Little Mix announce new Greatest Hits album Between Us

Sam  Prance

By Sam Prance

'Wings'? 'Move'? 'Black Magic'? 'Shout Out to My Ex'? 'Confetti'? Only one song can be number one.

10 years ago, four strangers, Jade Thirlwall, Jesy Nelson, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Perrie Edwards, were asked to form a girl group and the rest is history. It's impossible to imagine British pop over the past decade without Little Mix. From 'Wings' to 'Black Magic' and 'Shout Out to My Ex' to 'Sweet Melody', the girls have dominated the charts with hit after hit after hit.

In fact, Little Mix are so successful that they've just released their very first Greatest Hits album called Between Us and it contains five brand new bops, alongside all of the Little Mix classics we know and love. Jade, Leigh-Anne and Perrie are keeping us fed. You can purchase it and find out more about it here.

How do all of Little Mix's songs hold up, though? And how would we rank them from weakest to strongest? Of course, this is Little Mix so NONE of their songs are bad, but we have carefully worked through their discography and put together an official ranking of all 108 of their tracks to date.

108) 'Canonball', Cannonball

The girls did a great job with it but whoever made Little Mix release this as their X Factor winner's single should be charged with crimes against pop music.

107) 'Dreamin' Together', Hanadokei

In 2015, Little Mix released a cute collab with J-pop band Flower. It's lovely but it's not really a Little Mix song.

106) 'We Are Who We Are', DNA

A sweet, uplifting anthem but it doesn't compare to the rest of the girls' discography.

105) 'Oops (feat. Charlie Puth)', Glory Days

Little Mix sell the hell out of this album track but Charlie Puth can write better bops than this.

104) 'Une autre personne', A L'infini

Only the diehard mixers will know about this 2013 feature with French singer TAL. It's hardly an essential part of Little Mix's discography but the way Leigh-Anne proclaims 'T-A-L, Little Mix on the beat' is iconic.

103) 'The National Manthem, LM5

Great intro. Beautiful intro.

102) 'Beep Beep', Glory Days

Is 'Beep Beep' one of Little Mix's best songs? No. Is it really fun to listen to? Yes.

101) 'Freak', Glory Days

'Freak' has some really great elements.

Flower - Dreamin' Together ft. Little Mix

100) 'See Me Now', Salute

The fact that this is the weakest song on Salute is a testament to how good Salute is.

99) 'Make You Believe', DNA

The harmonies in the middle eight WILL make you believe in love again.

98) 'I Won't', Get Weird

A peppy little number.

97) 'Stand Down', Salute

The scatting on this is the best use of scatting by a girl group since Destiny's Child released 'Bootylicious'.

96) 'Down & Dirty', Glory Days

Getting a 'We international divas / But I started out making your pizzas' tattoo.

95) 'Clued Up', Get Weird

A very pure ode to their younger selves co-written with J-J-J-Jessie J.

94) 'F.U.', Glory Days

Petition to update the alphabet order to 'A.B.C.D.E.F.U.' in honour of this song.

93) 'One I've Been Missing', One I've Been Missing

Christmas singles need time to establish themselves as festive classics but this has all of the makings of one.

92) 'Pretend It's OK', DNA

A little by the numbers as far as Little Mix ballads go but it will ruin you if you are pretending it's ok when listening to it.

91) 'Gloves Up', Confetti

Some amazing Sia-esque vocals from Perrie on this one.

90) 'Turn Your Face', DNA

The way that Jade's voice sounds like it's about to break in the first chorus. That's talent.

89) 'The Beginning', Get Weird

Little Mix sing 'I know we've come so far but it's just the beginning' on this and they didn't lie. Prophetesses of pop.

88) 'OMG', Get Weird

A song about being so hot that people constantly fall in love with you. What's not to love?

There's no denying how much this slaps.

A touching piano-led ode to Little Mix's friendship.

85) 'Lightning', Get Weird

Yes, that is Little Mix singing in Latin in the middle eight. When will your faves?

84) 'Always Be Together', DNA

Little Mix used to dedicate this song to each other every night on the DNA tour. No. I'm not crying. You are.

83) 'Word Up!', Word Up!

An excellent cover. Negative points though because it robbed us of a fourth Salute single.

82) 'They Just Don't Know You', Salute

Little Mix's ultimate us-against-the-world anthem for anyone who's been in a relationship their family doesn't approve of.

81) 'Going Nowhere', DNA

Contains one of Leigh-Anne's standout rap verses.

80) 'Case Closed', DNA

An entire courtroom drama in a song and it's just as gripping as any episode of How to Get Away with Murder.

