Not sure if they're relevant, but these chart runs are from "Hit Parade Brasil", a weekly top 20 of the most requested songs at "Jovem Pan FM", the main pop radio station in Brazil.

Not sure if this is the full Greatest Hits chart run in Ireland, but this is the information I've found:

(Entry: 15/11/2007 - Top 75) 09-10-15-24-31-29-33-32-47-59-out
(Entry: 16/11/2018 - Top 100) 78-41-38-64...


As of 2nd April 2018, 'Spice' was the 45th best selling album of all time in Ireland!

Surely it recharted after the Olympics in Ireland.

I was looking at their discography page and thinking that they not only need to update their U.S. single sales but also Ireland and Australia too.

Apart from 'Goodbye' I've never seen any single sales for Canada.

I just hope that with this reunion we get a few random tweets or updates from various music organisations/bodies around the world this year.

Greatest Hits is doing incredibly well in Ireland in advance of their show there tomorrow!

It's currently #5 on iTunes (and #297)

Meanwhile on Apple Music streaming:

#7 & #101 & #109 - Greatest Hits
#33 - Spice
#104 - Spiceworld
#373 - Greatest Hits

Incredible! Looking forward to seeing where they chart in Ireland tomorrow. It was #79 last week. Does anyone have the full Greatest Hits chart run in Ireland?

The funny thing about 'Spice' is, although it sold a lot of copies straight away and was #1 in the UK the week of its release, in most places it was a slow burner, gradual climber and then seemed to stick around for a good 18 months solid.

For example, it came out in Nov 96 and was in the charts in so many European countries for weeks before it made it into the Top 10 or even #1.

Sweden being an example where it wasn't until July 1997 that it reached the top spot.

The Scottish/Welsh charts in 2007 still only used physical sales data, which is why All I Need to Know managed #24 in Scotland and #27 in Wales! It reached #25 in the physical chart (based on England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland sales).

Fairly certain that Scottish/Welsh charts in 2019 don't take into account streaming for some reason, so that also explains the #7 peak for My Happy Place in both countries. In the UK sales chart it was #6!

To be fair I was talking more about their solo music than the group efforts. I do think it still applies some, I mean there is minimal promotion done for their solo work (Angels in chains, Baby please don't stop, For once in my life...) they need to get out there and really promote to try to get even a small hit. Then again Melanie C did a pretty big radio tour for Anymore and still got nowhere. #1 on physical sales and still not in the top 200 official chart...

Posted by: tommie 19th August 2019, 12:33 PM

I just don't think their audience is a streaming one and is probably, at this point, in the 35+ bracket.

It reminds me how the recent Beverly Hills 90210 reboot did in the ratings - it had a 1.5 rating in the overall A18-49 demographic, but once you broke it down properly it scored a 0.5 rating in the A18-34 and a 1.9 rating in the A25-52 one. Basically, everyone watching Beverly Hills 90210 is now 35+. It's the same case with the Spice Girls - their main audience just doesn't do streaming in large numbers, so trying to get a hit single is pretty pointless. If they do record new music all their efforts should be put on getting album sales, not hit singles because that won't happen.

I'll admit - I don't like streaming. Too paranoid about my internet ever being down since I like to be out in the country, plus I like to own the music I listen to. Streaming might be an improved version of listening to the radio, but that's about it.

Well in a lot of countries you have to pay for certifications, so record labels don't want to waste money on them. The artist themselves can pay for it too, Rihanna does this I seem to recall and all her carts in the US are very upto date.

Posted by: JaneJ 1st January 2020, 01:18 AM

It's only $350 per cert. I don't think those amount would hurt the label but yeah what's the point of paying money for the group who's no longer active. I assume the girls themselves don't have the sale figures though. They're probably in Virgin's database.

Posted by: sammy01 1st January 2020, 08:56 AM

I'm sure in the US there certifications are very out of date. The US let albums now retrospectively add streaming sales, video streaming, individual track sales etc to count towards album sales totals in a weird ratio system.

So Spice would have all Wannabes streams, download sales etc added into it now.

Whilst $350 isn't much I bet pretty much every major release of theirs in the US needs updating so the record company might be basically throwing $3.5k away for no reason.

Posted by: Spice Girls Net 1st January 2020, 11:15 PM

The last update for the 'Spice' album sales in the U.S. was 7.5 million either around the 2012 Olympics time or in 2016 when Wannabe was 20.

