Hey everyone! I've created this blog to share my love and passion for Fifth Harmony. I've been with them since X Factor and it's so beautiful seeing them transform as grown women slaying the music industry. Keep up with this blog for everyday-Fifth Harmony posts :D Please come back for more posts!
Fifth Harmony has decided to use all sorts of Social Media tactics as they continue to reveal more and more hints and clues as June 2nd is nearing.....
The newly created Instagram Account, which was tagged to the studio pictures on Instagram, named "5h3", accepted exactly 5,555 follower requests (and no, they didn't accept mine......), and then uploaded exactly 9 pictures in orderly fashion, purposely creating an even bigger picture using all 9 photos....
Apparently, it was also captioned with "#NoFilter". If you look at the centre square, something is definitely blurred and messed around with. Some clever Harmonizers, decided to play around by screen-shotting all 9 photos together and tried different filters. Once using the Black and White Filter, Harmonizers were able to uncover THIS!
DOWN
June Second!!!!!
And while Harmonizers began freaking out, a few hours later, our dancing queen Normani Kordei uploaded her own set of coordinates, similar to what Lauren did yesterday, except coordinates directing us to a different location.
Similar to Lauren's coordinates being in her hometown of Miami, Florida, Normani's coordinates were located in her hometown of Houston, Texas! Lots of harmonizers, including myself, had already speculated the girls would be doing the same as Lauren did, because of course Lauren wouldn't just be the only one to post....
Now, Harmonizers looked up these coordinates, and found the location to be a mall. What a coincidence this turns out to be regarding some familiar names....
"BOSS store"...? "Gucci"? Coincidence that Gucci Mane is the hip-hop artist we're all speculating to be featured on the single, as he was included in some "writing credits" along with some photos of him being registered as a performer also. Although, I just really hope he's not on the single.... I need a popular single from Fifth Harmony NOT to have a rap for once....
So, some harmonizers ran for their wigs allllll the way to the mall, and checked Snapchat like most did for Lauren's coordinates. And here's what they got!
Well, the Harmonizer went on Snapchat at the very location of the coordinates Lauren sent out, and check THIS out!
If you go to the coordinates in Lauren's Twitter picture and use Snapchat, a geo-filter with partial 5H lyrics appears! (via @myrefIections) pic.twitter.com/Haza2ivNja
Possibly confirming in 5 days a new song will be released, just in time for their appearance on GMA!? And the words that are slightly faded in the background..... Possible lyrics to their new single?
UPDATE: Closer look at the lyrics!
And this was in DOWNtown Miami...... Coincidence that "DOWN" is speculated to be the name of the new single? Our ladies of Fifth Harmony aren't giving us a break from last night, and I bet they'll continue to tease us as time goes by...
Will Dinah, Normani and Ally release coordinates corresponding to places in their hometowns as well? We'll have to wait and see!
Hey Harmonizers <3 Here with more info on the new lead single coming out VERY soon!
After so much excitement last night and harmonizers all over the world trending the hashtag #5H3IsComing, Fifth Harmony teases us once again to continue what they began last night......
Harmonizers should probably pay close attention to Snapchat this week, as it seems they have an announcement to make..... (But we all know what it's gonna be about haha....)
Also, notice how they said "It's going DOWN on Snapchat"? Ring any bells with all the recent revelations in the Fifth Harmony fandom lately? "Down" is exactly what all the harmonizers believe is the new lead single for 5H! Click here to look back at all the hints I've gathered pointing toward "Down" is the lead single!
If you missed what happened last night, click here as well, with some additional hints/clues about "Down"!
While we're at it and discussing "Down", I forgot to include that this was found earlier, recorded in the International Standard Recording Code database....
Apparently, looking at this song registration.... "Down" will supposedly have a feature and Fifth Harmony will be collaborating with Gucci Mane!
And, if you look him up, his real name is Radric Delantic Davis! What a coincidence that one of the composers' names on the APRA AMCOS song registration, is R. Davis. (Also note that all the other composers/writers of the song (excluding R. Davis) wrote "Work From Home"!)
