Greatest Hits placed at #164 on Friday! happy.gif 868 sales last week, 573,488 total. Didn't chart in the Top 100s of the Physical, Sales or Download charts this week.

Yeah even something like that would be better than what we have right now... They did do some posting of that kind around the Xmas singles anniversaries, so hopefully more and better would be done.. They could literally put links to the Spotify/iTunes argh.

Anyway, lets keep replying to their stories/insta posts with this kind of thing and make sure they know they need a new strategy lol

Looks like someone has been reading this, they did a feature on Spice Valentine's songs on their Insta stories yesterday, linking to the This Is Spice Girls playlist on Spotify

The valentine's playlist was a step in the right direction only it had some ridiculous song choices. Love thing? the song about not wanting a guy, TLC waterfalls?

Maybe they will just turn it into a 90s playlist after Valentine's day.

Greatest Hits climbed to #157 this week! This is its 15th week in the Top 200 since it reentered in November 2018, which is its longest unbroken stretch in the chart! It only managed 14 weeks in its original 2007/8 chart run.

I read on chartplus sheet that first position of Bag it up was the promo. So your guess it is correct!

I think you should include all the uk charts in this topic like alternative, phisical, airplay and so on..

Hopefully someday I'll get around to this, although I might open a different thread for these so it doesn't get too cluttered. I wish it was easier to check on Official Charts Company for physical chart runs, I haven't checked them for a long time so I'm not sure if anything Spice Girls related has randomly reentered in recent years.

Didn't Desire randomly re-enter a couple of years ago on the physical singles chart, which was obviously 1 copy sold.

Finished Melanie C's singles section! http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...t&p=5795674

So many singles not charting cry.gif

Wasn't really sure what to include on her page and what to exclude. unsure.gif

I haven't included: Let's Love, First Day of My Life, The Moment You Believe, Understand, Rock Me, Let There Be Love or Let's Groove, given that this is a UK charts topic, and all of these singles aren't considered as being UK releases (although I'd say Rock Me is a bit of a grey area considering it was actually released to UK download stores~).

I've included: I Don't Know How to Love Him & Numb (I've noted them as being promotional singles) & Cosmic Shower (noting it as being a charity single). I've also included Cool as You, as well as all of the Version of Me singles. None of these songs charted in the UK official singles chart.

The thing is, I'm wondering whether I should just remove these "did not chart" moments. Maybe this page should only be focusing on what actually charted?

Jay you did a great job, I think it's okay that you have also included individuals who have not entered the rankings in the uk, makes everything more 'complete information

Removing the did not chart will remove half of Mel C's discography 🙈

Thanks for the updates Jay baby x

Those last few Mel C singles info is quite tough reading blink.gif She really took a nosedive with Reason hey? That album really destroyed her selling power in the UK and has only gotten progressively worse since.

All power to her for continuing to do what she loves!

I think the DNC should stay, otherwise people might think they weren't released in the UK.

And yeah, Reason utterly wrecked a promising career.

The fact that she can't even sell 10k of an album these days is horrible. I think Anymore, Dear Life and Hold On were actually playlisted on Radio 2 too!

Yeah it is so sad how quickly her career nosedived. Same with Geri I guess - after the main album, boom down the drain. Loads of different factors helped this of course, as maybe their first albums were released whilst the Spice Girls still had some selling power, but after 2000, nothing sold much apart from What Took You So Long and It's Raining Men.

Also, I was just thinking about this, but Here It Comes Again and On The Horizon were really terrible singles to lead an album campaign. The first is just a plodding middle of the road song that doesnt really do much and the former is a copy and paste from the sound of the guy who wrote it in the first place. Not that she had much more in the album to save it. She should have released Reason at some point, followed by Yeh Yeh Yeh but I don't know what she could have released after to promote the album as it is full of mediocre stuff...

The lack of good sales at the time had many factors: general sales were down across the industry, solo Spice wasnt something the public and the press were very interested in anymore AND the quality of the music put out wasnt that great either....

A shame..

On the horizon only gets stick because Mel C doesn't like it. It peaked higher on radio than her big comeback single Herw it comes again. It was incredibly radio friendly and a great single choice.

Here it comes again and her very unlikable personality at that time killed her career.

Geri killed her own career, fancy not bothering with a 4th single because the previous one only peak at #7 🙄 She could and should have pushed a 4th single and done a small tour, got the album over 200k sales. She ran away and when she came back it was too long gone.

Circles round the moon would have been a great 4th single, she could have sang it live here and there to build up to a tour