I wish the RIAA/SG label would update their sales. The albums are pretty much what they were a decade or so ago when they were updated in the late 2000s, but the singles haven't been updated since 98/99

Those updates were from Soundscan/Billboard but if you want the cert you need to apply for it yourself, sending the figures(sales+downloads+streaming) to RIAA and they'll audit those numbers then give you the cert. The RIAA recommend to use your own numbers from your database not Soundscan since it would probably more cover all the sales or they called it "consumption" these days. No official certifications for the spice girls since 99, that means no one cares to apply for the certs. But from what we know from Soundscan, the Spice album probably still around 7+ million, I guess we have to wait for the movie to boost up their streaming numbers/sales over there and worldwide, if the movie gets well-received by the audience of course. However, at least Wannabe should be updated to 3xP already. SYBT and 2B1 probably already hit one million as well.

I was wondering if there was any way of finding out some of the SG total worldwide single sales?

I’d love to know how close ‘Wannabe’ is to 10 million in actual sales

7 million sold by the end of 1997, including 1.8m sold in the U.S. by the end of the year

Since 1997 ‘Wannabe’ has sold this amount in both pure sales and digital downloads

Japan - 100k
UK - 150k estimate
USA - 1.2m
Germany - 250k

That means the total is around 8.7 million and with just a few countries added. I hope we can get a total for their singles in the future

Posted by: sammy01 16th January 2020, 01:30 PM

Wannabe has sold over 500k in the UK since downloads and streaming were added. It was always at 1.2m+ until then and as we know it passed 1.8m getting a triple platinum cert in November last year.

I'd say Wannabe is well over 10m now.

Posted by: sammy01 16th January 2020, 01:34 PM

According to the official global music industry report.
https://techcrunch.com/2019/04/02/streaming-accounted-for-nearly-half-of-music-revenues-worldwide-in-2018/

Digital download market started to appear in 2004 with very tiny market share, streaming started to show up in early 2010s with very small share as well, it was growing 2013-2014, Billboard started to count streaming as sales in Dec. 2014, right now it's taking over the market. So Wannabe's 2.91 million number in the US was before Dec. 2014 right? Then I would say it was pure sales. Streaming is generating huge revenue but artists only get a tiny cut, most of the money goes to streaming services themselves but it helps new artists to build the fan base globally, grows their sale numbers if they have crazy stans to stream their music day in day out, keeps active veteran artists alive and relevant, artists can cash in later with touring (which is also growing constantly and generating massive revenue) or sponsorship deals or whatever. Only Adele can still sell her albums in this streaming era. With this rate if they're lazy like this and so scared of failure, they'll be surpassed in terms of sale numbers soon. The movie is a brilliant idea but they need to do more. The world tour would also hype up the fans around the world, Netflix was also a smart move to keep their faces in circles of streaming world as the 90s legendary icons, they have to release more new music as well, but it's the Spice Girls so we won't get any of those things.

Thanks for posting Impressively consistent sales!

Interesting to learn that Spiceworld achieved some higher weekly sales than Spice, although it figures with it being out at Christmas time. Wow at Spiceworld passing 1 million sales before it managed to climb into the Top 5.

http://www.ifpi.dk/certificeringer-0

Albums released after 2007 that were certified 'Gold' was 15,000, but I'm guessing as most of the sales have come from the streaming era its total probably is 10,000 max.

Still nice to get these updates

I found out that Headlines sold 73,000 copies worldwide during the first week of December 2007 and in the 2nd week 63,000.

As the World Traffic chart website only publishes the Top 40, I don't know its sales for the rest of the month, January 2008 or even any streams or sales its picked up since then.

If you include the 58-59k sales in the UK, it should be around the 200,000 sales mark.

Not too shabby considering it had hardly any promo and wasn't even a Top 10 hit in the UK.

Record labels mean shipped when they talk about 'sold' as when they ship an album they have sold those to retailers. I wouldn't be shocked if Scream shipped 1m but lots ended up unsold in pound shops.

Scream opened with 30k+ which would have been all physical it wouldn't be surprising if UK shipments were 200k as I'm sure after opening with decent numbers retailers were confident it would sell well.

For example Too Much reached #4 on the FIMI Singles chart and #16 on the M&D Chart

Is one of these charts more important than the other?

