UK: Little Mix trump Bruno to #1 - 2nd fastest selling album of 2016

[Stef 61,598]

Congratulations to Little Mix, who have scored their first Number 1 on the Official Albums Chart today (November 25).

The group’s fourth collection Glory Days shifted just over 96,000 combined sales to bag the top spot – the highest first week sales for a UK girl group Number 1 since Spice Girls’ Spiceworld opened with 192,000 in 1997. It’s also the fastest-selling Number 1 album by any girl group in 15 years, since Destiny’s Child’s Survivor (2001).

Glory Days is now the second fastest-selling album of 2016, after David Bowie’s Blackstar in January (146,000), as well as beating the first-week sales of big records from the likes of Drake (78k) and Beyonce (73k) this year.

The album's lead single Shout Out To My Ex became Little Mix’s fourth Number 1 single last month, making them the X Factor winners with the most chart-toppers to their name.

Glory Days follows Little Mix’s three Top 5 collections DNA (#3) (2012), Salute (#4) (2013) and Get Weird (#2) (2015).

 

Little legends!!

Wow  Not Little Mix selling 3 more times than Joanne 

[DelusionalGaga 29,580]

Not me thinking that Little Mix made a single featuring Trump and Bruno Mars when seeing that title

local mess, I live in Europe and don't even know one of their songs

[Greg 6,330]

It's crazy to think no girl group will probably ever have higher first week sales than Spiceworld which came out 19 years ago because of the current situation in the music world.

They are obviously huge in UK, but they are very local tbh..

Anyway, this is a huge success so congrats to them!

Well Little Mix are huge on the UK and Gaga hasn't had a #1 since 2010 or 2009 there

[Fiona Apple 13,006]

They are pretty local.This is true. They are mostly popular in the UK,Ireland,Australia and Germany I think