Although, in this song registration, only Fifth Harmony are registered as performers.... So maybe Gucci was just a well-known artist who helped out, but the other registration says otherwise.... So I guess we'll see if he is indeed gonna be featured on the single.... I wouldn't be surprised since Fifth Harmony's most successful singles were collaborations with Rap & Hip Hop artists, maybe that's just the winning formula they wanna follow for the Lead Single. Guess we'll see later this week what this is all about!
Hey Harmonizers <3 Although it's really late at night for most of us, the girls of Fifth Harmony finally answered to all the begging and pleading of their fans, with a photo of what appears to be a music recording studio...
No words were added to the full-sided picture on Twitter, but they posted differently on Instagram. Dividing the picture into three parts, it may just seem like a cool way to display the recording studio on their Instagram page. But, on Instagram, each photo is tagged with a newly made account titled "5h3".
Clicking the tag redirects us to this account..... And LOOK HERE
Now, it may just seem like it's just an account made to confirm #5H3isComing.... But look at their DOWN-arrow emoji...... This just adds onto more confirmation about Fifth Harmony's Lead Single, which is speculated to be titled "Down". Check out my previous post (by clicking this), explaining all the clues that 5H's Lead Single is indeed "Down"!
And that's not all, earlier, one of the writers (@wordtoJude), who contributed to the Fifth Harmony smash hit "Work From Home", may have confirmed Fifth Harmony's new single as well!
Also on Instagram, all the girls of Fifth Harmony (Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Lauren Jauregui, Dinah Jane Hansen) all took to their Instagram Stories to post a silent video of a door opening to a lighted recording studio, with @fifthharmony tagged.
(Click on the tweet to see the full photos of the Instagram Stories!)
Many have concluded with analysis that the door slowly opening represents the doors opening to the new era known as #5H3.
With all this commotion, several harmonizers began trending the hashtag #5H3isComing on Twitter, and within around 30 minutes of 5H posting all these hints to 5H3, it shot straight to the Top Trends and #1 on Twitter (almost) everywhere!
And to add onto all of it, the links to purchase 7/27 in the descriptions of their social media accounts are now missing! Leading to several to suspect that it's being replaced with links to purchase the new single coming!
In addition to the craziness, after someone posted they were still "unimpressed" by what 5H posted on Twitter, Normani's mom Andrea was quick to defend!
HARMONIZERS!
You better be ready to be snatched right out of your seats, because #5H3 is coming! If the girls plan to continue this excitement, then they'll most likely announce their new single's release date sometime tomorrow or Monday (but as if we haven't come to the conclusion already...)! Which will ultimately set everything up for their debut performance of the song on GMA! Are you as excited as I am!?!?!?
So, I know many of us (including myself) are in belief that Fifth Harmony is releasing their new single on June 2nd and also believe they're performing the single on GMA to promote it.... But what if we're all getting excited for no reason? We may just all be in desperate need of new Fifth Harmony music, that the slightest hint of new 5H tunes fuels our excitement even more.... Just wanted to say, before I move along to news on what could possibly be the lead single, but don't get your hopes up too high if it turns out that the single in fact won't be released on June 2nd.....
Not saying it won't, but c'mon, Fifth Harmony and their management aren't dumb. They may follow what Camila did as she announced her lead single on a Sunday and it was released the same week on Friday.... So who knows, maybe Epic/Syco want to take the same route with Fifth Harmony? Time will tell, and our patience will definitely be rewarded... It should also be noted that last year for "Work From Home", their promotion for the single wasn't all that good either haha...
Picture from @tellin_me
Anyways, let's move along to the rumour which had dropped earlier... Apparently, Fifth Harmony's Lead single could possibly be titled "Down"!
Earlier, it had been found out that "Down" was registered in a Australian Music Database (APRA AMCOS).
Unlike "You Take Me To Heaven" & "Beautiful Day" (both are tracks supposedly by Fifth Harmony which were apparently registered in ASCAP, an American Music Database), this one is more believable as there has been mentions of it in livestreams or videos by Fifth Harmony that no one really gave it any meaning until the registration of it earlier this week.
