Fifth Harmony: 'Work From Home' Update #2

Work From Home debuted BIG last week on Billboard and in international charts. The girls did little promo for Work From Home in a week and a half and managed to debut at #12. They have literally done no 'intended' promotion for international countries, yet dedicated international harmonizers outside of America always pull through and made a splash in the music industries around the world to gain momentum in Fifth Harmony's new era. How did Work From Home do for the past week? Well.... Internationally the momentum is still there, but in America, it's been a rollercoaster. After a high debut on the Billboard Charts, the single began dropping down the American iTunes Chart and went as low as #14, barely selling around 20% of what the #1 iTunes single was selling. Now the song has begun rising once again, climbing to compete with new singles from Blake Shelton, Meghan Trainor, Ariana Grande and Zayn Malik (or ZAYN...) Read the entire post to understand how Fifth Harmony's been doing for the past week in terms of iTunes, Billboard and International charts!
(This Work From Home update will cover from Friday, March 11th to Thursday, March 17th, 2016)


Billboard (USA) Charts
As said above, it's a little mixed between new peaks and chart drops. Dropping from #12 to #16 on the Hot 100 is an indicator of less streaming and single purchases, but due to the rise on the iTunes chart, I believe they can still maintain their single in the Top 20 and hopefully stay in Top 15 for the next few weeks. It's honestly up to 5H and how they go about promoting the single. They've already visited several radio stations in the USA individually and started a twitter trend of #WorkAcrossAmerica while travelling across America together on a mission to gain more attention for their new single. How effective are their promoting strategies right now? Check the charts below to see how they did on the charts in the U.S.!

International Charts
Our ladies are just killin' it internationally! Work From Home easily proves 5H can live up to Worth It's success by managing to peak higher than Worth It on several international charts in a matter of 3 weeks! Worth It took several months to climb up charts like Canada and Australia while Work From Home only required around two weeks to achieve positions barely below Worth It's peaks. Worth It required more promotion in the UK in order to land #3, yet no promotion was given to Work From Home and it still peaks to #11 (apparently on a mid-week report, the single is well on it's way of entering the Top 5!). Check out all the impressive International debuts and increases, and gladly there was only one chart decrease in a minor chart in Canada.

iTunes Charts (As of March 17, 2016 3:00 P.M. Mountain Time)
The girls are slaying on some of the iTunes charts, but some iTunes charts are falling behind. Check out all the current positions according to the current time I've written this! And might I add, 5H are slaying in the UK and Australia! Bravo! No shade to Little Mix, but 5H is giving them a run for their money now that they are competing with LM in their own country. Hopefully, sooner or later, Little Mix will be able to top the charts on Billboard in America. Although many people have heard of them in the U.S., Little Mix just can't seem to break-through the wall in America's music industry and achieve high success on the charts. Don't know why, but I wish them all the best in the future!

Here are all the iTunes positions of Work From Home, according to the time stated above!
(Note: If a country is not stated below, it means Work From Home is not currently charting in that country due to a decline in sales in some countries such as Finland, Norway, Greece and Sweden)

Hoping they will do better than they did on Live! with Kelly & Michael.








Work From Home has achieved several views on YouTube and managed to accumulate to over 50 million views! With a steady climb and keeping up the daily streams, Work From Home will be Vevo certified in a matter of weeks! Cross our fingers for more views and also for better sales as they days go by! Thanks for reading and have a nice day you lovely harmonizer <3

Worth It Update #7

Hey Harmonizers! I'm back with this week's official Worth It Update for the week of July 11th. Fifth Harmony's latest single is currently experiencing many international success, although the single experiences a slight rollercoaster throughout the USA Billboard Charts. Let's get caught up, shall we?
(This post will feature throwbacks to Fifth Harmony's appearance at the Today Show to prepare for tomorrow's Live Mini-Concert!)
(*Note*: For the most recent Worth It Post covering August 1st to August 6th, visit here: Worth It Update #11



