Getting a sales update this week apparently!

 

Exciting.

I can’t wait for the sales update!

 

I really hope we get everything. I hope Cannonball is closer to platinum (Hate the song) but it will solidify another platinum single.

Hair, Sweet Melody and Heartbreak Anthem will probably be million sellers soon and I guess Cannonball and MAYBE Kiss My Uh Oh/Confetti can crawl to Platinum at some point. Little Mix do amazing with trickle streams.

 

I'd like No to overtake One I've Been Missing. Doesn't deserve to be the lowest selling single. :(

 

Confetti and Between Us should also crawl to Platinum and then they'll have a perfect record of all their albums getting there.

Little Mix's biggest non-single track from each of their albums revealed

 

Since becoming the first group to ever win The X Factor all the way back in 2011 (yes, it really has been that long), Little Mix have carved out a successful lane for themselves as the UK's (if not the world's) biggest girl band of the past decade.

 

Ahead of Perrie, Jade and Leigh-Anne's final shows as a trio this week, we thought it was high time that the spotlight was shone on some of the biggest songs the girls have put their name to that weren't released as singles.

 

Much like Girls Aloud and The Saturdays before them, the group have an army of dedicated fans who have racked up, in some cases, tens of millions of streams for album tracks.

 

As a bit of a disclaimer, the songs mentioned here are album tracks only, meaning they were never officially released to radio as a single, which is why some of your favourites may be missing.

 

DNA - Always Be Together

A deep-cut from their debut album, Always Be Together is the first album track to arrive on the LP following its first three singles; Wings, DNA and the power ballad Change Your Life.

 

Co-written and produced by Rihanna hitmaker Ester Dean (S&M, What's My Name?) is a super-charged mid-tempo number, which has racked up 2.2 million streams by Mixers.

 

Salute - Good Enough

The girls' second studio album is widely considered to be their strongest collection, with its cohesive, futuristic R&B sonics like on its mind-bending lead single Move.

 

Its most successful album track is the sparse piano ballad Good Enough. Produced by Wings hitmakers TMS, the track has been streamed a total of 5.2 million times since its release on the album, which hit Number 4 on the Official Albums Chart in 2013.

 

Get Weird - Love Me or Leave Me

Another slower tempo here, Love Me Or Leave Me is the penultimate track on Little Mix's third album Get Weird, which spawned their comeback banger (and Number 1 single) Black Magic. The track is the best performing non-single from Get Weird, boasting 18.1 million streams to date.

 

Interestingly, it was written by Julia Michaels, best known for her co-writes with Selena Gomez, Britney Spears and Hailee Steinfeld and her own UK Top 10 solo hits Issues and I Miss You with Clean Bandit.

 

Glory Days - Oops

A bit of a contentious one this, given that this doo-wop duet with US pop star Charlie Puth was performed live at the X Factor finals in 2016, but wasn't issued as an official follow-up to the mighty Touch. Despite this, its the girls' most successful album track by far with an impressive 37 million streams.

 

However, in an interview with Buzzfeed earlier this year, however, Perrie basically admitted that Oops was her least-favourite Little Mix track. So just for her, trailing in second place is Is Your Love Enough? with 16.8 million streams, taken from their chart-topping Glory Days re-issue.

 

LM5 - Wasabi

Now that's more like it. A firm fan favourite, the strange, shape-shifting Wasabi is one of several harder-edged tracks included on 2018's LM5. Built around a bizarre spoken word chorus from Jade Thrilwall that demands the listener 'spit me out like hot Wasabi.'

 

Many fans were begging for the bop to be released as a single from LM5, but plans never came to fruition, following the girls' departure from Syco. However Wasabi has thankfully found a second life as a viral sensation. After going viral on TikTok during the first lockdown, the track was even gifted a special behind-the-scenes music video and gain a whopping 21 million streams so far, which we call pop justice.

 

Confetti - Not A Pop Song

A change of pace in the hyper-charged bangers of the Confetti tracklist, Not A Pop Song is a refreshingly meta take on Little Mix's journey through the music industry machine, and how they made out the other side.

 

Name-checking former label boss Simon Cowell ('I don't do what Simon says'), the track now also feels eerily prescient on Jesy Nelson's verse about being 'a hamster on a wheel...' Altogether, Not A Pop Song has claimed over 99,000 chart sales and has over 11 million streams to its name.

 

Between Us - Between Us

The girl's most recent (and, for now, final) release was greatest hits collection Between Us, which also included several new tracks. One track that seems to have been claimed by fans is the title track, an emotional ballad all about the unbreakable bond that Perrie, Jade and Leigh-Anne share.

 

Between Us has over 63,000 chart sales to its name after just under six months of availability, as well as over 6 million streams. These numbers were definitely boosted thanks to the girls' performance of the track on The Graham Norton Show last year.

Not a pop song 99,000 sales :o Basically halfway to silver!

Edited May 11, 20223 yr by Dynasty.

I really wish they'd stop with just streaming totals and give us actual "sales" with stuff like this :cry:

Yeah, sales would be good for all of those.

 

Not a pop song at 99000 sales is unexpected though.

Oops - 431,000

LMOLM - 320,000

Wasabi - 245,000

SLS Pt 2 - 241,000

You gotta not - 186,000

 

Impressive!

 

LMOLM is very impressive! It didn’t reach 200k long ago.

I can't remember the increases for NAPS & BU as I updated them earlier oops baby, I love you x

 

But here's the increases in sales they've had since their last update:

 

+171,787 You Gotta Not > Last updated: I *think* Glory Days (original) album release week so we'll say 25th Nov 2016 <

+120,000 Love Me or Leave Me > Last updated: Certified Silver on 26th Feb 2021 <

+45,000 Wasabi > Last updated: Certified Silver on 28th May 2021 <

+41,000 Secret Love Song (Part ii) > Last updated: Certified Silver in August 2021 <

+26,000 Oops > Last updated: 4th Jan 2021 <

I have ordered and arranged the Top 20 album tracks in the top 20 that they're listed by OCC. Everything must be on about ~65k+ as they gave us 'Between Us' sales (63k) but it isn't top 20! That's amaze!

The front page looked gross with their last totals in a random order (6k above 13k etc...) so I've done some guesstimating at what I think their totals would be on or around based on the sales info we did get for a few of the songs.

 

'You Gotta Not' will probs be Silver by this time next year!

I hope this isn't all we're getting in terms of sales from

them this week.

They promised to update the certified ones here: https://twitter.com/officialcharts/status/1...zEdYRqSs4GhVhiQ

Love Me or Leave Me selling 120k in like 3 months is huge? I wonder which will be their first platinum non-single; that or Oops?

 

edit: never mind :*

Edited May 13, 20223 yr by jsweetxe

How can a song sell that much in 3 months and not chart? 120K in sales in 3 months would at least mean a couple weeks in the top 200?

 

Edit - Oops the last update was 2021 not 2022. My bad. :lol:
