Can we unpin this now

Wow Spotify moved this right to the bottom of hot hits. They really didn't wanna support this era. I really don't think Between Us would have done any better: it's not streaming friendly, and even with a little push hasn't done anything.

I really think the quality of the song =/ equal success. Have you seen some of what becomes a hit these days? As I have said before, No is a perfectly good Little Mix single (No one is saying it's as good as Sweet Melody, but it's better than Kiss Me for example that did fine due to it not being Christmas). Regarding Hot Hits UK which is the main success factor for songs. All their singles (Break Up Song, Heartbreak Anthem, Confetti, Sweet Melody, Holiday etc etc) entered around #35 on there and quickly moved up over the next few weeks. 'No' entered at #46 and hasn't moved up in 4 weeks, so it's not really in for a fair chance, especially given everyone is listening to Christmas songs right now.

Only if Hot Hits moves it up, it'll probably rise a bit given half the chart is Christmas right now but really depends on playlisting.

Yeah I can see why they ended up keeping the name, even if they probably end up doing less songs from the album than was originally planned.

Yeah; on tour I don't care either way tbh if it's a high energy highly produced number which most of theirs are. You don't massively notice live vocals unless it's a ballad and I'd rather they mimed than held the microphone to the audience like they did for so much of the last show I was at. It's comforting knowing little mix CAN sing.

It was always going to be a steady seller regardless of peaks, due to the fact the hits will be streamed lots. I wouldn't be surprised if it got a new peak of #3 at some point.

Of course.

Between Us the standard is #10 on iTunes again now

No More Sad Songs of course.

Do we know who's doing the strictly final yet? Hoping it could be the girls.

Do we know if it'll be a single yet? Probably best not to push anything new until feb-ish anyway though.

I can't see it leaving the top 10 until after Christmas now.

8 in mids. Looking at 7 or 6 though. Westlife are 7. Lottery winners (???) at 6 but sold 139 copies yesterday

The film was pretty bad but I am happy to have supported. Leigh Anne's singing I enjoyed.

Their albums are indeed ropey - especially confetti. But LM5 and Salute are great overall. Glory Days has 3 or 4 stinkers but is mostly good.

Album is up to 32 and 35 on iTunes

The first half was ropey but the second half was perfect

Time wise - no one knows anything for certain and you may be right of course - but given Little Mix have not been 6 months without a single, 2/3 years will be more than enough for them for it to feel like a lengthy break. Cheryl did 3 album cycles between Girls Aloud's 3 year gap! Regarding your point about announcing it - I'm not mentioning him because you're a fan but it genuinely was the first thing that came to my mind but Ed Sheeran has twice announced the end of his album cycles as a "break from music" despite it only being 1/2 years each time.

Come on Perrie

I can definitely see them all getting at least one or two hits, even if as a feature. But I can't see them turning it into the touring/album selling force that would emulate anywhere near the success of Little Mix. I think they'll mostly do well, and enjoy the break. But I just think Little Mix as a brand is so secure in the UK that they'll be able to go back to it with huge success. I assume they'll miss the arena tours.

Yeah, if Jesy watches Norton tonight, I assume it'll be hard for her

Oh the Experience is 8.99 too! Shame the normal is still full price. The Highest version is going to be the version wit the Galantis remix of No as #1, which only really makes sense on Apple Music

I'm sure they will, but as a group, they're massively lucrative in a way that I doubt will be hard to top elsewhere, so I'm sure they'll want that arena touring money again after not too long.

Where are the reductions?
