Fifth Harmony is an American girl group formed on the second season of the The X Factor USA in July 2012. The group consists of members Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, Camila Cabello, and Lauren Jauregui. In January 2013, they signed a joint deal with Syco Music, owned by Simon Cowell, and Epic Records, L.A. Reid's record label, after finishing in third place on the show.
Following their exit from The X Factor, they released their debut single "Miss Movin' On", which charted within the Hot 100 and was certified gold in the U.S.. The following year, the video won the group the Artist to Watch award at the MTV Video Music Awards.[2] Their debut EP, Better Together was released in 2013 with a first week position of number six on the U.S. Billboard 200. The group released their debut studio album, Reflection in 2015 debuting at number five on the Billboard 200 and receiving a gold certification from the RIAA.[3] The album included the platinum singles "Boss", "Sledgehammer" and "Worth It". The latter achieved triple platinum certification in the U.S. and reached the top 10 in thirteen countries. "Work from Home", the lead single from their sophomore album 7/27 (2016), became the group's first top 10 single on the Billboard Hot 100[4] and the first top 5 by a girl group in a decade.[5]
Their accolades include one iHeartRadio Music Award, three MTV Europe Music Awards, three MTV Video Music Award, an American Music Award, a Billboard Women in Music award and seven Teen Choice Awards.
With 10 million certified records (sales plus streaming-equivalent units) in the United States, Fifth Harmony has emerged as the most successful alumni from the X Factor U.S. franchise.[6][7]
Career
2012: The X Factor
Fifth Harmony is composed of five singers who all successfully auditioned as soloists on the second season of The X Factor USA in 2012, but failed to progress individually to the judges' houses stage of the competition. On 27 July 2012, they were formed as a group at the end of bootcamp by Simon Cowell and Demi Lovato, thus qualifying for the "Groups" category. Originally, the group's name was "LYLAS" (acronym for Love You Like a Sister), but another group called "The Lylas" (which consists of four of Bruno Mars' sisters) claimed that the show stole their name.[8] Thereafter, LYLAS changed their name to 1432 (which stands for I Love You Too), which was announced on the first live show on October 31, 2012, during which 1432 performed "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" by Taylor Swift. Simon Cowell and L.A. Reid were critical of the new name, and Cowell suggested that the group be renamed again. During the first live results show on November 1, 2012, 1432 performed "Skyscraper" by Demi Lovato in a sing-off with Sister C. Cowell decided to send 1432 through to the Top 12 and he announced that they would be renamed by the viewers online. The name chosen by the public was announced: "Fifth Harmony".[9]
In the semi-finals stage of the show, they performed Ellie Goulding's "Anything Could Happen" as well as Shontelle's "Impossible" (for the second time during the competition). Their performance of "Anything Could Happen" was "a finals-caliber performance" according to L.A. Reid and described as "magic" by Britney Spears.[10] Their performance of "Impossible" received mostly negative reviews from the judges because the group had previously performed the song at Simon Cowell's home (although not on The X Factor concert stage). Three members of the group (Camila, Lauren, and Ally) sang parts of the song in fluent Spanish. The following night's public vote results advanced Fifth Harmony to the final 3 along with Tate Stevens and Carly Rose Sonenclar. On the Top three live show, Fifth Harmony performed Ellie Goulding's "Anything Could Happen" for the second time as their "Song of the Series" song. Their second song was a duet with The X Factor judge Demi Lovato singing "Give Your Heart a Break". Their final song of the night was "Let It Be" by The Beatles, billed as their "$5 million song". After the first round of the finals they did not receive enough votes from the public to advance to the Top 2, and they finished in 3rd place on December 20, 2012.[11]

In early 2014, Fifth Harmony confirmed reports that recording had begun for their full-length debut album with record producers Julian Bunetta, Daylight, Joe London and multi-instrumentalist songwriter Ricky Reed.[39] The group stated the album is less pop, "more rhythmic" and has a more mature sound than Better Together.[40] Fifth Harmony's fourth headlining promo tour was revealed at the end of March 2014, titled Fifth Times a Charm Tour, with dates in Puerto Rico and the US.[41] It was announced by Billboard that a rep from Epic Records had confirmed that the album release was moved from December 16, 2014 to January 27, 2015.[42]
Their debut studio album, Reflection was ultimately released on February 3, 2015.[43] After a full week of sales, Reflection entered the US Billboard 200 at number five with 80,000 units (with 62,000 of that coming from traditional album sales)[44] and was eventually certified Gold by the RIAA in February 2016.[26] The album's lead single, "Boss", released on July 7, 2014, peaked at number 43 on the US Billboard Hot 100 chart with first-week sales of 75,000.[45] and received a platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling a million digital downloads and streams combined in the United States.[26] The second single from Reflection, the Meghan Trainor-penned "Sledgehammer", went on to become the group's first top 40 entry on the Billboard Hot 100, and was also certified platinum by the RIAA.[26] The third single from the album, "Worth It", featuring American rapper Kid Ink, became the album's most successful single, peaking at number 12 on the Billboard Hot 100,[46] and receiving a triple platinum certification by the RIAA.[26] "Worth It" charted in the top ten charts in thirteen countries and received certifications from twelve countries.

