Heres why its time for the ascendance of Britains own Little Mix.

Across the pond, Mix have mirrored their rivals ubiquity and, in some respects, eclipsed it.

Though 5H has done better commercially in the States, theyve never hit No.

There, theyve had five No.

1s between the albums and singles charts.

They know how to have fun.

The Brits just play this game better.

You could ask the question Which Spice Girl are you?

in the 1990s because you knew what each woman brought to the table.

Little Mix carries on the tradition of U.K. singers bringing fans along on their unfiltered party train.

Then theres Perrie Edwards yelling STEAK TAH-TAH!

before a handler ushered her away from a microphone.

Theyre versatile.

Heres the gag: Little Mix have arguably been the superior girl group this whole time.

Look no further than their live gospel mash-up of Whitney Houston and Jason Derulo for proof.

Do you need girl-power anthems to run (or cry) to?

Try Salute, Wings, Weird People, or Shoutout to My Ex.

If Fifth Harmony have moved on, its time to let Little Mix move in.
