~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A note about the singles chart runs included in this thread:
The Top 200 chart runs (from 1996, to 29th April 2001) are sourced from the "Hit Music" charts, as used by http://www.zobbel.de/ website. Beyond that date, the Top 200s are sourced from the "Official Charts Company" charts. These two charts differed. "Hit Music" chart was a Top 200 list of the best selling singles, i.e. #200 was the 200th best seller of the week. However, in the "Official Charts Company" ("OCC") chart, only the Top 75 singles were the best sellers in order; the 76-200 section featured "compressed positions", which means that certain titles were removed from the chart.
OCC's old rules regarding their 76-200 section: "A single which, in the normal course of events, would appear between positions 76 and 200 of the combined Singles Chart is excluded if its sales have fallen for two or more consecutive weeks AND have fallen by more than 20% in the past week. Once excluded in this way, a record will only re-appear in the chart if its sales increase. Records excluded by this rule are shown on the printed chart report with their sales index and asterisks (***) in place of a chart position."
All the Top 200 chart runs from 6th May 2001 to 10th April 2005 are from OCC's "compressed" charts, which will explain the seemingly sudden drop outs from the charts & the erratic re-entries that occur; you'll see this clearly in the chart runs of their solo releases from these years.
From Wannabe (July 1996) up to the release of Mel B's 'Feels So Good' (February 2001) I've included the Hit Music Top 200 chart run and the Official Charts Company Top 100 chart run (as posted on their website).
From 17th April 2005 (which incidentally is when digital download sales were first introduced), the OCC scrapped their "compressed" rule and began showing the actual best selling singles in order, just like the old Hit Music charts. From this date up until 12th March 2006, they expanded to a Top 250. However, from 19th March 2006 the OCC reduced to a Top 200 again. From this date until the end of 2006, a song was allowed to chart on the strength of downloads alone for 1 week prior to a physical release (as can be seen with Emma Bunton's 'Downtown'). January 2007 marked the first time that all songs were allowed to chart if they were available to download, regardless of whether a physical format existed.
A note about first week sales:
Official Charts Company retroactively downgraded sales from 1994-1996. I find it too complicated to explain why this happened, but if you're interested in knowing more then Google search: "1994-1996 DUS Panel Gallup Buzzjack" (without the quotation marks) - it brings up some old threads where it's discussed. This therefore affects Spice (the album), Wannabe, Say You'll Be There and 2 Become 1. This has resulted in different total sales and first week sales reported for these titles, over the years.
A lot of the first week sales data comes from Music Week and Official Charts Company. However there are some releases (mainly solo) where the original source couldn't be found, while some figures are estimates.

HOLLER / LET LOVE LEAD THE WAY
"Double A Side" 2nd single from 'Forever'
Note: Holler's downloads and streams contribute to the Double A Side entry, but Let Love Lead the Way's downloads and streams don't - and therefore only contribute to Let Love Lead the Way's sales as a standalone song. However there are separate sales for Holler too - these are possibly sales of the digital download Remix EP (which is simply credited as 'Holler'), or the 12" Vinyl (chart rules used to allow no more than three formats to contribute to a single's chart entry - so sales of the CD1/CD2/Cassette sales would have been combined in 2000, but sales of the vinyl wouldn't have been included).

WORD UP
Non-album single
Note: The chart from 4th July 1999 suffered from having missing sales data (from Virgin & Our Price stores), which resulted in an inaccurate chart being aired/published. This affected 'Word Up', which was originally revealed to have entered at #14. In February 2015, the correct chart was published on the Official Charts website, revealing that 'Word Up' had actually charted at #13! There are two different chart runs below, one from Hit Music and one from Official Charts Company. I've kept the peak as #14 in the Hit Music chart, however the correct peak of #13 is shown in the OCC chart run.

COMING HOME FOR CHRISTMAS
+ SANTA BABY (B Side)
Non-album single
Note: Coming Home for Christmas and Santa Baby was initially released as a 2-Track Digital Download on 15th November 2019.
A 2-Track CD single followed on 10th December 2019, released with the title "Live at the Royal Albert Hall". 1000 copies of this limited edition release were available for a short time via her official store. This CD doesn't have a barcode, meaning that sales data would not have been submitted to Official Charts Company. The sales data below is just downloads and streaming. The title of the CD release is misleading, in that it doesn't actually contain live tracks - it is the studio versions of the aforementioned songs. The item was referred to as being a "Royal Albert Hall CD Programme", despite the fact that this particular version wasn't actually available at the show itself, which took place on 6th December 2019. A https://www.discogs.com/Emma-Bunton-Live-at-Royal-Albert-Hall/release/14498574 of the CD was available from the venue, with only 100 copies being available.

A possible reason for this is that there isn't a digital EP of Melt and Yeh Yeh Yeh together; there are only separate singles of Yeh Yeh Yeh, while Melt is only available to download directly from the Reason album. There are two figures for Yeh Yeh Yeh - one of the figures might be import sales (it was released by itself in Europe).

BETTER ALONE
2nd UK single from 'Beautiful Intentions'

FIRST DAY OF MY LIFE
Non-UK single from 'Beautiful Intentions'
Note: First Day of My Life was initially released as a single exclusively in Germany, Austria and Switzerland on 30th September 2005. The song was used as the opening theme song on the German soap opera Wege zum Glück, and resulted in big success for Melanie C - #1 in Germany and Switzerland and #2 in Austria. It was eventually released elsewhere in Europe, as well as Australia, and included on reissued version of the Beautiful Intentions album. Despite being a hit, it wasn't released as a single in the UK, and Beautiful Intentions wasn't reissued here. It was eventually used as a B Side on the Carolyna single in 2007.

SINGLES
LOOK AT ME
1st single from 'Schizophonic'
Note: The chart from 4th July 1999 suffered from having missing sales data (from Virgin & Our Price stores), which resulted in an inaccurate chart being aired/published. This affected Look at Me in its 8th week on sale, which was originally shown to be #48. In February 2015, the correct chart was published via the Official Charts website, and it was revealed that 'Look at Me' should have placed at #52! I've kept the position as being #48 in its "Hit Music" chart run, but for the OCC chart run I've changed that 8th week position to #52. See Mel B's 'Word Up' entry for further details about this incorrect chart.

The Spices really weren't that big.
They fall from like 2 to 10 and then to 20 the next week :/
They were a hype band. Once the hype died, so did their sales
Looking at the sales, they clearly were massive for their first 2 eras.
I think it's a bit of a reach to say they weren't that big. First week sales of 2 Become 1 of over 429,000 copies in an era with no downloads or streaming suggests that actually, they were. 429,000 physical CD sales in one week is just astronomical sales by any standard. Achieving that NOW with downloads and streaming would be a mean feat let alone back then without them. How many acts have sold 429,000 copies of a single (sales ONLY) recently? Ed Sheeran? Possibly the only one? Maybe Despacito? Look how long they both had to be number 1 before getting anywhere near that sales only total.
The SG had the best selling Comic Relief single of the 90's despite both Mama and Who Do You Think You Are featuring on the album that had already been out over four months by that point.
Even after Geri left, with Goodbye, they still managed over 330,000 sales in their first week. It was also, up until recently because of streams, their fourth biggest selling single.
Yes, they made a huge mistake leaving it so long between Goodbye and Holler, and yes, they did lose a lot of sales because of this. However, suggesting they weren't that big is a controversial claim especially when the sales speak for themselves.
Preach *.* They were huge, it's undeniable.
I'll do my best to fully update the solo sections soon, I ran out of steam after completing the group section!
Wow so interesting to see how huge they really were! Where did you get the Top 200 runs?
heartbreaking the way Headlines was managed. Such a beautiful song and still played loads by me. Wish they just did one release date and at least they would have gotten a #5
Yay Jay's sales thread survives the demise of Denden
Thanks for save Jay's sales topic, it's really useful
Do you need top 40 chartruns (for Emma and Geri) from other countries ?
We have sales updates for Wannabe & 2 Become 1!
Wannabe
1,385,211 - Pure sales
0,160,276 - Streaming equivalent sales
1,545,488 - Overall total
2 Become 1
1,137,775 - Pure sales
0,043,878 - Streaming equivalent sales
1,181,653 - Overall total
In the UK's Official Chart 'millionaires' list, Wannabe places 81st while 2 Become 1 is 188th. If we only took into account their actual pure sales, Wannabe would be 56th & 2 Become 1 109th.
Since the OCC started to include streaming data in 2014...
2 Become 1 = 4,387,800 streams
Wannabe = 16,027,600 streams

