Hey, How You Ratin'? - The Little Mix Discography Rate! (Winner!)

In 2011, during the eighth season of The X Factor UK, four girls with the dream of being massive stars had their dreams crushed at bootcamp. That is, until they were put together by Tulisa and Kelly Rowland to create a fresh new girl group. Little Mix were born. The girls easily connected with the British public and steamrolled through their season and beat the dreaded “girlband curse” the show had seen in all seven previous seasons. The public fell in love with these four women and Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall did what no other group had ever done – male or female – they won the whole show. They quickly began to dominate the UK market.

- 30m records sold around the world
- 14 Top 10 singles in the UK plus another 7 Top 20 singles
- The most certified Girl Group in UK chart history
- The longest charting Girl Group album of all time in the UK
- 2 Brit Awards
- Over 2m concert tickets sold
- Of the Top 100 biggest Girl Group singles in UK chart history, 17 songs belong to Little Mix, 11 of which are in the Top 40.

Little Mix have released five studio albums to date and these stats prove that through these five eras, they have reached a lot of people with their music. So, with that said, we are going to collectively look at their discography and rate their music together. The albums we will be rating are as follows:

Normal rate rules apply and all scores should be sent to me via PM. We will be rating from 0-10, 0 obviously being the lowest. I will be allowing scores to 2 decimal places e.g. 8.52 is an acceptable score, 8.525 is not. Keeping up with tradition, you will be allowed to score your favourite Little Mix track with an 11 rating. You get one so use it wisely. I’m not going to make you guys rate multiple versions of the same track so if you prefer Touch ft. Kid Ink instead of the original (get taste) then you may rate that version instead. I don’t need separate scores for songs like Secret Love Song part’s 1&2 or The Cure and The Cure (stripped) just vote for whichever one you prefer. I encourage you all to take your time with scoring and commentary for each track is encouraged (although not compulsory) so that we can have some detailed eliminations.

I will be allowing a 6 week voting period for the rate which allows you over a week for each album. You have plenty of time but try to submit ASAP so that on the deadline day I’m not a ball of stress and that I can start eliminations promptly. You have until August 5th to send your scores to me via PM. I will attach an easily copy/paste list for you to use to rate the tracks. Please remember to rate every single track.

Let the fun begin x

Also reserved xx

 

First in! I’ve mostly quit rates but I might fuck around with this one.

 

Please do take part! I'm sure it won't be too taxing since they've got bops x

 

I'd been waiting for this to start for an excuse to finally listen to their albums. I'll definitely be participating!

 

Me: Knows every single song on the list well enough to rate them all right now.
Also me: Still sends my votes in at 11.59pm on August 4th.

 

nnyas send me into a breakdown at the last minute, queen x

 

I'm ready.

 

Oh I am so here for this.
I understand not eating multiple versions, but u feel like the two Secret Love Songs are very different, so I think we should rate both but it's fine if we're not. Also Yes! At the title.

 

Been meaning to listen to Little Mix for a long time. Will use this as an excuse to get to it.

Will try to be in before the deadline.

 

Due to the lyrics being pretty much the exact same, I decided not to bother including them separately because it’s just time consuming for you guys to listen, rate and comment on both. It’d take up time for me to sift through pretty identical commentary when it came to eliminations. If you prefer Part 2, just give me the score for that instead of Part 1.

I feel like if I made an exception for Secret Love Song, I’d then start getting people asking to rate singles/album versions separately too and I’d like to avoid cluttering things up too much. Hope you understand x

 

Count me in!

 

I am in, of course.

I know I will get frustrated at how overrated Salute (the album) is by most members, but... This will be fun!

(By the way, I am one of those that sends everything at the last minute!)

 

Gonna be so mad when people tank my faves ugh. Stan Case Closed!!!

 

Yes I am here to stan Salute aka one of the best girl group albums of all time. Yes I am, girls.

 

Oooh! Already know my 11... and hope it doesn't completely flop.

 

I've literally been waiting for this so damn excitedly. I am hyped and ready!

 

I understand! Hopefully though, everyone will just score the superior part 2 and it'll make top 10 like it deserves.
