Reasons why Fifth Harmony will be honoured as "Group of the Year" at Billboard Women in Music

• Their music is fierce and sassy, embracing their own sexuality and being confident in their-selves

Fifth Harmony  released their debut album Reflection worldwide in early 2015 and in the U.K. in the summer this year. Their album includes many female empowerment tracks such as BO$$, Worth It, Reflection and Suga Mama. Other inspiring tracks for all individuals includes This Is How We Roll and 'Brave Honest Beautiful'. Throughout all of their songs, Fifth Harmony encourages their harmonizers and all individuals to not shy away from who they are. The girls make the most out of their songs by making their tracks realistic and relatable. Relating to the double standards for women in the world, wanting or looking for love, hanging out with friends or standing up for yourself, all of these topics are thoroughly covered in their full-length debut album. Give it a listen if you haven't already and check out the music video of BO$$ to see their empowering minds at work.

• Fifth Harmony supports feminism and empower all youth and individuals to be themselves

 

When it comes to their fans the harmonizers, Fifth Harmony cares deeply about them and all their supporters. This can be demonstrated through their partnership with Do Something in 2014. In collaboration with the release of their single BO$$, Fifth Harmony and Do Something instilled confidence into individuals to give them the opportunity to own up to their unique qualities which make them who they are. They wanted individuals to share to the world what makes them confident and strong. Fifth Harmony's work to support their fans and individuals around them was continued this year when they were announced as ambassadors for the Cybersmile Foundation. By becoming a part of Cybersmile, they show their support of anti-cyberbullying initiatives and help victims who are facing bullying online.

Fifth harmony cares deeply about their fans and among some of the most kindest celebrities who continue to show love to their beloved fans.

 



• Fifth Harmony were the first girl group to reach the Top 15 in the Billboard Hot 100 with their song Worth It since the Pussycat Dolls in 2009 (with their single Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny))

Fifth Harmony continued to grow increasingly popular in early 2015, but it wasn't until the official release of their single Worth It in March 2015 is when they became international pop stars. Fifth Harmony began to chart in international charts they have never reached before and all harmonizers were amazed at the girls' success. By June 2015, Worth It has surpassed their previous singles' peaks on the Billboard Hot 100 and accumulated to the Top 15 at #12! As said above, a girl group hasn't reached the top 15 since 2009! This was a breakthrough for this generation of girl groups. This keeps us wondering, will popular girl groups like 5H and Little Mix continue to further the success of girl groups in this new generation of girl groups?

• Fifth Harmony have been certified one multi-platinum single and two platinum singles in one year

Fifth Harmony faces a rare occasion in the music industry where they received four certifications in just one year! Worth It, BO$$ and Sledgehammer were all certified platinum in June 2015. It only took two months for Worth It to accumulate another million copies sold to be certified multi-platinum! During that time in August 2015, they were only one of seven artists to be certified multi-platinum in America in 2015. Of course that will change as other artists' singles become popular as well and have the opportunity to achieve multi-platinum as well, but WOW! They will probably be the only girl group this year to achieve multi-platinum in America.

• They have a 4x Vevo Certification for over 400 million views of their music video for Worth It.

With their music video released at the end of March 2015, Fifth Harmony took the world by storm with their empowering music. With over 400 million views in just 7 and a half months, their music video became the most-watched music video from any girl group in the world! This beats out several K-Pop and J-Pop girl groups as well!

These are all my reasons on why Fifth Harmony are being honoured as "Group of the Year". If you have any other suggestions for reasons why they are being honoured, please let me know and I'll add it!

Worth It Update #9: July 17th to July 23rd, 2015

Hey Harmonizers! It's time for this week's Worth It update from July 17th to July 23rd, 2015. I'll be covering all of the 'chart changes' that have happened in the past week so I hope this'll help you keep up with the on-going success of the latest single!
(This Update will feature photos from Fifth Harmony's performance at Premios Juventud 2015. I do not own any of these photos and they can be found through Google/Bing Search.)

Fifth Harmony During Their Premios Juventud Performance of Worth It

American Charts (Billboard)
Here are the chart positions for Worth It on the American Billboard Charts:

Charts 'Worth It' has shown an increase in position 

Billboard Pop Songs: #7 to #5 (Re-Peak)

Billboard Digital Songs: #16 to #11

Billboard On-Demand Songs: #20 to #19

Billboard Twitter Top Tracks: #3 to #2

Billboard YouTube Music Charts: #12 to #10 (New Peak)

Charts 'Worth It' Hasn't Changed Positions

Billboard Hot 100: #14 (Three Weeks Straight)

Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay: #11 (Three Weeks Straight)

Billboard Radio Songs: #10

 

Charts 'Worth It' has shown a decrease in position

Billboard Streaming Songs: #14 to #15

Billboard Songs of the Summer Chart: #14 to #15

Billboard Rhythmic Songs: Dropped Below Top 20 (No Specific Details Yet)

 

The changes are pretty steady and there's the same amount of the change as last week. The single has been #14 for three straight weeks now on the Billboard Hot 100, holding its position for a while now. While staying strong, will the single still escalate a few spots or start dropping down once again?

 

For the other Billboard Charts, I don't think any of them will reach any new peaks soon. It'll be rather a rollercoaster of increases and decreases until new singles around the world and in the United States will take over the charts and send Worth It down. But will Fifth Harmony release a new single to keep their success going? Only time will tell.

Overall, not bad. It does make sense that Worth It may be seeing it's final glimpse of success before settling down the charts. The single soaring ever since end of March when they've released their music video for the single. After four consecutive months, the single is starting to lose steam and it may be time for the We'll see how the girls do next week on the charts!

Billboard (USA) Charts

Worth It, like I have said above, is a rollercoaster of success and downfalls at this point. While receiving some new peaks on some charts, the single is losing ground on other charts slowly. But the girls' latest single managed to sneak up the Billboard Hot 100 for this week, re-peaking at #14! That's pretty good and it just shows that Harmonizers haven't given up on sales and streaming yet. We'll see how the single does for next week's Hot 100 Chart. Below I have made a summary of all the changes on Billboard Charts that involves Worth It.

Charts 'Worth It' has shown an increase in position

International Charts

Internationally, the most notable changes I've noticed this week on the charts for Worth It are:

Billboard Canadian Hot 100: #14 to #16

Billboard Canadian Digital Songs: #12 to #14

Belgium (UltraTop Flanders): #21 to #14 (New Peak)

Several countries are taking great notice to Worth It and the single has debuted in five new international charts. Fifth Harmony is starting to take over the world with their latest single and they're becoming a huge hit! Hopefully this year and next year the girls will experience the same success they had with Worth It.

 

UK: #81 to #51 (New Peak)

Exclusively for the UK, I'm so proud of how the UK Harmonizers are doing. You guys are killing it! There had just been a midweek update released by the UK Official Singles Chart and showed that Fifth Harmony is hovering on #3 right now! WOW! It is hinted that Fifth Harmony could go Top 5 in the UK next week and I'm so pumped to see how the results will turn out. It does make sense, since Worth It has been killing iTunes in the UK holding onto #2 and #3 positions. Worth It has done significantly better than many other Fifth Harmony singles there are, so it makes sense that Worth It will surpass BO$$'s peak of 21 in the UK. We'll wait and see!

 

 

Also happening internationally, Worth It has recently been certified gold by Music Canada for selling over 40,000 copies of the single! Well done ladies! That is their first single certification outside of America! I think there are more certifications to come in the future internationally due to the tremendous success Worth It has, so get ready!
