Definitely agree with that bottom 3 ! I have a soft spot for Bounce Back I personally love it and the video is one of there best imo .

'One I've Been Missing' is no Christmas classic in the making but it's cute. I hope it can crack the top 40 for them eventually!

 

'Cannonball' bottom 3 feels about right. I loved it at the time as I was really rooting for them on X Factor but it's not something I really return to nowadays.

 

I feel like 'Bounce Back' is slowly growing on me over time. I blame it being one of the better songs in that AF Idol 'bad songs' round, it went up in my estimations a bit! :lol: I mean, the chorus is lazy and a bit tacky, but the bounce production is fun. AMAZING video too of course!

 

'Little Me' is probably my favourite that has dropped out so far - I've always found it really underrated. It was something I easily clung on to at the time as a 16-year-old and I guess that initial warmth just never went away. The chorus feels like a big hug and it's punchier than it gets credit for.

 

'Change Your Life' lives on through its instrumental being used in talent shows *.* I think 'Little Me' stole my heart a bit more from their motivational ballads and I left this one behind a bit. It's sweet though.

I think the results are pretty much perfect so far, pretty much all of the questionable singles out first - next must be "Think About Us".

Not me being in the top scorers for the bottom 3 songs :nocheer: word up is honestly so underrated, such a fun bop!!

 

Woman like me out next plz x

Think About Us is Top 10 (5?) material.

19 & 20

20. How Ya Doin'? (feat. Missy Elliott) [AVG. 6.82]
Singles Rate History: [9-13-19-17-20]



Highest Scores: JosephStyles, ...ready for it, troylovesmusic, HarryBorelli, Slick & AaronTM (10) | XhannahlongX (09)
Lowest Scores: Cameron (-01) | Wall (00)

Kick starting the top 20 is the girls first "rent-a-rapper" feature single. The infectious and oddly fresh How Ya Doin'? which features mega superstar rapper, Missy Elliott. The single mix of this song is a lot better and more superior to the bland album version, it kind of gives it a much needed kick. It's one that hasn't aged at all, despite it being such a throwback 90's RnB vibe. It bops.

19. Hair (feat. Sean Paul) [AVG. 6.96]
Singles Rate History: [x-9-14-12-19]



Highest Scores: troylovesmusic (09.5) | Liam & JosephStyles (09) | caseclosed, xan, Tafty, MixedUp & UltraFolklore (08.5) | Anth, JulianNial, Jack, Billy., Josh!, jlj, Jay*, HarryBorelli & HausofHitchcock (08)
Lowest Scores: George.keh (-01) | shadow2009 & Cameron (03)

Taking a big hit in the average and falling 7 places is the ridiculously catchy Hair. It's just a real feel-good anthem and the video is so much fun and just a JOY to watch. The video which showcase their individual personalities the best imo. It's a shame this took a hit! I think the Sean Paul feature is great!

A 7 place drop for 'Hair' :drama: that is so underrated! I think the video really helped the song to click with me, it's so joyful. :wub:

 

I do have some nostalgic feelings towards 'How Ya Doin'?' - it was their latest single when I first saw them live, so they mentioned it a lot, plus the video dropped when I was having a sick day off school so that brightened it up (quite literally with the colour palette of it :lol:) - however, that feels about right for it.

 

Hopefully 'Think About Us' and 'Only You' drop out soon!

Wow Hair truly is kinda forgotten about these days despite being a big hit for them!

'Hair' isn't very good in hindsight but I loved it at the time.

 

'How Ya Doin' ROBBED.

No surprises as of yet

How Ya Doin'? constantly underrated. I was expecting Only You to be out before Hair, but no real shocks as of yet.

17 & 18

18. Only You (Cheat Codes x Little Mix) [AVG. 7.21]
Singles Rate History: [x-x-x-14-18]



Highest Scores: Frenchie (11) | Nick F1, Wall & Klumpkin (10)
Lowest Scores: Cameron & Jade (03) | TheArchitect (04)

Falling 4 places and taken a hit on it's average is Only You. I've said this time and time again, I genuinely think this is their most underrated single ever. It really hits for me and it is a MOMENT live! I'm sad (but not surprised) it is a faller though. It was a cute hit for the girls, but I think more people wanted more from a LM/DJ collaboration.

17. Think About Us (feat. Ty Dolla $ign) [AVG. 7.21]
Singles Rate History: [x-x-x-13-17]

Lowest Scores: The Architect (02.5) | jsweetxe, Jade & Cremey (04)

An experiencing the same drop in position as 'Only You' is their 2nd single from 'LM5', Think About Us, which featured US rapper Ty Dolla $ign. A cute bop! Deserves more and doesn't deserve to be forgotten about, although this is one of their remixes I never go back to and just stick with the original. Ty, to me, doesn't bring anything to the table for this at all. I thought this would be bigger than it was and it's a shame it wasn't.