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 
Billboard Hot 100: #15 to #14 (Re-Peak)
Billboard Pop Songs: #7 to #5 (New Peak)
Billboard Adult Top 40: #35 to #33 (New Peak)
Billboard Radio Songs: #15 to #11 (New Peak)
Billboard Rhythmic Songs: #22 to #20 (Re-Peak)


Charts 'Worth It' Hasn't Changed Positions
Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay: #11
Billboard Twitter Top Tracks: #6

Charts 'Worth It' has shown a decrease in position
Billboard Digital Songs: #12 to #16
Billboard Streaming Songs: #13 to #15
Billboard On-Demand Songs: #13 to #17
Billboard Songs of the Summer Chart: #14 to #15
Billboard YouTube Music Charts: #14 to #15


 

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)
Europe: #15 (Debut)
Switzerland: #27 to #22 (New Peak)

South Korea: #89 (Debut) to #53 (New Peak for this Week)
Brazil: #102 (Debut)
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!
 
 

iTunes Charts (As of July 9th, 2015 6:00 P.M. in Alberta, Canada)
Here's what I'm currently seeing on the iTunes chart in America and internationally.
iTunes Brazil/Brasil: #3
Tunes UK: #4

Little Mix: Black Magic Update #1

Hey everyone! I kinda got bored today and I thought that since I am a mixer as well, I can post some Little Mix things on here to satisfy all you mixers out there! I actually watched Little Mix back in 2011 on the X Factor and they had shown great potential on the show. And look where they are now! I'm not as obsessed with Little Mix as I am with Fifth Harmony, but I still keep tabs on Little Mix because these two girl groups are the two most successful at the moment (other than the K-Pop girl groups with like a billion views.....) So in this post, I'll be going over the history of the first single of the girl group's third album and how Black Magic has been doing!

In February 2015, Little Mix revealed that they have chosen the first single from their third album. They said that this whole album introduces a new sound the girls are exploring, and I can't wait. From the success of the first two albums, you can just imagine how Little Mix will come back strong into the music industry after spending months of working on the album. Many fans had already speculated through rumours that the single was called Black Magic and on May 14, 2015, Little Mix confirmed the song's name to be 'Black Magic'! The song was scheduled to be released on May 26th, but the single was leaked online on May 20th so they were forced to release the single earlier on May 21st. As nice as it was to hear the song early, I felt bad that the single got leaked and it was out of the girls' control.



On the very same day the single was 'released', it debuted across the country of the UK through radio airplays and under their record label Syco Music, the single was released in the United States as a single for digital download. The single was also released in Australia on May 22, 2015 for digital download as well. The single is set to be released July 10th in Ireland the UK for digital download, so you better be ready mixers! This single was honestly set as a song the girls' hoped would be their breakthrough in America. Simon Cowell also agreed that it may just be the song that the United States may love and can be turned into a hit. Simon Cowell complimented the song greatly and loves the single, much to Little Mix's surprise. Hopefully Simon can find a way to get Little Mix up there with Fifth Harmony in America, and same for Fifth Harmony in the UK. Sadly, for Little Mix, the song only reached somewhere in the 60s of the American iTunes charts and never debuted onto the Billboard Hot 100 just yet. I bet they'll have big plans to promote the single in the US and North America very soon. For other charts, the single has managed to peak up to #11 in Australia and #155 in France. The single has also peaked to #63 on the Belgium Ultratip Flanders Chart. The single has yet to gain much attention and only has around 10 million views on YouTube after the music video was released on May 29th. The single was performed for the first time live at this year's Capital Summertime Ball and they put on a great show to create much anticipation for the UK release of the single. Check out the performance below!



There isn't much to talk about for Black Magic yet, but I'm sure that Little Mix's management team will get things going. Sooner or later, Black Magic may be turned into Little Mix's most successful track! Let's hope for the best! Thanks for joining me today and I'll be posting about Black Magic weekly. Come back next week and enjoy their music video in the meantime!





