 By request of Voodoo, welcome to this new count down thread! I will be counting down the most streamed solo Spice songs from the past 12 months.  The time period of the streams is 22nd May 2022 to 22nd May 2023 - I know that's a bit random, but that was the last time I did a full solo Spice update! There's 269 different songs on Spotify from the Spice Girls as solo artists. Don't worry, I won't be counting them down one by one.  The first few posts will be in batches, before we reach the songs at the very top of the list which I'll give more focus.I will say that there's certainly some surprises ahead! Note that I have combined all versions of a track, so for instance if a song has remixes, then the streams those remixes achieved will count towards the song's overall total. Without further ado, let's look at all of the tracks from 269 to 201... the most forgotten about songs.  KEY: Emma Bunton Geri Halliwell Mel B Melanie C Victoria Beckham |

'He Ain't Heavy, He's My Brother' was a charity release featuring numerous artists including Melanie C. It was the UK Christmas #1 of 2012 so it's a shame that it's unavailable. Emma undoubtedly has the messiest back catalogue in terms of worldwide availability - that is 3 of her B Sides that can't be streamed by anybody. A lot of her album tracks from Free Me and Life in Mono can be found in this section, unfortunately those albums are still missing from many countries. Poor Mel B - not only was her second album 'LA State of Mind' a flop on arrival in 2005 (who can ever forget #453 in the UK charts!) but it also has a very small audience of people interested in streaming it, with none of its album tracks managing 1000 streams in a whole year. Even its lead single Today was played less than 2000 times!  Geri's 'Half of Me' is only available to stream in Australia, New Zealand and apparently Vietnam, but it still managed just over 1000 plays! No doubt it would be 1,000,000 plays if it was made international... Melanie "B Sides are B Sides for a reason" Chisholm does indeed have a large number of her B Sides appear in this section, the least streamed of these being 'Warrior' from 'Better Alone'. Victoria is the only member who doesn't have any tracks in this section! She is now confirmed as the Queen of Spotify!  If there's any tracks here that you guys feel are worthy of being commented on, then I welcome those posts!

Shame Emma’s music catalogue is so messy when it comes to availability!
TMTAT is a highlight from any solo discography! Many Mel C B sides here which is understandable! |

Thanks for doing this, J!
Melanie could really benefit from creating an official playlist that would contain all her B sides in one place. It would definitely increase the visibility of some of her hidden gems. QUOTE(-Jay- @ May 22 2023, 07:11 PM)  207. 4,443 - Let There Be Love (Total Streams: 70,491) Doesn't it have limited availability around the world? It's only available to stream on Spotify in some parts of Europe, where the German edition of The Sea was released. It was released as an iTunes bonus track of The Sea in the rest of the world, This post has been edited by Voodoo: 23rd May 2023, 10:03 AM |

Ooh yay thanks for this Jay *.*
'Life In Mono' is probably the song I listen to the most out of those. Although the original version of it was sent to the latest BuzzJack Song Contest and my mind was blown

Given that Melanie C has by far the biggest discography of the girls, it figures that this section is largely made up of songs by her. Including : 1 'The Sea' track, 4 'Version of Me' tracks, 4 'Stages' tracks (plus a B Side from that era), 6 'Reason' tracks, 6 'This Time' tracks and 7 'Beautiful Intention' tracks. Interestingly 'Home' and 'Do I', both from 'Reason', achieved the exact same number of streams as each other. Two of Victoria's B Sides depart from this section, as well as an album track and a remix of 'This Groove' (is this version considered to be official?  ). The fact that it managed over 9,000 streams and it's not the hit single version... surely indicates that the actual hit single version could get decent streaming numbers if it was available. It's a pity that Victoria clearly has no interest in bringing that and 'Let Your Head Go' onto digital platforms.  There's quite a few Geri songs here, a mix of songs from all three of her (commercial) eras. 'You're in a Bubble' is the lowest streamed 'Schizophonic' track. There's four Emma songs in this section. I'm kind of surprised that 'Sometimes', which is tucked away on a 2003 'Chicken Shed' compilation album, managed almost 7000 streams! (Edit: I've just noticed that it is included on 'This Is Emma Bunton', which presumably helps it (although that playlist only has 330 likes!!). There's just two Mel B songs featuring here, with both being 'Hot' album tracks. |

Even though the 'Free Me' album is unavailable in many countries, clearly it's not well remembered here in the UK where it's fully accessible. Also appearing in this section is another Emma Top 10 hit - her cover of 'Downtown', a #3 in 2006, but less than 20k streams worldwide and being streamed on the same level as some of her album tracks. Crickets is also here, with only 13k. Come on Universal, sort it out.  Melanie C released 'Numb' with Sons of Sonix as a taster of what was to come on her 2016 album 'Version of Me'. Sadly it's become very forgotten, only a little over 20k streams in the last year (including mixes). The last year contributes just 2.35% of its overall total. Some other rather forgotten singles here - 'Hold On', 'Understand', 'This Time'. |