No surprises as of yet

Nope :cry:

Quite surprised Hair is so low . How Ya Doin has always been so underrated imo such a jam the video was so fun . I like Holiday but the hard time this forum normally gives it I’m surprised it’s still in to be honest !

16. Wings [AVG. 7.34]
Singles Rate History: [6-10-13-16-16]



Highest Scores: ...ready for it (10) | UltraFolklore & AaronTM (09.5) | Jack, Chemistry, Josh!, Jade, Nina West, jlj & Slick (09)
Lowest Scores: Wall (00) | colinn & The Architect (04)

Next is a non-mover (with 3 brand new entries above it!) but an INCREASE in average for their first "proper" debut single, Wings. I like this, but it's not really a "go to" for me, despite understanding how important it is to us/Little Mix. I can't ever begrudge it doing well in their singles rates and appreciate why it has stans, but for me, I think it's one of the ones that's aged pretty woefully. Cute debut smash though!

15. Holiday [AVG. 7.55]
Singles Rate History: [x-x-x-x-15]



Highest Scores: Wall (10) | Rossco (09.5) | Frenchie, Billy., Josh!, Tafty, ...ready for it, troylovesmusic, HarryBorelli & MixedUp (09)
Lowest Scores: Davidson (-01) | The Architect (04)

A new entry kicks off our top 15 and it's the 2nd single from 'Confetti'. Holiday felt like such a huge Summer smash in the waiting when I first heard it. I genuinely thought we were in for a big hit with them. Whilst it wasn't a "flop", it really didn't set the charts alight and I don't get why? It seemed tailor made for radio AND streaming. Was it the weather that affected it? On the hotter more Summery days it received big boosts, but raining and dull days it had big falls. Idk, but something didn't click in the same way with others as it did with me. A great video to boot, too!

Think About Us one of my most played LM songs, such a underrated bop

Yay I got my wish of 'Only You' and 'Think About Us' dropping out :kink: both so mediocre, the latter being released as a single made sense at the time because it *seemed* like a commercially viable option, but it didn't even crack the top 20 so... justice for 'Strip' or 'Wasabi' instead!

 

I loved 'Wings' when it was released and I still have a soft spot for it, even if it hasn't aged amazingly.

 

'Holiday' was such a comedown after the brilliant 'Break Up Song' - it's fine, but I want more than that from them. Thankfully 'Sweet Melody' was back to the greatness :wub:

Glad to see How Ya Doin? Out early, horrible song.

 

You kinda forget how huge Hair was but sales wise it was actually quite a monster hit wasn’t it?

 

Only You is beyond underrated, one of their best tracks. Such a feel good song.

 

Wings has aged so much and holiday deserved better x

13 & 14

14. Woman Like Me (feat. Nicki Minaj) [AVG. 7.63]
Singles Rate History: [x-x-x-15-14]



Highest Scores: 365, Frenchie, troylovesmusic & Slick (10) | Rossco (09.5) | Anth, Jack, Billy., shindymindy, Tafty, tomwright123, Jay*, HarryBorelli & MixedUp (09)
Lowest Scores: jlj (-01) | The Architect (03)

At #14 and not only gaining a place but increasing it's average by going from 7.26 last time to 7.70 this time, it's the Nicki Minaj collab Woman Like Me. I think this is their most polarizing single to date. Either way, people seem to have strong opinions on this one. I'm very happy to see people on this site seem to have warmed to it at least. It's so slick and feisty and has the right amount of sass in it! A lot of the quintessential markings of a Little Mix hit!

13. Shout Out To My Ex [AVG. 7.92]
Singles Rate History: [x-7-12-11-13]



Highest Scores: HarryBorelli & MixedUp (11) | Rossco, Klumpkin, Nina West, jlj, troylovesmusic, Jay* & UltraFolklore (10)
Lowest Scores: Jack (-01) | Nick F1 (02.5)

At #13 and with a very small decrease in average and position is the girls biggest hit to date, Shout Out To My Ex. It's an empowering pop anthem and it seems to be surprisingly polarizing for a song that seems like it should be celebrated across the board. A lot of people compare this to 'Black Magic' and I get why. Both about as pure pop as you can get that just end up being all out anthems. It's probably about right in my rankings, but I'm always surprised that this seems to struggle to get inside the top 10.

'Woman Like Me' is underrated, bop! Although Nicki's part could do with shortening. One of their best videos <3

 

Surprised that 'Shout Out To My Ex' is out so early :o but not complaining as I got bored of it pretty quickly.
