Hollier, Not Such an Innocent Girl and Out of Your Mind to win! Once In My Life to do really well! They really should cover that and release it as a single after W.O.M.A.N, do a full dance-pop album aka Madonna.

Click artwork to view the music videos!

2.455 - 78. Half of Me GERI HALLIWELL
3.977 - 77. I Want Candy MELANIE C
4.682 - 76. Angels in Chains GERI HALLIWELL


Geri wins the wooden spoon with her 2013 single Half of Me! It was only released in Australia, New Zealand and Vietnam, and charted at a mere #281 in Australia. Its release coincided with her stint as a judge on Australia's Got Talent. Geri described the song as a mix of "love, hope and optimism, with a splash of humour".

Also out at this early stage is Melanie C's 2007 cover version of I Want Candy, which was the second single from her fourth album This Time (first single in some territories, including the UK). Its music video was something of a success on YouTube, reaching #1 in the most viewed chart with over 200,000 views in its first day of release. It became a Top 10 hit in Italy & Denmark, but fared less well in the UK at #24.

Poor Geri sees her two most recent singles crash out in this section! Angels in Chains was released in 2017 as a tribute to George Michael, who sadly passed away in 2016 - she had had a close friendship with him since the late 90s. Unfortunately the single failed to make the UK Top 100, and to date it remains her final solo single.

Oops sorry for not getting round to voting in the 2005-2019 round </3 for what it's worth, 'Half Of Me' would've almost certainly got a -1 from me, so bad laugh.gif

Half of Me got what it deserved angel.gif It's easily my least favourite solo single (unless we count the incredibly dire Cosmic Shower, which we didn't include in this rate kink.gif )

4.857 - 75. Cool as You MELANIE C
4.932 - 74. Today MEL B
5.014 - 73. Word Up MEL B
5.182 - 72. I Know Him So Well MELANIE C
5.204 - 71. Lullaby MEL B


First out in this bunch is Cool As You. Melanie C collaborated with Slovakian singer-songwriter Peter Aristone on this collaboration back in 2014. There is not much to say about this song which kinda says it all.

Also out is Mel B's Today which was recorded in her kitchen; can you believe it? Released on 13 June 2005 in the United Kingdom, it entered and peaked at #41, staying in the Top 100 for two weeks.

Word Up was Mel B's (or Melanie G's x) second single, released in June 1999! The cover of Cameo's 1980s hit charted at #13 in the UK, making it the first Spice related single to miss the Top 10. It didn't end up being included on Mel's debut album Hot (apart from as a Japanese bonus track!).

The next song out is I Know Him So Well by Melanie C featuring Emma Bunton. It was the first time that two Spice Girls had worked together since the Return of the Spice Girls tour. The song was the first single to be taken from Melanie C's musical theatre-inspired and sixth studio album Stages, and it didn't chart in the Top 100.

The last one of this bunch is Mel B's Lullaby. It was released on 4 June 2001 and peaked at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart, selling 38,898 copies as of 2009. The music video and single cover feature her daughter Phoenix Chi Gulzar.

No major losses there in particular! All songs I quite enjoy but none are essential.

The definitive version of Word Up in music history is Melanie G's version, and that's the tea on that x

Everything is correct so far, but poor Word Up by Mel B sad.gif I Want Candy woulda been last if Other Half of Me exists, but rhat is definitely the worst Spice song ever, closely followed by Candy eith a Mexican Mariarqui band beat.

5.333 - 70. Melt MELANIE C
5.364 - 69. Desire GERI HALLIWELL
5.400 - 68. Hold On MELANIE C
5.407 - 67. We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight EMMA BUNTON
5.409 - 66. Better Alone MELANIE C


Starting off the Top 70 is Melanie C's Melt. It was released as the third and final single from her second solo album, Reason. The song was released as a double A-side with "Yeh Yeh Yeh" in the United Kingdom and entered the UK Chart at #27. It was the last single from Melanie before she was dropped by Virgin. For me the other A-side Yeh Yeh Yeh was far more superior than this track.

In 69th we have Geri's Desire. The song was released on 30 May 2005 as the Passion album's second and final single. It peaked at number 22 on the UK Singles Chart. Desire metaphorically describes the persona as a feline with sexual desires. Despite the sexy video it didn't turn me exactly straight lol.

Melanie C's Hold On, a duet with Alexis Francis, charted at 68 in this chart - that's higher than any other chart, because according to Wikipedia it didn't chart anywhere in the world. It was released on the 17th March 2017 as the 3rd single of Version Of Me.

At 67 we have Emma's We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight. Despite being a very summery track it was released on the 10th of December 2001. This release date might have been the reason why it wasn't the success she might have hoped it would be - it debuted and peaked at #20 in the UK singles Chart. At that time it was considered a flop for a solo Spice single; at that point in time it was the lowest singles chart position a Spice Girl had achieved.

We're ending this bunch with Melanie C's Better Alone at 66. It was released as the second single from her third album Beautiful Intentions on the 1st of August 2005. The song is a piano-backed ballad which covers themes such as independence and emancipation from a stifling relationship. Some people think it's her answer to being dropped by Virgin, others think it's about her not wanting to reunite with the other Spice Girls at the time. It was re-released in Germany, Austria and Switzerland in 2006 after the huge success of First Day of My Life, accompanied with a new video filmed in Germany.

Desire is so underrated! cry.gif I'm pretty sure the fan base were mostly enjoying it until it charted at #22 lol. Same for We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight really, it's a nice bop, I don't get what's supposedly terrible about it!

None of the Melanie C songs here are amongst her best. I'll always be a bit bewildered by Better Alone being chosen as the second single. Presumably Melanie feared a bad chart position in the UK considering she deliberately made it chart eligible... but then following First Day of My Life she/the label considered it worthwhile to film a second video and push it in Europe. drama.gif
