I really loved SLS at the time, I do kind of like it still but I never go back to it and it always feels like a slog to get through. :(

That is a fair placing for Secret Love Song.

Secret Love Song deserved better and probably should have been my 11.

Monster in Me is a better ballad for me!

Salute at 10? This rate is cancelled.

08 8.39 'DNA'

 

Lowest: SGrey (-1)

Highest: UltraReputation, SamJudd, Slick, Josh!, Liam & Jonjo (10) Jade & Euphorique (11)

 

 

Up next at #8 is another absolute BANGER of a pop song. A song that seemed to take influence from Katy Perry's 'E.T.', ehich they covered in their XF live performances and became a classic XF performance for them. The hook is super catchy, Leigh's middle-8 is ridiculously infectious and the production is stellar. The video is simple but effective! I feel like the songs aged really well too and it saddens me to see it out the top 5 here.

I don't dislike DNA but it never fully clicked with me, even back in 2012. Jesy's delivery in the second verse has always irked me.

 

Really strong top 7 overall. I can see this being the finishing order:

7) Reggaeton Lento

6) Black Magic

5) Power

4) No More Sad Songs

3) Love Me Like You

2) Touch

1) Move

'Love Me Like You' is such an underrated track in my opinion and the girls themselves don't truly appreciate it.

 

I have no idea how 'Power' has ended up so high, at first I adored it but it became dated incredibly quickly and It's nowhere near as good as the the last five songs. 'Touch' obviously has this won but I would love if 'No More Sad Songs' finished top three! 'Black Magic' finally smashing the rate because Jerd has stopped her continuous hate.

Black Magic still in I'm shaking.

'Power's quite generally popular!

 

'Reggateton Lento' feels like a real oddity being this high. :blink:

I thought that myself, but it's a massive bop so no complaints here.

07 8.43 'Reggaetón Lento' (with CNCO)

 

Lowest: ready for it (5) PAJ88 & blacksquare (6)

Highest: Lee, Slick, JosephStyles, SGrey & Rossco (10) xan (11)

 

 

At #7 and holding up surprisingly well is the latin-infused, pop banger 'Reggaetón Lento'. This song went on to become another massive hit for the girls and ended up being the lead single to the reissued version of the 'Glory Days' album. It also gave huge Latin superstars CNCO their first (and currently only) UK hit. I'm surprised to see it as high as it is this year. I definitely thought peoples opinions on this had waned a little since the last time we did this. Seeing it above known faves like DNA and Salute is a little surprising to me. A banger though!

I like it, but no way should it be this high.

Very odd to see Reggaetón Lento so high here, it definitely feels forgotten just over a year later but I do still bop when I hear it.

Reggaetón Lento is one of my FAVS.

It's a good'un

06 8.43 'No More Sad Songs' (with Machine Gun Kelly)

 

Lowest: Tawdry Hepburn (5)

Highest: SamJudd, Joe, xan, Jade, Defaze, SGrey, Liam (10) Lee, Jonjo, Rossco, Juliano (11)

 

 

An absolutely gorgeous bop, which showcases beautiful melodies, great vocals with a hint of the tropical-bop trend that was popular at the time. It still stands up for being one of their catchiest choruses. It's one of my favourites of theirs because I love emotional-bangers, and it's the kind of song I imagine dancing to at sunset at a festival or something. I'm glad it's still very popular here, taking the most 11s (so far).

Previous #11 Black Magic is thriving without Jade's usual -1. So glad it managed to make the top 5!

Way too high.

'No More Sad Songs' is by far my favourite Little Mix song, I even love the Machine Gun Kelly rap. It's just perfection in a pop song imo, 'NMSS', 'SLS' and 'BM' >>>>>

 

Y'all are deluded if you think 'Power' is better.