Dinah: "It's going down!"
Sean: "It's going ALL THE WAY DOWN. DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN DOWN!"
Above is a video of Sean Bankhead and 5H's Dinah Jane Hansen, supposedly at a rehearsal for choreography, where they both repeated the rumoured lead single's name...
While also below, a snippet of a song below has Dinah Jane singing the supposed first verse of the single, in which the lines Dinah sings contains the word "Down" in it!
With all these new hints and details coming in, it definitely seems like "Down" will be included in Fifth Harmony's latest album and could as well be the Lead Single! Still no confirmation that it'll be released June 2nd though, although that Normani interview with AwesomenessTV just keeps replaying with my head as Normani supposedly confirms that a new single will appear June 2nd on GMA...... What do y'all think? Is this legit? Or is everyone getting excited for nothing and there may not be a single June 2nd?! We'll just have to see.. Meanwhile, rewatch the interview and see the supposed confirmation for yourself!
Camila Cabello released new music last week, with several Camilizers and Harmonizers celebrating the release of her Lead Single and promotional track. Crying in the Club & I Have Questions proved to the world Camila can hold her own as a soloist and everyone could not be more excited to see what else she has in store. Having worked with amazing artists such as Sia, Ed Sheeran, Pharrell Williams, Cashmere Cat and more, we've only just begun as Camila will hopefully continue to share more new music this summer as we gear up for the release of her debut full-length album The Hurting, The Healing, The Loving supposedly coming out this September 2017.
As we've now reached the one week anniversary of Crying in the Club, Camila's new songs have began to hit the charts as Camila makes her mark around the world. Her splash into the music industry only started last week though, so definitely expect some higher chart positions as the days/weeks go by.
Crying in the Club Chart Positions
France (Official) - #49
Ireland (Official) - #51
Sweden (Official) - #68
Netherlands (Official) - #80
Germany (Official) - 93
New Zealand (Heatseekers Chart) - #2
As you can see, most of the countries I've listed above have '(Official)' tagged with it to claim that it's the official national music chart. Whereas for New Zealand, Crying in the Club has only managed to get onto the Heatseekers Chart, not the actual official Top 100 Charts for New Zealand. For all those familiar with the popular Billboard charts, think of it as the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 Charts and that Crying in the Club is position #102.
Camila is definitely making an impact in Europe as of now, climbing the charts in France, Ireland, Sweden, the Netherlands, Germany & New Zealand! Time will tell if she will continue to climb or if lack of promotion of her lead single will cause the single to drop down..... Normally for singles in the U.S., Billboard allows singles for almost up to two weeks to cumulate as much sales/streams/airplay as possible before capping it off and officially debuting it on the Hot 100 Charts (or not even at all if it's sales are lacking). So, although Camila has yet to debut on the Billboard Hot 100, expect results next week! Take a listen if you have yet to hear Camila's new lead single, and remember to stream it on Spotify or buy it on iTunes!
I Have Questions Chart Positions
France (Official) - #94
Well, not as exciting as Crying in the Club, but managing to even chart as a promotional single is pretty good for Camila. I think it'll definitely have a bigger impact in the U.S. as it still remains high on the iTunes Top 100 currently. For other countries internationally, I doubt it will manage to remain popular and Camila's focus will most likely be on Crying in the Club. Take a listen if you haven't heard it already!
That about does it to summarize how Camila has done in the charts thus far. Stay tuned for the next following weeks to continue to see how much success Camila has attained with her new music! Since her music has only impacted radios this week, I definitely believe she'll climb the charts soon. As the weeks go by, these updates will feature more than just charts and will include iTunes performances, amount of Spotify plays and future promotional appearances of the song (if there are any). Meanwhile, continue to enjoy and purchase Camila Cabello's music and I can't wait to see what else she has in store <3 Also, check out this interview as Camila Cabello elaborates more on what's to come and what people can expect from her new album!
The day has finally come for the release of Halsey & Lauren Jauregui's collaboration!