Perrie's voice in the bridge and the final chorus is out of this world.

Chaotic excellence.

77) 'You Gotta Not', Glory Days

T-Boz on the first album?!! Legendary behaviour.

74) 'The End', Get Weird

Acapella greatness by some of the world's best vocalists.

Any song inspired by Beyoncé's 'End of Time' deserves praise and 'Stereo Soldier' never gets old.

72) 'Breathe', Confetti

A gorgeous, understated, R&B-influenced album closer.

71) 'Towers', Salute

Another impeccably crafted ballad from our girls. Perfect to wallow in your feelings to post-breakup.

Another impeccably crafted bop from our girls. Perfect to remind you of your worth post-breakup.

69) 'These Four Walls', Salute

Few artists can convey the emotion a ballad requires as well as Little Mix and 'These Four Walls' is proof of that.

68) 'I Love You', Get Weird

Mid-tempo magic for anyone still in love with their ex.

67) 'Only You', LM5

Little Mix's first DJ feature proves that every DJ should be clamouring to get Little Mix singing on their tracks.

66) 'Not a Pop Song', Confetti

Simon Cowell found rotting.

65) 'Nothing But My Feelings', Confetti

The sweetest song about casual hook-ups you'll ever hear.

A classic Leigh-Anne bridge.

63) 'If You Want My Love', Confetti

The best *NSYNC song that *NSYNC never released.

This deserves to be played on every future season of Love Island.

Little Mix work with Timbaland more challenge.

A classic old-school jam about being head-over-heels in love.

Turning the 'Thong Song' into a female empowerment anthem? A little bit iconic, luv.

58) 'Dear Lover', Glory Days

All of the Glory Days: Platinum Edition tracks are great and this song is no exception.

57) 'Weird People', Get Weird

Prince-inspired brilliance. It's physically impossible to listen to this song without smiling.

56) 'A.D.I.D.A.S', Get Weird

3 minutes and 22 seconds of glorious filth.

55) 'Your Love', Glory Days

A gorgeous, wee love song and Leigh-Anne's middle eight is nothing short of transcendent.

54) 'Competition', Salute

Of course, Little Mix support men's rights...men's rights to shut the fuck up.

53) 'If I Get My Way', Glory Days

RAYE knows how to write a song and this Little Mix bop she co-wrote is up there with some of her best work.

52) 'Joan of Arc', LM5

Forever thinking about Leigh-Anne's 'drop it so low that your thighs get sore' delivery in the bridge.

51) 'Good Enough', Salute

Perrie belting the 'release your curse' part of this on the Salute tour. Chills every time.

50) 'Kiss My (Uh Oh) (feat. Anne-Marie)', Therapy

A perfectly crafted pop song and the Lumidee sample is *chef's kiss*.

49) 'American Boy', LM5

The tempo speeding up and Jade sounding genuinely paranoid during her second verse? Inject it.

48) 'Change Your Life', DNA

They don't make inspirational ballads like this anymore.

47) 'Notice', LM5

The sexiest song about calling out a partner for not appreciating how sexy you are.

46) 'Private Show', Glory Days

This sounds like something Christina Millian would have recorded for her debut album. It goes off.

45) 'Rendezvous', Confetti

Sampling 'Sway' for a seductive sex-positive banger? We have no choice but to stan.

44) 'The Cure', LM5

Little Mix sing every lyric of this song with such sincerity. One of the most moving moments on the LM5 tour.

43) 'Woman Like Me (feat. Nicki Minaj)', LM5

The BRITs performance of 'Woman Like Me' is one of the best BRITs performances ever.

42) 'Strip (feat. Sharaya J)', LM5

One of Little Mix's most experimental and empowering songs to date.

41) 'Trash', Between Us

I love the way Perrie, Leigh-Anne and Jade all sing the bridge on this one.

Little Mix cook up their Greatest Hits album Between Us

40) 'Reggaéton Lento (Remix) (feat. CNCO)', Glory Days

This song was already a hit on its own but Little Mix took it to the next level.

39) 'Motivate', LM5

Another win for Filth Mix. May we all find someone who never lets us down when they go lower.

Impeccable. Do not listen to this song while emotionally fragile though.

37) 'Little Me', Salute

A beautiful ballad Little Mix wrote to their younger selves and it only gets better with age.

36) 'A Mess (Happy 4 U)', Confetti

Jade's head voice and that stunning chorus make this one of the highlights of Confetti.

35) 'Think About Us (feat. Ty Dolla $ign)', LM5

I think about Leigh-Anne's 'Do you think about me baby?' ad-libs in the final chorus at least once a day.

