Fifth Harmony is an American girl group formed on the second season of the X Factor USA. The group consists of members Ally Brooke Hernandez, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane Hansen, Camila Cabello, and Lauren Jauregui. 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 behind Tate Stevens and Carly Rose Sonenclar on the show.

Following their exit from The X Factor, their debut single "Miss Movin' On" was released and peaked at number 76 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for selling over half a million digital downloads. Their debut EP, Better Together was released in 2013 with a first week position of number six on the US Billboard 200. Fifth Harmony won MTV's Artist To Watch award at the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.[2]

The group released their debut studio album, Reflection in February 2015. The album debuted at number five on the Billboard 200, with 80,000 units sold in the first week and was supported by the group's first major headlining tour, the Reflection Tour. All the singles released from the album, "BO$$," "Sledgehammer" and "Worth It" (featuring rapper Kid Ink) were certified Platinum by the RIAA for selling over 1 million digital downloads. "Worth It" also became the group's first Top 15 hit, after peaking at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100. With 3.5 million singles sold in the United States alone, from their EP, Better Together, and their debut studio album, Reflection, Fifth Harmony has emerged as the most successful alumni from the X Factor US franchise and have also been labeled the most influential contestant to come from the series.[3]

Career

2012: The X Factor

Fifth Harmony is composed of five singers who all successfully auditioned as soloists on The X Factor, but failed to progress individually to the Judges' Houses stage of the competition. They were later formed as a group at the end of bootcamp by Simon Cowell, 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.[4] 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".[5]

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.[6] 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.[7]

Performances on The X Factor

2013–14: Better Together

Fifth Harmony performing on their Harmonize America Tour, August 2013.

2014–present: Reflection and breakout success

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.[38] The group stated the album is less pop, "more rhythmic" and has a more mature sound than Better Together.[39] Fifth Harmony's fourth headlining tour was revealed at the end of March 2014, titled Fifth Times a Charm Tour, with dates in Puerto Rico and the US.[40] It was announced by Billboard that a rep from Epic Records confirmed that the album release was moved from December 16, 2014 to January 27, 2015.[41]

Their debut studio album, Reflection was ultimately released on February 3, 2015.[42] 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).[43] 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, becoming the group's highest-charting song as well as their song with the highest first week sales, at the time.[44] The song charted on the US Billboard Mainstream Top 40 at number 37, as well as in other countries such as the Canadian Hot 100 chart at number 75. "Boss" received a Platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in the US.[23] The second single from Reflection, the Meghan Trainor-penned "Sledgehammer", went on to become Fifth Harmony's first Top 40 hit on the Billboard Hot 100, and highest charting single on the Mainstream Top 40 chart peaking at number 21. "Sledgehammer" also became the group's highest-charting single in Canada at the time, peaking at number 63 on the Canadian Hot 100. On June 26, 2015, "Sledgehammer" was certified Platinum by the RIAA for selling over 1 million copies in the United States.[23] The third single from the album, "Worth It", featuring American rapper Kid Ink, made its peak position on the Billboard Hot 100 chart at 14, making it their second Top 40 hit and highest-charting single in the United States.[45] On June 3, 2015, "Worth It" was certified Platinum by the RIAA for selling over 1 million copies in the United States. "Worth It" became the group's first international hit, charting in the top ten charts in the United Kingdom, Scotland, Greece, Lebanon, Israel, and Luxembourg, as well as peaking within the top twenty of the music charts in countries such as Australia, France, Belgium, Canada, Slovakia and Germany.[23] The album was supported by the group's first major headlining tour, the Reflection Tour.[46] The tour started on February 27, 2015, in San Francisco and ended on March 27, 2015 in Philadelphia. Jasmine V, Jacob Whitesides and Mahogany Lox were the opening acts.[47] The Reflection: Summer Tour was announced on April 24, 2015. The tour started on July 15 and will end on September 15.

