Little Mix have insisted that they will not be trying to compete for solo number one singles after announcing that they will be separating after 11 years together.

The group have notched up an impressive five number 1 singles, as well as winning three Brit Awards over the seven albums they have released together.

But now the group has decided that the time has come for them to part ways, they just hope that they don’t get in each others’ way for number 1 spots.

The group have also vowed that despite their split, they do want to reunite at some point in the future.

The group was the first girl band to win the Best British Band award at the Brits

Members Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock and Jade Thirlwall said that they are managing their solo releases so they’re not releasing new music simultaneously.

Perrie, 28, told The Sun : “We’ve all said we will let each other know when we’re going to release so we don’t end up clashing in the charts. We’re rooting for each other, not competing against each other.”

Leigh-Anne added: “We are so close and that’s the thing. We’re all going to be in communication about this the whole time.”

The 30-year-old said that their friendship is too important to jeopardise and they want to ensure that they are not getting in each others’ way after they each start their solo career.

Little Mix have become the most successful girl band in the UK after being brought together on the X Factor.