As the release of Halsey's album (Hopeless Fountain Kingdom) is nearing within one week now (June 2nd!), Halsey & Fifth Harmony's Lauren Jauregui have released their music collaboration, and I just can't stop listening <3
Generally, this whole song is just hypnotizing and just such a bop. The chorus and lyrics are amazingly catchy and the vibe is very chill. I can imagine people in the club jamming to this song and chilling at a bar listening, more specifically an LGBT club if I might add. Both women do a great job singing, and I just love Lauren's additional runs during the final chorus, along with the harmonizing in the chorus with Lauren in the background a bit.
Halsey & Lauren are both publicly known as bisexuals. In an interview, Halsey explained her choice to invite Lauren to the studios and feature her on this song, adding that she wanted someone who actually suited this song to make it seem real and authentic. Check out the interview below as she also shares details about her new album as well!
Buy Strangers on iTunes now or begin streaming on Spotify or Apple Music!
Ally Brooke Hernandez has teamed up with The Lost Kings to release new music really soon! The collaboration is titled "Look At Us Now". It is unclear when Ally and The Lost Kings will release their new single, but the hype is real! Check out a preview in this little fun jam session!
While Ally has announced what she has been up to, the HYPE is real as several harmonizers are getting ready for the new collaboration between Halsey and Lauren Jauregui tomorrow!
Are you just as excited as I am for the girls' new solo work!? More updates will be available soon <3 Thanks for reading and hope you come back for more news soon!
Here to bring you the news that it's been two potential Fifth Harmony tracks' names have been leaked. People are quite unsure about this revelation, including the fact that in this music database, Fifth Harmony is not recorded as "5th Harmony", but again, no one is certain for sure if these tracks (which were recently registered into the database) are for 100% real.
"You Take Me To Heaven" & "A Beautiful Day" are two potential Fifth Harmony tracks which could be on their album. Something like this had happened for Big Bad Wolf, which did in fact appear on the album, but as a bonus track on the deluxe edition of 7/27 for Japan. So these two tracks could possibly be titles of tracks on the album, but I think it'll be like Big Bad Wolf and won't be the lead single.
Constant speculation is still happening, revolving around the assumptions that Fifth Harmony will be releasing their new single June 2nd, the same day as their GMA performance.... But nothing has been announced yet.... What do you think? Let me know in the comments below if there has been any other signs regarding the new single coming out soon!
Fifth Harmony's Newest Single May Be Closer Than You Think!
Video Credit: AwesomenessTV
During the rehearsals for the Finale of Dancing with the Stars (which happened yesterday with several harmonizers and members of the Kordei-Nation disappointed...), it seems interviewer Ruba Wilson managed to reveal what the GMA Performance for the GMA Summer Concert Series is really about...
Much speculation has taken place regarding Fifth Harmony's new single. After former Fifth Harmony member Camila Cabello dropped two terrific tracks over this past week and has been blessing our ears, several harmonizers are eager to see what Fifth Harmony will debut as a follow-up to Camila's debut without her former group members. (Check out Camila's newest tracks below!)
Crying in the Club
I Have Questions
Ever since it was announced that Fifth Harmony would perform on June 2nd on GMA next week, harmonizers have been buzzing over social media that the performance will in fact be the debut performance of their new single. It seems that Normani has confirmed in the interview above that it is in fact true (with the interviewer having a cute harmonizer freak-out then and there <3).
There are a lot more hints that Fifth Harmony is indeed releasing their new single next week, one of which may also be supported by the fact that a music video is currently in the works (confirmed by their stylist who claims this to be his 5th Fifth Harmony Music Video having worked on). Just like last year in February 2016, as harmonizers were gearing up for the release of Work From Home, the girls were working on the That's My Girl Music Video! So, if last year was any sign, the music video they're currently working on may just be for another single and totally unrelated to the lead single for #5H3. Despite this being somewhat random, the working pattern of working on a new music video just as they're preparing for the new single release like last year, could definitely be a sign.