Worth It Update #4

Worth It has proven me wrong! Its still got it going! After Worth It stayed in #18 last week, I predicted it would start dropping. But nope! Its still rising! In this post, I'll be talking about Worth It's success lately. Hope you enjoy!
(*Note*: For the most recent Worth It Post covering August 1st to August 6th, visit here: Worth It Update #11
June 18th, 2015)

Like I've just said, Worth It has climbed to a new spot in the Billboard Hot 100. The single has reached a new high of #15! Congratulations to Fifth Harmony on their first Top 15 hit. Think we can score Top 10, harmonizers? I think we can, because the harmonizers came through for their girls this past week by buying and gifting Worth It on iTunes to jump from #12 to #7 in matters of only a day or two! Crazy!!!! That goes to show how much Harmonizers will push through to give their girls the support they need!

On terms of other Billboard Charts, Worth It is still holding it's own! Worth It made its debut in the Billboard Adult Pop Songs Chart with #39. The single has reached a new high on the Billboard US Mainstream Top 40/Pop Songs Chart, managing to leap from #9 to this week's #8. The single also reached #20 for Billboard's Radio Songs Chart and #19 for Billboard's Streaming Songs chart. The song has remained steady on some charts, not changing its position on: Billboard's Songs of the Summer (#17), Billboard's Digital Songs (#11) and Billboard's Rhythmic Songs (#20). The song has also descended into lower positions on other charts like: Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay (#19 to #20) and Billboard's On Demand Songs (From #19 to #21). Worth It may not be as successful on charts this time around, but with Harmonizers' continuing to push for their girls, you never know!

For international charts, Fifth Harmony is rising! In Canada, the song went from #21 to #16! The song has now claimed a top 10 spot at #10 for Malaysia, and still holds impressive Top 10 Peaks in other countries: Lebanon (#1), Israel (#1), Greece's Digital Songs (#6) and Luxembourg Digital Songs (#10). Worth It has been in the Top 20 for these following countries (besides Canada): Philippines (#11), Thailand (#15), Germany (#16), Belgium (#17), Indonesia (#18), Slovakia (#19) and Singapore (#20). A notable change for another international chart is France, charging from #53 to #38. Fifth Harmony is killing it internationally! To all my UK Harmonizers, don't forget that Worth It will be released this Sunday, June 21, 2015! Pre-Order it Today!

Worth It will forever be known as Fifth Harmony's breakthrough in the music industry (song-wise). The single is one of their best ever chart-performers and surpasses their previous song's peak in the Hot 100 by 15 spots. There's no question that we will be seeing more from Fifth Harmony in the future! For now, YouTube views are accumulating 1 million per day and they have reached 50 Million so far! With 500K likes, how many views will this music video reach? Check out the music video below if you haven't already. Thanks for joining me today and talk to you later!

Little Mix and Fifth Harmony: Friendships/Fandom Feuds

Hey everyone! After a trip to the UK, Fifth Harmony are back to make several appearances around America before starting the Summer Reflection Tour (Which I'll be posting about this in July)! But, there's just one thing I forgot to mention during the girls' time at the UK..... They hung out with Little Mix! It's so cool seeing these two girl groups together, who have both faced huge amounts of success in their careers. The problem that is still occurring today is the fandom feud between mixers and harmonizers. I can promise you that on every Little Mix and Fifth Harmony video, you see something like "Little Mix is better" on a 5H Video or you see "Fifth Harmony is better" on a LM video. In this post, I'll be writing about both girl groups, the fandoms, the similarities and the differences. Hope you enjoy!
 
 So during early 2013, the two girl groups hadn't made direct contact and haven't met each other yet. The only time at all when they even gave a glimpse at each other was at the Kids Choice Awards. Lauren mentioned that the two girl groups happily waved at each other from a distance but that was about as close they were to meeting the UK girls.
But they did meet up for a quick photo with Little Mix and Demi Lovato at the Teen Choice Awards in late 2013:
 
It wasn't until the Demi Lovato's Neon Lights Tour that they became formerly introduced to each other as the opening acts for Demi Lovato. I can imagine the two girl groups hanging out in between sound checks, eating food and travelling towards new pit stops of the tour. Check out the two girl groups on Fuse, interviewing each other (and a picture to go along their time they had to hang out with each other)
Fifth Harmony Interviews Little Mix (Video)
Little Mix Interviews Fifth Harmony (Video)
Neon Lights Tour Photo (Hanging Out Together)
 
