This was hilarious though.

A question for leigh, have u ever thought about starting your own clothing line since you're such a fashionista #LittleMixDeezer

I love Lerrie. And thats what they think of going solo.

I agree with the repetitive view, but I think the track as a whole is only 'ok'.

I wouldn't even choose F.U. for a lead, although I like it a lot..

Imo, what's needed is a sharp shock to the US listening public.- Hit them with 'Power',
Private Show' or even 'Freak'

In other words something completely unexpected..
Make them sit up and take notice.......”

Pretty much agree with all of this. PS and Freak are my runaway favourites tbh (so far) and Power has grown on me tremendously.

I'm sure the radio edit will be far better. Sure they'll add a feat. I really like this song and believe it will do good especially in places like France, Spain, Portugal...

Mr. Spectrum Pulse rated the LM album higher than Metallica.

^Higher than Bruno, too. I didn't think about that album in nearly the same depth but I think the score he gave it is justified.

Latin Americans are bummed about the same non answer LM gave to touring in the region. The Road Trip stops werent for nothing though. I would think Team LM should give them some hope otherwise I think people might start dropping off.

I'm really hoping they'll find a couple of midsummer weeks to hit SA in between the Europe and Oceania legs.

I know the question has been asked, but why do LM need the US? This might provide some insight from an HDD article. It's money, honey.

Why, then, do British execs still make considerably less than their American counterparts, considering that the business has become so global in scale—especially now, as the streaming sector explodes while their acts throw off such big sales numbers? The reason for this salary gap is rooted in the fact that for years the profits of the U.K. labels paled in comparison to those of the U.S. companies; it’s also one of the reasons that most British execs want to relocate to the U.S.

Also from the same article, one of LM's big supporters has left Syco to do his own thing.

Sonny Takhar is planning to spend most of his time in L.A. as he starts his new venture, which will have a distribution deal with Sony. The newco is being financed by private investors rather than private equity, and is said to have Simon Cowell’s full support.

I wish they'd do something to cross the 100k, honestly I think if I was on their place I'd buy the remaining copies myself just for the milestone haha, with sales decreasing I don't think they'll have this chance again

from atrl

I worry about this, have read it a few times already due to the song being repetitive:
"Touch is a pop hit waiting to happen, but it gets old fast, unfortunately."

I've been tracking that ATRL poster's Hot 100 predictions since SOTMX began appearing and how accurate they have been. There's an Early prediction on Tues. and then a more refined Final one on Sundays. Here's how this last week's went. Points are awarded on some system and thats how the position is predicted.

Early Prediction

95 That's My Girl 37 (debut)
96 Sex With Me 37 (re-entry)
97 Hasta El Amanecer 36 (re-entry)
98 Wat U Mean 36 (-3)
99 Parachute 36 (debut)
100 Gangsta 36 (=)

Others

Shout Out To My Ex 34
Hold Up 33
Water Under The Bridge 29
Cool Girl 28
Million Reason 26

Final prediction

95 Sex With Me 39 (re-entry)
96 Water Under The Bridge 39 (re-entry)
97 80s Mercedes 38 (-6)
98 Dirt On My Boots 38 (debut)
99 Goosebumbs 37 (re-entry)
100 Hasta El Amanecer 37 (re-entry)

Others

That's My Girl 35
Shout Out To My Ex 35
Hold Up 31
Cool Girl 28
Million Reason 27

Actual: #95 Re-entry

The early prediction for next Tues. is now:

95 Setting Fires 39 (-9)
96 Shout Out To My Ex 39 (-1)
97 Redbone 38 (debut)
98 Kids 38 (re-entry)
99 Pen-Pineapple-Apple-Pen 38 (-6)
100 Call On Me 38 (-1)

Which is good, the longer the song can stay in the Hot 100 the longer it stays on various video and Spotify playlists.

But what about our gains and returning entries? Well, again, bit of a mixed bag, but I think it's a net positive overall. Yeah, it stinks that 'Bad Things' by MGK and Camila Cabello continues to rise to 46, but the rest here aren't bad....but looking to our returning entries... the worst here is Rihanna's 'Sex With Me' at 92, which is just mediocre. The rest are actually pretty great, from 'Goosebumps' by Travis Scott and Kendrick clawing back to 100, 'Shout Out To My Ex' by Little Mix stepping up to 95

ok but on that video none of the fans had the album, I was sure these signings would be to help Glory Days sales, yet they were giving Salute for free to the fans?

They definitely love repeating the chorus a lot of times in their songs. One of the main reasons why some of their tracks get annoying super fast. I think they didn't need to sing the chorus twice after the first verse in Touch, once would have been enough, same goes for SOTME.

I prefer NMSS and Power over Touch now.

The tickets for their shows in Europe are pretty expensive.

Edit:
They'll be in Germany Dec 4th.

I'm hoping NMSS, Power and Private Show are singles.
