August 18, 20205 yr not sure what it means to do well "metrically" but Holiday is #28 on Apple Music, #28 on Spotify, #20 on Amazon and #14 on iTunes, it's that's not doing well, you need a reality check Well metrically it isn’t doing well compared to what they have released before. Please don’t tell me I need a reality check- it’s rude.
August 18, 20205 yr Maybe I'm being a bit naive but it seems to me quite obvious why Little Mix (and Katy Perry) are flopping... The music isn't good enough and there isn't enough good publicity. Katy needs Dr R@pe to have a hit big enough to provide a successful era and Little Mix needs Syco and The X Factor for promo, not rip-offs of other tracks, a trend they started in 2018 with the Rita Ora-derivative "Only You".

August 18, 20205 yr you realise Little Mix are at #14? Katy Perry is not even top 100 so that's a flop, but a song at #14, come on? on which planet that's a flop?
August 18, 20205 yr It's a relative flop... I'm with Cognizant on this one, #14 is OK but this middling charting only started when they began releasing sub-par, reductive tracks Edited August 18, 20205 yr by dj_tim_e
August 18, 20205 yr Well metrically it isn’t doing well compared to what they have released before. Please don’t tell me I need a reality check- it’s rude. You cannot compare pre-stream vs stream metrics, times have changed, a pop act like Little Mix being at #14 in 2020 is a sorta miracle the iTunes days are long gone

August 18, 20205 yr You cannot compare pre-stream vs stream metrics, times have changed, a pop act like Little Mix being at #14 in 2020 is a sorta miracle the iTunes days are long gone You’re missing my point here completely. #14 is respectable but it’s is clear as day that Little Mix are no longer the force they used to be, and will likely disband after this album or the next.
August 18, 20205 yr you realise Little Mix are at #14? Katy Perry is not even top 100 so that's a flop, but a song at #14, come on? on which planet that's a flop? Katy is comfortably top 100
August 18, 20205 yr Well metrically it isn’t doing well compared to what they have released before. Please don’t tell me I need a reality check- it’s rude. As aghast as I am at the notion of Bjork telling someone else they need a reality check, I don’t know if he’s all that wrong in this instance.
August 18, 20205 yr So based on all of the above, I can’t see the band having any longevity. I agree they're very much on the wane, but 9 years and counting sounds like longevity to me.
August 18, 20205 yr As aghast as I am at the notion of Bjork telling someone else they need a reality check, I don’t know if he’s all that wrong in this instance. I don’t understand why I need a reality check? All I said was that Little Mix’s success dwindling single by single, and that they will likely disband after this album or the next. Ok basing this on stats of how well they are doing!
August 18, 20205 yr I agree they're very much on the wane, but 9 years and counting sounds like longevity to me. I agree that they have had incredible success and longevity for a girl group- which notoriously don’t-but I can’t see them sustaining that longevity passed this era or the next.

Ok basing this on stats of how well they are doing! But how well they're doing doesn't indicate whether they'll split? Girls Aloud went on "hiatus" after their biggest era. 1D's final album was their most successful single-wise. Little Mix not doing as well as the Glory Days era does not mean they'll split.
August 18, 20205 yr Obviously this isn't Little Mix's most successful era (that'd be absurd for a girlgroup a decade into their career) but they're still doing more than well enough that I'm not sure why they'd be calling it quits any time in the foreseeable future (unless for a reason other than declining numbers). The gap in the market for their music clearly still exists. Looks like H&H will be ACR on its 10th week so there's another #1 for Drake. He'd need to get past Nathan and Cardi first! I think if Drake gets a #1 from this era it's more likely it'll be with a different song.
August 18, 20205 yr If his album is out on 28th, that'd be just week before H&H is ACR so it's most likely the week after.