(Date = when the sales figure was revealed)
Pleasingly up-to-date! Nice to have all but one of their singles have a sales figure from within the last 12 months! All of them include streaming, apart from Holler and possibly Headlines, but I doubt the streaming contribution for either of these songs is particularly significant anyway.
Awesome, thanks!
Shame about Holler being so low. Criminally underrated.
And I feel like it will be a matter of time till Say You'll Be There AND Spice Up Your Life pass the million mark
Am I right to think that if that happens they will be the only group in history to ever get to 4 million sellers??!!
I can't believe that the GH album sold more in the first week then FOREVER .
Really surprised by this .
Ps I'm gonna go download Say you'll be there and Spice up your lifeon itunes so give them an extra sale lol
26/09/2017 - 991,789 - Say You'll Be There
126/09/2017 - 910,001 - Spice Up Your Life
2 become 1 should surely be certified 2 x platinum this Christmas. Its streams go through the roof over xmas and streaming is just growing and growing.
Jay Boy you lazy biatch get this thread updated!
I really need to!! Will try and find a moment asap *.*
Do you have the top 200 for England united single and It's only rock n roll?
Thanks
'Spice Up Your Life' is the http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/official-charts-flashback-1997-spice-girls-spice-up-your-life__20793/ this week.
So SUYL has 'sold' 22k in 7 months. I guess we can assume SYBT has crossed the million mark now then.
Thanks for posting, Liam! That's a nice increase! I wonder when SUYL will become a "millionaire" - maybe in another couple of years at this rate?
We have a new total for Greatest Hits - 515,397
(Sorry that I've not fully updated this thread for months, it's a bit of a daunting task... I'll try and get it done, slowly but surely).
I'm impressed!
It might actually be able to go double platinum if they keep promoting during the year. (and toss it up on Spotify)
Making it available on Spotify UK again really should be a top priority for their label! GH's total sales figure would have been a lot bigger than 515k if it had remained available, and it's likely missing out on spending many weeks inside the UK albums Top 200. *
This week it sold 1,312 copies [610 Downloads, 540 Streaming Units (the majority of this must come from Apple Music) & 162 CDs].
* Its sales increased by 161.4% this week, which means it sold 502 copies the week before. It took 759 copies to make it into the Top 200 that week. So if it was on Spotify, its weekly sales would likely be enough for it to make the Top 200 without any effort. Frustrating!
Do we know where the GH charted this week?
Also, the forum is no.1 AGAIN, for a second week running now!
Awesome that it has passed the half a million mark I'm well chuffed with that considering in it's initial run it only went platinum and now it is closer to double platinum that platinum. Fingers crossed that the girls get their act together and tour this year to try push the GH over the double platinum border. Getting it on Spotify would help too, but actually I think it's more credit to them that they have achieved this mainly on physicals and downloads alone, you go girls!
The GH going double platinum this year would be great. Seems a tough ask but it went to #81 and sold 1.3k off the back of a photo. A proper announcement and it on Spotify and whatever they do do could really give it a huge push, especially if it coincides with xmas.
can't believe i only just saw the total.
AMAZING.
515k is incredible when it was just over platinum at the end of the reunion tour. I hope that any new package this year is a re-release with enhancements rather than a whole new product, so that they can keep building on it.
A reissue with a vinyl edition of the main disc and a CD/Download/Stream release with a bonus disc of tracks (some of the amazing b-sides such as 'Walk of Life' and 'Take Me Home' with some unreleased tracks 'Spice Is Back', 'Angels', 'Song For Her', 'Woman' etc)
Yeah I think a re-issue with a bonus CD and a vinyl is the way forwards. They are unlikely to sell alot of a brand new GH (as only die hard fans will buy a second one), wheres a re-issue will count towards the sales of the current GH and should easily push it over double platinum.
I mean, the GH shifts around 20k per year at this point without being available on Spotify, so just them being active and actually doing things should be able to push it to double platinum. Their priority for it should be to get it on Spotify, get it re-stocked in supermarkets, get it on vinyl and a bonus disc. Somewhat in that order.
Did the GH chart again on Friday? I cant seem to find the info...
Yes #154.
Thank you xx
Greatest Hits manages a third week in the Top 200 this year, falling to #191! Total sales now stand at 517,009.
Keep going GH Mother's day soon, Mama will hopefully keep it selling over the next couple of weeks. Then hopefully an announcement.
BPI confirms that 2 Become 1 has gone 2x Platinum with sales of 1.2 million 😃
Fantastic news, it’s about time!
Btw, Greatest Hits climbs up to #175 this week - 4th week in the chart this year!
Amazing, thanks for the info JAY!
Wonder if Say You'll Be There will sooooooooon be known to have passed the 1million mark #WeAreReadyForIt
I am really irritated at not getting SYBT updates!!!
The problem is SYBT is another 200k+ plus away from 2x Platinum so unless there's another million sellers article or a Spice anniversary article on the Official Charts page, we may not know for a while
I have some solo Spice Girls singles sales =
Thanks for posting, SamJudd. I have amendments for some of those sales!
All of the following sales figures were revealed in June 2009, unless otherwise stated:
Emma Bunton Singles & Albums posts on the first page are now completed! I'm sorry it's taking me so long to complete this thread; I still haven't posted the information for Melanie C & Geri Halliwell. A work in progress!
While I was adding Emma info, I discovered a relatively recent sales total for Life in Mono! Official Charts Company revealed it had sold 53,510 copies as of 25th April 2016. They mentioned this in the comments section of http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/number-1-this-week-in-2001-emma-buntons-debut-solo-single-hits-the-top__14532/. Its previously known total was 50,725 as of 21st June 2009. That's an increase of 2,785 copies in just under 7 years.
Life In Mono will go Silver eventually! (Or not)
I didn’t realise that Lift Me Up outsold Look At Me
Has life in mono been certified silver for shipments?
Unfortunately not! 'Victoria Beckham' wasn't certified either. However 'Hot' is certified silver based on shipments (in fact it was certified 11 days after release, lol).
Oh so both could sneak over a silver cert eventually. In like 2030 lol
Did the GH make it to another week in the chart?
^ #177 this week!
148 sold 877 copies, so id imagine its between 750-850?
Smashing it. Your faves could never!
Greatest Hits is on course to spend a 6th week inside the UK album charts this year! Glad that it is building up a longer chart run. I'm certain it'd be a permanent fixture in the charts if it was actually on Spotify It's doing very well to stay in the charts based on CDs, downloads and primarily Apple Music when it comes to the streaming.

Was Melanie B lucky to reach number 1 in 1998 with only 86,000 sales ?
Still can’t believe less than 8000 people purchased her album in the first week of sales .
Fairly lucky! If you were to rank the 52 weeks of #1 sales from 1998, Mel B was the 44th highest. 39 of those 52 weeks required 100k+ to be #1.
Some more info: The first week sales of Goodbye (380,711) made it the fastest selling single of 1998, and Viva Forever was the second highest sales figure with 277,911! Stop entered at #2 with 115,000, which was more copies than 22 weeks of 1998 #1s sold.
Incredible sales for both Goodbye and viva forever .
Viva forever was on album that had sold well over 2 million . I guess Geri leaving created the buzz.
Why could have been if they released new album late in 1999. But then again we probably wouldn’t have had the masterpiece that is NS.
Simon Fuller might be playing the long game with not putting it on Spotify yet - since it is yet to get out of the Top200, they are probably racking up a bit of actual sales (so cashing a bit in) instead of the meager Spotify sales that come from streams... Not that it matters too much, but just thought about that now...
It is 2018 you are only shooting yourself in the foot not having an album on Spotify.
People who stream music don't rush out to buy an album that isn't there. Plus the studio albums are so 5.2m people a month are still listening to Spice girls on spotify just the GH isn't getting any streaming sales from it.
Seems like the GH is in danger of falling out of the chart this week, unfortunately, but I have to say - 6 weeks of re-entry is far more than I'd anticipated! When you consider what prompted this was a reunion photo on Instagram.

