Posted August 18, 20213 yr @1428039264898535430 TODAY IS THE DAY. 10 YEARS SINCE THE FORMATION OF THE GREATEST GIRL GROUP OF ALL TIME (for many of us of course :P) HAPPY ANNIVERSARY TO THEM AND HOPE Y'ALL HAVE A GREAT DAY CELEBRATING :wub: How are you planning to celebrate this momentous occasion? What memories do you have?
August 18, 20213 yr What a massive milestone for them! They truly do define what an iconic girl group is. Everything they have achieved is down to their sheer talent, resilience and hard work - so well deserved!
August 18, 20213 yr Author I shall be listening to nothing but them today (when not at work - ugh, but best believe I will be playing one of their albums in store x) It still blows my mind that we're here tbh. 10 years and they're actually still riding so high in the charts with a fanbase so loyal and dedicated to them. This ain't no "we've been gone for a couple of years and haven't done anything as a group for a while" 10 year celebration. They've actually had 10 straight years of success. Incredible. Getting emotional rn. I need to sleep but GAH! What a legendary career they've had so far!
August 19, 20213 yr What a great point Tafty! Besides a few quiet patches in terms of top 10 or big hits they've been extremely consistent the entire 10 years. Such and achievement.
August 19, 20213 yr I don't have Spotify premium anymore but let me know if they're celebrating in any way. I noticed the This Is playlist changed.
August 19, 20213 yr 10 years is such a massive achievement for a group, especially in this day and age when most artists only last a few years! I've already been watching some of their old x-factor moments this morning and its crazy to see how far they've come. I'm deffo gonna be listening to them all day.
August 19, 20213 yr I don't have Spotify premium anymore but let me know if they're celebrating in any way. I noticed the This Is playlist changed. Yeah the This Is Little Mix playlist is also being promoted on the homepage with ‘Celebrate 10 Years Of Little Mix! Listen to all of their hits here” HBA still isn’t on there though :lol: Edited August 19, 20213 yr by Dynasty.
August 19, 20213 yr I don't have Spotify premium anymore but let me know if they're celebrating in any way. I noticed the This Is playlist changed. The song order has changed slightly.. Hearbreak Anthem STILL isn’t on the playlist though?
August 19, 20213 yr Happy 10 years :heart: it's been incredible to follow their journey from X Factor 2011 to the present day. I'm working from home today so will put their music on in the background!
August 19, 20213 yr I genuinely thought their career was over after Salute, then I thought they had sort of lost support/fans/relevance after their 2019 underperformances and then I thought they'd lose momentum after Jesy left but they just CONSTANTLY win. In ten years the only 'flops' they had were a Christmas single and a charity single. A straight run of Platinum singles from summer 2014 (Salute) until winter 2018 (Woman Like Me) is f***ing incredible. Sometimes I can't believe how lucky we as fans are to witness so much success. There's so much to celebrate.
August 19, 20213 yr I'm so proud of all four girls and so proud of Leigh, Perrie and Jade carrying on the LM legacy :wub: Little Mix are the full package, they can sing, they can dance, they have stage presence, they are stunning - they are PERFECT pop stars. I've followed them since X Factor and it's amazing to have seen them grow so much and absolutely smash it! Little Mix are my personal favourite girl group of all time. There will never be another group like Little Mix again, they are one of a kind. Breaking records 10 years into their career and still making hits? LITTLE LEGENDS. I will forever support all four girls - HAPPY 10TH ANNIVERSARY :wub:

There's so much to celebrate.The amount of lifelines they've had... whew. I honestly expected their 3rd era to be a massive bomb. News of them "scrapping the [original] album" and just the general feel/hype coming off what was considered to be "an underperforming era" in 'Salute'... they had everything going against them at the time, but then 'Black Magic' happened and kick started a lengthy "imperial phase" for them. We then had to deal with 2019... probably their worst ever year. Just a shit show from March onwards, before 'Break Up Song' put them back in favour with the public. Giving them another boost of major success after many had written them off. Now here we are. 10 years later. Surviving a member leaving when other groups seem to fall apart after their first member decides to leave, but there seems to be a plan in motion to further protect their legacy as a group. It can actually go back further to their time on X Factor too. With how girl groups had been perceived with the show and how much XF used to always push for the boy bands over the girl groups... There's actual proof that predictions had them being the first act to leave... but nope. They were barely ever in the bottom half of the votes. 'E.T.' happened and then soon after 'Don't Let Go (Love)' happened and changed it all completely. Their journey is honestly unmatched.
August 19, 20213 yr The only downside to this is that when they eventually do split/retire from the industry there's probably never going to be another big girl group like them again. :( I feel like with the transition to the streaming era we've lost a TON of girl groups and with X-Factor gone there's no way of producing another Little Mix/Fifth Harmony again. I genuinely feel like they're going to be the last 'big' girl group Britain will see for at least a decade.
August 19, 20213 yr I’ve just been listening to their discography all day I honestly can’t get over how perfect it is. they’re so overlooked when it comes to having a solid discography because of some duds as if Katy, Rihanna, Ariana, Taylor, Beyoncé, Gaga etc don’t have any. They have a true pop girl discography and it’s ace.
August 20, 20213 yr QtI0b08O2OA Aww the feels from this trip down memory lane! I remember initially wanting Amelia Lily to win and then being firmly team Little Mix from 'E.T.' onwards *.*
