I wasn't aware singing along to someone you don't actually know makes them successful

They are doing much better than Fifth Harmony at the moment.

In some parts of the world, yes. In other parts of the world, such as the US - the biggest music market in the entire world except for maybe Japan - no. You can't just use the UK and Oceania to justify GRL being bigger WORLDWIDE when you're just going to ignore the US.

No one is dismissing anything. The fact is Miss Movin' On has sold more than Ugly Heart.

people acting like getting a top 10 hit in Australia, Ireland & a top 15 hit in the UK being basically unknown is an easy thing to do.

It actually is an easy thing to do with the right kind of promotion.

No, GRL did a radio tour in the UK - that's promotion. They were also playlisted by Capital FM so of course it was going to go top ten.

5H hasn't promoted anywhere else apart from the US but has still sold more than anything Ugly Heart has sold worldwide

Lol oh okay

I guess 5H performed BO$$ all around the world since they performed it at the VMA pre show which was also airing around the world!

GRL debuted a few months ago and they already sold over half of what 5H sold!

LOL @ people pretending 5th Harmony is successful. But G.R.L definitely has better music, but only time can tell which if either will break out real big.

What? You are aware the majority of people don't even watch the VMA pre-show

ymcmb

why are we acting like either are successful?

no shade but like neither have had a hit or proved to have had any staying power yet. y'all do too much.

Mess, why are people even TRYING to compare Ugly Heart and Miss Movin' On?
The latter was released an entire year before UH. Like... cool cling-on excuse as if it's a good one?

care to explain?

a radio tour is not promotion, they were playlisted because Ugly Heart is an amazing pop song, and Ugly Heart was smashing in Australia even before they performed.

"You don't actually know" as if people know Fiffth Harmony now? cut the crap

G.R.L are more successful in Australia, UK, Ireland, New Zealand, etc so yes THEY are more successful around the world while 5H is more successful in the US and even that is probably not gonna last long.

I could easily say they already have a Top 40/30 hit (WWL) but I'm gonna wait for their another US hit so y'all can have no excuse

And the reason 5H is more successful in the US is because of the promo they've been doing for 2 years! see how easy it is to say this excuse

collin

Fifth Harmony is BARELY even successful in the US and they got lucky with their #43 peak for BO$$ which is now free falling

Ethereal

5H are also under Epic Records so the fact they've outsold GRL in the US is just

Grl seems better music wise imo, boss is...

You're clearly not reading what I'm saying. I'm not trying to argue 5H is some big, well-known artist. I'm arguing that they're more successful than GRL. Sure, most people don't know about 5H, but most people don't know about GRL either, so the point that YOU tried to bring up in the first place is moot

Well first of all, 5H's music has yet to actually be released in the UK yet, so we can't actually say that GRL is bigger there. And yes, 5H is more successful in the US.... which is bigger than Australia, Ireland and New Zealand COMBINED. Therefore, 5H is bigger. There's no getting around that.

Have I ever even used the promotion excuse? Looks like you're getting your responses a bit mixed up, sis

What? BO$$'s chart run on iTunes has been amazing, top100 since day 1 without radio support.
2 months in top100 without radio support, that's impressive, educate yourself.

I never brought up how well known they are, you did. I just said people were singing along to WWL while purchasing it on iTunes which made it go Top 30 on Billboard.

You brought up the "known" excuse just to make their achievement less impressive

go ahead and use the feature excuse though, it ain't gonna work.

Having hit singles in 2-4 major markets > having a Top 50 single and a Top 90 single in one major market.

I'm not getting my responses mixed up, the promo excuse was directed at you all

I would say Fifth Harmony are more successful but GRL is a far better group in terms of quality and talent. I honestly don't even see 5 Harmony happening their gonna have the same fate as Austin Mahone and flop lbr.

Arguing over which of these bands is bigger is like arguing over whether a Big Mac or a Whopper is healthier for you.