Even with all these hints, Fifth Harmony have yet to confirm or deny these assumptions and speculations. They've constantly said that new music is coming "soon".... well, now they've changed it to "very soon" at least.... but a date hasn't been set for any music releases as of yet.... So, we still gotta wait for an actual confirmation. If Fifth Harmony or any of the girls do not post about the single this Friday or over this weekend, then we may all be getting excited over nothing....
But, even if they don't release the new single next week, we have Lauren Jauregui's new collaboration with Halsey coming out this Friday at least! Will be covering this in another post soon! HYPE! Thanks for reading and stay tuned for more updates!
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'speaks. 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.

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) According to http://musicchartfeeds.com/, iTunes UK: #3 iTunes Australia: #3 iTunes USA: #7 iTunes Philippines: #8 iTunes Canada: #12 iTunes Brazil: #30 iTunes Mexico: #30 iTunes India: #39 According to http://www.popvortex.com/charts/international-charts.php, iTunes New Zealand: #8 iTunes Ireland: #10 iTunes South Africa: #15 iTunes Switzerland: #28 iTunes Germany: #37 iTunes Netherlands: #40 iTunes Belgium: #42 iTunes Austria: #56 iTunes Denmark: #62 iTunes Japan: #63 iTunes Spain: #68 iTunes France: #71 iTunes Italy: #88 According to http://musicweekly.asia/charts iTunes Indonesia: #10 iTunes Singapore: #11 iTunes Cambodia: #20 iTunes Thailand: #22
Upcoming Live Performances
It has been announced over the past week, Fifth Harmony will be appearing on Jimmy Kimmel Live! for their second time! This is very exciting news as the girls will get the opportunity to promote their new single Work From Home and try to earn more sales. 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
Hey Harmonizers! After spending 4-5 months last year updating all of y'all on the success of Worth It and its respective chart changes, I'm here to now begin updating you on the success of Work From Home. From chart changes on Billboard and international charts to success on iTunes charts and certifications, make sure to check back here for new updates every week! (This Work From Home update will cover from Friday, February 26th to Thursday, March 10th, 2016)
Billboard (USA) Charts
Harmonizers (like me <3) have proven to be very dedicated and loyal to Fifth Harmony. Days before the release of the single, harmonizers were freakin' out 5H wasn't doing a lot of promo prior to the release day..... So Harmonizers took it upon themselves to twitter trend #5DaysTillWorkFromHome and counted down the days through these trends. I'm not sure if this caught many people's attention, but harmonizers did manage to set the single on fire when it got released. Work From Home rocketed to the top 10 of the iTunes charts and in the top 5, although never achieving #1. Regardless, the consistency of airplay from radios, streaming on Spotify and YouTube and the sales through iTunes managed to get Work From Home as Fifth Harmony's highest debut at #12, tying Worth It for 5H's highest charting song on the Billboard Hot 100! Worth It took around 5 months to achieve #12, and the fact that the girls could score this high debut within no time means that their fanbase has grown after the Reflection era. There are several other debuts on the other Billboard charts, but snagging #12 in their first week on the Hot 100 is just too incredible. Check out all the debut positions on the Billboard Charts! (Pop Songs and Rhythmic Songs are subjected to change due to the amount of airplay on radios, but the numbers below are the exact positions they debuted) Debut Positions of Work From Home Billboard Hot 100: #12 Billboard Pop Songs: #30 Billboard Digital Songs: #5 Billboard Streaming Songs: #13 Billboard On-Demand Songs: #13 Billboard Rhythmic: #39 Billboard YouTube Music Charts: #14 Billboard Twitter Top Tracks: #2 (Debuted in #2 last week) Charts Yet to Debut In
There are still three charts that Work From Home has yet to debut in, but it'll be very soon! Billboard Radio Songs Billboard Adult Top 40 Billboard Dance/Mix Show Airplay
International Charts
Fifth Harmony's 3x Platinum single Worth It took the world by storm with it's catchy beats and addictive chorus. It was Fifth Harmony's first all-around international hit and charted in several countries. With exposure to a wide array of countries already, this gave Work From Home an 'easier time' in sales since 5H has already established fans in several international countries. Here's how Work From Home charted internationally, and it's quite impressive! Debuts Canadian Hot 100: #18 Canadian Digital Songs: #23 UK: #23 Australia: #39 Ireland: #37 Switzerland: #44 Netherlands: #55 Austria: #60 Italy: #71 Sweden: #76
iTunes Charts
(Updates for iTunes Charts will begin this Thursday)
Certifications
Of course it is probably too early for any certifications as this is only the second week since Work From Home's release. Although, expect a certification or two really soon from RIAA. There's a reason why Work From Home debuted at #12 and tied 5H's other highest charting single Worth It. There were some pretty strong sales in the first week and a half and lots of streaming and airplay, so I'm sure the gold certification will come in less than a month or before March even ends!