After I'm sure that the two girl groups, Demi Lovato and other opening acts had tons of time getting acquainted with one another, they're all friends. Little Mix had barely shown up to America ever since the Neon Lights Tour, as they released the single Salute and headlined their second tour The Salute Tour in support of their second album. Touring from mid-May to the end of July all around Europe, Little Mix had been putting on great shows and were headed to America after their European leg of the tour. But sadly, they never appeared in America for the second leg due to decisions to cancel the North America leg of the tour because they wanted to work on their third album. All is forgiven when they still made appearances in the U.S. and Canada to perform a couple songs, but never met up with 5H for the time being.
 
Before Fifth Harmony's UK Trip at the end of May, Little Mix and Fifth Harmony never saw each other for the four months in the beginning of 2015. They did talk about one another in interviews when they were asked a question about the opposing group. Here's an example of Little Mix talking about Fifth Harmony:



Words of wisdom from Jesy and Leigh-Anne. There's no comparison to make because both girl groups are completely different. Same with Normani Kordei Hamilton, who shot down  the rumoured rivalry between the two girl groups in Fifth Harmony's Sugarscape Interview. Click the link to see the interview.
 
As Normani said, "There is no competition... People try to make it out to be girls against girls but both of us (as groups) are all about girl power, empowering women to stick up for each other and support each other. That's what we do."
 
Harmonizers and Mixers have been going at it probably ever since Fifth Harmony was formed on the X Factor U.S. Season 2 in 2012 (There is actually no real evidence because anyone can say anything at any given time, really....). It's always 'Little Mix is Better!' or 'Fifth Harmony is Better!' and to all
my 'in-betweeners', I get how annoying it is that fandoms always compare. Fans go as far as being rude and cussing about the girl group they hate and influence other fans to do the same. It isn't right to be calling women 'names' (I don't want to use bad language....) and think it's alright. People use derogatory terms that they don't know what the definition is (the truth!). Feuds between fandoms eventually extend to other fandoms as well, and you may as well call it 'Modern Society's World War III'.........

Personally, I think this fandom feud is idiotic. It really has gone too far because people are really not smart enough to be more optimistic about things. If you don't like something, then don't care about it! Simple as that. Leave what you hate alone, and just surround yourself with things that you love. It's a waste of your time to focus on things that aren't important in your life, to be honest. Hear me out: If I'm a Harmonizer, why should I waste my time trying to convince a mixer that Little Mix sucks (which they don't!)? Same thing when I'm a mixer, it doesn't make sense to complain about Fifth Harmony to harmonizers.
 
Fifth Harmony and Little Mix are friends in real life. Why can't harmonizers and mixers be friends too? Both Girl Groups are unique in their own ways. They have different outfits, different voices and different managements. One thing they do have in common: empowering youth around the world. Smarten up all you haters and learn to love both groups!
 
Thanks so much for taking your time to read this super long post. I appreciate all your love and support. Here's a photo of 5H and LM to enjoy back in Fifth Harmony's trip to the UK early June this month! #BuyWorthItoniTunes #BuyBlackMagiconiTunes

Fifth Harmony's Trip in the UK

Our girls sure are getting a lot popular around the world! With their song Worth It blowing up in many parts of the world, the girls' planned to spread their talent with people in the UK! In this blog post, I'll be writing about the UK adventure the girl group had and what they did 1-2 weeks ago! Make sure to click the read more button if you want to continue!



UK: Fifth Harmony and One Direction

Hey everyone! In this post, I'll be talking about the friendship of Fifth Harmony and One Direction throughout the years, starting from X Factor. Hope you like my post :) (By the ways, all the photos you see below are not mine and I have borrowed them from other websites to contribute to this post. I own none of these photos)

Above: Louis meets the girls of Fifth Harmony on X Factor.

