## Formation and first release

[Perrie Edwards](https://www.edgepedia.org/perrie-edwards), Jade Thirlwall, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and [Jesy Nelson](https://www.edgepedia.org/jesy-nelson) each auditioned as soloists for the 2011 series of [The X Factor](https://www.edgepedia.org/the-x-factor). After being rejected as soloists, the four were combined into a group on 19 August 2011, initially under the name Rhythmix; the name changed to Little Mix on 28 October 2011.<sup>[1](https://history.little-mix.com/)</sup> They won the final on 11 December 2011, the first group ever to win the series, and released their winner's single "Cannonball", which reached Number 1 on the UK Official Singles Chart.<sup>[1](https://history.little-mix.com/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/7217/little-mix/)</sup>

## Studio albums

**DNA (2012).** The debut album arrived in November 2012 with expectations described by Official Charts as sky-high. Lead single "Wings" topped the singles chart, the group's second UK Number 1 after "Cannonball". DNA peaked at Number 3 on the albums chart and has accumulated 473,000 UK chart sales, making it their third-biggest album.<sup>[2](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/7217/little-mix/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[5](https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/little-mixs-official-biggest-albums-in-the-uk-ranked-and-revealed__31559/)</sup> "Wings" sold 106,766 copies in its first week and surpassed 350,000 UK domestic sales, according to [Official Charts Company](https://www.edgepedia.org/official-charts-company) data reported by Music Week.<sup>[8](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcv-assets/2818/5242_MW-141212.pdf)</sup> The album drew on Motown, R&B, electro, hip-hop, soul and pop, with collaborators including TMS and Iain James, who co-created "Wings".<sup>[9](https://s3-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/mcv-assets/2631/4916_MW21112.pdf)</sup>

**Salute (2013).** The second album, released in November 2013, moved into futuristic R&B. It peaked at Number 4 and has 429,000 UK chart sales. Lead single "Move" reached Number 3 on the singles chart.<sup>[5](https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/little-mixs-official-biggest-albums-in-the-uk-ranked-and-revealed__31559/)</sup>

**Get Weird (2015).** After scrapping an initial follow-up to Salute, the group released [Get Weird](https://www.edgepedia.org/get-weird) on 6 November 2015. Its lead single "Black Magic" became their third UK Number 1 and stayed at the top for three weeks. The album peaked at Number 2, has been certified 3x Platinum in the UK, and featured collaborations with [Jason Derulo](https://www.edgepedia.org/jason-derulo) on "Secret Love Song" and [Sean Paul](https://www.edgepedia.org/sean-paul) on a remix of "Hair". With 950,000 UK chart sales it is their second-biggest album.<sup>[10](https://www.hellorayo.co.uk/heat/entertainment/music/little-mix-albums)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[5](https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/little-mixs-official-biggest-albums-in-the-uk-ranked-and-revealed__31559/)</sup>

**Glory Days (2016).** The fourth album, released just over twelve months after Get Weird, became their first UK Number 1 album, selling 96,200 copies in its first week. "Shout Out To My Ex" gave them their fourth UK Number 1 single, spending three weeks at the top. Glory Days has spent 89 weeks in the [Top 40](https://www.edgepedia.org/top-40), the longest run of any of their albums, and leads their catalog with 1.2 million chart sales and 419,000 streams.<sup>[5](https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/little-mixs-official-biggest-albums-in-the-uk-ranked-and-revealed__31559/)</sup>

**LM5 (2018).** Named for being their fifth album, LM5 peaked at Number 3 and has 331,000 UK chart sales, making it their fifth-biggest and third most-streamed album in the UK with 149,000 combined streams. It was trailed by "Woman Like Me", written with [Jess Glynne](https://www.edgepedia.org/jess-glynne) and featuring [Nicki Minaj](https://www.edgepedia.org/nicki-minaj), which peaked at Number 2. LM5 was the final release issued under their original label Syco; the Guardian described the album as loaded with empowerment pop and breakup bops, while noting it owed much to Beyoncé's flirtation with hip-hop.<sup>[5](https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/little-mixs-official-biggest-albums-in-the-uk-ranked-and-revealed__31559/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[11](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/nov/18/little-mix-lm5-review)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[12](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/nov/15/little-mix-lm5-review)</sup>

**Confetti (2020).** The sixth album, released in November 2020, was the final album with the original line-up. It peaked at Number 2 after a release-week chart battle with [Kylie Minogue](https://www.edgepedia.org/kylie-minogue), and its singles included the disco-styled "Break Up Song" and "Sweet Melody", which reached Number 1 in January 2021. Confetti has 245,000 UK chart sales.<sup>[5](https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/little-mixs-official-biggest-albums-in-the-uk-ranked-and-revealed__31559/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/7217/little-mix/)</sup> The Guardian's Alexis Petridis called it a solid mainstream pop album, noting it was their first since leaving [Simon Cowell](https://www.edgepedia.org/simon-cowell)'s Syco label.<sup>[13](https://www.theguardian.com/music/2020/nov/05/little-mix-confetti-review)</sup>

## Between Us and other releases

Between Us, released in November 2021 for the group's tenth anniversary, is their first greatest-hits collection, adding new trio tracks such as "No" and the title track. It peaked at Number 3 and reached 172,000 UK chart sales within six months.<sup>[4](https://www.sonymusic.co.jp/artist/littlemix/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[5](https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/little-mixs-official-biggest-albums-in-the-uk-ranked-and-revealed__31559/)</sup> [MusicBrainz](https://www.edgepedia.org/musicbrainz) also lists EPs including Love Me Like You: The Collection (2015), the Bounce Back EP (2019), and 2020 releases Glory Days EP, Karaoke, and LM5 EP.<sup>[3](https://musicbrainz.org/artist/38f59974-2f4d-4bfa-b2e3-d2696de1b675)</sup>

## Later years and hiatus

Jesy Nelson left the group in 2020 for personal and mental health reasons, and the remaining three members continued as a trio through the Confetti era.<sup>[14](https://los40.com/2024/08/19/13-anos-de-little-mix-como-estan-perrie-jade-leigh-anne-y-jesy-en-2024/)</sup> Continuing as a three-piece, they achieved two firsts for a girl group: taking home the BRIT Award for Best Group, and spending 100 weeks inside the Top 10 of the Official Singles Chart.<sup>[2](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/7217/little-mix/)</sup> In 2021 the group announced that after the Confetti tour they would take a break, and they entered an extended hiatus in 2022, with the members going on to establish solo careers and start families.<sup>[15](https://press.warnerrecords.com/sites/g/files/g2000014901/files/2023-09/People%206.25.23.pdf)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[2](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/7217/little-mix/)</sup>

Their solo releases have all reached the same Official Albums Chart peak: JADE's THAT'S SHOWBIZ BABY! and Perrie's self-titled album both charted at Number 3, and Leigh-Anne's independently released [My Ego Told Me To](https://www.edgepedia.org/my-ego-told-me-to) debuted at Number 1 on the Official Independent Albums Chart.<sup>[16](https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/leigh-anne-my-ego-told-me-to-independent-albums-chart/)</sup>

A note on conflicting figures: the Official Charts artist page credits Little Mix with five UK Number 1 singles as a four-piece, while their RCA label page states four UK No.1 singles and more than 45 million records sold worldwide, four platinum albums, and nine platinum singles.<sup>[2](https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/7217/little-mix/)</sup><sup> • </sup><sup>[6](https://www.rcarecords.co.uk/artists/little-mix)</sup>
