QUOTE(Spice Girls Net @ May 9 2019, 01:00 PM)  Say nearly all the 2,500 vinyls are pre ordered when it's 'released' on the 31st May, will all those contribute to the UK chart? Hopefully by the beginning of June the album will be given a boost too along with CD sales, downloads and streams. I hope it charts again. Think it certainly will count towards the charts and most probably will bring it back to the charts. Bare in mind that for the UK Charts, only sales that were made and shipped into the UK count towards the charts, so not all 2,500 copies will count unfortunately. Just like what happened with Emma and her vinyl! |

There is a slight worry that Official Charts Company might count the vinyl sales separately from the CDs/Downloads/Streams, because that’s happened with some artists before. For example: Madonna’s Like a Virgin vinyl in 2017 & Kylie Minogue’s self titled in 2018 were regarded as separate entries, for some reason.
My concern with this vinyl is that it’s technically been given a new title, ‘The Greatest Hits’ instead of ‘Greatest Hits’, and that the label is “UMC - Virgin Domestic” [UMC = Universal Music Catalogue], rather than “Virgin Catalogue / EMI”. We’ll find out in June

The 2.5k figure is sure UK only copies. It is being sold everywhere through out the world and has been as high as #2 on US Amazon, Amazon France etc.
There is no way there would be a copy left anywhere if the whole world was limited to 2.5k copies. |

Yes it is on Amazon now under pics of it. I like it combines lots of eras as it is the GH.

Well... it's certainly a mishmash of styles, leaning heavily into the retro. There's a very heavy emphasis on the Spiceworld era with a smattering of Spice era. I suppose in a sense the design is a greatest hits for their own eras and images (poor Forever x). I have to say, the 2007 GH era pic is very at odds with the rest of the design.
I still can't say I particularly like it though, unfortunately. I get why they've done it this way, but eh. Give me the stylish/sleek/timeless original Greatest Hits cover over this, any day. Here's the full size image: https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/ima...kL._SL1500_.jpg |

I was hoping for little changes of the tracklist considering the "new" title "The Greatest Hits"
...like adding Step To Me and IYWHSF or NGUOTGT and deleting Voodoo...patience...in the end I'm happy for this "new" Spice release... |

Also I've never liked the fact that Goodbye is at the end of the tracklist...and the fact that Holler is positioned after LLLTW...

Goodbye as the closer makes sense. I've always assumed Holler comes after LLLTW so it's not ballad heavy at the end. LLLTW, Headlines and Goodbye 3 of the last 4 songs is a bit much.

Wow still at number 1!!!
For the tracklist yes, goodbye at the end makes sense but I would have preferred all the tracks in chronological order, Goodbye after Viva Forever and Holler after Goodbye..but Goodbye after Voodoo for me is strange...however sorry, I'm probably delirious

It does make me feel suspicious about the supposed 2500 copies limited run though. I noticed that the sticker on the vinyl doesn't mention that it's limited, hmm.

I threw together a couple of concepts yesterday. Tbh I really would have preferred this, a normal vinyl & the original cover:
 If it really had to be a picture disc, then I came up with this (I literally spent 2 minutes on this so it's not perfectly aligned)...  I thought that it still using the Greatest Hits era logo alongside the SUYL picture would tie it in more nicely with the CD, making it look less like it's cosplaying a Spiceworld era item. |

Still #1 on Amazon, it's been there for 32 hours now (and their chart is updated hourly, so it's selling consistently well!)
