Since seeing them under the name Rhythmix, being put together as a brand new band on The X Factor, we have loved Little Mix.

The four girls quickly became friends, and worked perfectly together to create some amazing music.

We can think of LOADS of reasons why we love Little Mix. Here’s just six of them!

1. One of them is engaged to ZAYN MALIK, and another is dating a lad from RIXTON

Perrie Edwards is engaged to One Direction’s Zayn Malik, taking on one of the only five possible places as a One Direction girlfriend, a role which is wanted by several million girls across the globe.

Not only does that make her a very lucky girl, it also makes her very much envied.

Her co-star Jesy Nelson has also recently taken on a boyband romance of her own, hooking up with Rixton’s lead singer Jake Roche.

2. They’re X Factor’s only successful girl group

The X Factor has created a large number of stars since it began in 2004 – male singers such as Olly Murs, female stars like Leona Lewis and boybands JLS and One Direction have all been majorly successful.

Up until 2011, groups such as Belle Amie, Kandy Rain, Bad Lashes and the imaginatively named Girlband all were eliminated from the competition in the earlier live shows, and ended up destined to become unknown.

In fact, if it wasn’t for Wikipedia being the helpful soul it is, we wouldn’t have remembered any of them.

However, in 2011, Little Mix came along and defied early predictions of ‘oh, they’ll be out in week one like the rest of the girl groups’, to eventually win the show.

With the Spice Girls being one of the most successful acts of the 1990s, girl groups continued to be a big thing in the UK as we hit the 21st century.

Since then, Girls Aloud have split up quietly, and the Sugababes have had approximately 57 different members.

However, Little Mix swooped in to grab the girl group baton in 2011 and have since remained at the forefront of the UK girl group scene… if there is such a thing.

Remember back in the early 2000s when Missy Elliott was pretty popular and then, like a majority of stars from that time, stopped appearing in the charts?

Ever wished you could bring some of the singers back?

Simply because they were fans of her, the group dragged her into the studio to feature on their single How Ya Doin?

We’re expecting someone like Shaggy to be on their next album.

We were really happy when, earlier this year, Little Mix covered one of our favourite 80s songs.

Following One Direction’s 2012 Comic Relief cover of Blondie’s One Way Or Another, Little Mix took on Cameo’s amazing Word Up! for Sport Relief.

Although it only got to number six, it was still great to hear the song, albeit a cover, back on the radio for a while.

There’s no denying that Little Mix have released some pretty amazing tunes.

They’re now two albums into their career and have a variety of songs that display various sounds.

Listening to the epic, powerful Salute and then hearing the more laid-back Little Me shows you just what versatile artists they are.

Little Mix are AMAZING, and we’re sure they’ll reach new heights when their third album comes out soon.
