Since beating the odds to be crowned winners of The X Factor in 2011, Little Mix have tirelessly turned out hit records and now rank among the UK's great girlbands of all time.
Celebrating eight years since they formed this week, Jesy, Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie have amassed 15.8 million chart sales across their 23 Top 40 singles, as well as 3 million album chart sales. View Little Mix's full Official Charts history here.
Four of the group's singles have reached Number 1 on the Official Singles Chart, but are they their four biggest overall? Here's how they stack up.
Cannonball
Official Chart Peak: Number 1
Released: 2011
Combined sales: 525,000
The group's lowest selling Number 1 is their X Factor winner's single - a cover of Damien Rice's Cannonball, which was a Top 40 hit for the folk musician in 2003. Placing 13th in their all-time Top 20, it's a song Little Mix rarely acknowledge these days, but knowing that Simon Cowell probably didn't even considered them show champions when selecting the winner's single makes it slightly more palatable.
Little Mix with their Official Number 1 Single Award for Wings
Wings
Official Chart peak: Number 1
Released: 2012
Combined sales: 772,000
Little Mix's first single proper was a life-affirming banger encouraging everyone to live their best life. It spent a week at Number 1 and has aged remarkably well, placing seventh on their Top 20 with 25 million streams logged to date, despite being released two years before streaming records began.
Move
Official Chart Peak: Number 3
Released: 2013
Combined sales: 626,000
It may be their lowest charting album lead single (heading up their second record Salute), but Move is one of their most acclaimed, mostly for its killer harmonies and wonky structure. It places 12th on their Top 20 chart.
Hair
Official Chart Peak: Number 11
Released: 2015
Combined sales: 770,000
Hair is the group's biggest single to miss the Top 10, and in terms of chart sales, outperforms some of their higher charting songs including Salute, DNA and Word Up. Hair was first released as a teaser track ahead of their Get Weird album, before being upgraded to single status in 2016 with a new mix featuring Sean Paul.
Secret Love Song
Official Chart Peak: Number 6
Released: 2015
Combined sales: 1.02 million
Little Mix's biggest ballad ranks at Number 5 in their Top 20, topping one million chart sales. The collaboration with Jason Derulo - who co-wrote the song - was apparently inspired by the group's Radio 1 Live Lounge cover of his single Want To Want Me.
Touch
Official Chart Peak: Number 4
Released: 2016
Combined sales: 1.37 million
Despite missing the top spot, Touch is one of Little Mix's most successful singles. The MNEK-produced track spent ten weeks in the Top 10, six of which were spent stuck at Number 4. It narrowly misses out on being their most streamed song, with a massive 119 million plays to date.
Little Mix with their Official Number 1 Single Award for Shout Out To my Ex
Shout Out To My Ex
Official Chart Peak: Number 1
Released: 2016
Combined sales: 1.57 million
This kiss-off anthem - released a few months after Perrie's split from Zayn Malik- charged straight in at Number 1 and spent three weeks there, shifting 95,000 chart sales in it's opening week. It was also the only chart-topping single that year with a female lead - Girl Power indeed!
