I think it's such a feat for them to be getting a hit as big as this so far into the era! I'm really excited for the new era and whether they'll be getting a lot of One Direction's investment. Because with a HUGE push, the potential for these girls is insane! And it's so weird saying this so far into their career, but I still think we've only slightly touched the surface, on what could make Little Mix even greater.

It truly is exciting times for all the fans. They should definitely get a bigger push next era without 1D around, as Simon only really has 5H, and LM now, so I expect the label to go all in with LM in era number 4, and I expect a really big push stateside as well! It just makes no sense not too, they've put themselves on the verge of greatness with this era, and pretty much done it on their own, it would be foolish not to take advantage and not give them a huge push to take them to the top of the ladder :cheer:

I think it's the 2nd day at #25. But yeah, it sucks though. They really need to do some promo, even if it's random solo radio interviews.

Joe, has Radio 1 been playing it like they should or have they been ignoring it like SLS?

 

They've been playing it once a day as C list does usually.

 

If they can hold on to #12 that would be amazing, I would be super pleased with that as a peak (though I'm thirsty for top 10 now) It's stayed strong at 8 - 10 on iTunes, I don't think it's fall too much by Friday as they have some decent streaming going for them. Hopefully they don't stall on the C list and go straight to the B list on Friday.

Also, has the top 40 had Little Mix in it every week since 'Black Magic'!? :cheer:

I want them to do something, this is showing potential - it hasn't left the top 10 on iTunes since it entered, has it?

Even the slighest actions could lead to a increase on iTunes

 

Great to see Hair at 12 in the midweeks, not far away from their 9th Top 10. Particularly encouraging to see it make another big climb when they haven't done any promo. Speaking of which, Australian DJ Smallzy has tweeted that he will be interviewing the girls while they are on tour over there

I wish they would perform Secret Love Song while they're there, it's become a hit over there and it should go platinum soon.

It would be nice for them to perform Hair, but it wouldn't be a tv show where they could pull of something big, so SLS would suit better.

I do believe it has

Looking at he mids, they're looking to fall to around #15 this Friday. Still pleased with that though!

12 is impressive! this would even be a great peak but I want to see this go top 10. Surely Simon could sort them to perform on BGT?

Up to 23 on Spotify!

Yes at streams :D

I'd guess at the BGT semi-finals being 23-27 May with the final being on 28 May. The show in Singapore is on the Monday so that rules out the Monday and Tuesday (to allow for travelling back). I would expect them on be on either one of the later semi-finals or the final. Surely Simon would want the highest profile act he currently has on his label to be performing on one of his shows

A bit disapointed that they're still only getting 166,831 daily streams when they were on the front page and are on several playlists :cry:

I'm relatively happy with the steady rise on streams, the impact should come with a BGT performance, so we don't want it to peak too soon

23 is really good on streams! We're still probably 2 or 3 weeks from impact, it's not even on the B list on Radio 1 yet.

I agree. How can people be disappointed when SLS or LMLY were nowhere near that high by this point? (or in the latter's case, never even got there). #23 is great, I actually thought it'd really struggle on streaming when it was first announced as a single.

Hair will become at the minimum a sizeable top 20 hit with respectable sales. For a group to achieve 4 top 20 hits from a very respectable selling album is a wonderful achievement in this day and age with how the industry has changed.

 

With Hair doing so well, does anyone think they may push a 5th single?

Edited May 4, 20169 yr by pippa

I remember SLS doing good on streams. The video took a lot of time to come out, it didn't have all the spotify promo and it was doing better than Hair. But I'm gonna listen to yall and chill until impact comes. Whenever they enter top 20 on Spotify I'll feel safer. I want it to peak at least top 15 this week. Fingers crossed.

 

I hope they don't push a 5th single though. Any other track would need rent-a-rapper and they had enough feats on this era. I wish they had a new album out by Q4, but if they don't do and just re-release Get Weird, then get a new single out by August so they can perform it on V Festival.

Yes. Hair has to be the final single from this era.

 

Don't want a re-release, they should simply move on to Album #4.

 

They are definitely getting a few BRITS nominations next year so they should use that platform to promote their lead single with a performance.

A fifth single may not perform as great as the previous singles but it would sell the album. Get Weird needs every push as it has potential to build on its already impressive sales. I would believe the record company will be keen to get as much out of this era as possible and i would believe a re-release is likely to happen.

If it's a re-release, I hope it's at least like 5 new GREAT songs. I don't want 2 singles and 3 fillers.

I still think they should rush and record a fantastic album out by Q4 to get amazing sales again.