Artistry
Fifth Harmony is mainly a pop[63][64][65] and R&B[66] girl group. They have described their music as having a "retro feel" to it as well.[67]
The group lists Mariah Carey, Whitney Houston, the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child as their main influences.[67] Lana Del Rey, Adele, Janet Jackson, Celine Dion, Rihanna, Brandy, Jennifer Lopez, Demi Lovato, Patti LaBelle, One Direction, Cher Lloyd, Carrie Underwood, Jessie J, Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Selena, Celia Cruz, Alejandro Fernández, Ed Sheeran and Leona Lewis have influenced individual members of the group.[1][68]
Philanthropy
Fifth Harmony supports a number of charities and organizations whose initiatives are focused on sponsoring underprivileged teenagers and promoting youth empowerment. In November 2013 they partnered with the Ryan Seacrest Foundation, and visited patients at the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.[69] They have also performed for patients at the Children's Hospital Los Angeles. In 2013 Fifth Harmony took part in the Social Media Mania initiative, sponsored by the executive producers of the Teen Choice Awards, which included seminars at high schools on topics such as promoting social media awareness and protecting against the dangers of technology misuse; and two members also shared some of their own experiences as victims of cyber bullying.[70]
Fifth Harmony has a partnership with Girl Scouts of America, performing a number of free concerts for young girls who have participated in various fund-raising and charitable activities for the organisation. Fifth Harmony has performed concerts in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Ohio and Virginia.[71]
The group participated in Goodwill Industries' 2013 Fall Haul Donation Challenge in which schools in Wisconsin and Illinois were encouraged to donate as many items as possible to the charity organization; the school with the most donations won a private live Fifth Harmony performance.[72] It was revealed in January 2014 that Fifth Harmony is the new face of the Aéropostale and Do Something Teens for Jeans campaign. They recorded a public service announcement encouraging community-driven donations of "gently worn" denims to the campaign in aid of homeless teens.[73]
In conjunction with the release of their single "Boss", the group launched a self-esteem campaign in partnership with Do Something called #ImABOSS. The campaign ran from July 9, 2014 to September 9, 2014 and it encouraged young people to make signs for their friends that include a compliment or unique trait of those friends. The purpose of the campaign was stated to be to instill confidence and kindness in the youth. Ally Brooke was quoted as saying "The #ImABoss campaign is exactly in line with our new single Boss because it's all about owning and sharing what makes you confident and strong."[74][75][76]
Fifth Harmony were also announced as ambassadors for The Cybersmile Foundation, an anti-cyberbullying initiative, in May 2015.[77] Born prematurely herself, Ally Brooke became a spokesperson for the mother and child health organization March of Dimes in November 2015, in honor of Prematurity Awareness Month and World Prematurity Day.[78] Camila Cabello also partnered with Save The Children to show her care for Syria's children.[79] Lauren Jauregui is currently involved in Do Something's campaign #LoseYourVCard to help and encourage new adults to vote and to help guide them in the process so the youth of the US can be more involved in the final outcome. Normani Kordei on the other hand was named the Diversity Ambassador of Cybersmile foundation after being abused online on the basis of her race and is now bound to help prevent that from happening to other people everywhere.

As opening act on Demi Lovato's The Neon Lights Tour, Fifth Harmony teamed up with Clean & Clear.[84] The group recorded a series of commercials for the product, which were shown to arenas of concert attendees and later uploaded onto Clean & Clear's YouTube profile.[85] In August 2014, Clean & Clear commercials featuring Fifth Harmony were played on the MTV channel in the run-up to the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.[86] In 2015, national commercials for Clean & Clear featuring Fifth Harmony began airing on television.[87]
The national television commercial for Hershey's Caramels features Fifth Harmony's single "Worth It".[88] In June 2015, Fifth Harmony were named as the faces of Candie's, a clothing brand stocked exclusively at Kohl's. With this endorsement deal, the girl group became the first one to face the brand since Destiny's Child.[89] Fifth Harmony recorded a jingle and music video for the brand, titled "Rock Your Candie's", which premiered at the 2015 Teen Choice Awards.[90][91]
