Spicechinodiva Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 It's no secret, Columbia records refuses to promote Little mix in the states.. This states back to a promo trip where the girls was told to flirt and be **** in front of radio programmers and such. Since the girls said no, Columbia treated them as just a distribution deal thx to Simon Cowell's Label. While their first five albums debuted in the US Billboard top 40, their first 3 albums made the girls, the first British girl group to have 3 US Top 20 albums, plus DNA debuted at #4, breaking a 16 year record by the Spice girls when Spice Debuted at #6 back in 1997 However Spice, went to #1 in the US and ended being the only girl group album in Billboard history to end up being the year ends top album of a calendar year and winning the girls several BBMAs based on chart achievements. Little mix, was told like any other girl group from the UK. Told they are unmarketable in the US. Confetti became their lowest charting album in the US, peaking at #85, this is due to no CD was made for local Distribution, since it was sold as a physical via import. Billboard's rules stated any import music is denied from charting.. But congrats girls on being part of the top 200 pop streaming albums. Link to comment
Alxatc Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Being from the US I can’t really see them being popular here... Honestly I’ve tried getting into their songs but they all sound kinda basic to me Link to comment

Stefani Posted February 4, 2021 Share Posted February 4, 2021 Of course their album is doing well; they used Jesy's departure last year to drum up interest in their discography. Link to comment

Jesy left AFTER the album came out so that's obviously not the case, no need to hate! They do extremely well elsewhere, unfortunately they are not big in the US. Their album was one of the biggest selling albums of the year in the UK and the best selling album in the first week by a British Act in 2020! Link to comment

I just think we like to hear new sounds and styles. Listening to Gloves Up right now, and it just doesn’t sound like anything I haven’t heard before. The voices are nothing unique or interesting n my opinion. I personally appreciate artists with voices that stand out. Not saying they aren’t talented though. Link to comment