Artistry

We want our songs to be fun, positive, and inspiring, and for our vocals to shine through, The songs are a direct reflection of us and what we go through. Because we've been able to co-write, we've been able to personalize our music and make it relatable. We want to be collectively unique and yet show our individuality, We're teenage girls hoping teenage girls can listen to the songs and feel like we're saying what they want to say.

— Fifth Harmony, on their musical style.

Fifth Harmony cites Demi Lovato, Katy Perry, Whitney Houston, the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child as their main influences.[55] Fifth Harmony also cites solo artists Beyoncé, Alicia Keys, Christina Aguilera, Selena, Celia Cruz, Alejandro Fernandez, and Leona Lewis as sources of musical inspiration.[1]

They have described their music as having a "retro feel" to it as well.[55] Each member has a different voice type: Lauren has a mature, smoky voice, which brings a fierce and "feisty flavor",[1] Camila has a unique voice that gives the group a "raw edge",[1] Normani has a bluesy vocal style that comes from her roots as a gospel singer,[1] Ally has a "powerful" vocal range which has vibrant energy and Dinah has drawn comparisons to Beyoncé and Alicia Keys.[1]

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.[56] 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 of the quintet also shared some of their own experiences as victims of cyber bullying.[57]

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.[58]

The girl group participated in Goodwill Industries' 2013 Fall Haul Donation Challenge whereby 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.[59] It was revealed in January 2014 that Fifth Harmony is the new face of the Aéropostale and Do Something Teens for Jeans campaign. The girl group recorded a public service announcement encouraging community-driven donations of "gently worn" denims to the campaign, in aid of homeless teens.[60]

In conjunction with the release of Fifth Harmony's single "BO$$", the group launched a self-esteem campaign in partnership with "Do Something" called #ImABOSS. The campaign ran from July 9, 2014 to September 9, 2014 and it encouraged young people to make signs for their friends that include a compliment or unique trait of those friends. The purpose of the campaign was stated to be to instill confidence and kindness in the youth. Fifth Harmony member Ally Brooke was quoted as saying, "The #ImABoss campaign is exactly in line with our new single BO$$ because it's all about owning and sharing what makes you confident and strong."[61][62][63]

Fifth Harmony were also announced as ambassadors for The Cybersmile Foundation, an anti-cyberbullying initiative, in May 2015.[64]

Endorsements and sponsorships

In December 2013, Fifth Harmony was revealed as the faces of Jovani Fashions' Prom 2014 line. This included a feature spread in Seventeen and a competition with the prize of having the girl group perform at the winner's high school prom.[65]

On January 30, 2014, Fifth Harmony invited members of the media to The Grammy Museum for a press conference to reveal the group's new multi-year partnership with Mattel's Barbie brand. The girl group recorded a global brand anthem for Barbie, "Anything Is Possible", which they performed at the press conference. The line of dolls, made in each member's likeness, was revealed in November 2014.[66]

In June 2014, Sony Music Entertainment announced that they would be launching endorsement deals between Fifth Harmony and a number of companies, including two clothing lines with Wet Seal. The first clothing line with Wet Seal was launched in August 2014 in 200 stores across America, featuring a collection from each member based on their individual style.[67] Among other licensing agreements signed by Sony Music on behalf of Fifth Harmony were JCorp (apparel), Accessory Innovations (accessories), Brown Trout (posters) and Sky High (back-to-school supplies).[68]

As opening act on Demi Lovato's Neon Lights Tour, Fifth Harmony teamed up with Clean & Clear.[69] 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.[70] 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.[71] In 2015, national commercials for Clean & Clear featuring Fifth Harmony began airing on television.[72]

The national television commercial for Hershey's Caramels features Fifth Harmony's first platinum US single Worth It.[73] 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 follows in the footsteps of previous ambassadors Britney Spears, Destiny's Child, Kelly Clarkson, Vanessa Hudgens and Carly Rae Jepsen and has become the first girl group to face the brand since Destiny's Child.[74]