When on the X Factor back in 2012, Fifth Harmony had only been together for about 3-4 months when they were performing live to stay on the show. One Direction came in the Live Shows' Week 2 to perform in front of America on the American X Factor Stage. I'm sure all of the contestants got to meet, or fan-girl over, One Direction and I think that was the first time the girls had met 1D. 

Post X Factor, the girls had just been gaining steam back in 2013 and had small tours to perform in. Getting some much noted attention, Fifth Harmony appeared at the Teen Choice Awards back in 2013 to present the Acuvue Inspire Award to Nick Jonas. It seems that the girls got to meet new friends and catch up with old ones at the Awards show, including meeting up with One Direction and taking a photo together.


I'm not sure if there are any other moments throughout 2014 where they met up with the guys but I'll just skip to 2015 to give you all the juicy bits of their friendship.

So recently in May-June 2015, the girls had arrived in London, England to give some awesome performances in the UK. Starting with G-A-Y in London, then transitioning to Good Morning Britain and Britain's Got Talent and finally performing on the much anticipated Capital Summertime Ball in Wembley. More on the UK will be posted in my next post.

During the girl group's time in the UK and being present at the finale night of Britain's Got Talent, the girls met up with One Direction. The guys and gals seem to be dressed up quite nicely and with a photo like that (below), the night was long from over.


I believe everyone went to a nightclub to party the night away, and it's still sad that Dinah Jane is the only one that is barely legal :( Oh well, she's turning 18 really soon everyone! So back to the club, after a long night, photographers and reporters saw Louis Tomlinson with Fifth Harmony's Lauren Jauregui leaving the club together around 3 A.M. Riding in the same car, photos were still managed to be taken of the two and were published online for the whole world to see. Directioners and Harmonizers alike reacted in numerous ways, some excited and some were angry. Like really angry to the point where it's insane......

Receiving much heat from directioners and fan-girls across the globe, Lauren was victim to many critical tweets from fans. Being called names, I think it's crazy that names were being called just from a photo of these two stars in a car together. Words like 'You're a _____, You're ugly, you're fat....' were thrown at Lauren and its so ridiculous.To all you crazy fans, you got it all wrong... Lauren explains herself for why she was in the car with Louis. "My phone died and I had no way of getting home so Louis said, 'Jump in a car with me' ". Lauren says that she got to hang out with the One Direction singer and they got to know each other properly. It really was sweet on Louis' part to take Lauren home.

I don't understand why all these fans got it wrong between Louis and Lauren, but clearly there are some jealous people who would die to be with Louis I guess.... Lauren denied any dating rumors between Louis and herself, so I'm guessing this whole One Direction situation is done and over with now that the two singers are now separated from one another while they continue their careers. Do you think Lauren and Louis should date?

Worth It Update #3

Hey everyone! Thank you all so much for bearing with me! I'm allowed to have a break for final exams and today is just my 'relax' day after English Final Exams! Boy was that stressful......

Anyways, Worth It has been all over the place the past weeks I have left you guys and I must say that the song is still holding its ground. The girls have recently finished their mini UK trip and are back in America for some more spectacular appearances. Let's catch up on Worth It shall we?
(*Note*: For the most recent Worth It Post covering August 1st to August 6th, visit here: Worth It Update #11
June 11th, 2015)
 
The third single from Fifth Harmony's debut album Reflection is not going down without a fight. Still gaining approximately over a million views a day, the song has risen up to the challenge to surpass previous single Sledgehammer in the amount of YouTube views. The numbers keep getting bigger and they're currently over 42 million views for the Worth It music video!


