it's correct but I checked ATRL and I think I did it right

Posted by: Joe. 25th August 2016, 09:07 PM

I don't think Black Magic would have quite made 600k pure sales. More like 500 - 550k. WFH is probably on around 450k pure sales.

Video is about to become their first to hit a billion views

Posted by: M477h3w 27th October 2023, 09:45 AM

It’s reached 1 billion views!
Great feat. The song did really well. I can’t believe it’s 8 years since it was released.

Posted by: Yousee 27th October 2023, 01:11 PM

Finally!
Happy for them.
Wish it was another song with that popularity though. Black Magic is so teen pop, and so Little Mix will always be seen as a teen pop act by the general public, even though they have songs Woman Like Me, Sweet Melody, Move, Confetti, etc.

Posted by: Jessie Where 27th October 2023, 02:00 PM

I'm not really sure I'd consider 'Woman Like Me' a better representation of them than 'Black Magic'.

The song is an iconic classic and still beloved today, but they have many well-known songs so it's not as if they'll be exclusively regarded as a teen pop act just because one song was the first to achieve a billion views on YouTube.
