I find it amazing how people don't get sarcasm sometimes. Little Mix have a bit of humour in their music and I put that part of the writing to the girls themselves.
SOTME is a brilliant slice of FU pop and such a contrast with some the earnest melancholy of the boys crying over their recording desks.

Oh, it's coming.
CV, do you still think it has no chance of going #1

I wanted LM to get a fourth week at #1, but "Rockabye" is a really good song. It deserves that #1 spot.

By the end of this week, Rockabye will probably be #1 on iTunes. JA is even pretty much with streams, but the sales have fallen off a lot.

Even though Rockabye moved up in position its still 1200 streaming sales a day just on Spotify behind SOTME. So it needs to catch up there or have sales that close that gap. I think it will take half of next week to do that.

It's going to be a very close race next week!

Does anyone know if Pete Robinson from PJ has said anything about SOTME or YGN?
He loved BM and LMLY.

Is this account real?

According to the official FB page, they have added another Nottingham date to the GD tour.

We can only hope Potus has discovered a class act, unlikely though.

felpcalibas, dasher of hopes and dreams :'(

I think 'Rockabye' is so like every other feat song around today. Whiney, nondescript female singer and a lazy, meaningless rap from an over-featured rapper with little to say.

yes, and the lyrics from the one time i heard it (not putting myself through it again) are like a retelling of this one time hit(?) .

i don't get that song lol. it's the annoying kind of half-catchy.



.....i've been genuinely wondering if this terrible song is the reason one of their band members left recently

I'd rather 'Starving' take place of SOTME to be honest, never gonna happen though.

Here's the full Chart Show TV interview from yesterday:

Ok so they DID co-write SOTME? Jesy said "we just wanted to write a song...." in response to the question about how the single came about.

UPDATE: She started following them on IG. Hmm .....

New Nottingham date

EDIT: oh, I didn't see that someone had already posted it!

At 4:10 "There's one that's a little bit Motown-ey" Looking forward to that one.

Japan - #61 (+31)
Japan Hot Overseas - #5 (NEW)
South Africa - #4 (NEW)

official chart?

Yes!

nice!

turns out it was indeed #18 in Spain too!

The official chart for Japan is Oricon. Was this Billboard? I tend to dismiss Billboard's own charts outside the US.

The handoff looks like just a few hours away now. Nevertheless, this was their longest time at #1 on iTunes and with the least promotion too.

Twitter is claiming F.U has been leaked.