34) 'Nothing Else Matters', Glory Days

A euphoric end-of-movie moment. The perfect album-closer to the standard edition of Glory Days.

33) 'About the Boy', Salute

Perrie's 'Baby pleeaaaaase' high note. The exhale. The laugh. There's something about, something about this song.

32) 'Woman's World', LM5

Feminist storytelling with Christina Aguilera worthy vocals? Jade's foot was in her bag when she co-wrote this one.

31) 'Hair (feat. Sean Paul)', Get Weird

Every live performance of this song is life-affirming.

Little Mix - Hair (Official Video) ft. Sean Paul

This collab captures the spirit of what made David Guetta classics like 'Without You' and 'When Love Takes Over' so great.

29) 'How Ya Doin? (feat. Missy Elliot)', DNA

A throwback hit that never fails to gobsmack people when Little Mix perform it live on demand, harmonies and all.

28) 'Bounce Back', Bounce Back

Too cool for its own good? 'Bounce Back' stans, I see you and I stand with you.

27) 'Cut You Off', Between Us

Grammy Award for whoever came up with the scissor sounds in this mega banger.

26) 'Monster In Me', LM5

In a just world, this would have been a single. One of Little Mix's best ballads.

25) 'Love (Sweet Love)', Between Us

The most underrated single in their discography. A masturbation anthem for the ages.

24) 'Happiness', Confetti

Little Mix sound sublime over garage production. The 'No Tears Left to Cry' of their discography.

23) 'Is Your Love Enough?', Glory Days

Another song that was begging to be a single. The 'one kiss you're falling in love, two much is never too much, three nights in a row I don't stop' countdown is pop at its finest.

22) 'Holiday', Confetti

A song that effortlessly captures how dreamy true love and lust can be. Jade's chorus is pop perfection.

21) 'Wings', DNA

The one that really started it all. Vocal-led, uplifting and full of personality? This is how you do a debut single.

20) 'Confetti (feat. Saweetie)', Confetti

Every aspect of this is boppulent and the Saweetie guest verse is her best guest verse to date.

19) 'Love Me Like You', Get Weird

The 'L-O-V-E love the way you give it to me' breakdown. Ah, that's history.

18) 'Nothing Feels Like You', Salute

Joy in song form. The fourth Salute single that never was.

17) 'Salute', Salute

This banger is bonkers and no Little Mix setlist is complete without it.

A true dancing with tears in your eyes moment.

#JusticeForWasabi

13) 'No', Between Us

Try listening to this without getting the chorus stuck in your head, I dare you!

12) 'Secret Love Song (feat. Jason Derulo)', Get Weird

One of the best ballads of the 2010s.

11) 'Secret Love Song, Pt. II', Get Weird

The added emotion on 'Pt. II' makes it a highlight of every Little Mix live show.

10) 'Power (feat. Stormzy)', Glory Days

Motorbike, motorbike, motorbike, motorbike. Bike, bike, bike, bike. Bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, bike, whoop.

9) 'DNA', DNA

Perrie's low vocals! Jade's pre-chorus! Leigh-Anne's middle eight! The operatic breakdown!

8) 'Black Magic', Get Weird

Another instant classic. Graduations! Weddings! Funerals! 'Black Magic' has been played at them all.

7) 'Shout Out to My Ex', Glory Days

Their biggest song to date and the perfect kiss-off to any ex. A triumph in every sense of the word.

6) 'Forget You Not', LM5

Little Mix have the talent to elevate good songs into greatness but this hidden gem is just as brilliant as they are.

5) 'Break Up Song', Confetti

Jade's bridge into Leigh-Anne's ad-lib was the best musical moment of 2020.

4) 'Between Us', Between Us

Impossible to listen to this without tearing up. A stunning ode to their friendship and the lyrical references are perfect.

3) 'Touch', Glory Days

One of the best melodies ever written and the floorography in the video is what pop dreams are made of.

2) 'Move', Salute

The perfect blend of cool American R&B and quirky British pop. Sounds just as fresh today as it did when it came out.

1) 'Sweet Melody', Confetti

Jade's hypnotic opening. The incredible way Perrie sings 'he would lie, he would cheat over syncopated beats'. Leigh-Anne's show-stopping bridge. 'Sweet Melody' has all the hallmarks of a great Little Mix song: experimental production, undeniable hooks, emotion, storytelling, drama. Most importantly though, it's fun and, just like Little Mix, it brings nothing but joy to anyone who listens to it.

Happy 10 Years Little Mix!