Amazing.
Thanks Jay!! *.*
Spice managing to hold off Paul McCartney!
excellent work, when also the chart run of geri and melanie c?
Spiceworld was tiny in comparison.
The bubble burst quickly.
Does anyone have any idea of 'how does it feel' sold in the UK?
It sold 92,000 in 1998, unfortunately no updates since then!
Melanie C - I Turn to You has been certified Gold! That means it's sold over 400,000 units in the UK. (Physicals, downloads and streaming combined).
What did it sell when originally released ?
I Turn to You:
End of 2000: 338,000
June 2009: 360,477
June 2017: 384,000
I think the 2017 figure was only physicals & downloads... it's nice to know for sure that it's sold 400k+ now.
That's likely to be her final certification update, all of her other releases are too far away from the next level up, unfortunately.
~~~~~
Here's how things stand with the Spice Girls' UK certified awards (and this should roughly be the order of best selling to worst):
SINGLES
Wannabe (Spice Girls)
2 Become 1 (Spice Girls)
Say You'll Be There (Spice Girls)
Spice Up Your Life (Spice Girls)
Goodbye (Spice Girls)
When You're Gone (Melanie C)
Mama / Who Do You Think You Are (Spice Girls)
Viva Forever (Spice Girls)
Too Much (Spice Girls)
It's Raining Men (Geri Halliwell)
Never Be the Same Again (Melanie C)
Stop (Spice Girls)
Out of Your Mind (Victoria Beckham)
I Turn to You (Melanie C)
Mi Chico Latino (Geri Halliwell)
Lift Me Up (Geri Halliwell)
Look at Me (Geri Halliwell) 1
What Took You So Long? (Emma Bunton)
Holler / Let Love Lead the Way (Spice Girls)
Bag It Up (Geri Halliwell)
I Want You Back (Mel B)
What I Am (Emma Bunton)
Northern Star (Melanie C)
1 Shipments of over 400,000 means that Look at Me is certified Gold, but it's actually sold less than that [326,000 as of June 2017]. It seems her label vastly overestimated demand for the physical release! Interestingly it's sold less than Lift Me Up [346,000] and Mi Chico Latino [383,000] (both as of June 2017), but both of these are Silver. I'm pretty certain that none of these figures include streaming, although I doubt Look at Me has done enough streams to have even overtaken Lift Me Up's pure sales yet, let alone be anywhere close to genuinely being over 400,000. Anyway, I've positioned Look at Me below Lift Me Up in the above list, despite its misleading certification.
Other Notes
Stop was on 420,200 as of March 2017, while Never Be the Same Again was on 431,477 in March 2016. Stop will definitely be getting higher streaming sales contribution in the UK than Never Be the Same Again, but who knows whether it might have overtaken it in total sales yet... therefore I've kept NBTSA higher in the above list.
It won't be long until I Turn to You overtakes Out of Your Mind, because OOYM isn't available to stream in the UK (at least it isn't on Spotify, not sure about other services).
What Took You So Long? had sold 269,737 as of April 2016, including streaming, while Holler had sold 260,000 as of May 2015, not including streaming. Hard to know for sure whether Holler is likely to have overtaken, but without this knowledge I've placed WTYSL? higher up.
Bag It Up had sold 260,000 as of March 2015; Holler 260k as of May 2015! I think it's highly likely that Holler has outsold it, particularly with streaming taken into account.
I Want You Back had sold 226,000 as of June 2017, while What I Am had sold 224,000 up to the same point in time. I think neither of these include streaming figures, and I expect What I Am would be higher if streaming was included. Given we don't have that information, I'm keeping I Want You Back higher up in the above list.
ALBUMS
Spice (Spice Girls) 1
Spiceworld (Spice Girls)
Northern Star (Melanie C) 2
Schizophonic (Geri Halliwell) 3
Greatest Hits (Spice Girls)
Forever (Spice Girls) 4
Scream If You Wanna Go Faster (Geri Halliwell)
Free Me (Emma Bunton)
A Girl Like Me (Emma Bunton)
Reason (Melanie C)
Hot (Mel B) 5
1 Shipments of over 3,000,000 means that Spice is certified 10xPlatinum, but it's actually sold less than that [2,940,000 as of July 2016]
2 Shipments of over 900,000 means that Northern Star is certified 3xPlatinum, but it's actually sold less than that [890,150 as of October 2016]
3 Shipments of over 600,000 means that Schizophonic is certified 2xPlatinum, but it's actually sold less than that [483,853 as of June 2009] - I assume that Spice Girls - Greatest Hits has outsold it [519,381 as of March 2018], but given that we don't know this for certain, I've placed Schizophonic higher in the above list.
4 Shipments of over 300,000 means that Forever is certified Platinum, but it's actually sold less than that [266,000 as of May 2015]
5 Shipments of over 60,000 means that Hot is certified Silver, but it's actually sold less than that [52,976 as of June 2009]
~~~~~
I think that's everything! Let me know if there's any oversights or errors.
When it comes to future certification upgrades...
I would assume Mi Chico Latino going Gold (400,000) is the most likely next certification update to occur. It kept up the pace with I Turn to You in terms of physicals/downloads, although it doesn't have the same strength on streaming. It should pass over eventually though.
Wannabe going 3xPlatinum (1,800,000) is a strong possibility. It was on 1,545,488 in September 2017, so it still has a way to go, but it achieves a huge number of streams... so it should be achievable!
Less likely, but maybe we'll see Say You'll Be There becoming 2xPlatinum someday, and It's Raining Men becoming Platinum. Both do quite well on streaming, but it'll probably take many years.
I don't think any other singles are likely to become certified silver, or upgrade their current certification level.
When it comes to the albums, Greatest Hits going 2xPlatinum is the most likely update, although with it not being on Spotify that will unfortunately take a lot longer than it would if it was available there - frustrating! As of March 2018 it was still 80,000 away from the target of 600k. Life in Mono and Victoria Beckham both sold over 50k+ but I doubt either will make it to 60k to become Silver.
Great information 👍🏻
great news,but i would like to have the information also of geri and mel c uk chart run and sales first week please!!!
Greatest Hits is back in the Top 200! Re-enters at #197. We have a new sales total of: 524,503.
Really sorry that I still haven't added the Geri/Melanie C info, I know I keep promising, and I will do it asap
A new total for Say You'll Be There - 1,011,199 It's a "millionaire" seller, finally.
Woo! So 19,411 copies sold since 28th July - that's about 431 copies a week so it must have passed 1m around the New Year.
Does that figure include streams tho ?
Still amazing news
Agreed, it would be nice if every few months they revealed a new batch of 'millionaires', if not a full update.
Biffco is claiming that Say you'll be there and 2 become 1 have sold a million in the USA aswell.... I certainly hope so!
Loved reading the sales sales and chart stats for these - will Mel C & Geri's stats be updated anytime soon?
Glad that you like the thread! I've certainly been procrastinating when it comes to Melanie C & Geri but I really need to get a move on and add the info - I'll try and find a moment asap
Cheers Jay - Yeah, it's super interesting - They truly were a phenomenon. Very shocked to see how poor Mel B did in general - but the 2 biggest Spices are left to come
I wonder if we'll ever get an update on the SPICEWORLD album and all of the Spiceworld singles.
http://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/football-anthems-that-scored-big-on-the-charts__23344/
Official Charts have revealed that 'How Does It Feel To Be On Top Of The World' has sold 94,000 copies! That's the first time we've had official confirmation. At the end of 1998 it was estimated to have sold 92k, as the 179th best seller of that year.
Interestingly the Daily Mail have done an article about it - http://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-5941527/World-Cup-anthem-featuring-Spice-Girls-David-Beckham-resurfaces-online.html
By the way, the song isn't available to download or stream, so those 94k sales are purely physicals.
Does anybody have any updated sales of the GH?
Thank you
please update the chart run and sales of mel c e geri has been done a great job would be a pity that they are missing two!!
I've now added the album chart runs for Geri & Melanie C I'll work on the singles another time!
Thanks!! a great job as always, we wait for the singles
Official Charts commented on my Instagram post regarding the anniversary of the VB album this week. They said it's sold 52,685 copies so far
I wish VB and Hot were both Silver or even Gold by now.
50 copies in 9 years?
That would mean only 50 copies sold in 9 years and 4 months, given the June 2009 figure for it is 52,635.
That doesn’t make sense to me, particularly as it sold 2 copies last week alone. At that sort of rate (which is evidently really low) it should have shifted at least 1,000 copies in that period of time without much trouble at all, particularly with streaming sales helping it along for the past few years.
Life in Mono sold 2,785 copies in the 6 years and 10 months that went by since its June 2009 figure, by comparison.
I had a look back and VB was on sales of 52,016 as of September 2007. Therefore it achieved 619 sales in 1 year & 9 months (to become 52,635 in June 2009).
In light of OCC’s figure today I had wondered if the 52k+ figure from 2009 might have been a typo, but the 2007 figure also being 52k+ suggests that it was right.
But yeah, 50 copies in 9 years makes no sense based on that 2007 to 2009 trajectory. It can’t have slowed down that much. It’s always been constantly available to download and stream.
Spice has sold 2.96m to date, including streams. https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/the-uks-biggest-studio-albums-of-all-time__24431/
excellent news, almost 3 million, of geri and mel c to when the update of the singles!?
^ I've now added Look at Me, Mi Chico Latino, Lift Me Up and Bag It Up. Will try and continue completing Geri's singles tomorrow.
Thanks for those, Jay! Also, regarding the note on 'Bag It Up', I understand "[pr]" to mean promo CD too - Kylie's 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' charted at #179 due to this and zobbel marks this with "[pr]" too.
Great! Thank you so much Jay
Thanks for the update/your hard work
Jay please also complete Melanie c chart runs
OCC (sort of) confirm that 'Say You'll Be There' is a million seller:
The OCC has updated some of the single's figures:
https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/spice-girls-top-10-biggest-singles-on-the-official-chart__24651/
Wannabe is now at 1.61million
2 Become 1 is now on 1.21million
Who Do You Think You Are is now on 763,000
Viva Forever is now on 726,000
Holler is on 280,000
STRANGE that they did a list of their most successful singles and it doesnt meantion the numbers for the other singles. Would have been nice to know where Say You'll Be There, Stop, Goodbye and Spice Up Your Life are at the moment.
I think SUYL might go over 1million at some point next year
Thanks to OCC / Karma!

gabry - I'll try and add Melanie C's singles soon, don't worry I will get around to it.
wow good sales! haha thanks Jay sorry if I'm insistent but I'm too curious and you did a great job
Updated the Spice Girls' album/singles posts to include the latest sales. Greatest Hits re-entered at #69!
#69 is ok! Was hoping for something much higher but streaming is too strong against them... ah well..
Other positions this week:

Music Week has revealed Greatest Hits has sold 535,390 copies; 23,690 sold this year with streaming accounting for 62.2% of sales.
Hopefully it will reach 2x platinum once the tour starts
They really need to get their shit together and stock the CD in supermarkets ASAP! Or create further incentives for it to be sold...
Grestest hits is Number 22 in the mid weeks and Spice is number 75.

Find it strange how their Greatest Hits barely got any chart activity until after the boost from the Olympics. Had it appeared on the budget chart at all?
Nope it never appeared in the budget chart!
It's so odd, but at the same time, their profile wasn't massive... and I think their treatment of the last tour, like a fairwell, made people think it was over. And then it all went quiet until 2012 so...
They did barely any promo for the GH at the time. I feel like the GH is more popular nowadays and their profile is much bigger... Plus, over the last few years, the 90s are kind of back again so they have become quite a cool act again..

Seems so bizarre to see Spice Girls doing best on streaming!
How come Spiceworld didn't sell any physicals this week? It doesn't seem right.
It's going to be interesting to watch this final run up to the Greatest Hits going 2xPlatinum. It's pretty much guaranteed to happen sooner or later now.
I really hope it manages it! If the streaming could hold up that would certainly be helpful. It's sold 541,900 now, so 58,100 to go.
Some other updated sales, as of 16th Nov:
2,963,975 - Spice
1,593,889 - Spiceworld
1,620,850 - Wannabe
1,020,000 - Say You'll Be There
973,000 - Spice Up Your Life
910,000 - Goodbye (perhaps the 918,000 figure from a couple of weeks back was wrong, it did strike me as being a bit high considering how poorly this song does on streaming)
729,000 - Viva Forever
707,000 - Too Much
468,000 - Stop
55,000 - Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)
https://www.facebook.com/groups/denden2.0/permalink/737144613338949/ for the rounded figures.
It seems likely that Spice Up Your Life could become a "millionaire" by summer 2019, just in time for the concerts!
The new Wannabe figure of 1,620,850 is again only taking into account the lower pure sales figure, rather than the higher pure sales that were used in OCC's millionaires article from September 2017. If we regard 1,620,850 as Wannabe's sales, then I think it would likely reach 1.8m (3xPlatinum) by the end of 2019. If the higher pure sales were used, then I think it would have crossed over 1.8m in spring 2019.
I'm thinking that Stop should be able to make it to platinum within the next 5 years! I think it'll reach Platinum sooner than Say You'll Be There would reach 2xPlatinum.
This return could push spice over the 3 million which would be great although I never realised spice world more or less only sold half the amount of their debut although for me spice world is the better album.
Wow at their sales!!!
Especially albums wise for a Girl band they’re incredible.
Singles sales also fantastic and should rise with the reunion.
I was a baby when they were at their peak so I never realised how huge they really were until this reunion.
The Spice Girls Greatest Hits album is up 37 places this week to #41 on this weeks Official Irish Album chart! 🇮🇪🎤
http://www.irma.ie/#chartTab2
I just purchased 3 copies of their Greatest Hits for Christmas Presents.
I purchased them on hmv online as part of the £10 for 2 cd's and purchasing a Take That cd to make up my 4th purchase.
Back in the Irish Top 40 this week, moving up to #38! In the UK it is down to #81 this week.
As of yesterday, the Greatest Hits CD is in a HMV promotion - you can buy it for just £2.99 alongside any purchase you make. CDs in this deal are usually positioned by the till, so everybody who buys something in HMV will be asked if they're interested in buying anything in that offer, so will likely see the Greatest Hits prominently! Hopefully a lot of people will fancy buying it.

