Not sure if this has been posted anywhere but Black Magic won Popjustice's £20 Music Prize this year, their second in row after Move last year (credible, acclaimed queens!) :cheer: 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)

 

Hello! Welcome to the forum. :D

 

Yeah I think I shared that news the other day, but it might have been a different topic. Hope you stick around and share some of the fun with us here! :D

 

Completely deserved too <3

Into the top 10 of biggest selling singles by girl groups in the uk

Absolutely amazing! outsold all girls aloud singles.

Absolutely amazing! outsold all girls aloud singles.

that's actually incredible, really well done to them :cheer:

Tbf Girls Aloud were releasing when single sales were an all-time low... but obviously this is great for Little Mix.

Black Magic is now the 4th single by a girlgroup with most weeks in the top 100.

1. Pussycat Dolls - Don't Cha (52 weeks)

2. Sugababes - Abot You Now (40 weeks)

3. The Saturdays - Up (36 weeks)

4. Little Mix - Black Magic (32 weeks)

Slay! :cheer:

 

As much as I love my sats, I see them being pushed down into 4th. I think BM, with the Brits performance will at least get 38 weeks top 100, could even get more than 40, depending if it gets a really big sales boost and goes back into the top 40, which it might

I had no clue Up had anywhere near that many top 100 weeks :o :o :heart:

I'm surprised it's third in most weeks in top 100! Slay! I imagine Ego would be pretty high on the list as well, it had 28. Wings, and Higher also had 25, probably quite high as well

The full list for those who are curious!

Thanks for posting that list :D

 

Great to see 'Black Magic' so high. The perfect pop song :wub:

If (as seems likely) Black Magic charts in the Top 100 on Friday it will have the second longest chart run of a girl group single EVER

Is it looking like it will chart in the top 100 this week?

Comfortably. 77 yesterday.

Sweet

I hope it can get to 41 weeks inside the Top 100 by next Friday :D

40 weeks done! Can it do 41?