Many thanks if any Italian fans know

Some Brazil chart page on Twitter is claiming that LM has sold 900k in Brazil (based on certifications) and the SG on 730k (but when you add their 4 albums it's at least 880k)

Pro-Música Brasil's official page has also added LM's single certifications recently.

Why can't the SG certifications be updated or published?

I know some countries do it automatically and other countries require the label to pay for any updates, but it's so frustrating that we don't really know how well their albums and singles have done in the last 20 years, bar the UK.

There's hardly been any sales or certifications updates anywhere in the world since 1998/1999.

Spice went 4x Platinum in Japan in the April of 1997 (800,000)

That was 24 years ago, hasn’t been updated since and I can imagine they sold more copies during the rest of 1997, 1998 plus downloads and streaming units

I'd say as a group they are well over 100m 'sales' now. I mean Wannabe in the UK alone is nearly 700k more than when we were getting 85m reported sales. Stop is another 400k more too. The GH continues to sell well.

Here is one for you Jay, comparing the 2009 update of sales from the UK we had to the latest update and see how many more sales they have achieved in that time?

Then you have to think about all the other countries in the world too. I mean Wannabe has well over 1 billion streams from Spotify and YouTube alone, add in apple, Amazon music, deezer, tidal and others plus it's download sales over the last 15 years. I wouldn't be shocked if Wannabe was way over 10m 'sales' WW these days maybe closer to 15m.

Think some of those dont include a lot of sales as per the rest of this thread and mostly record companies in each country havent updated their sales publicly in a long time with this group.

Plus, there are 195 countries in the world and whilst many dont have charts or track sales publicly, they will have private information on sales. Overall, I think the 28million for Spice and 20million for Spiceworld make sense - they were literally everywhere back then and sales in the 90s were SKY HIGH and top artists were selling in those regions.

Whilst the 85million records might well be inflated, I think that is an overall figure of group and solo sales though...

Guess unless one of us sleeps with the boss at EMI records, we wont ever find out the real numbers

Posted by: Spice Girls Net 31st January 2021, 02:36 PM

Veli posted a scan on spice circle and it was an article from one of the Official Spice magazines (August 1997) and it said that Spice had sold 1 million in Japan.

It was released in September 1996
By April 1997 it had gone 4x Platinum (800k)
1 million sold by August 1997 (increase of 200k)

Imagine the total now seeing as the 1 million figure was Aug 1997, we had the rest of the year, 1998, digital downloads and now the streaming era 🤯

Posted by: Mr.X 31st January 2021, 04:12 PM

In fact, some interesting figures from that article which I had no idea about:

South Africa: 50,000 copies
Rest of Africa: 3.5millon

France; 600,000
Germany: 500,000
USA: 3million (now 8million)
Denmark: 100,000
Sweden: 100,000
Finland: 40,000

Italy: 500,000 this is A LOT
Netherlands: 200,000 this is A LOT

These make sense for 1997 due to the height of their success and the article frames their world-wide sales for Spice on 15million by that point. So it totally makes sense that they sold much more than that. I totally believe the 28million figure for Spice to be honest...

Posted by: Mr.X 31st January 2021, 04:15 PM

Also South Korea: 500,000 copies for Spice and 200,000 copies for Spiceworld back in 1998 apparently, so probably way more nowadays

Posted by: sammy01 31st January 2021, 04:17 PM

Let's not forget the album will have shipped more than sold too. When we get a figure like 85m from a label they aren't looking at actual over the counter sales but copies they shipped out. Spice could have easily shipped 28m. I mean look at Schizophonic it shipped 600k in the UK and sold 480k is it.

Spice was definitely at 23m by 2000. Even with digital sales, cds and vinyls over the last 20 years it could potentially be 25m at least in terms of ‘sales’ with streaming units it could be nearer to 30m. But I’ll take the 31m

Spiceworld did 13-15m by 98/99. I would guess 17m seems like a fair total. I wish it had done 20m.

As Jay says, there’s so many sources and different articles all with different totals 🤪

There's a separate chart for "international acts" which is why so many acts can brag about being "big in Japan". I'm guessing that Wannabe reached either #1/#2 on that chart and #50 on the combined chart.

