Little Mix have released some certified bangers over the years, with their incredible songs becoming favourites among pretty much all Mixers around the world! Leigh-Anne Pinnock, Perrie Edwards and Jade Thirlwall's ability to switch up their sound is second to none, and that's definitely the case on 'Salute' - their call-to-arms, feminist anthem.

It's no surprise that the song reached the Top 10 in the UK, and now it's been handed another award - being certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI)! This honour means that the song has seen 600,000 sales here, which is just incredible.
