They were often dubbed by some media as the "biggest girl group in the world", before going on an hiatus in 2022, allowing its members to pursue solo projects.Little Mix rose to prominence with their debut single "Wings" (2012), achieving five number-one singles, and nineteen top ten enteries on the UK Singles Chart. Launched into mainstream recognition after the release of "Black Magic", it became the first song by girl group since 2008 to spend multiple weeks at number one. In 2023, it also became the first music video by a British girl group to surpass one billion streams on YouTube and was ranked by Billboard as one of the "Greatest Girl Group Songs of All Time". The group have broke various records during their career, including becoming the first girl band to spend over a 100 weeks inside the top ten of the UK Singles Charts, the first to accumulate six top five entries on the UK Albums Chart, and holds the record for the highest chart entry for a debut album by a UK girl group on the US Billboard 200.