To be fair they’ve been throwing the 23m figure around since 2000. I’m sure the album had sold 22m by the end of the 90s. Maybe another 9m is a stretch but they’ve picked up casual cd sales, downloads, vinyls and streams

The new figure as of 2021 is 90m which seems more realistic but seeing as every country counts streaming units in a different way the 100m figure could be streams included. We don’t know their streaming totals put together.

The singles started from 1997 and the album from 1995. In 2007 back then fimi published the physical singles chart now it's corrected with digital+physical or just digital, it's not clear.

Totally thought it would have done better in places like Sweden and New Zealand to be honest... Even Spain, where they hit a show around Christmas did NOTHING... In fact the album was out of the charts there by the time the tour hit Madrid... Sad times.

ALSO, someone please look over the Irish charts for the GH... I want to but it is 23 weeks out of like 13 years and the website isnt necessarily that easy to navigate LOL

I found this:

Greatest Hits
Irish Charts Top75 run:

2007: 9-10-15-24-31-29-33-32-47-59-OUT

And I know that it got back at least to Top10 during the 2019 tour, but for whatever reason I cant find the info.

There might have been some other peaks as well during 2012 (Olympics) and 2018 (5-piece photo, tour announcement) as well...

A lot of Music Week issues have been added to a website with older issues of music magazines. I have been looking through a lot of issues from 1996-1998 and came across an article from Aug 1998.

'Stop' was released in the U.S. in June 1998 and by August had sold 400,000 copies.

Finally a figure. I would love to know its total by the end of 1998 and its complete total now.


Other updates from August 1998

Viva Forever - 350,000 sales in Germany (Cert Gold for 250k that year)

Impressive for Stop! I guess it was airplay that let it down?

Posted by: spiceboy 30th August 2022, 08:56 AM

It is amazing how sales in the USA have changed so much, the 90's sales were ridiculously low compared to the likes of the late 2000s early 2010s sales where Gaga and Rihanna were hitting 10 million sales for a single, yet I'd say Wannabe was just as big of a hit (and continues to be) as both of those yet it was a 1 million seller at the time (think it is over 3 million now).

Melanie C's book: Wannabe has sold 15million copies

Posted by: spiceboy 18th September 2022, 10:25 PM

I've had a little play about with sales based on what Melanie has provided us with and certifications for the songs and singles (plus Jays excellent UK sales) and these are the sales I have come up with (based on some approximations obs all of these will have extra sales in countries where they didn't certify too be it a few hundred or a few thousands)

- Spice (19 million)
- Spiceworld (14 million)
- Forever (1.3 million)
- The Greatest Hits (1.5 million)

36 million albums

- Wannabe (15 million)
- Say you'll be there (3 million)
- 2 become 1 (2.4 million)
- Mama / Who do you think you are (1.6 million)
- Spice up your life (2.1 million)
- Too much (1.6 million)
- Stop (1.4 million)
- Viva forever (1.6 million)
- Goodbye (1.9 million)
- Holler / Let love lead the way (400,000)
- Headlines (100,000) - rounded up

31.1 million singles

That works out at 67 million records so lets round that up to 70 million. I think the 80-100 million they are claiming is a bit of a stretch.

Then again Virgin definitely claimed Spice had sold 23 million in the 90s and of course they have been claiming 31 million sales recently so who knows. I am sure Mel B and Geri both claimed 25 million sales in their first books (I want to say Mel B said 30 million in Brutally Honest but I could be making that up). Perhaps Melanie's 19 million is pure sales and the Virgin one includes shipments and then later on downloads / streaming?

Posted by: spiceboy 18th September 2022, 10:42 PM

Meanwhile Melanie C has stated in her book that she has (including collaborations) sold 23 million records as a solo artist... So I had a little investigate again bearing in mind in her book she shaved a million sales off Northern Star after Virgin claimed 3.5 million (and in Blood Brothers claimed 4 million)...

- Northern Star (2.5 million)
- Reason (500,000) - confirmed in her book
- Beautiful Intentions (600,000) - based on her saying it outsold Reason
- This Time to Melanie C (100,000) - based on 60,000 UK sales and 20,000 Swiss sales for TT then rounded up to account for other European sales, likely to be higher.

3.7 million albums

- When you're gone (1,020,000)
- Northern star (240,000)
- Never be the same again (1,150,000)
- I turn to you (870,000)

The above were based on Jays Uk sales thread and then certifications from other places. The ones below are based on UK sales and rounded up to nearest 10,000 assuming they have sold / streamed enough across the world to manage that.