Looks like the Greatest Hits could claim one of the positions in the 50s this week, its midweek positions so far have been 52-52-51.
it's like spice girls album bingo!
Greatest Hits climbed to #54! 3,825 sales [3,046 physicals / 147 downloads / 632 streaming]. Fingers crossed the physical sales remain strong next week too! New total: 549,511
Also:
Albums Sales: #46
Physical Albums: #46
Album Downloads: #94
A pity physicals and streams couldn't have been strong at the same time!
Hope hmv keep the 2.99 offer till Xmas. Really just want the GH to be double plat now it is so close. Passing 550k (probably today) will be nice as we can then count down the last 50k.
This will certainly help, stocked in my local Sainsburys finally and only 5 quid.
Forever was such a flop!! No wonder they quit the group after it was released.
Greatest Hits is number 48 in the midweek chart made available today.
Our successful Queens! The £2.99 HMV deal is helping loads 88.4% of their sales so far this week are physicals. (1,952 cds, 62 downloads, 193 streaming = 2,207)
GOSH I WISH STREAMS WERE AS GOOD!!
Thanks for the updates xx
Jay look forward to Melanie c's chart run and sales as a Christmas present! ahahah
^ I'll tryyyyy and get it done this week!
Greatest Hits is up to #47 and sold 5,080 4,399 physicals, 105 downloads and 576 streaming. It now has a total of 554,591.
Hopefully we should see the album exceed 560,000 next week.
YAY
A nice start this week, midweek #45.
This really is the week to stream/buy/download the GH be great to see it top 40 on the xmas album chart 2018.
Maybe we should start a countdown to the Greatest Hits At 2xPlatinum.
If they had arranged or managed to secure a promotional slot over Christmas they would have attracted extra sales.
The Greatest Hits will reach double platinum at some point next year.
Ideally, the tour will give huge interest and really sell the album easily past 600,000.
Greatest Hits had a good week this week! It climbs to #44 on sales of 5,851 (5,136 CDs, 588 streaming, 127 downloads). This takes its total sales to 560,442!
Hopefully this week coming can provide another 5k+ sales. Then it's a question of how quickly it'll be able to do the ~35k that'll be required to take it to Double Platinum. I really hope the £2.99 CD deal lasts into the New Year, because that has clearly been a huge help. Perhaps it'll be able to do 600k by the time of the concerts?
2018 has given a nice boost to the Greatest Hits not only in terms of sales (48,742 sold this year), but also to the weeks inside the chart. It's spent 14 weeks in the Top 200 this year, taking its total weeks to 45. Its time in the Top 100 has increased to 25 weeks, up from 17. It's now on 20 weeks inside the Top 75, up from 14.

