Little Mix Land Eighth Platinum Single With 'Reggaetón Lento'
The 'Touch' superstars have matched the Spice Girls' record...
Little Mix are officially the most successful girl group since the Spice Girls.
If you hadn't already noticed that Jade, Jesy, Leigh-Anne and Perrie are pretty unstoppable then perhaps this will do it: the band now have eight platinum-selling singles in the UK, the same amount as the Spice Girls.
'Reggaetón Lento', their Spanglish collaboration with Latin pop kings CNCO, follows 'Power' to become their latest single to be certified platinum by the BPI.
I know it's crazy, but I feel like you could be
The one that I've been chasing in my dreams
Boy, I can see you're looking at me like you want it
Oh, usually I'm like, "Whatever," but tonight
The way you moving got me, "Where am I?"
It started when I looked in her eyes
I got close and I'm like "Bailemos" (Hey)
La noche está para un reggaetón lento
De esos que no se bailan hace tiempo (Ooh)
Yo solo la miré y me gustó
Me pegué y la invité: "Bailemos?" (Hey)
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let go
Excuse me baby boy, just had to dance with you now
See there's nobody in here that comes close to you, no
Your hands are on my waist, my lips you wanna taste
Come muévete, muévete, muévete
Our bodies on fire, with full of desire
If you feel what I feel, throw your hands up higher
And to all the ladies around the world
Go ahead and muévete, muévete, muévete
It started when I looked in her eyes
I got close and I'm like "Bailemos" (Hey)
La noche está para un reggaetón lento (ehe)
De esos que no se bailan hace tiempo (Ooh)
Yo solo la miré y me gustó
Me pegué y la invité: "Bailemos?" (hey)
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let go
Do you know I like you when I take you to the floor (the floor)
I know you like this reggaetón lento (lento)
This ain't stopping, baby, 'til I say so
Come get, come get some more
Boy, I wish that this could last forever
'Cause every second by your side is heaven
Oh, come give me that, give me that boom, boom, boom, oh
I tell you, baby, you, baby, you get me hotter
Loving made me sick, made me sick, you're my doctor
Don't you know you're playing with fire tonight
Can we get it right here one more time
It started when I looked in her eyes
I got close and I'm like "Bailemos" (Hey)
La noche está para un reggaetón lento
De esos que no se bailan hace tiempo (Ooh)
Yo solo la miré y me gustó
Me pegué y la invité: "Bailemos?" (Hey)
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let go
Yo solo la miré y me gustó
Me pegué y la invité: "Bailemos, eh?"
La noche está para un reggaetón lento
De esos que no se bailan hace tiempo
It started when I looked in her eyes
I got close and I'm like, "Bailemos" (Eh)
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let go
Muévete, muévete
Báilalo, báilalo
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Let's get a little closer, slow the tempo
Muévete, muévete (Just dance with me now)
Drop it low, drop it low
So now we dancing un reggaetón lento
Just get a little closer, baby, let's go
The banger joins 'Power', 'Hair', 'Touch', 'Shout Out To My Ex', 'Secret Love Song', 'Black Magic' and 'Wings' in the platinum club, making 'No More Sad Songs' the only Glory Days single to hit the mark.
Four out of five singles from one album to go platinum in one year? Oh, they make it look so easy! 'Reggaetón Lento' is also CNCO's first platinum-selling single in the UK, which is huge for the Latin group.
Eight of the Spice Girls' 11 singles were certified platinum - selling over 600,000 copies, for those not familiar - and Little Mix could soon surpass this record.
Little Mix have already surpassed the legendary girl group in other ways, as they have more million-selling singles in the UK than the 'Wannabe' hitmakers.
'Touch', 'Shout Out To My Ex' and 'Black Magic' have all sold more than 1 million copies, while 'Wannabe' and '2 Become 1' are the Spice's only two to do so.
For match the success of a group as world-renowned as the Spice Girls is incredible, and we can't wait to see what LM do next.
Congratulations, girls!

Feeling feelings I've never felt
The way you got me under your spell
Don't you keep it all to yourself
So won't you take it?
I feel like for the first time I am not faking
Fingers on my buttons and now you're playing
Master of anticipation, don't you keep it all to yourself
Just a touch of your love is enough
To knock me off of my feet all week
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love is enough
To take control of my whole body
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love is enough
To knock me off of my feet, all week
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love is enough
To take control of my whole body
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love, oh
Photograph with no T-shirt on
Why you making me wait so long?
(Wait so long)
I promise to keep this a secret, I'll never tell
But don't you keep it all to yourself
So won't you take it?
I feel like for the first time I am not faking
Fingers on my buttons and now you're playing
Master of anticipation, don't you keep it all to yourself
(To yourself)
Just a touch of your love is enough
To knock me off of my feet all week
Just a touch of your love, oh (Just a touch)
Just a touch of your love, oh (Just a touch)
Just a touch of your love is enough
To take control of my whole body
Just a touch of your love, oh (Just a touch)
Just a touch of your love, oh (Just a touch)
Just a touch of your love is enough
To knock me off of my feet all week
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love is enough
To take control of my whole body
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love, hey
And now my whole week, my whole week is golden
Can you see me glowing? That's how I feel
And I'm not afraid to fade into emotions
'Cause I know that this could be something real
Just a touch of your love is enough
To knock me off of my feet all week
Just a touch of your love, oh
Just a touch of your love, oh (Just a touch)
Just a touch of your love is enough
To take control of my whole body
Just a touch of your love, oh (Only a touch of your love)
Just a touch of your love, oh (Want a touch of your)
Just a touch of your love is enough
To knock me off of my feet, all week
Just a touch of your love (Just a touch)
Just a touch of your love (Just a touch)
Just a touch of your love is enough
To take control of my whole body
Just a touch of your love, hey!
Just a touch of your love, hey!
