Little Mix just smashed a brand new record

Since becoming the first ever group to win **The X Factor **back in 2011, the Little Mix girls have been non-stop, touring the world, releasing hit singles and dropping four amazing albums. And it seems their hard work continues to pay off as the girls have just smashed another chart record.

Little Mix's most recent album 'Glory Days' has spent the most weeks in the Official Top 40 UK Album Chart than any other girl group in history! That's including the likes of Girls Aloud, The Supremes and the Spice Girls.

Overtaking both The Supremes and the Spice Girls, Little Mix's 'Glory Days' album has been in the Top 40 for an impressive 69 weeks!

'Glory Days' is the group's fourth studio album to date, featuring popular tracks such as 'Shout Out To My Ex', 'Touch' and their collaboration with Stormy for 'Power'. The album was first released back in November 2016, with the band later touring the world with their 'The Glory Days' tour.

At the end of 2017, Little Mix thanked their fans when they looked back at everything they'd achieved. Taking to Instagram to list their achievements for the year, the girls wrote, 'So this happened In 2017.. and we can’t quite believe it! Mixers all over the world we adore you, this is all down to you and we just want to thank you for everything from the bottom of our hearts you actual legends 😍.. Yal best be ready for 2018 coz we really can’t wait 😍❤️🙈' [sic]

As well as having the best selling female album and the biggest arena tour, Little Mix also smashed Vevo records and were in the top 5 most streamed in the UK on Spottily.

Little Mix will be hoping to mirror last year's success for the remainder of 2018. Already the girls have announced a Summer tour and they've teased fans admitting they are currently working on their fifth studio album.

Earlier this year singer RAYE let slip she'd been working with the group. When asked what she has been working on RAYE said, "The Little Mix album, I've been writing for that. For every 10 guys there's one girl, everywhere you go."

**See the best times Little Mix made us laugh out loud: **

Little Mix are currently out in Japan, but the band will be returning to the UK in time for their 'Summer Hits Tour' later in the year.

Performing at 16 outdoor venues, Little Mix will be supported by 2017 winners of **The X Factor **Rak-Su and Australian sister trio Germein.
