This is absolutely not true. The Wannabe vinyl was a big success (#1 on the vinyl singles chart and has charted for over a year in total).

Spice re-entered the charts at #5 with its anniversary edition.

The GH picture disc vinyl was #1 on the vinyl chart.

I've spoken to someone connected to Universal and they just don't care about the Spice Girls for several reasons. Firstly they aren't signed so aren't a priority, secondly they are an anomoly in that their team have little to no interaction with the Universal team, it is a very odd set up. Thirdly with very little work the Spice Girls music earns good money any way through streaming. Wannabe did 620k streams Friday on Spotify alone.

Spice and Wannabe are about as big as any UK 90s female artists stream full stop.

If Spice Girls were with another label they would be getting loads more effort put in. Let's be real a Mama vinyl at Mother's day would sell a heck of a lot more than a Steps Deeper Shade of Blue vinyl but it is the latter being released.

I think it is also due to the fact the girls show no interest in re-releases either. I mean the Spiceworld re-release was ignored the Spice one only from Melanie C, Emma has not even acknowleded her own album being released for record store day. Why would the record company bother? Steps at least go all out to promote theirs, and they will get a heck of alot less than Spice Girls would from re-releases.
