Little Mix is a British girl group formed on the eighth series of The X Factor, where they made history as the first and only girl group to win the original UK version. Originally comprised of Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, and Jesy Nelson (who left in 2020), the group is celebrated for their powerful harmonies and considered one of the most successful acts to emerge from the show. They achieved widespread fame with their debut single Wings and made history with hits like Black Magic, which became the first song by a girl group in years to remain at number one in the UK for multiple weeks. Throughout their career, Little Mix collected five UK number-one singles and spent over 100 weeks in the UK Singles Chart top ten, consistently breaking records for British girl groups both in the UK and internationally. Globally, Little Mix's music has resonated as girl power and LGBTQ+ anthems, with Pitchfork noting their appeal in regions such as South Korea. Their songs have been streamed over 15 billion times, making them one of the most streamed girl groups ever, and their tours have sold over 3 million tickets across more than 20 countries. Renowned for their influence and success, Little Mix has received numerous accolades, including three Brit Awards, seven MTV Europe Music Awards, and several Guinness World Records. With an estimated 75 million records sold worldwide, they are among the best-selling girl groups of all time. The group announced a hiatus in 2022 to allow members to pursue solo projects, solidifying their legacy as one of Britain's most iconic pop acts.
