As much as I'm excited about this era, I don't want them to release the album a month or two after the lead single (they said album might come out this year). That's giving me Salute era teas and I'm not here for that kind of messy era again. No ma'am.

They've just been announced for he R1 Teen Awards on the 23rd of October. So that pretty much confirms off the batt huge support from r1. I wouldn't be surprised if it's the first of their singles to go straight to B or A list for them.

Amazing news. I think this era has really made people pay attention to them and realise how big they are.

It's definitely put them at the forefront of everyone's minds. Definitely made people take more notice of them! I just hope they don't drop the ball! He need higher tier pop. I think it'll be too soon for them to delve straight into RnB tinted pop again, although some as Urban and poppy as 'Work From Home' would be stellar for them!

Craig David collab pretty much confirmed? Haha!

Great to hear about the Teen Awards, encouraging to know they're getting Radio 1 support right at the start of the LM4 era

We appear to have the title of LM4's lead single. Some guy called Jesus Palacios (great name) posted a pic on Instagram with the caption 'on the set of the new @LittleMix video #ShoutoutToMyEx

And the photos from before in the desert look like the real deal.

Excited much!

Apparently he's now deleted the pic. Looks like someone got in trouble!

The dessert setting and the title immediately made me think of this classic:

 

 

Serve me a Mya sized bop Little Mix :dance:

Shoutout To My Ex is an incredible song title, I'm so excited!

Ahhhh! IT'S HAPPENING!!! :wub:

 

Serve me some of that Mya too, please!

I have a feeling if we get the single in October, the album pre-order will be for the first week of December/last week of November, given the album release announcements have recently been a lot closer to the actual release date.

 

I think they will get a Brit nomination for best UK group this year without a doubt, with 1D out of the way for the token pop act (if the album comes out in time). SLS could just about qualify for best single, failing that SOTME might make it?

Surely they must be in with a chance of a Brits nom for Best Group next year? Then again they didn't get one when they had the second biggest selling album by a British Group and I lost faith in the Brits years ago. As for British Single, I have a horrible feeling SLS will narrowly miss out, although if SOTME makes a big initial impact it could be in with a chance

Yeah, they'll be up for best group for sure (unless they don't release their album in time otherwise they'll be ineligible).

When does the eligibility period end?

They'd need to have an album out by the end of the year I think to be able to be nominated for best group/album. They can still be nominated for best single though because that catagory works differently.

Do we think Little Mix can better their opening tally of 60k for the new album?

In Nov / Dec yes.

 

They are much bigger than they were last year. I suppose it also depends on how big the lead single is.

Agree, it will depend on the lead. But I think they'll manage it!
