As for the question, I really don't think it's completely out of the realms of possibility of Little Mix getting another #01! They were close with 'Woman Like Me' last year anyway/

 

As for any other group, I could only see it being One Direction if they reform really.

Little Shis are over.

 

They were just a Cowell band anyway. It will take a while for a new pop group to get going. They're just not fashionable right now, as the previous ones were SO BAD that they tainted the format. Spices, the greatest girl band ever, and TlC and then GA, all came after a similar period where bands weren't cool. Granted, ony girl bands, but whatever. One Direction ruined the boy band brand too. Groups will come back eventually.

 

Anyway, Coldplay sold out, so could have a huge commercial song at no.1 at any moment. There could be a new Arctic Monkeys at any point, etc. We'll see.

:rofl: They're finished.

I don't think Little Mix are quite "finished".

 

I'd say they've definitely got their work cut out to achieve big success again, but it's not completely out of the question if they hit it out of the park. They're definitely in shaky territory though.

Well, forever is a long time so of course there will be! But they will continue to be rare
I'm sure we'll see more #1s by groups in the future. There just aren't any groups in peak success around at the moment like there have been previously (90s-2010s = Spice Girls/Desitiny's Child/Westlife/Blue/Take That/One Direction/Little Mix/Girls Aloud/Sugarbabes/Backstreet Boys/TLC/En Vogue/U2/Pussycat Dolls etc etc).

The wait of over four years is over. Well done to those who said that Little Mix might be the next group to have a number 1 single. Technically, it was Wham! last week but that was with an old Christmas song.
so basically now we've had 3 in a row
But all 3 have been sales-driven rather than streaming

 

A #1 is a #1? :lol:

Just looking at the list of UK no.1 singles,I've noticed that it's three years since a group had a number 1,Little Mix with 'Shout Out To My Ex'. I'm not counting groups like Clean Bandit and Rudimental who hire a different singer for each single they release or choirs put together to do a charity single. I'm only referring to permanent groups with their own lead singer or groups who share the vocals between them. When you can think of the number of groups from the past with multiple number 1s,it's suddenly very difficult for a group to top the chart once. I suppose the chart figures being dominated by streaming is mostly to blame here. So what do you think? Will a group ever have a no.1 single again and who might it be?

LF SYSTEM set to join this week! :cheeseblock:

 

They don't meet the OP's criteria for a group though.
