Little Mix's latest release Not A Pop Song is off to a strong start on the Official Singles Chart, and could earn the group another Top 40 single this week.

In today's Official Chart Update, Not A Pop Song opens at Number 35. If it holds in the Top 40 until Friday (Oct. 16), it would mark Little Mix's 26th Top 40 single.

The track was co-written by Little Mix and co-produced by MNEK, who has worked on several songs for the band in the past, including Top 5 hit Touch and 2018's Strip.