Thank you Jay! As ever, you da baddest charts babe on da webs
I do wonder how much Spice / Spice World / Forever managed to sell after the announcement. I know probably like 20 copies each (if that) but would be nice to check. Also, they should TOTALLY put all their albums at super cheap prices online so they sell. No1 is going to buy them at normal prices when they have the Greatest Hits at 5.99...
Like the current iTunes promotion of 'cheap albums' could totally include Spice World and Forever for instance... ANYWAY lol I just noticed that I cant see how much it is selling for on iTunes as I've bought them already and it just says 'purchased' on the link rather than the price... grumble lol
£4.99 for Spice, £4.99 for Spiceworld and £3.99 for Forever!
In the Fri 16th November chart, Spice had sold 114 CDs, 217 downloads and 985 from streaming / Spiceworld 163 downloads and 635 from streaming. Sadly no physical sales for Spiceworld. It's a pity that the record label has effectively deleted Spiceworld - there's no new copies available on Amazon. The label only bothers keeping Spice in stock out of their studio albums, that's the only one available in HMV.
Hard to know how many downloads of their studio albums in ordinary weeks, wouldn't surprise me if it's less than 10 downloads a week at the moment.
Ah! Thanks for this Jay - how can you see the prices? Ive been trying to find but cant...
Shame then that the albums are so cheap but no promo at all (like, no inclusion on cheap lists, etc) as they would certainly shift more copies. SPICE is really their alma matter but honestly people know about Spiceworld at least. A shame that doesnt get any attention whatsoever... I wonder - HOPE - they will do something with their albums around the tour. It's a bit embarrasing how they never give their releases any attention anymore...
I'm not sure they care about selling a thing but Spice, the GH and Spice World the movie tbh.
All are in stock/print, Spice having the CD and Vinyl in print.
Yeah. A shame though...
The guy from Modest! was talking about how he hopes EMI will do something around the tour dates to celebrate, so that gives me a bit of hope something at least will be re-released, at the very least...
It would be a crime if they didn't release a Spice world vinyl. I can foresee another GH too this time with a 2nd disc of b-sides and rarities.
I'm sure that is why they are happy to sell off stock of the current GH now.
Greatest Hits up to #43 officially!
Also:
#40 in the Sales Chart
#39 in the Physical Albums Chart
Hopefully get sales tomorrow. It should have passed 565k in total sales now though. 35k to go to double plat.
https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/albums-turning-20-in-2019__25004/
892,000 sales for Northern Star as of 28th December 2018. Last update we had for it was 890,150 - 28th October 2016, so not particularly strong sales since then.
Northern star will get triple platinum eventually
It's Northern Star's 20th anniversary this year, maybe Mel will do something about it? Nice that it was included in that throwback article. It is a shame cos it is a great album and deserves a bit more recognition.
I hope it gets a re-release. Personally, would love to have it on Vinyl but will not hold my breath for that ah!
A re release for the 20th anniversary would be great. It could be worth adding a bonus greatest hits CD to it as combined it could get noticed.
Greatest Hits adds another week to its chart run at Number 52 this week.
+ and its total sales are now 568,091! It sold 2,570 copies this week. (It sold 5,079 last week to be #43)
#95 (re-entry) in the Album Downloads Chart
#45 in the Albums Sales Chart
#43 in the Physical Albums Chart
Meanwhile, Spice is a new entry at #24 in the Vinyl Albums Chart!
It's great to see they can sell on lots of different formats. Fingers crossed the record company see this too and have plans for May.
Sadly the £2.99 offer in HMV ended this week. It's back to being included in the 2 for £10 deal though.
Sad the 2.99 deal has ended but thanks to it and some great xmas sales it's a case of when not if the GH goes double platinum this year.
Hopefully it wont sink without a trace. It is hanging on ok on itunes, although yes I am aware that this means f*** all lol
Number 81, this should net at least 1500 further sales this week.
It is a shame it if falling but there is nothing to keep it afloat. The 2.99 offer stopped and the girls seemingly gone into hiding.
Greatest Hits -
Out of the Album Downloads Chart
#55 in the Album Sales Chart
#53 in the Physical Albums Chart
Spice has left the Vinyl Albums Chart Top 40
Greatest Hits has now sold 569,633, including 1,542 this week.
570,000 is a big jump from the 300 odd thousand they sold back in 2007, really pleased the GH has continued to be a fairly consistent seller.
It's always good for acts to have an easily available g hits as they continue to sell in small numbers over long periods.
It is the continuous sales over long periods that now make Greatest Hits releases a success as they dont draw the big numbers like they once did.
That said, Take That managed 100,000 + opening sales of their recent Greatest Hits and managed one of the highest weekly sales of the year.
In recent times we see such sets from Bob Marley, Abba, Fleetwood Mac, Queen sell continuously.
Taking out the recent film releases Abba and Queen were still chart regulars with their Greatest Hits sets.
Take that did do a concert bundle though.
The GH will be double plat by the time the tour rolls round and it's becoming a bit of an iconic album.
I remember a lot of fans were annoyed at the cover not being a pic of them but the cover is perfect. 11 years on it doesnt look dated and it still stands out. Would look amazing on a vinyl.
All it needs to do now is sell an average of 1000 copies for the next 30 weeks... quick, someone get Gerita to show her tits for publicity!
The cover of the Greatest Hits is the least of its problems, I actually quite like it and yes I am glad that it is getting some recognition that failed to get the first time around. Almost doubling its original sales is a great position to be in and hope it will carry on selling beyond this phase.
Just wish they would re-package it with content that is beyond the hits and more interesting stuff like unreleased songs, new mixes, etc. Maybe a vinyl editon as well would have been super nice. They could totally do a HMV-limited edition or something like that, which could be quite cute, appeal to their immediate fan base as well as the occasional buyer without loosing money.
jay please put the chart run and sales of melanie c only you can do a good job
^ I know I keep saying it but I will asap! I just haven't felt in the mood to do it yet unfortunately.
~~~
Greatest Hits fell to #130 this week, it sold 1,062. It's now on 570,694 sales. I'm really impatient for it to sell 600k+, but at this rate it will take another 6 months to get there (and it's probably going to sell less over the coming weeks). Presumably the sales will increase a lot during the tour though, so hopefully it will manage double platinum by then.
Greatest Hits is #90 in the Sales Chart this week, and #93 in the Physical Chart.
Something that may be of interest - these are the sales that the Greatest Hits achieved in its first 11 weeks of sale:
Week / Date / Position / Weekly Figure / Total
01. 18/11 - #02 - 75,787 (75,800)
02. 25/11 - #07 - 47,172 (122,972)
03. 02/12 - #12 - 40,090 (163,062)
04. 09/12 - #13 - 44,269 (207,331)
05. 16/12 - #22 - 42,928 (250,259)
06. 23/12 - #27 - Estimate: 52,158 (Estimate: 302,417)
07. 30/12 - #29 - Estimate: 23,550 (325,967)
08. 06/01 - #34 - 8,949 (334,916)
09. 13/01 - #36 - 6,534 (341,451)
10. 20/01 - #39 - 5,554 (347,005)
11. 27/01 - #41 - 4,844 (351,849)
There was no official info for 23/12 and 30/12 charts, but I managed to work out some estimations:
On 06/01, its sales of 8,949 was said to be a percentage decrease of -62% compared to the previous week, which gives a figure of 23,550 for 30/12. However, that percentage is either rounded up or down (i.e. its actual percentage decrease could have been anywhere from 61.50% to 62.49%), so its sales on 30/12 could have been anything from 23,245 to 23,857. I've just accepted it as being 23,550 though and I'm referring to it as being an estimate.
I've worked out an estimated weekly figure for 23/12 by doing this: Subtracting 23,550 from the known overall total on 30/12 of 325,967, which gives an estimated 23/12 total of 302,417. Subtracting the official 16/12 total of 250,259 from 302,417 = 52,158 (again, this could easily be a few hundred sales out from what it actually sold, but it's good enough for an estimate).
So that 52,158 at #27 was the Greatest Hits' second best selling week (that was Christmas week). It's a pity that the Greatest Hits wasn't one of the more desirable purchases that Christmas time (in that it was outsold by 26 other albums). Dare I say that I feel the Greatest Hits under-performed somewhat in 2007... at least you'd think on paper that a Spice Girls Greatest Hits album would have been more successful than the above chart run it achieved.
As a matter of interest, the Christmas week Top 10 sales figures:
286,437 Leona Lewis (1)
219,852 Westlife (2)
155,899 Michael Buble (3)
132,376 Andrea Bocelli (4)
119,040 Eagles (5)
116,042 Led Zeppelin (6)
111,434 Shayne Ward (7)
108,971 Take That (8)
106,212 Amy Winehouse - Deluxe Edition (9)
103,587 Amy Winehouse (10)
Unfortunately I don't have any information for its 12th/13th/14th weeks in the chart (its final 3 weeks of its first chart entry). I would estimate this though:
12. 03/02 - #67 - ~3,000 (~354,900)
13. 10/02 - #107 - ~1,900 (~356,800)
14. 17/02 - #138 - ~1,400 (~358,200)
It would have then sold less than 900 copies on 24/02 to not be Top 200, so it left the chart on sales of under 360,000. The final date of their UK tour was 26th January 2008, and their final tour date overall (in Toronto, Canada) took place on 26th February 2008, after which the Spice Girls parted company. So the Greatest Hits leaving the UK chart coincided with the end of that "Return of the Spice Girls" era.
On 19th August 2012, the GH was on a total of 413,129. It sold 5,708 copies that week, which means it had sold 407,421 by the 12th August chart (the date of their Olympics performance). 358,200 to 407,421 means it sold approx 49,000 copies during their four and a half years of inactivity as a group.
Interesting read Jay. I think with the GH 2 things stopped it being big when it was first released. Firstly in 2007 nostalgia wasnt a factor yet for 90s music, 2007 was too close to the 90s to have everyone having those warm fuzzy feelings over their songs.
Secondly a heck of a lot of people owned Spice and Spice World so the GH was a bit pointless.
Things I think that are helping it now, those Spice and Spice World CDs are long since thrown away so a new copy of the GH or streaming it on Spotify are helping its sales. Also there is a new generation that has come along who can be introduced to their music and the GH is the starting point usually.
Also 90s nostalgia is huge right now. Hopefully it can finish this year above 700k in sales.
I agree, I think the Greatest Hits would have sold more had the reunion followed off the back of the Olympics, I can't help but wish they did this four piece reunion back then, but nevertheless, I think since the Olympics the girls have cemented themselves as icons and legends with the GP.
I'm glad we had TROTSG but i feel that was just another era now.
I just hope that the girls can get the opportunity to either release the Greatest Hits on reissue with some bonus' or at least a vinyl/repress for the tour to capitalise on the interest.
ok, thanks Jay!
interesting sales of the gh, could you also put the sales in the top 10 of the spice and spiceworld albums?
I would if I could, but I don't have that information unfortunately!
Maybe in the region of 15,000 perhaps? It's a shame there was never information for that!
Does anyone know where the GH fell to this week?
Not yet unfortunately, I’ll be able to find out on Tuesday though!
You da bestest and cutest of babes Jay xx
Cool. Glad it didnt crash out of the chart. Thanks Jay x
It's been pretty steady selling a very similar amount each day for the last 20ish days so it looks to be steady between the 130-150 mark in the charts.
The only frustrating thing is selling 900-1k copies a week now means a slow slog to 600k and double platinum.
Don't suppose there's any new info on 'Spice Up Your Life' is there, Jay? If it's still selling at the same rate it did from the w/e 1st November to w/e 22nd November, it should be 5k away from becoming a millionaire at this point.
This year I'm expecting these to hit milestones -
Greatest Hits 2x plat
Wannabe 3x plat
Spice 3m
Spice up your life 1m
Mi chico latino gold
Life in mono silver
I'm assuming Emma's new album will boost its streaming and a few extra downloads. Plus obviously the Spice girls tour might boost their solo stuff as well.
Also we know for a long while Emma's music was missing from iTunes and spotify. So its sales from 2009 till 2016 would have been hit hard. Thankfully all her music has been on Spotify and itunes the last couple of years.
Pretty certain that Life in Mono wasn’t ever missing from UK stores?
From memory it was Free Me that was missing (for a length of time I can’t remember, the receipts would have been on DenDen forum, tut... but it’s been available again here for quite a few years now), and then A Girl Like Me disappeared for a brief moment maybe a couple of years ago.
I’d say at this stage that Life in Mono would likely require 5k - 5.5k sales to get to 60k. Bear in mind from Oct 2016 to Dec 2018, Northern Star sold less than 2k, and that included Feb 2018 and Nov 2018 “reunion boosts”.
All of their solo albums are poorly streamed & don’t sell well. I don’t think the Spice tour & Emma’s solo return will be enough to see her sell 5k+ of Life in Mono in the space of a year, unfortunately.
