LM are sitting like queens at #1 in their country, debuting top 6 in US with their albums (just like FH) but FH just can't crossover being basically 1 hit wonders in their own country.

This is a lie. Bo$$ and Sledgehammer may not have peaked as high but they're both very close to selling 600k digital copies. Obviously with bigger radio support these two songs would have been massive.

How is it even the case when like 95% of LM's sales are from the UK?

[Popboi.]

WaiT at some of y'all calling FH global and LM local. LM are bigger in Oceania, Asia, Europe, South America and are pretty equal in US with the albums vs singles debate. WHERE are they "much bigger" to be called global? Having a cute top 20/30 hit WW doesn't make them global (for example being top 10 in UK but not even going Silver, the album sold 7k and left the top 100 etc.)

Not to mention the fact that both BO$$ and Sledgehammer have incredible Spotify stream totals. But like I said in my previous post, some people would prefer to pretend that streaming doesn't exist so they can pretend that it's still 2013 and attempt to validate their biased and outdated receipts

600k in US is a hit there for FH? They didn't get radio support for a reason.

DNA sold more copies than Reflection and BT combined, Reflection has some quick little singles but singles > albums? Then you have Salute and The Salute Tour that wrecks FH's attempt of touring.

Lol. FH couldn't even win The X Factor US.



So tragic success that has to resort to looks, disgusting.



Of course, with an inflated 80 Billboard score anyone would be that high in metacritic. Maybe someone will read those reviews and buy Reflection.

1. 3 million records with 8 singles and 2 albums is nothing impressive.
And mainly not when 95% of it is coming from the UK

2. What does winning X Factor have to do with it? 5H's voices are way more distinct and interesting, their Impossible cover alone >>>>; and the world clearly agrees since they are global. They can even get a top 10 in LM's country, the other way around on the other side...

3. Is it my fault if 5H are hot and that it makes them superior in one other field? No.

4. It actually got 3 80 scores, 70 being the worst they got.

1. 3 million records with "95%" of the sales coming from the UK would be impressive, FH can't even scrap 150k with a "hit", a "single that didn't underperform" and a "successful album" :lmfao:
2. "Interesting voices" "Distinct" lol k, if you say so...
3. It's not my fault 5H can't sell stuff over $1.29 (even their tour tickets must have that price judging their gross, ouch. So talented people want to see them peform their "hits".
4. 6 reviews in metacritic though, not even metacritic counts albums with that little amount of reviews. If FH and LM had more their scores would be much different, for better or worse.

MTE. This 'because of streams' excuse that their fans have concocted as a reason for WI's success is embarrassing, it's not like Little Mix weren't asking their fans to stream a few days ago

Plus, comparing album sales from 2 years ago to an album that was released five months ago is yet another reason why I can't take some posters seriously.

But when 99% of it comes from the US, that makes someone "global" then?

1. Not when your a local act that releases 8 singles and 2 albums in your home country
2. Camila's voice alone is more distinct than any of the LM's members (I only know the name of Zayn's girlfriend), the fact Normani can whistle, Dinah & Lauren's powerful and strong voices... LM are so bland, that's pretty terrific
3. They'll probably do better with their next album, Worth It made them global, I don't think it will ever happen to Little Mix (the band only known in their home country)
4. Why would other reviews make things different? The fact is they had around the same number of reviews and Fifth Harmony wins by about 15 points...

Ok

Worth It is successful in several countries though. They even managed to crack France which is one of the hardest markets to crack for international artists.

On a planet called "Earth" but considering your sig, you must not know a lot.

So 300k outside their home country, Wings did 210k in Australia alone and 600k+ in US (aka not their home country) and LM are the local ones?

They are more global yet Worth It outpeaked Black Magic all over the world but UK & Australia. And Worth It is bigger than BM in AUS.
South America? Lol Fifth Harmony is bigger for sure.
Having a top 20 hit is better than have any. Lol

OMG. Just heard this. SLAY.. But who sings here 00:50 - 00:57 and 01:48 - 02:16? Sounds like a squirrel

1. Huge acts barely scrap 10m records in Uk in their entire career, 8 singles and 2 albums doing 3m their is big.

2. Lol.
3. Or they might fade lololol.
4. They would be different.