- Going down (100,000)
- If that were me (60,000)
- Here it comes again (50,000)
- On the horizon (30,000)
- Melt / Yeh, yeh, yeh (10,000)
- Next best superstar (30,000)
- Better alone (10,000)
- First day of my life (500,000)
- I want candy (20,000)
- Carolyna (10,000)
- This time / Understand (10,000)
- Rock me (10,000)
- Think about it (10,000)
- Weak / Let there be love / The night (10,000)
- I don’t know how to love him (10,000)
- I know him so well (10,000)
- Loving you (70,000)
- Anymore (10,000)
- Numb / Room for love / Hold on / Room for love (10,000)
- High heels (10,000)
- Who I am (10,000)
- Blame (10,000)
- In and out of love / Fearless / Overload / Into you (10,000)

4.3 million singles

This gives her approximately 8 million records I really struggle to see where the other 15 million records were sold! I get that songs like FDOML and ITTY are probs a fair bit higher, also probably When you're gone. Plus she has sales from songs like The moment you believe which was a small hit in a few countries and of course some of her singles were small hits in Europe so lets say about 10 million records still about 13 million out!

Posted by: spiceboy 18th September 2022, 10:57 PM

Now having a little play with Geri's... again EMI claimed over 2 million of Schizo and 1.5 million of Scream but lets do it based on certs and Jay's wonderful Uk sales thread (can't remember if Geri said sales for her solo albums in her books?).

She claimed 12 million records on X Factor and this Heart Article says 15 million (while giving Look at me 1.5 million)

- Schizophonic (1.4 million)
- Scream (250,000)
- Passion (11,000)

1.7 million albums (rounded up)

- Look at me (400,000)
- Mi chico latino (400,000)
- Lift me up (400,000)
- Bag it up (300,000)
- Its raining men (1.7 million)
- Scream (100,000)
- Calling (100,000)
- Ride it (60,000)
- Desire (20,000)
- Angels (10,000)

3.5 million singles

Approx 5 million records. Again there is bound to be more sales these are the minimum sales but I struggle to see where the other 10 million records are?

Also Spiceboy your single sales are hugely under estimated, Holler has over 300k sales in the UK (plus the extra 12k for LLLTW streaming sales separate) so you are estimating about 80k sales for the rest of the world for it since 2000.

Goodbye I believe is over 950k in the UK and diamond iirc in Canada (1m copies it was huge there) which gives you 1.95m sales from 2 countries and that plat status in Canada is from the time of release not including its download and streaming sales since.

Since 2005 when downloads were pretty much included everywhere we have had 17 years of downloads and now streaming sales adding up. Depending on a countries rules it can make a huge difference, like the UK the GH will outsell NS in a few years the way it is going or Wannabe which early 2024 will be 4 times plat and have doubled its sales from the 90s.

The girls have gone on to sell more than 90 million records around the globe, releasing three studio albums and 11 singles and winning a host of awards including a BRIT Award for Outstanding Contribution to British Music.

Remember when Melanie C had a storage unit that was essentially abandoned, and her stuff was going to be sold before she was notified and she intervened? I'm fairly sure she had a CD-R of Boyfriend/Girlfriend amongst her stuff. No doubt we'll never hear it

I wonder if they were already in Dublin on 26th Jan (which is when the AMAs took place), because on 27th January they were shooting the Stop music video! Not very good scheduling there.

I should have remembered that the US wouldn’t have had those VHS tins because they had totally different artwork for the movie! Interesting to know the split between them, though it doesn’t factor in the stand alone copy of the VHS or the group tin!

At the time of release I only got the Emma tin, so I contributed to hers being the most successful! And I remember that my cousins went for Melanie C’s.

I wonder if they would have anticipated Emma being the more popular seller and pressed more copies of her tin than say Mel B’s?

Posted by: sammy01 18th October 2022, 05:47 PM

I remember reading an article where it mentioned the tins and that the Spice Girls (or management/distributors) insisted that retailers had to take even numbers of each tins. It was a stroke of genius as it meant retailers had to buy a lot of tins to match the demand of the Baby tin or be the retailer who sells out of the Baby tin straight away. It did lead to a lot of unsold Scray tins going cheap though.