I'm sure life in mono was missing for a long time. I swear for a long time it was only girl like me on iTunes, the issue was obviously 19 not bothering with adding either of her albums released by them.
Life in Mono got to #36 in the Album Downloads chart in the week of its release
Greatest Hits climbed 1 place to #148 today! Total sales - 572,620.
It re-enters the Albums Sales chart at #94 (13th week), and re-enters the Physicals Albums chart at #99 (24th week).
Thank you Jay
Yeah it's chart run ( and to be honest, its sales....) has always been a down point. Such a massive group should be selling their GH like hot cakes but here we are lol.. Im glad it has finally achived a decent number of weeks in the charts 🙏🏼 Hope it does continue to build on it, looks promising to linger in the bottom 150-200 for a while at least...
Also, I genuinely thought that it would be selling around the 200-300 by now, in such lower positions. Glad to see it is around the 1000 mark at least. Seems nice for a GH that has zero promotion to it..
What is a bit frustrating is they have social media now and streaming is so important and social media haven't tweeted etc links to streaming the GH on spotify and Apple music.
I'm really not liking their social media either. It comes across like a fan page a lot of the time, save for very occasional behind the scenes stuff. A shame.
The social media seems very lazy right now. Picking a random old photo and posting it with some corny line or lyric takes no effort.
Some facts or stats would be better but obviously take research and effort. Like Spice was number 1 around this time in 1997 a tweet with 'on this day in 1997 Spice spent its 10th week at the top of the UK album chart' and maybe the SYBT video to accompany it or the original Spice TV advert that is on YouTube.
The Greatest Hits is now out of the iTunes 200...
Greatest Hits placed at #164 on Friday! 868 sales last week, 573,488 total. Didn't chart in the Top 100s of the Physical, Sales or Download charts this week.
~
Finally got around to adding some Melanie C singles chart runs. I've added When You're Gone and the five Northern Star singles so far! More to be added soon~
We have to be so thankful for Melanie C for not giving up. I am a huge fan and she has done so well to keep on making new music.
The valentine's playlist was a step in the right direction only it had some ridiculous song choices. Love thing? the song about not wanting a guy, TLC waterfalls?
Maybe they will just turn it into a 90s playlist after Valentine's day.
Greatest Hits climbed to #157 this week! This is its 15th week in the Top 200 since it reentered in November 2018, which is its longest unbroken stretch in the chart! It only managed 14 weeks in its original 2007/8 chart run.
I read on chartplus sheet that first position of Bag it up was the promo. So your guess it is correct!
I think you should include all the uk charts in this topic like alternative, phisical, airplay and so on..
Didn't Desire randomly re-enter a couple of years ago on the physical singles chart, which was obviously 1 copy sold.
Jay can you know the sales of the second week in top 10 of the single northern star of mel c? or have your estimate? Thank you
Oops I forgot to include that! It sold a rather impressive 46,000 to be #9 in its second week.
Ahah Jay do not worry, yes it 's true I never thought he had sold 46,000 incredible I thought it was 20,000 copies! thank you!!!
Finished Melanie C's singles section! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=203971&view=findpost&p=5795674
So many singles not charting
Wasn't really sure what to include on her page and what to exclude.
I haven't included: Let's Love, First Day of My Life, The Moment You Believe, Understand, Rock Me, Let There Be Love or Let's Groove, given that this is a UK charts topic, and all of these singles aren't considered as being UK releases (although I'd say Rock Me is a bit of a grey area considering it was actually released to UK download stores~).
I've included: I Don't Know How to Love Him & Numb (I've noted them as being promotional singles) & Cosmic Shower (noting it as being a charity single). I've also included Cool as You, as well as all of the Version of Me singles. None of these songs charted in the UK official singles chart.
The thing is, I'm wondering whether I should just remove these "did not chart" moments. Maybe this page should only be focusing on what actually charted?
Removing the did not chart will remove half of Mel C's discography 🙈
Thanks for the updates Jay baby x
Those last few Mel C singles info is quite tough reading She really took a nosedive with Reason hey? That album really destroyed her selling power in the UK and has only gotten progressively worse since.
All power to her for continuing to do what she loves!
On the horizon only gets stick because Mel C doesn't like it. It peaked higher on radio than her big comeback single Herw it comes again. It was incredibly radio friendly and a great single choice.
Here it comes again and her very unlikable personality at that time killed her career.
Geri killed her own career, fancy not bothering with a 4th single because the previous one only peak at #7 🙄 She could and should have pushed a 4th single and done a small tour, got the album over 200k sales. She ran away and when she came back it was too long gone.
Circles round the moon would have been a great 4th single, she could have sang it live here and there to build up to a tour
I just think the issue for both Geri and Mel C is that what the public wanted from them and what they themselves wanted were different - both probably wanted to be seen as slightly more "serious" while in Geri's case people wanted high-octane camp pop music and seeing the singles that charted well for Mel C in the Northern Star era, people wanted pure pop music. Neither of them were that willing to ride those trains and missed their opportunity to properly establish themselves as solo artists before starting to branch out.
If the invisioned Disco Sister album had come out in the place of Scream that would've been great. Mel C should've probably released another album with a nice mix of electronic/R&B-infused pop instead of that MOR mess that was Reason.
Interesting because she went POP on Reason and ever since then that didnt go well at all. I think the problem is bad music. Going Down was bad, cringe.
I wonder what it would have been like had she released Suddenly Monday or Gaga as a single instead. Those songs are pop/rock and much better and radio friendly than Going Down by a clear mile.
It sounds quite surprising to me that she went so pop with Reason, and worked with lesser known/worse producers in that album. She had such a great crew for Northern Star that really elevated her talents.
I think the biggest issue for reason is that it's very MOR - it's neither here nor there, it just sort of exists. A bit like Emma's first album where the end result isn't horrible, but just kind of blah.
Jay I was wondering if you could add He Is Not Heavy, He's My Brother for mel c and growfell tower for geri are singles where they participated please
^ I'll get around to that soon, along with England United / Children's Promise songs
Greatest Hits climbed two places to #190 this week, its 55th week in the Top 200 (17th consecutively since it reentered in November 2018). The last time the Spice Girls spent as long as 17 unbroken weeks in the UK albums chart was with Spiceworld, during the final 17 weeks of its first entry - from November 1998 to March 1999!
Was Geri actually on the Grenfell song, I feel like it is one of those things where she said she was but it never actually happened.
She's listed as one of the artists on the official website for the single! Her contribution is undetectable though, given that it's blended in with the numerous other vocalists during the chorus (which could also be said for many of the other artists listed http://artistsforgrenfell.com/about-us/ )
Spice Up Your Life on 989,000 as of last Friday, thanks to Sammy for the info
Last known figure was 973,000 in November 2018. That’s 16,000 sales in 15 weeks! Should mean that it’s a millionaire within 3 months!
Given that it’s only their 5th highest song on Spotify, perhaps Say You’ll Be There, 2 Become 1 and Stop are increasing in sales at a faster rate, if we assume that they’re getting more streams in the UK as well as worldwide. (Obviously Wannabe will be achieving much stronger sales).
It's been interesting to see Spice Up Your Life's sales increases in recent years:
910,000 - 19th March 2017
932,000 - 19th October 2017
966,000 - 1st November 2018
973,000 - 16th November 2018
989,000 - 1st March 2019
Come on Spice up your life, get that million seller!
The solos in this thread depress me slightly! Such a shame seeing the constant decline in success, it was OK when they were at least achieving Gold albums and top 10's but now they can't even chart their singles and the albums can't even sell 10k...
I really hope Stop goes platinum this year, it feels like such an important song in their discography now and it deserves platinum status!
Greatest Hits is #198 this week!
This week hopefully it stays on the chart then we get into mother's day mode which should help with Mama.
I want it to chart the whole year.
Ah yeah, Mama is always a good one at this time of the year. It might get a bit of a bump.
Hopefully the GH stays afloat the Top200 for a while longer eh.
International women's day boosted their streams and they have had a little boost on iTunes and Amazon thanks to Emma today.
Think it should be safe for another week top 200.
I really hope so Still another 11 chart weeks to go until the tour begins, would be a shame if it dips out of the chart before it inevitably gets a big boost.
Stream the GH then 😋
Hopefully the album chart placings should start looking a bit better for future solo projects. Think we can pretty much give up all hope of a single ever charting again unless one of the girls is invited to perform on a current artists song (like Lulu did with Take That in the 90's or a duet like the one with Matt Cardle which managed to gain interest and traction).
Their hardcore fanbases should see them sell a few thousand copies of each album and that's all it takes to get in the top 20 nowadays. Can't see any of the girls bar Melanie C and Emma releasing albums now though, and I have a feeling this will be Emma's last one for a while (if ever). I think Geri has resolutely given up for good now and Melanie B is going to take whatever she can to build up her fortune again... she won't do it through solo music.
^ I wish Mel B would give more solo music a go! Strange to think that For Once In My Life is getting on for 6 years ago. That was quite a random moment, going to the effort of a music video and a bit of promotion, but then didn't bother again. When that song came out I really was hopeful that a third album could materialise.
Just to be more on topic: Greatest Hits is midweek #184 today. I probably shouldn't jinx it but I think it's safe for another Top 200 week (last Wednesday Greatest Hits was midweek #192 but still managed to be #198 on Friday).
GH climbs to mid #182 today!
Ended up at #183! Greatest Hits chart run updated on the first page
It stay top 200 and increasing its chart run is great but I do wish the girls would do something, it would be top 100 for sure if they actually acted like a reformed band.
The majority of appearances and the tour rehearsals for the 2007 reunion kicked off in November, so with the 2019 tour rehearsals starting in April hopefully we’ll get more activity then.
Tour rehearsals start 11th April, should see more activity then!
Greatest Hits fell out of the Top 200 on Friday Ended its 19 week run!
Damn it!
I guess its their fault for not doing more with their reunion leading up to the gigs.
BUT on the plus side Forever is at #1 (in Jordan)
http://www.icharts.co.za/jo/music/topalbums
Greatest Hits is back in the chart after a two week absence! It has re-entered at #154, selling 981 copies, bringing its overall total to 580,174. [It sold 828 copies in the previous week, which rather frustratingly was only 6 copies behind what was needed to be in the Top 200]
It has also re-entered the Download chart at #97. Full Download chart run:

Less than 20k to go now and it's approx sold 8k in the last two months. That's really good.
It should hopefully hit 2xPlat before the brief tour is over.
Baby Please Don't Stop debuted at #58 on UK airplay chart.
It is official
Fantastic news! What a classic!
Jack works for Universal their record label he us very reliable.
Really happy for Spice up your life, it feels like a million seller already.
Are these the right terms -
Pure sales - million seller
Sales (physical and downloads and streams combined) - millionaire
YAY thank you!!
Gassed that Goodbye is also so close to 1million units and Stop is FINALLY getting vindicated after all these years.
Just wish Holler would pick up too... Such a shame as it is a BOP! Emma has been really vocal about Holler this time, and also some other Forever tracks such as Oxygen as she has mentioned it a few times now.
HERE'S HOPING They will throw more Forever tracks in there!!
The most up to date figures we now have for the singles:
16/11/18 - 1,620,850 - Wannabe
06/11/18 - 1,216,000 - 2 Become 1
16/11/18 - 1,020,000 - Say You'll Be There
12/04/19 - 1,000,157 - Spice Up Your Life
12/04/19 - 925,000 - Goodbye
12/04/19 - 862,000 - Mama/Who Do You Think You Are *
16/11/18 - 729,000 - Viva Forever
16/11/18 - 707,000 - Too Much
12/04/19 - 494,000 - Stop
06/11/18 - 280,000 - Holler/Let Love Lead The Way
16/11/18 - 55,000 - Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)
* (This a combination of the sales figure for Mama/Who Do You Think You Are as a Double A Side, which only Who Do You Think You Are sales & streams contributes to, and the separate Mama sales & streams)
