And yet, despite it all, these women who were formed on a reality singing show hustled their way into becoming one of the biggest pop acts in UK history. There were a few hiccups - some underperforming singles, an era cut short because of a label switch, and uh, the departure of a certain member that sent things for a previously drama-free girl-group into an absolute tailspin. Little Mix defied the odds again and again and again. But a decade-long, incredibly successful run? The dizzying amount of massive hits, the platinum albums, and the first girl-group ever to win British Group at the BRITs? Maybe you saw it coming when they first won in 2011, but I think most of us didn't.
I mean, an X-Factor girl-group? Maybe one hit single, a gold-certified album, sure, probably.
It's truly astonishing at times to think of all that Little Mix has accomplished.
