Was a physical DNA single ever released? I was in my local HMV and saw a cardboard sleeve of the single for £14.99 with the single artwork. I always assumed it was just a pricing error and that the CD single was readily available until I went home and could find no trace of it.

To what :w00t:

The way I've just made the link from these above clips that the co-writer Sarah Hudson is cousin's with Kate Hudson, making Goldie Hawn her aunt. Stanning her niece' song!

I don't expect them to promote as normal but they could provide fresh content to ensure the best chance of a new peak. The label could easily discount the single as previously mentioned. A performance would be great too - Graham Norton or James Corden (I've already said if Mel C can book a home performance slot there's no excuse for LM's team to not do the same!)

Why are they not doing more to push this back into the Top 10? It could quite possibly re-peak. So frustrating!

Perrie recently said this is one of her favourites and we know they how much they love Nicki. That only leaves one...

I'm not sure if it's because of what we know now but I found the show incredibly cold and quite depressing (Viva Forever & 2 Become 1 aside!) in parts. Thank god for SW19!

Weekend Love is their worst song period. I can't believe it's not in last place.

Kinda disappointed we were potentially eyeing up a return to the Top 15/10 for next week and now we'll be lucky if it stays Top 20 :cry:

I'll forever be frustrated by the mid-week release. The original version was doing so well and actually charted so their team panicked and released the song on a Wednesday. If they had held off, it was looking likely to go Top 10. It then just teetered around the low-teens and radio stations stopped supporting it. That snap decision really cost them having their first post-album Top 10.

I definitely think they missed the boat by not releasing in 1999. There was still so much good will towards them and enough time for them to be missed but not overshadowed. In my mind, I envisage a surprise debut performance at 99 VMA's. Imagine a performance a la Fifth Harmony, throwing 'Geri' off the stage. The Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) that would've occurred! I think a campaign from September 99-March 2000 would've been a great way to go out. If they had went out on top, I suppose public perception wouldn't have been as bad and they could've returned some years down the line, but alas we'll never know.

Yeah, they are sales when the album was first released in the US! Their US certifications are due an update. I'm certain Wings, Black Magic & SOTME are Platinum as well as Touch & Woman Like Me being Gold.

Slightly O/T but Woman Like Me single cover should've been for LM5. Their best artwork by a mile!

I think a summer release would've been too premature for the era to begin, they had just finished their last one in December 2017. 'Only You' was the perfect bridge between 'Glory Days' and 'LM5'. 'Woman Like Me' was the perfect lead single. The feature created interest outside of the fanbase and it became their fastest streaming single. It was also released at the right time. Had the label conflict not began, an X Factor performance should've been slotted 2 days after the release to help their chances at the getting the best debut week sales. I'm confident it would've been a dead cert #1, especially if their team could've secured a Nicki appearance. There was a definite lack of promotion for 'WLM' - both in the UK and internationally, more talk show appearances and performances should've been booked to maximise hype and awareness. On album release week, 'Monster in Me' should've been added to most NMF playlists in place of 'Strip'. The song is more appropriate for Winter and a ballad would've helped get an older demographic on board, especially with their appearances on shows like Strictly & Graham Norton etc. It would've allowed them to showcase their vocal capabilities and help shift 'LM5' over the Christmas period. A dark music video (and vertical Spotify video) with striking visuals a la Billie Eilish's 'Bury a Friend' would've been ideal to give them more of an edge and tap into the mature image they wanted to portray this era. It could've also helped with streaming support internationally. The major concern I have with the album is for how great in quality it is, there is definite lack of single choices. I would've went for 'Wasabi' as single 3 because fan favourite. I do, however, think they are doing the right thing by releasing a new single this summer. Hopefully it will help push the album to platinum. But I do think the era has been handled well, considering the label conflict and transition.

So... is there a Little Mix single anyone likes in here?

Woman Like Me is platinum in Australia.