Live Performances
Three days after the single's release, the girls performed the single for the very first time on Live! with Kelly & Michael's Oscar After Show! I gotta say, this was not their best performance that they could've possibly put out. Camila was okay, Normani was decent, while Dinah and Ally didn't really nail their verses. Lauren was alright, but only because the backtrack kinda covered her voice a little but you could still here her singing live. I believe that it will take time before they manage to put out the best possible performances for this single and I don't think they've gotten used to the choreography of the performance. I've also heard the Ally was sick, so that's probably one reason why she wasn't up to par. I think Ally and Dinah are used to the high notes and belting the songs out, but lower ranges may need more practice with all the dancing they have to do. Check out the performance below and formulate your own opinion!
YouTube
For some reason, I can't post the music video on here yet but since the release of the music video on February 26th, it has accumulated to over 33 million views! Make sure to continue to stream the music video to help Fifth Harmony earn more sales!
If Work From Home is any indicator of the future for Fifth Harmony, I'd say their upcoming album 7/27 will definitely debut successfully on the Billboard 200 and this new era will show up the Reflection era.
Fifth Harmony has left us harmonizers worrying this February. Why? Because the five ladies of the quintet kept quiet about literally everything on their upcoming single and second full-length album. But guess what!? On the night of February 24th, the ladies excited their fans by announcing the title and release date for their next album. They also confirmed their upcoming single will be released tomorrow, February 26th.
(To view the announcement video, click the link beside 'May 20th')
The name of the album is called 7/27, in honour of the date the girls were put together on The X Factor. The girls have come a long way, and it makes sense to pay homage to how it all started. 7/27 is set to be released May 20th, and that is a very reasonable date. In an interview, Camila said the group has finished 99% of the album. It's just a matter of finalizing the tracklist for their album and making some finishing touches. So two months of finalization is a lot of time, unlike what happened in 2014-2015 with their debut album Reflection. Hopefully the date of May 20th will not be pushed back because that seems far enough already.
'Work From Home' is being released tomorrow and I could not be more excited! I got my credit card ready y'all! I'm just a the point of hoping and praying this single is what we've all been waiting for, a song which will finally showcase their vocal abilities. But by the looks of it, people are saying it's a cross between Worth It and another 5H single......
(P.S. people been sayin that the music video will be released the same time as the single, so let's HOPE and PRAY <3)
The girls of 5H are set to appear at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood, Los Angeles, California on the After Oscar Show hosted by Kelly Ripa and Michael Strahan from the talk show Live! with Kelly & Michael. Fifth Harmony appeared on their show earlier in 2015 to promote their international hit Worth It and debut album Reflection. It's reported that the girls will perform the lead single Work From Home (releasing Feb. 26, 2016) on the show to promote it and to promote their upcoming sophomore album 7/27 (releasing May. 20, 2016).
It seems like the girls have decided to hang out in L.A. for a while. Ever since the time of the Grammys, the girls have been enjoyin' time in California as they prepare to promote their new era. Who's excited for this new era of 5H and their appearance on the After Oscar Show this upcoming Monday? I know I am <3
Fifth Harmony's new single is called 'Work From Home'!!!!! SO EXCITED! Fifth Harmony didn't announce the name....... some radio station DJ posted on their website and were supposed to announce that the single was comin' out Friday, but instead of saying 'single', they accidentally forgot about secrecy and put in 'Work From Home'.