At the current rate that Stop is selling, it would make it to 600,000 by December 2020. Hopefully it'll be earlier than that if their streams experience a nice boost during the tour. Hopefully we'll definitely be celebrating it becoming Platinum sometime in 2020 at least!
I assume Who Do You Think You Are / Mama double-A side is next to pass the million mark as Goodbye is such a poor streamer, despite being quite far ahead of it.
It's a bit hard to tell with these two singles!
There were two conflicting figures provided for Goodbye in November 2018 from two different sources - one said 910,000 and the other was 918,000. I'm not sure which is more likely, it selling 7,000 in the past 21 weeks (333 sales per week on average) or 15,000 (714 sales per week). If it was the former then it would pass 1 million by August 2023, if it was the latter then it would be April 2021.
Then with Mama & Who Do You Think You Are, we don't have new figures for them individually to work out what they're each selling on average (i.e. what Who Do You Think You Are is selling to contribute to the Mama/Who Do You Think You Are entry). We only know a combined update with Mama sales/streams, which overall is 31,000 in the past 21 weeks. That would be on course for 1 million by January 2021, but I don't know whether that would be counted? If it was purely just about WDYTYA's contribution, then I suppose it could take around twice as long to pass a million in its own right.
It'll be interesting to see one day whether Mama reaches 200,000 by itself and gets a silver certification in its own right!
I mean, Who Do You Think You Are gets regularly put on playlists so it gets boosts every now and then. Depending on where Mama counts that at least gets a healthy boost once a year.
Goodbye is surprisingly invisible for 900k+ selling single on streaming, but I assume that's down to it being the four of them rather than five. I think Viva Forever is more memorable as a post-Geri single, despite her being on it...
It is a bit of a shame how it's one of the more forgotten ones, it really shouldn't be in a position of getting considerably less streams than Holler on Spotify, but that's the situation! I suppose it being the last track on Forever & the last track on Greatest Hits really doesn't help its visibility. Funny to think for a considerably long time that Goodbye was on a higher sales total than Spice Up Your Life (and in terms of pure sales I guess it might still be?).
Goodbye is one of my faves.
We should host a streaming party 🥳
Greatest Hits at #184 this week! 791 sales, lifting its total to 580,966. 59th week in the Top 200.
So glad their singles have had a boost with streaming. Pleased with the increases for SUYL, Stop and WDYTYA/Mama
I wish the RIAA would update the SG totals. It’s been the same since 1998
I would assume they would be updated around the tour when renewed attention will be given to the group and their music. At least, we live in hope.
It was a nice surprise they updated the videos, so they might be making efforts to be more updated overall.
4 million sellers
That ties them with Little Mix again for most millionaires from a girl band right? (Both have 4?)
whats the latest updated list of acts with the most? I only find lists with Spice Girls as two million sellers.
Greatest Hits was midweek #200 on Monday, today it's midweek #195. It should have a good chance of holding onto the Top 200 for Friday; there's still a lot of Record Store Day titles ahead of it which won't sell too much over the rest of the week.
A somewhat interesting fact... if Greatest Hits is in the Top 200 at the same time as Emma Bunton's album, it'll mark the first time since 22nd September 2002 that a Spice Girls album & solo album appear in the charts together! That was when Northern Star was #89 and Forever was #120.
Forever was #120 in 2002... how??
Must have got some bargain bin treatment! It had a week on the chart in 2003 too.
I appreciate all the work on here with updates on sales just for fun I put the list together. I pray that Wannabe goes 3x Platinum and we get some more millionaires
2x Wannabe (1,620,850)
2x 2 Become 1 (1,216,000)
Say You'll Be There (1,020,000)
Spice Up Your Life (1,000,157)
Goodbye (925,000)
Mama/Who Do You Think You Are (862,000 combined)
Viva Forever (729,000)
Too Much (707,000)
Stop (494,000)
Holler/Let Love Lead The Way (280,000)
Headlines (55,000)
I wonder if Stop could ever make it to Platinum
Stop could, but it would take a while. Holler, however........................
Last week marked Greatest Hits' 60th week in the UK Top 200! It climbed 1 place to #183.
It climbed 1 place but I bet its sales were up 100 to 200 copies given how strong the album chart was last week due to RSD.
I saw the album is part of a two for £10 deal in HMV which should help it pick up some more sale
Fell out of the Top 200 again this week
Total sales should be around 582,500 now
It will probably pick up again in a couple of weeks as the tour starts!
Sadly My Happy Place didn't re-enter the chart today, http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=219802&view=findpost&p=6232718 It's frustrating, streaming is damaging it. That's two weeks in a row that it probably wasn't too far outside of the Top 200.
Despite its run of 11-121-out in the official chart, it has achieved these chart runs in the Physical chart & Sales chart:
6-21-59-46... [Physical Chart]
6-24-65-48... [Sales Chart]
(It went 9-out in the Download Top 100 chart, so downloads are hindering it too)
~~~
In better news, Spice Girls - Greatest Hits has re-entered the Top 200 at #177, selling 827 copies (up 9.2%). That means it sold 757 copies the week before, when 787 was needed to be #200. To date sales: 584,156!
I really hope it properly gets going in the next few weeks and passes 600,000 during the tour, would be great if they go double platinum while they're active.
Greatest Hits also re-enters the Download chart at #85
Only 15 884 copies until it gets to 600k!
Thanks Jay! Here's hoping they cross that milestone in June indeed I think the tour starting will most probably boost the album chances of getting pretty close to double platinum 🙏🏼
Well the vinyl sales *should* boost it on the chart on the 6th June, so that might be the week it goes double plat. The Walkers advert I've heard premieres 2nd June too.
Thank you Jay for the update
'My Happy Place' re-entered the UK Top 200 album chart at #162! This mean Emma has achieved the first solo Spice album to spend more than 2 weeks in the Top 200 since Melanie C's 'This Time' also managed 3 weeks (what a depressing stat, lol~).
She sold 846 copies to place at #162. 758 copies are physicals, 43 is downloads & also 45 streaming.
In 5 weeks she has sold a total of 9,913 copies in the UK. It's a pity that she didn't manage to cross over 10k this week, but she inevitably will have over the past 2 days.
Greatest Hits moved up the chart to #151. That is its highest chart position since February 1st, when it was #148.
It soldd 867 copies (135 cds, 121 downloads, 611 streaming). Total is now 585,022. Seems highly unlikely that it'll cross over 600,000 during the tour.
Moves up the download chart to #73. It's not in the sales, physicals or streaming charts.
Emma stats are on the previous page, if you missed those: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s=&showtopic=203971&view=findpost&p=6240123
Pleased that Emma's album is selling still even if not in huge amounts. 20k by year end isn't a terrible result.
I expect the GH to fly up this week well inside the top 100.
Only 14 978 copies to go
Honestly, if the cd was properly stocked I feel that would've added more copies to the total.
In fairness I’d say the reason is streaming, its CD sales are a bit meh at the moment.
Strange. I see the GH and Emma's album really well stocked all over Brighton and the places that I go to in South East England.
Greatest Hits is midweek #112 today! Would be very nice to see it back in the Top 100 in advance of the shows, fingers crossed.
Sadly My Happy Place isn’t in the Top 200 mids.
Greatest Hits is midweek #106 today - let's hope it can sneak into the Top 100 in tomorrow's chart!
OCC Singles Update
Wannabe - 1.71 million
2 Become 1 - 1.25 million
Mama/WDYTYA - 786,000 (combined)
Viva Forever - 740,000
Holler/LLLTW- 287,000
Nice, thank you!
Great to have some sales updates!
The 786k figure for M/WDYTYA will be the sales of the Double A Side single that only includes Who Do You Think You Are downloads and streams & the original CDs & cassettes. Back in April 2019, Mama downloads/streams counted in made it 862,000! I estimate it'll be on 864,000 overall now. So 78,000 sales for Mama in its own right.
Greatest Hits climbed to #107, selling 1,105 copies. 174 CDs, 224 Downloads, 707 Streaming. New total: 586,128.
Will be very interesting to see how it does in the UK next week. If it doubled those weekly sales to 2,210 it would go back into the Top 40.
Increases:
89,150 - Wannabe (in 27 weeks) // 3,302 sales on average per week
34,000 - 2 Become 1 (in 29 weeks) // 1,172 sales on average per week
23,000 - Mama / Who Do You Think You Are (in 29 weeks) // 793 sales on average per week (Remember that this is just Who Do You Think You Are's downloads & streaming contribution)
11,000 - Viva Forever (in 27 weeks) // 407 sales on average per week
7,000 - Holler / Let Love Lead the Way (in 29 weeks) // 241 sales on average per week (Only Holler sales contribute to this Double A Side)
~~~
At this rate, Wannabe will pass 1,800,000 (and therefore certify 3xPlatinum) by December 2019. However, presumably its streaming will go crazy over the next month, so it could easily certify before then. We may see it pass 2 million by January 2021, in advance of its 25th anniversary. 2,400,000 (4xPlatinum) could be achieved by May 2023. 3,000,000 (5xPlatinum) in November 2026.
2 Become 1 is on course to pass 1,300,000 by March 2020, but again with increased streaming over the next month + the boost it receives every Christmas, it could reach that figure earlier than then. It's currently on course to reach 1,500,000 by June 2023. 1,800,000 (3xPlatinum) by May 2028.
Mama / Who Do You Think You Are should reach 800,000 before September 2019. It will potentially be a million seller by July 2024 if it keeps up at this pace. Again, this wouldn't include Mama's separate sales. If Mama was included, I think it would pass 1m overall by September 2021! I'm estimating a split of ~882,000 for M/WDYTYA and ~118,000 for Mama, by that date. At its current rate of selling, I don't think Mama has much of a chance of going Silver in its own right before 2026.
Viva Forever - seems like it could pass 800,000 by March 2022? A million sales won't be happening any time soon, I estimate August 2031.
Holler / Let Love Lead the Way - it might finally pass 300,000 by June 2020. Gold (400,000) will take forever unfortunately, at its current rate it would pass 400k in May 2028!
Who knows what chart rules and ways of consuming music will change over the years though! Sales could speed up or slow down.
Thanks JAY
Holler deserves so much better!!! It should be Platinum just like the rest of their best (no shade for Stop!).
Great news about the rest too. So we could be seeing a triple platinum soon for Wannabe which is nice and very well deserved. That song really defined a generation of people hey? Good on them!
Thanks for the updates .
The GH up to #29 in the UK UK midweeks, should finish top 25. Up to #3 on iTunes as well.
Sadly I think its physicals will let it down this week. Hopefully it will be restocked in supermarkets again asap.
#27 in the midweek information released today.
Top 25 should happen tomorrow.
I was listening to Headlines today on Spotify and I was thinking...every time the GH is streamed and the Headlines track gets played on the album, does it go towards its stream count as a single?
I can't wait for Headlines to be certified Silver in 2056
21 years ago today it was announced Geri had left the Spice Girls. The Official Charts has written a new article about girl group members that went solo. The only solo Spice related release with an update was Melanie C and Bryan Adams - When You’re Gone (830,000) sales combined
The GH album has re entered the UK album chart at #24
YYAAYYY
Do we know the sales yet? The Official Charts article just now doesnt mention them but would be good to have a new total.
JJJJJJJAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY Come bring your chart sales maggiiiiiiiiiikkk baby
3070 copies this week, so the total should be 589,198 this week. Just a bit under 11k to go - hopefully it'll continue to rise next week and should for sure have sold 600k by the end of June.
Great progress! #24 is its highest position since the #18 after Olympics.
CD sales are letting it down a bit. 375 sales, compared to 925 downloads & 1770 streaming.
Wish it could go 2xPlatinum on 14th June and coincide with Wembley dates. Not sure if 5.5k per week for the next 2 weeks is a tall order or not. Will be interesting to see how it does this coming week.
Spice has reentered ! #122 with 1078 sales (60 physicals, 120 downloads, 898 streaming). Total = 2,975,928. Spiceworld isn’t Top 200, hopefully next week?
We also have a new Wannabe total - 1,716,466
Agreed, it’s frustrating Spiceworld has really poor availability too. Can’t believe the label wouldn’t consider it worthwhile to reprint. I mean if there’s ever going to be a time to shift the back catalogue, it’s now. 😫 Very curious.
The albums should be easily available on CD especially now that they are touring.
They are losing out on sales by having poor availability.
Agreed! It's quite puzzling that they didnt really capitalise on this reunion - specially given how many sold out gigs they have.
The only reason I can think of is that during the last reunion tour, their catalogue didnt really set the charts alight and even the Greatest Hits - which was new at the time - didnt really sell in the buckloads back then. So maybe the record company has been playing it safe and just allowing the GH to sell its remaining copies for now.
