That hashtag is partially carried along as a meme, so I think that explains it. If it enters popular culture, they're set.

If the girls could get some really well timed promo in the US in the next month, it would really help. It would be a long shot but the best slot would probably be SNL the weekend after the election. Though ANY SNL would be amazing TBH.
And Jimmy Fallon, Ellen and American Music Awards but I'm dreaming with the last one.

Don't know what you mean lol. If you mean Little Mix aren't solo females it's meant as in a leading artist not a featuring one like Kyla on One Dance or Halsey on Closer.

It was a joke but how can a female group ensemble be a solo female? If you mean just "female" then yeah.

The more I listen to it, the less I hear the comparison TBH. The whole "4 chords" thing proves that most songs are basically the same anyway. Controversy? Bring it on. Blurred Lines was seeped in it and it sold 14 million copies.
And now I read on ATRL that it sounded like Shake It Out.

I read it sounds like a mix of SIO v UH v Love Myself (Hailee something)

So... basically not a copy of any of them. next thing we're going to have people accusing a song of being a copy of 6 different songs mixed together

Fin are you in the US? I always thought you were a Brit.

I notice this was written in Sydney. Buzzfeed NY loves LM.

High five Yank (unless you vote for Trump then I want nothing to do with you lol)

Screengrab at #15 US

I think they could peak at #14. JT is falling and barely ahead of them.

Done! Its #14!

Also on Smallzy at some point your evening ^^

SOTME has given Glory Days a boost in the US too on preorders. Before XF it was #9 Deluxe and around #18 Standard and now its #6 and #11.

Tomorrow the entertainment reporters come back to work after the weekend and we get to replay everything.

I think his show starts from 7pm Syd which would be 9am London......I would guess they would be on about 8ish for Smallzy so around 10am?


oh and they pre recorded for KissFM too....anything with Capital?

Yeah I'm curious how much of an echo effect this creates. Sunday launch was very effective given their main goal was hype, they had a good story and there was a big enough fanbase to create the initial buzz. Not a fit for a much smaller (or bigger) act but excellent choice by their team. Wonder if we will see it replicated by other acts that are at least decent live.

Anyway, finally got done traveling and got a chance to watch the live performance. Generally liked it! Great choice of staging. Obviously Perrie totally ran out of breath at one point but otherwise all solid. Their stage presence continues to grow. I think I'm mostly going to just replay the studio version for now though. Looking forward to seeing their performances of this one grow and develop. I guess as far as lives I've always been an acoustic guy anyway.

The very best sign for this song is how many neutral accounts on Twitter are obsessed with replaying it. They really stayed connected throughout the song imo and the song is one big singalong so I'm not surprised. I stand by my minor gripes about Electric production (by global single standards) but they largely delivered. I've stopped hearing Ugly Heart too.

Impressed at the #14 peak in the US. Curious to see if this will be tried in the US next year, or they have something else up their sleeve.

I think this song is going to benefit enormously from the backstory (Perrie's book excerpt etc) and its very relatable to anybody who had a sour relationship, hence that hashtag trending WW for what, 7 hours? Even if it falls in the US and it will, its going to be gathering sales along the way down, and I think it wont be a hard fall either. Then the video comes out at some point too extending the life.

And I have to hand it to Syco, this was a brilliant strategic campaign executed flawlessly. Well done.

My goodness gracious, the song is a lot stronger in the US than I thought it would be. Its still on dark green updates and its almost midnight here in California.

They lost their fanbase in Mongolia.

Not crazy about the song. But I can see it being a big anthem.

I'm not sure I got anything out of that 15 minute chat with Grimshaw other than they got a little tipsy last night. I just love hearing Jesy's voice on the radio though.

The song is Track of the Day.

1 Little Mix - Shout Out to My Ex
1.0000 1.0000
2 James Arthur - Say You Won't Let Go
0.6298 0.6829

Already #54 on Spotify.

Great performance. Great song.

I'm really happy at how far they've come and how CONFIDENT they look on stage! This should be big for them.

Here's a screengrab of Kworb for the US, read it and rejoice!

I'm shamefully hoping these controversies will generate curiosity streams.
There's a lot of "ft.'s" in that grab .
