PIO and stereo soldiers for me specially PIO. still haven't got over that
You are not alone in that wish..:(
I would also have been happy with any of LD, SS or Madhouse...
Edit:- I am really hoping the girls will be as "experimental" with this next album - though of course with a more mature range of tracks to go with their much improved talents...
To be honest, i'm still not overly keen on it. I think their name has been a largely overlooked sizeable obstacle in the way of them being taken seriously, amongst other things. I really think it's a bit of a lead weight and continues to be so... we might have got used to it but people first hearing about them (particularly older punters) will be having those same feelings we had at first. It sounds 'kiddy/teen pop band' not 'female vocal group'. Doesn't exactly have the same ring to it as 'Destinys Child' or 'En Vogue'.
As we all know, first impressions are everything.
I think the name holds them back a bit at this stage but will do more further along. They are fun girls and physically pretty slight so the Little works for now, but it would put people off I think. Rhythmix was far worse though.

I'm starting to get the feeling that while its very admirable to stick to your guns, it only works if you are making good choices. I'm not 100% sure the girls make the right choices with their singles and they may actually be part of what's holding them back.
Speaking of experimental, maybe Jesy shouldnt have been so quick to dismiss that producer wanting them to try a country influence. Dolly Parton's album has been Top 5 ever since Glastonbury, which tells me there are people in the UK receptive to that sound. I wouldnt expect LM to sing about double wide trailers in a Tennessee accent or anything but at least try things out. It may lead to something else outside of their bubble.
Its not my thing either, but I find bluegrass very similar to Irish and Scottish music which makes sense considering how that part of the country was settled.
I'm really looking forward to hearing their 1st Single from Album 3.
Since Move was fantastic. That was announced on 19 September 2013 with the first play on Radio 1 the following Monday. So unless they are doing two pre album singles I think it will be the same timescale as Move was.
have you guys ever noticed wings and salute have the same backing vocals? I noticed that the other day when one track played right after the other, listen closely its basically the same thing, the harmony that starts salute is almost identical to the one they use in wings

Good find they're similar, I was listening to Wings today and pacifically to the backing vocals but I never made the connection.

Isnt the consensus here that it may have hurt their album sales to only have one single out before the album? I wonder if they could squeeze another single out a week before the album like the DNAs did. (Eh forgot that Wings was released in late August, so nevermind).
May hurt first week sales but not overall, 2nd, 3rd, 4th singles are meant to keep the album selling. A great 2nd single after the album's release could be beneficial.

I hope they do the two-lead single thing. But I no longer hope for nice things. I'll settle for them coming out with something that surpasses Move in every single way.

I'd like them to put out a lead in September and then a 2nd before album launch (like the week before so it has a chance of charting well). There will for sure be an X Factor spot. Although Salute + BGT has shown us that Little Mix benefit a lot from a big TV performance so I could see Syco wanting to launch the album with one. If they could delay the release date til end November then we could have had 2. But that hope has gone.
You lot probably found out about this years ago... but on ASCAP there's a song called 'Living Life' written by the girls.
I'm guessing it's from the 'DNA' era. The title it too tedious not to be.
It may be from the Salute album runup, if you look at the Work ID: 885778104. The DNA titles are all around 884- - - - - - except for the late registrations.
Iain James and MNEK cowrote it. The alternate titles are
DON'T CALL ME BABY
LIVIN' LIFE
NEKEJ MI BABY
NERKEJ MI BABY
WE OWN THE NIGHT <-- Like that one.

When there's Love Drunk, Red Planet, Madhouse, PIO and Stereo Soldier on that album
Hahahah! Red planet & madhouse would be the only acceptable answers in my book.

Nice that we got positions immediately around Salute this week. Put another 5200 in the till for Salute for a total of 153,000.

Good chart position but lousy album sales. Nevertheless, all UK girlgroups over the last few years have had Top 10 album peaks.

Also will they continue the 1 word First Singles?
WIngs - Move - ?

Change Your Life and Little Me.
I said a great 2nd single
I snorted juice up my nose laughing at this.

wah wah wah