For the music charts, I feel like the girl group has reached its limit on the Billboard Hot 100. Reaching #19 a few weeks back, maintaining the position of a second week and the week after, climbed to #17. The last two weeks, Fifth Harmony dropped down to #18 and remained in the position today. As much as I would love the single to rise more, I'm not sure if the single will climb any higher than the peak of 17. It was a good run though, they managed to climb the charts for 2-3 months straight without any set-backs! On other charts related to the American Billboard Charts, the single is still climbing! The girls recapture #1 for Billboard Top Twitter Tracks, they have set a new high of #19 on the Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay Chart and On-Demand Songs, peaking at #11 on the Digital Songs Chart, also peaking at #9 for Pop Songs/US Mainstream Top 40, reaching #22 on the Radio Songs Chart, claiming #20 for Rhythmic Songs and setting a peak on the newest chart, Billboard's Top Summer Songs, of #17. If all these new peaks on the charts aren't enough for you, I'm sure you guys all know that RIAA certified Worth It as a Platinum Record for selling over a million copies in the US!? Crazy right!?



Outside of the United States, Worth It is doing a decent job of getting popular internationally. The song has set a new high on the Canadian Hot 100 (#21), #20 in Belgium, #16 in Germany, #53 in France, #54 in Belgium and #63 in Sweden. After promoting Worth It in the UK, the song is set to debut in the UK on June 21 along with their debut album Reflection debuting 8 days after Worth it in the UK on June 29! Get ready UK Harmonizers and show us how dedicated you really are! If you haven't seen yet, here are some of there performances in the UK:

I think that's all I need to update for this Worth It update. If you want to enjoy more Fifth Harmony and their single Worth It, I'd suggest checking out their latest Worth It acoustic performance on the 4Music YouTube Channel. It's pretty awesome and their voices are so beautiful in this performance. Enjoy!

Fifth Harmony's Journey Through the UK Thus Far

Later this week, the pop-singing quintet is set to arrive in the UK! Counting down the days to their embark to Europe, the UK harmonizers will be re-acquainted with the American Girl Group once again.


Sorry, this picture is kinda cut out. Only pic I could use, but I'll find a better one :)


Their X Factor UK Appearance
The girls had made an earlier appearance in the UK, performing on the X Factor UK for the very first time. They performed their summer hit 'BO$$' and their performance on the long-running show gave them a boost in sales in the UK and saw their single soar through the charts. BO$$ ended up snatching #21 on the  UK's Official Chart, just out of reach of the Top 20! That's pretty impressive for their UK Debut! Their other single Sledgehammer, only managed to attain spot #112. A little disappointed of the huge margin between the two singles but hey, at least we know there's some dedicated harmonizers out there!
There X Factor UK Performance:


Knowing that there is still a lot of potential for Fifth Harmony in the UK, the girls will be making several appearances. The girl group is set to perform in London's G-A-Y at Heaven Nightclub. Performing all three singles from their debut album Reflection, it should be a great show like many fans have seen during their February-March Tour: The Reflection Tour. The girls pull of great vocals in some shows, here's to hoping they do great this coming Saturday, May 30th!

The Saturday after G-A-Y, the girls will be performing at Capital FM's Summertime Ball! Each year, starting from 2009, the Global Radio hosts the Ball and showcases a star-studded line up of successful musical acts! This year in 2015, the lineup at Wembley Stadium includes:
  • One Direction
  • Ariana Grande
  • Avicii
  • Kelly Clarkson
  • Rita Ora
  • Jess Glynne
  • Jason Derulo
  • Carly Rae Jepsen
  • Olly Murs
  • Pitbull
  • Meghan Trainor
  • Martin Garrix
  • Nathan Sykes
  • Ne-Yo
  • Flo Rida
  • LunchMoney Lewis
  • Rixton
  • Nick Jonas
  • UK's Girl Group Little Mix (Performing Black Magic for the first time!)
  • America's Girl Group Fifth Harmony!
Sometime I believe in June, Simon Cowell had said Fifth Harmony would make an appearance in Good Morning Britain? I looked around but sources are a little too vague for me to understand if its official or if it was just Simon Cowell at Good Morning Britain talking about Fifth Harmony. Either way, the girls are hopefully going to have an increase in sales in the UK once again after making some un-forgettable appearances.
To all the UK Harmonizers, a reminder to pre-order Fifth Harmony's Worth It featuring Kid Ink and the single will be released on June 21, 2015 in the UK! Here's to more success in the UK!