Well, I don't blame the Radio Station for leaking the name. 5H shoulda announced it like last week..... I don't know why they didn't promote over the past weekend. It's confirmed they will be at a radio station answering questions, not sure if it's about the single though. #4DaysUntilWorkFromHome has been trending recently and is one of the top worldwide trends as I'm typing this! WHO'S EXCITED!?!?!?!
On the February 16th, 2016 edition of the Ellen DeGeneres Show this week, Camila performed with the sweet and kind Shawn Mendes, who earlier apologized to Ellen for not thanking her at the People's Choice. Ellen didn't even expect him to apologize or anything or to even think about thanking her for his win, and a lot of people in the crowd just fell in love with how humble Shawn was.
Back to Camila, this is her first appearance on Ellen without fellow Fifth Harmony members Ally, Normani, Lauren and Dinah. Camila and Shawn performed their collaborative Top 20 hit 'I Know What You Did Last Summer' and put on a fun performance for the audience. Check out the interview with Shawn Mendes and the performance!
Interview With Shawn
'I Know What You Did Last Summer' Performance (Camila & Shawn)
The 58th Annual Grammy Awards was a spectacular night where many artists are rewarded for their work in the music industry. There were also some spectacular performers including 'Album of the Year' recipient Taylor Swift, 'Best New Artist' nominees James Bay and Tori Kelly, Ellie Goulding, Andra Day, Pentatonix and Stevie Wonder, Kendrick Lamar and many more. But personally, I loved the Tori Kelly and James Bay collaboration since I'm a big fan of both of these two artists. The mix of both 'Let It Go' and 'Hollow' was so beautiful. Tori's runs are so amazing and sends chills throughout the audience. Check it out below!

After the Grammys was over, it was one night to remember as many artists set out to party all night long for celebration. Although Fifth Harmony didn't attend the Grammys (don't understand why they couldn't.... maybe because of Lauren's knee infection?), four of them set out to celebrate with fellow artists at Grammy After Parties! But, the four I'm talking about weren't all together. Camila hopped into a van with the likes of her bestie Taylor Swift, Ellie Goulding and Lorde and headed to the Universal Music Group's After Party. At the Universal After Party, Camila got to hang out with celebrities and artists like L.A. Reid, Daya, Calvin Harris and Meghan Trainor.

And on the red carpet for the Universal Music Group Grammy After Party, Chelsea Briggs from Hollywire TV managed to interview Camila for a couple of minutes and asking about the Grammys, #5H2 and her appearance on Ellen with Shawn Mendes. One thing to note is that it's odd that it's all been so scrambled and possibly unorganized lately if Camila doesn't even know if a release date for their upcoming single has been announced, which it has.... Check it out below!
While Camila was partying it up at one of the Grammy After Parties in Los Angeles, 3/5 of 5H decided to go together to attend other parties in L.A. as well. Apparently, Dinah, Ally and Normani went to the Sony Grammy After Party, but after 10 minutes they left to party at Republic Records' Grammy After Party. The three ladies were able to hang out with stars like Tori Kelly, Rachel Platten and Shawn Mendes.

Sadly, Lauren couldn't party at all that night with her fellow 5H members due to her knee infection, but reports say that she's doing fine with her healing process. To be safe, I guess she had to stay away from too much action on one of the biggest nights in the music industry. But why did 3/5 of 5H go to one party and Camila went to another? Maybe the others agreed that it was okay if Camila wanted to hang out with her other musical besties and friends, but I believe that if they are a group they should stick together. When 5H starts appearing on their own, it's the cause of many harmonizers and 5H fans freaking out about signs of a breakup or a solo career for Camila. I definitely do think most harmonizers over-react when 1/5 of the group appears on their own or 3/5 appears without the other two. Although, I'd prefer to the girls showing unity and standing together to showcase the group as a whole.
