Armed with airtight harmonies, radio ready numbers and refined edginess is the unstoppable Little Mix, undoubtedly one of the strongest Brit-Pop exports to touch down on the charts within the last decade.
Free of the scandals and break-up related hoopla that often plague girl groups, the quartet’s music and the august voices it is carried by lies at the heart of their brand.
Why any of this is important today?
Well, all of the above is to thank for the monumental moves the girls are making on a touring front.

Queen Bey is slaying.
wow Bey pulling Nearly 6 mill per show wow, too bad she’s only doing 50 dates, wish she extends it to 100 dates with Asia, South Africa and Australia dates ,she could have the highest grossing single tour by a female of all time…. Now this is called wining
Wow, that’s impressive. That is higher than The Pink Print Tour’s average per show, interesting.
I’m sure that’s no surprise for nicki herself. *sips slowly*
@Loose Bottom
Funny how you shad Nikki, Yet you don’t even acknowledge Rihanna’s numbers,.. How is her getting dragged by Maroon 5, Justin Bieber, And Ricky Martin of all people lol!
This was just to show that Beyoncé is number one lol
Yep… Those Rihanna stans who was talking s*** and posting pictures last week are QUIET now! It’s all fun and games until those numbers come out… How in the world is Ricky Martin’s your doing better than Ms. 13 #1’s
And by far better than ms 18 #1’s
So I am not the only one shocked by Ricky Martin’s numbers
Lmao, selling more than Mariah XD
I didn’t expected this from little mix.. They are more selling tickets than fiftharmony for sure…
sad part is fifth harmonys had so much more exposure too smh
I agree with you. I went to their show in March the vocals was on point and gave a brilliant show one of my best concerts. A week later I went to see Mariah, before they released the set list the promo ads said she performing all her No1 so I was expecting the Vegas show. She sang 3 songs live and I paid $500. So so vocals and NO BALLARDS all I wanted to hear was Love Takes Time
IN AMERICA THAT IS
…HOW?!
Unlike a certain bunch of low iq pressed thief loving stans I CAN GIVE CREDIT where credit is due.. Honestly have no clue how they pulled it off but they did so congrats.
Not a hasbeen latin gay pop star grossing more per show than a certain popstar with 13 number ones
only 13? sounds like this this “popstar” needs to step it up and get 14 like a certain someone..and i’m most definitely not talking about beyonce but you knew that 😀
Look where those 14#1’s got her though opposed to the one who has only 5 solo #1’s.#1’s don’t make or break a career unless you only depend on singles.
Your girl is struggling to half fill HALF those stadiums in Europe to the point where even the press is dragging her. What the point of having 14, 15 or a million numbers one if no one shows up to hear them live?????????????
Death!!! at you clinging on to twitter pics of a stadium that opened up THIRTY MINUETS before the show actually started. The tours doing just fine.. btw stop switching user names lol 🙂
hi rihnavy
Look at it this way she selling more tickets than your mama p**** on the Vegas Strip too early to come for someone who has more money than you stop counting other people money that is not yours maggot bad minded heifer
Save your talking for someone who could actually give a f*** stank breath ho3 ill speak my mind whenever i please you can either stfu and deal or stfu and deal. have at it b****!
Did you guys hear that rihanna’s hampden show only pulled 1/3 of stadium capacity?
At least she came perform for whomever was there the country is going through a lot right now I’m sure if other people don’t sell out its hidden with PR and did you know she tie elvis presly so nobody bloodclot winning at everything not even Beyonce Taylor ain’t selling cover magazine Katy ain’t selling albums bey ivy park clothing ain’t selling out the rass clat list goes on and on my point is no one is dominating everything
Stop making excuses and accept your fave is fading away. She actually deserves it after dissing Ciara. The moment Katy drops her album and passes rihanna’s #1 singles she’ll be completely OVER
That rihanna reign is finally letting up. Just Google and read for yourselves. She got negative reviews too.
“Negative reviews”?
.
Where exactly?
.
I live in the U.K and aside from her being late, her shows have gotten nothing but stellar reviews?
.
I suggest you provide evidence with the claims you’re making.
I looove LM. So happy to hear this
Congrats to them and everyone on this list.
.
Queen is #1 im happy
Beyoncé numbers speaks for themselves! Everybody else can be seated! (Death and Rihanna’s tour gross… I thought she was the Queen of her generation lol???
The purpose of this post is more crystal clear than caribbean sea.
Hahahahaha
No comment of Rihanna???? Interesting
Yep and Rihanna is sinking in the middle of it lol!
LMFAO
.
I am here for your drags lately, where you in TGJ in 2014?
No more crystal clear then your true identity as a racist.
And you shall seethe ?
Only two black artists are on this list? Black people, we’ve got to do better at supporting our own!
Congrats to them…they deserve it they worked hard to get where they are today and also very cohesive as a group…kudos
So Little Mix is most definitely slaying the hell out of Camilla and her dancers, I mean look at these receipts for a UK girl group.

Well I guess Camila and her dancers still have South America https://twitter.com/CCabelloNews/status/747309226498756608
I had never paid them attention until I heard ‘Secret Love Song’ (not sure how old that song is). Those girls can SING…LIVE…and dance. And they really look and act like a classy group. They could easily become the “Taylor Swift” of girl groups right now.
I think they can squeeze out two more albums before having to change their sound. I bought Salute and I thought it was just ok, but I get the appeal, they look and act like a group. Plus their image is very safe.
Harpo, who these people?
Don’t even try it sis
The fact that there are only two BLACK artists on this entire list, both of which are the second and third BLACK artists to headline Wembley Stadium this century after Tina Turner, is unfortunate yet amazing – it’s a paradox.
.
Did you know that only four Black acts have headlined Wembley Stadium in its history?
.
1) Michael Jackson – 1987/1988
.
2) Tina Turner – 1990/2000
.
3) Rihanna and Beyoncé – 2016.
.
By all means, the HIVE and NAVY can drag eachother all day afterwards but let’s take a minute to congratulate them BOTH on that historic achievement alone.
If those stadium pics i see of Anti world it’s called “empty” i don’t know but i think you need glasses.
Of course there is negative review and positive review actually there’s more positive review than negative.
We just can’t please everybody.
Beyoncé too have some negative reviews and there is nothing we can do about it. Beyoncé too have some empty seats.
The most important is to have more postive than negative.
Somebody please explain to me why Bey won’t extend the tour!!! This is the time to clock records made and held by legends, and literally a few shows will stop her from getting there if she doesn’t extend it. She seriously can’t come this close and be content with the tour gross. No way!
If those are Vegas numbers for MC then she’s doing really wall seeing she’s the only Vegas girl on the chart, and the same amounts of seats per show.
Every Rihanna tour the naysayers come out of their hole predicting doom and gloom. The when the tour finish and the real numbers comes out the go back in their hole until the the next tour.
You know what the say able doing the same thing over and let and expect different results.
You know it’s actually possible to say congrats without shading other artists.
I’ve been saying Little Mix slays 5Flops. They slay them in worldwide album sales, hits, and touring. They’re better singers, better dancers, and have better music. Little Mix is overall better than that other group.
But lets not sleep on Selena Gomez. Its funny how she “can’t sing” but is pulling in almost $600,000 a show. My favs are killing it.
RiRi and Bey are killing it too. How can yall call Anti Tour a flop when its doing almost $2 million a show?
Wow