Posted by: -Jay- 18th October 2022, 06:37 PM

From a business point of view that probably makes sense (as well as not cause any tensions with the girls themselves). I guess it would have been the same with the dolls too. Maybe Mel B's were the lowest selling of those too?

According to Billboard magazine, Spiceworld sold 15.4 million copies by 2009. So including trickle sales in the early 2010s, downloads, streaming units and vinyls, can we say that Spiceworld has sold 16m copies?

The original billboard article has been referenced on various music forums, but here is the list of albums and sales which was posted to an online fan page.

So... if Spiceworld was at 15.4million by 2009, for sure we can say it is over 16million, perhaps even more now?... I think it was still in print as a CD for a while after that, no?...

Also, I think it is a shame that the official press release mentioned 14million when we know it was more... Some articles used to mention 17million, others around 20million...

What I find really interesting is how they debuted at #8 in the USA with Spiceworld despite Spice being a huge album. Obviously Spiceworld went on to be massive in its own right but was it common for such big acts to debut that low then climb in the album charts there?

Also really interesting to see how long their single stayed around the peak position areas for a few weeks too.

I remember it was actually referred as a disappointment since Spice was doing so well at the point. But Spice up your life was doing poorly on the radios (they were started to be snubbed because of over-saturation thing by then) since it debuted so low at 32 before climbing to top 20 solely on single sale. The album started doing better when they started to go to the US to promote it. I don’t know why they felt to release the album at the same time around the world since they could have added Mama or WDYTA as the final single for Spice and kept Spiceworld to be released around the movie was dropping in the US (late January 1998 I think?). I feel that was a mistake on them and the US Virgin team.

Posted by: Rebel 15th January 2023, 01:01 AM

And Spiceworld probably could have sold more (like maybe a million more) had they released Viva Forever as the final single like the rest of the world. But they didn’t. I think the US Virgin team f***ed their reputation up a lot in America. They could have been known as this incredible band with a classic like Viva Forever (that even the people who hate them have to admit that it’s an amazing song).

Found some new old chart positions for GH and Headlines and actually found surprising the chart run for Headlines in Italy, it did quite well actually... They should have toured there in 2007 for sure! Quite a few EU cities missed out on them. Places like Denmark, Norway and Netherlands, Finland, etc, were good touring places for them and I find it quite wild they didn't tour there in 2007/2008.

A couple of things:

It seems like Spice Up Your Life was a big hit in Spain, whereas Spiceworld the album, which was launched in Spain, wasn't... Specially after Spice had sold over 1million in Spain alone, thats f***ing mad!

Their singles charted much later in Spain than elsewhere... why were they released later? And no charting for singles in 1998 at all after Spice Up Your Life left the charts in January?

I don't know, but it is a very random chart history there lol

I find it quite strange Think about it did not appear anywhere on the Scottish charts after This Time's singles did decently there with her achieving 3 top 40s. Most of her singles at that point, and after were performing better on the Scottish charts.

Yes I thought seeing as ‘Too Much’ came out a few weeks after the movie in the U.S. and was a top 10 I was hoping for closer to 1 million. Similar to the UK, ‘Stop’ has done well in the digital and streaming era.

Posted by: Spice Girls Net 10th July 2023, 05:23 PM

'Who Do You Think You Are' - 222,000 SPS in the United States.

Not released as a single so it's a good amount. I'm interested to see what the total for 'Viva Forever' will be if we get it and also 'Goodbye'.

I’ve only just noticed how Spice Up Your Life is quite a bit higher than 2 Become 1, even though 2B1 was the bigger hit in the 90s. Although maybe that was a case of better Airplay going in 2 Become 1’s favour?

Posted by: Spice Girls Net 10th July 2023, 07:13 PM

I suppose songs like SUYL and Stop have fared better in the streaming era.

2B1 sold 700k by the end of 1997, I wonder how much it’s sold from the 1.1M without streams

Posted by: sammy01 10th July 2023, 07:21 PM

The Olympics no doubt helped SUYL and put it as the Spice Girls 2nd most known song for most after that.

I wasn't sure what to expect for Holler but I'm okay with those sales! Remembering that it only reached the Bubbling Under chart thanks to airplay, and wasn't actually released commercially there to get any pure sales in 2000.