But even then, it has been selling steadily since the reunion, so you could see that if something new was to be released that it would sell well! Even that GH vinyl was originally just a limited edition (a bad one at that too), so you can tell the record company probably didnt have much hope they would sell a lot of albums.
I wish they would pick this up though, it is a big shame as they could have been releasing much more stuff!

Emma's album sold somewhere between 365 and 370 physicals this week. It's less clear what its sales are with downloads attached, but it's lower than 398 sales.
Spiceworld either sold 126 or 127 downloads this week. The #200 official album (with physicals/downloads/streams) sold 788 copies. So we can deduce from this that Spiceworld managed less than 661 streaming sales (+ physicals if it managed any CD sales).
Annoyingly Spice was really close to Top 100 on streaming. #100 streamed album = 906 streaming sales. Spice did 898.
Amazing news and update Sales! Queens ^^
Be great to see spice pass 3 million. Really happy the greatest hits managed a new peak here in ireland.
#17 on the UK album chart in today’s midweeks
It would be wonderful if it be in the Top 15 on Friday.
Anyone think it could possibly make a Top 10 return at some point?
Well they have 3 shows this week and the Walkers Advert is on TV now so hopefully it will get that push and I hope it continues to rise with 3 Wembley shows next weekend
I was hoping it would be top 10 this week but il settle for next week.
Oh nice! A top10 would be great but a top20 is already a huge bonus!
As sales start to drop the vinyl comes at the right time to give it a sales boost.
It will easily be double platinum this time next month.
Number 18 today down 1 place.
I expected nothing but a climb in each update this week so i find that news disappointing.
As Jay has said before, the Greatest Hits vinyl might not actually count towards the total sales of the Greatest Hits, as it is labelled as The Greatest Hits. So the charts might treat it as a different release alltogether.
I hope they don't as it will be listed as a different chart placing in their discography.
Back up to 17 yesterday
Wasn’t it always #17 seeing as there’s only one midweek update right on a Monday?
No, it was Number 18 on either the Tuesday or Wednesday update.
On Monday it was Number 17, like today.

I hope Greatest Hits might be able to sneak a week at #10 in Wembley week...!
The GH album is back in the UK Top 20 at #16 this week
Fingers crossed for a top 10 during Wembley week
4,032 copies sold this week, totalling 593,230 copies sold. Only 6770 copies to go until double platinum...
Nice! Almost there!!! I bet it will pass that over the next two weeks
Spice is also back in the charts at Number 82 this week.
I also think Double platinum should be official in 2 weeks.
nice! Do we know the new total for Spice yet?
I think the last total was 2,975,000+
Some great chart action this week! Let's break it down x
(Emma has fallen out of the Sales & Physicals charts this week)
Greatest Hits
#16 (this is the album's highest chart position since 9th November 2007, in its fourth week of release, at #13)
4,032 sales this week
Total: 593,229 (6,771 sales to go until 600k i.e. 2xPlatinum)
611 CDs (it's a bit of a shame that the physicals are kind of letting them down a bit at the moment)
1,029 Downloads
2,392 Streaming (the album's biggest week on streaming so far!)
#8 - Download chart [down from #6]
#18 - Streaming chart [up from #26] - New Peak
#21 - Sales (Physicals + Downloads) chart [up from #28]
#46 - Physicals chart [up from #78]
Spice
#82 (its highest position since 18th October 1998, when it was #61)
1,375 sales this week
Total: 2,977,303 (22,697 sales to go until 3 million)
56 Physicals
118 Downloads
1,201 Streaming
#59 - Streaming chart [re-entry] - New Peak
#80 - Download chart [up from #87]
Spiceworld
#141 (its highest position since 25th April 1999, when it was #119)
968 sales this week
Total: 1,599,335 (665 sales to go until 1.6 million)
0 Physicals
116 Downloads
852 Streaming (#100 in the Streaming chart has 914 streaming sales)
#84 - Download chart [down from #78]
Spiceworld sold 729 sales the week before, the #200 album sold 788 - so it was only 59 copies behind.
Spiceworld sold 1,593,889 copies as of 16th November 2018. If we subtract the 968 copies it sold this week & the 729 it sold the previous week, that leaves a total of 1,597,638 sold as of 24th May (which was the opening night of the tour). 24th May 2019 is 27 weeks after 16th November 2018, and it sold 3,749 copies in that time. That means on average it sold 138 to 139 copies per week, the vast majority being from streams of course.
Wannabe
6,081 sales this week (mostly from streaming, of course)
Total: 1,722,548 (77,452 to go until 1.8m i.e. 3xPlatinum)
Christ, the Spiceworld physicals being 0 (!) copies. Forever not being stocked I can kind of get, but it's so lazy of them not to re-stock the Greatest Hits, Spice and Spiceworld.
Thanks for the info Jay. Spice World should pass 1.6m this week then, it is the 2nd best selling album by a girl group in the UK and has been out of print for ages 🤦♂️ That 0 for physical sales is painful.
The GH will go double platinum probably on the day of the last Wembley concert. One could dream of Adele going on stage to hand them a plaque with 700k tickets sold and a double plat plaque for the GH, that would be a moment.
Wannabe being the first ever song by a girl group to hit 3 times platinum probably in October will be amazing.
Spice will pass 3m early next year.
I really hope the vinyl adds to the GH total when it is released, want it to eventually make it past 1m.
Excellent info Jay, thank you!
That Spiceworld 0 cd sales figure does hurt lol It's a shame their albums don't get stocked properly as they clearly could sell better specially when they are now an active band with firm iconic status. Such a shame for 2 iconic albums - spice and spiceworld - which could continue to sell well with casual sales.
I used to see the GH well stocked in supermarkets and HMVs etc but not of late. Maybe the final copies are being sold at the moment but it is odd as hell the record company isnt taking advantage of this tour.
Thank you Jay for all of the sales, chart updates and stats.
Much appreciated as always
Can I ask a question? What is the difference between these two GH Vinyls? Strange that they are listed as separate editions. Maybe just a mistake?

One is labelled as a limited edition picture disk and the other one is as a vinyl record. Here's hoping this means the Picture Disk is the limited edition and the vinyl is the real vinyl lol but I doubt it...
I guess both listings are for the picture disc for some reason, strange though!
Greatest Hits midweek #28 today Wasn't expecting a significant fall, but to be fair there's 9 new entries ahead of them. I think if they'd kept the vinyl release date as 31st May and those had contributed to last week's sales, it might have managed Top 10... oh well!
Just seen the midweeks.
How is it 28 lol
Hopefully it’ll pick up next week. Just a shame that Wembley is towards the end of the week. Who knows may go top 10 the following Friday after the 3 concerts

This week only has Edinburgh and Bristol till Wembley Thurs. Bristol is the smallest stadium too. There is 9 new entries above it as well. The big one will be Saturday all the celebs are attending Saturday.
It will probably finish top 25 this week and be double plat the week after.
The position should improve as the week progresses.
Top 25 should be achieved when we see the chart Friday.

Legends!
Amazing!!
I guess Headlines is their forgotten single now lol but what a bad release that was, so no surprises really
Closes the week at Number 24.
Sales indicate around 3.5k.
The GH sold 3,990 copies.
2,781 copies to go until 2x Platinum (600k)
I’m going to download the album this week. Fingers crossed it crosses the 600k mark.
Oh nice! Might pick up another copy this weekend at my local HMV then
This is the week it might go top 10 so yeah this is the week to download, buy and stream the GH.

UK album midweek update
GH #18
Spice #73
If ‘Spice’ maintains its top 75 position until Friday it’ll make it the highest the album has been since October, 1998!
Oh well. Should pass 600k this week at least.
When is the vinyl out? At least that should extend the top 40 chart run a bit further.
Realky thought it would be higher but least double platunum will hapoen this week.
Thought it would be higher than 18, but I suppose it has been #16-30 for a few weeks...
Is there anyway I can get the GH on iTunes without the remixes at the end and the Girl Power Video! Do I literally have to do it by individual track?
Only available with the bonuses! Downloading the songs individually wouldn’t make it an album sale though.
I'm sure physicals are holding the GH back, not being stocked in supermarkets during the tour was dumb.
Still double plat on Friday.
Thanks Jay and SpiceBoy for letting me know
Just downloaded the whole album to my phone. I hope I’m part of the 2x Platinum Party 🥰
Every sale helps! We get the Vinyl released next Friday, wonder how many copies it will sell?
Releasing the vinyl a week later should hopefully help the GH to stick around for another week without the tour hype. It should manage top 30 again this week (top 20 would be brilliant but at #18 I'm expecting it to drop), and then with the vinyl sales another week in the top 30 is doable I hope.
I'm hoping with vinyl pushes it top 10 tbh. Who knows how big pre-orders for it are but it was limited to 2.5k and sold out quickly so it could do a fair few more than 2.5k. Then you have streaming, downloads and CD sales on top of that.
At 18 today, it is likely sales are very close around that part of the chart.
I’ve been downloading Spice Girls albums during Wembley week! Hope the GH makes it into the Top 10 this month! Would also be great to see the Spice album spent another week in the Top 100 😊
I think spice will be top 100 this week.
🤞🏽
Today is the day, at about 3pm the GH will get its double plat cert and tweet from the BPI and Brits Twitter accounts. Dont forget to like and RT them.
Spice Girls Greatest Hits has been certified 2x Platinum
https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D9lxjRGXYAYRGpl.jpg
Finally! So deserved.
I think these are the Top 3 with the most Platinum certifications combined for albums. Correct me if I'm wrong?
Spice Girls - 18x Platinum (4 albums released)
Girls Aloud - 11x Platinum (7 albums released)
Sugababes - 10x Platinum (8 albums released)

GH #19
Spice #84
Nice that Spice has managed another Top 100 week. I hope we get to find out where Spiceworld ended up in the Top 200 (yesterday it was midweek #141)
Do we know where Spice and Spiceworld ended up last week?
Spice was #114 last week, Spiceworld unfortunately wasn't Top 200!
Nice seeing Spice in the Top 100 once again.
Greatest Hits held that Top 20 position is lovely too.
Really pleased Spice held that top 20 position in the week it went double platinum.
I also find it so funny how so many fans hated the gh cover when it was released (I wasn’t overtly keen myself) and I think it has aged so well it looks iconic now
Well done everyone
Ok Wannabe to triple plat next. I'm expecting that about October.
2,979,898 - Spice (1,442 sales this week)
1,601,102 - Spiceworld (986 sales this week)
600,600 - Greatest Hits (3,980 sales this week)
Last week (14th June chart) sales:
3,391 - Greatest Hits (#24)
1,153 - Spice (#114)
781 - Spiceworld (not Top 200) [the lowest position I can work out from last week is that #196 sold 815, presumably #200 would have sold close to 800-ish... a pity Spiceworld was quite close to staying in the chart but didn't make it]

Thank you Jay for the updates and sales stats. Much appreciated.
Nice to see SW finally cross the 1.6 million mark
The GH album is #60 in the midweek chart update. A shame it hasn’t gone Top 10 during the reunion but the Wembley concerts were Thurs-Sat
Also a shame that the Vinyl was put back. I wish it had come out mid June actually in between the original and new release date
It is going to have such an odd chart run, rising, dropping, rising, dropping, rising, dropping in the space of 6 weeks assuming the vinyl counts towards its sales next week.
As it’s no longer limited edition I wonder how many copies will sell during its first week? 🤔
Now it's going to be a loooong way to go until 3xPlatinum...
Hopefully the vinyl next week gives it a nice boost and is then available for the next couple of years.
The more they do as a group the more the GH sells so fingers crossed we get an announcement of something new soon.
Let's hope it gets to it by the 40th anniversary then, when they are all 60 years old headlining Glastonbury for the 3rd time
GH midweek #69 today I guess it'll drop even more by the Friday chart. A shame to see it plummet!
Thanks for the info Jay. I guess it was inevitable really, but sad nonetheless xx
GH down to #76 on the official UK album chart.
What a shame they didn't capitalise after Wembley with some GH adverts on TV as well as the vinyl release.
On the plus side this is the first time they’ve ever been #76 in the album chart! (Lol x)
thanks for the work! Jay I wanted to know if you could have the sales data of both singles and soloists in the top 20 and top 40? are there any data? thank you so much
did we get a midweek for this week at all? Are we asuming that it is out of the Top100?
OK,thanks
Any news on where it charted this week at all? And are we definitely to asume that this week is now the one where the GH vinyl will also count towards the chart?
Sorry, a bit confused with the GH situation as the UK date as moved about a bit lol
It charted at #113 last week. The vinyl is out this week, mine was delivered today, so we should see the impact of that in Monday's midweeks and Friday's final chart.
It is stocked in all HMVs as well as the Amazon orders.
Seems like the GH is #11 in the Weds midweeks! Get buying/streaming/downloading
