Little Mix

Little Mix is a British four-piece girl group formed in 2011, consisting of members Perrie Edwards, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall. They were formed exclusively for the eighth series of The X Factor in 2011, and became the first group to win the competition. Following their victory, they signed with Simon Cowell's record label Syco Records and released a cover of Damien Rice's "Cannonball" as their winner's single.

Little Mix released their debut album DNA on November 19, 2012. It charted in the top 5 in eight countries, including number two in the UK, and at number four on the US Billboard Hot 100. This made Little Mix the first girl group since The Pussycat Dolls to reach the U.S. top 5 with their debut album, as well as earning the highest debut U.S. chart position by a British girl group, breaking the record previously held by the Spice Girls, whose 1996 debut Spice charted at number five. As of October 2013, Little Mix has sold over 2.5 million singles and over 2 million albums worldwide.

On September 23, 2013, a single called "Move" premiered; this acted as the lead single from Little Mix's second studio album and was released on iTunes on November 3rd. On 4 October, the group uploaded a video to their official YouTube page, announcing that their second album would be called Salute. The album was released on November 11, 2013 in the UK and will be released on 4 February 2014 in the US. Little Mix performed "Move" on the fifth series of the Australian version of the The X Factor. Following the performance, "Move" debuted on the ARIA Singles Chart at number 33 and eventually reached 26.

The band is set to release a cover version of Cameo's song Word Up! as the official single for Sport Relief 2014.
