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.

QUOTE(Queef of Peace @ Mar 29 2018, 02:31 PM)  Spiceworld was tiny in comparison. The bubble burst quickly. 10 weeks top 5 is amazing. The problem they faced was becoming so global. They had to promote everywhere with the 2nd album where as the first had a delayed release in the US. By Jan 1998 they were in tour rehersals. I mean Viva Forever didn't even have them in the video I can only imagine by early 1998 there just wasn't enough time to fit everything in and some areas of promo were going to suffer. They were defo right though to do a huge tour even if it meant neglecting Stop for the most part in the UK and things like Viva Forever video. |

Yeah, Spiceworld was still a huge album! * ‘Spiceworld’ was the 5th best selling album of 1997, selling 1,060,000 in 8 weeks. * It was the 27th best seller of 1998, with 438,000 copies sold. So a total of just under 1.5m by the end of 1998. * By the end of the 90s it was the 37th best selling album of the decade. * As of 2009: 1,576,709 sales. * Over 20 years on from its release, it remains as the second best selling girl group album in UK chart history, behind ‘Spice’. So it can’t be said that the bubble burst at this point. The sales weren’t as phenomenal as they were for ‘Spice’, but ‘Spiceworld’ in its own right was clearly successful. It also contains 3 #1 platinum certified singles. If we’re ever going to use the phrase “the bubble burst”, that was most clearly the ‘Forever’ era - although by that stage the Spice Girls were evidently over it, given they abandoned the era. Their last promotion for the album (and in fact their final appearance together until their 2007 reunion) occurred on 16th November, which was a performance of Holler at the EMAs. That was just 10 days after they released the album. Forever sold 224,000 in its first 8 weeks, making it the 59th best selling album of 2000 (eventual sales of 266,000 as of 2015). That really wasn’t that bad off the back of just one single. It was clearly a huge decline from their previous two albums though, but their level of effort in that era was a fraction of how hard they worked for Spice and Spiceworld. I’d argue that they got back more than they put in, when it came to ‘Forever’. |

Does anyone have any idea of 'how does it feel' sold in the UK?

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).

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) 51 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. |
