The British vocal quartet known as Little Mix recently broke the Spice Girls chart record this week when their debut album, “DNA,” hit number 4 on the Billboard 200 chart. The debut album is the highest ever for a British female group’s first album, as it surpassed the number 6 arrival of “Spice” in 1997 from the Spice Girls. Overall, Little Mix has the highest start for any female group’s debut album since 2006, when Danity Kane’s self-titled set started at No. 1. “DNA” enters with 50,000 sold in the week ending June 2, according to Nielsen SoundScan.
Little Mix won the 2011 British version of “The X Factor,” the same show that brought us its SYCO/Columbia Records label-mates One Direction.
The female singing group is composed of Jesy Nelson, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinncok and Jade Thirlwall. They will make their U.S. television debut this Friday, June 7, on ABC’s “Good Morning America,” performing as part of the show’s annual Summer Concert Series. Three days later, the group will appear on ABC’s “Live With Kelly & Michael.”
The album,”DNA,” was led by the single “Wings,” which reached No. 26 on the Pop Songs airplay chart (known as Mainstream Top 40 on Billboard.biz).
