Little Mix's "Confetti" album debuted at #2 in the UK behind Kylie Minogue. This becomes their sixth consecutive Top 5 album. Official Charts Company also revealed "Confetti" was the most streamed album of the week.

"Confetti" debuted at #1 in Ireland and became their third #1 album there.

Little Mix's new single 'Sweet Melody' has landed at #3 this week and non-single 'Confetti' (song) debuted at #23.

They both did amazing!  Such a shame LM didn't release on a different week, but i'm glad to see both artists have a very successful week!

I don’t feel too bad for Little Mix...yes, a number one is nice, but the fact that they are pulling these kind of numbers alongside true global superstar LEGENDS is a MASSSIIVVVEEE accomplishment for them. And the era is just beginning. if Confetti (song) can rise as Sweet Melody runs its course, they’re in for a very, VERY long and successful era.

That's very true, I think they are really solidifying their status in the UK & the rest of Europe 

I hope Sweet Melody rises to #1, but i'm happy with it being a Top 3 hit! 

I hope they re-release in January with a few new tracks to try get #1.

Hopefully they make this era last a while!

These are insane numbers. They'll get #1 next week im sure. Its a brilliant album, on par (maybe better) with Glory Days.

I'm not sure AC/DC, Paloma and McFly are releasing next week and apparently the first to usually sell well 

Hopefully they do eventually get to number one! They have been doing extremely well and i'm glad Sweet Melody is doing well!

I agree, this is my favourite album! Glory Days coming second!