Posted by: -Jay- 24th July 2023, 09:13 AM

That makes sense too though. The sales of Viva Forever and Holler are made up of downloads and streaming which occurred way after 1998 and 2000. Spiceworld did extremely well in the US & Viva Forever has better playlisting on streaming platforms than Holler, so as we can see from the revealed total sales, Viva Forever has ended up doing better. The fact that Holler was marketed as a single in the US almost feels like a moot point, because it wasn’t given the opportunity to sell pure copies in 2000, its airplay exposure was limited, so it wasn’t like it made such an impression that years after the fact it should be getting better downloads and streams in the US than Viva Forever.

Posted by: sammy01 24th July 2023, 10:27 AM

As Jay said those totals are purely from downloads and streams which didn't come into play till long after they had disbanded. So those sales are basically on what gets pushed and is more remembered in the digital age and I think we can all agree Holler is basically a forgotten single compared to Viva Forever especially when it comes to the girls and their social media.

Posted by: spiceboy 24th July 2023, 10:33 AM

That’s fair I didn’t realise it was streams and downloads only I thought this included a physical realise from 2000 too. I wonder why they didn’t release a physical? No wonder it bombed at #107!

I guess the girls never really had a chance with Forever in the US then. They were not very well played on US radio were they? Their main bulk of chart positions came from their physicals didn't they?

Lack of airplay for Holler combined with zero group promotion over there for the album... They might as well have not even bothered.

Posted by: -Jay- 24th July 2023, 02:51 PM

By the way #107 isn’t really its chart position! It peaked at #12 in the Bubbling Under chart and technically speaking that doesn’t equate to being #112 overall.

The reported #107 position (but really #7 on Bubbling) was indeed said back then, but it seems like it was misinformation and it was really #12? At least it says #12 on Wikipedia.

Bubbling Under is 25 songs that haven't charted in the Hot 100 yet, but it's not a 101-125 extension of the Billboard Hot 100, because in theory there'd be songs that had already charted in the Billboard Hot 100 but had dropped out, that would be doing better than some or all of those 25 uncharted songs. That's my understanding of it anyway.

Pretty sure the last update for the Greatest Hits album in the US was just over 1 million sales and that doesn't include the 600k sales from Victoria's Secret. So their album sales could be close to 14 million now.

Forever - 233,000
Greatest Hits - 1.4 million (800k) the remaining 600k is the VS shipment

Posted by: StephenN18 26th July 2023, 08:03 PM

US (Albums w/TEA w/SEA) - 12/11/2020 :

- Spice = 7,998,797 (7,493,124 physical)

- Spice World = 4,332,166 (4,186,046 physical)

- Forever = 233'104 (214,696 physical)

- Greatest Hits = 791',344 (148,109 physical)

Greatest Hits doesn't include Victoria's Secret Sales so would be at 1.4 million up to 2020.

Yep US album sales have a formula that basically includes everything down to even individual track downloads. So Wannabe will help the GH much more over in the US than the UK where they are much more tight on these things and even Wannabe's streams are downweighted.

The GH could easily be over 2m in the US now given how much streaming has grown in the 3 years since the last update.

The non-Wannabe songs listed above have barely outsold Wannabe combined (they add up to 7,156,000).

It's interesting to see which singles have sold more in the US than UK, and which have sold less. Less in the US: 2 Become 1, Goodbye, Holler, Headlines and of course WDYTYA and Viva Forever.

Just short of 14 million singles over there then and 14 million albums so about 28 million records, not bad really.

What about poor Mama?

I always wonder why they didn't tack on 'Mama' to the US single of 'Say You'll Be There' as it dropped on the same week as US Mother's Day.

Frankly, the US market was already labelling them as a 'kids act' so releasing Mama would have been even worse for that at the time.

What they should have done was release Who Do you Think You Are as well, for sure!!

Interesting, wonder what some of their popular album tracks like Love Thing, Move Over and NGUOTGT have sold in the US if Voodoo and Tell me why have done 10k.

I think it’s pretty impressive that streaming has increased Spice’s sales in the USA by nearly a million copies. You can start to believe the 30million worldwide sales they were claiming!

Thanks for the update. They would be mad not to at least update Spice cert in the US when it hits 10m copies as that is Diamond and a huge thing in the US. Especially if the Documentary and possible tour makes it happen sooner than expected.

Do we have a GH update too?

Posted by: Spice Girls Net 2nd January 2024, 07:38 PM

Nothing on the GH yet
