July 23, 20204 yr Really? Maybe it's just my age or generation thing or something, but I really feel like those songs were such momumental, career defining songs that are still remembered after 20+ years, whereas I can't see the same thing happening with SOTME or Touch. I'd think that the average non-pop listener (in the UK at least) definitely still remembers SOTU/Whole Again/Never Ever/Pure Shores etc. but couldn't immediately name a LM song (I use my boyfriend and his friends as a case study here). This is certainly not a dig at LM, as I love them as they are definitely one of the defining girlgroups of the UK, just with a load of big hits but imo not one of two signatures. I'd already find it a bit hard with the Sugababes, as I would say Hole In The Head and Push The Button but then you also have the likes of Round Round/Freak Like Me/About You Now and you could also argue that every single released during the Spice Girls first two era's are their signature songs (even though Wannabe is the biggest). Wannabe and Sound of the Underground are classics but I'd say Whole Again feels kinda forgotten. Black Magic and SOTME feel like much bigger classics than that. Sugababes kinda of oddly never seemed to have one big massive classic.
July 23, 20204 yr 'Whole Again' feels very remembered I think! Who can forget "Southgate you're the one" just a couple of years back? Sugababes probably don't have one defining hit but 'Round Round', 'Push the Button' and 'About You Now' are all signature songs, the latter I still hear loads on nights out. I think it's too early to say for certain what Little Mix songs stand the test of time, but I'd be surprised if 'Black Magic' and 'Shout Out to My Ex' aren't seen as classics a few more years down the line. I'm surprised to see 'Wings' in so many Top 5s, I'd say Little Mix have long since outgrown that song. I'd probably put 'Reggaetón Lento' in there alongside the two aforementioned, 'Touch' and 'Power'. I'd also say that if you were to ask the GP to name five Little Mix songs, 'Break Up Song' would definitely be in there.

I agree with you and it's kind of what I was saying in my post (but you said it better.) I think Girls Aloud, All Saints, Atomic Kitten and Sugababes all have songs that people immediately recognise and remember. I think it's still too early to tell if Little Mix will have a song that has the same impact (I think they will.)
July 23, 20204 yr 1.Shout Out To My Ex 2.Black Magic 3.Touch 4.Power 5.Woman Like Me (I think this one is still quite fresh it the general public heads)
October 16, 20204 yr I’d say it goes Shout Out To My Ex Black Magic Touch Secret Love Song Wings (Same songs as ^^ Said actually!) just a different order for 4 and 5.
