44million streams just in the UK is amazing :teresa:

 

Shame it hasnt topped 800,000 yet but it sold roughly 70,000 copies in less than one year so WE MOVE :cheer:

 

I wish it was added to more nostalgia/throwback playlists instead of Wannabe. HELL any of their upbeat singles could easily be classed as an iconic throwback, from Who Do You Think You Are to Spice Up Your Life and Stop, any of them deserve much better recognition considering their legendary status that always resonate well with the General Public.

I'm so glad OCC have given us a sales update for Stop 25 :cheer:

 

Just a shame they haven't put the entire pure sales figure which was 404k a while ago.

 

So it must be

 

334k physical cd singles

70k downloads

44 million streams

776k total units

Edited by Spice Girls Net

So great to have a new Stop total, though like Spice Girls Net says a bit annoying that they didn't give us a pure figure (and not giving download sales).

 

Also noticed that Stop has way more streams than It's Like That in the UK. 44m vs. 26.5m streams. At least in the age of streaming, Stop has had the last laugh! [EDIT: I checked the previous article from March 2021, and actually, 26.5m streams for Run DMC was quoted back then. So they forgot to update it... lol x]

 

Annoyingly OCC overwrites older articles. Here's the previous article from 18th March 2021:

Top 40 flashback to this week in 1998: Stop ends Spice Girls' run of consecutive Number 1s

Plus see how the rest of the Top 40 looked this week 23 years ago, including new entries from Texas, Kylie Minogue and The Wombles.

 

They'd been an unstoppable force on the Official Singles Chart for almost two years, but this week in 1998, the Spice Girls discovered they couldn't always get what they want, what they really, really want.

 

After six straight chart-toppers, which kicked off with million-selling Wannabe in summer 1996, the ladies' run of good luck was thwarted by a bit of a surprise. Jason Nevins' banging reworking of Run DMC's It's Like That had been a smash all over Europe, and on its release in the UK, demand was high.

 

The unthinkable happened: Spice Girls went straight in at Number 2, while Run DMC and Jason took it all the way.

 

Spice Girls' Stop – the third single from their sophomore effort Spiceworld, had impressive first-week sales of over 115,000, but this was dwarfed by It's Like That's monster numbers – a whopping 242,796 copies flew off the shelves to see it romp home to Number 1.

 

Stop's lifetime combined sales stands at 638,000, made up of 404,000 pure sales and 27.2 million streams

 

There was much hype in the media about the Spice Girls missing the big one for the first time, and indeed, in a way, it did spell the beginning of the end. While there was another single to come with Geri – Viva Forever – by the time of its official release, she had departed, meaning Stop is kind of their last one with her as a part of the group. For a few years anyway.

 

Looking at the rest of the Official Singles Chart that week, Texas continued their streak of Top 10 hits, notching up their fifth consecutive one with their Wu-Tang Clan collaboration Say What You Want/Insane (yes this really happened), while Italian Europop star Alexia landed at 10 with her debut single Uh La La La.

 

Further down, The Wombles had resurfaced and landed at 13 with a re-release of their signature hit Remember You're A Womble, and Kylie Minogue was in the middle of her experimental phase; the third single from her Impossible Princess album, Breathe, entered at 14.

 

If it was any consolation to the Spices, they were beaten to the top by a true phenomenon. It's Like That spent six weeks at the top and is a million-seller (1.32 million pure sales to be precise, plus 26.5 million streams). Spice Girls' fans may not like it, but that's the way it is. HUH.

The most recent official sales figures we have for Spice Girls singles and albums:

 

2,244,000 - Wannabe (circa August 2022)

1,395,000 - 2 Become 1 (circa August 2022)

1,200,000 - Spice Up Your Life (30th December 2022)

1,165,500 - Say You'll Be There (circa August 2022)

977,000 - Goodbye (8th December 2022)

914,500 - Mama/Who Do You Think You Are (circa August 2022)

826,500 - Viva Forever (circa August 2022)

776,000 - Stop (16th March 2023)

756,000 - Too Much (circa August 2022)

322,000 - Holler/Let Love Lead the Way (circa August 2022)

59,636 - Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) (13th November 2020)

 

3,022,958 - Spice (12th November 2021)

1,630,367 - Spiceworld (23rd December 2022)

726,670 - Greatest Hits (11th November 2022)

272,196 - Forever (13th November 2020)

 

 

Stop is currently on course to pass 800,000 in July 2023 / 900,000 in November 2024 / 1,000,000 in April 2026 / 1,100,000 in September 2027 / 1,200,000 [2xPlatinum] in January 2029! As things stand it would overtake Viva Forever in August 2024, at which point they'd both be on about 877,000. So in possibly less than 18 months from now, Stop could move up to becoming the second best selling single from Spiceworld.

 

Estimates for March 2023:

 

2,330,800 - Wannabe

1,418,300 - 2 Become 1

1,210,000 - Spice Up Your Life

1,183,500 - Say You'll Be There

980,700 - Goodbye

934,400 - Mama/Who Do You Think You Are

840,000 - Viva Forever

776,000 - Stop (Real figure to compare it to the estimations)

762,000 - Too Much

326,900 - Holler/Let Love Lead the Way

63,300 - Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)

'Stop' really does feel like one of their most well-remembered songs these days.

 

Of course it's a shame it ruined their streak, but I feel like the story makes for an interesting footnote in chart history.

Would it take a miracle to get Headlines to 100k?

 

It would just take it taking off for some reason on tiktok or pushed in some way by the girls, though seen as they ignore it that seems highly unlikely.

Would it take a miracle to get Headlines to 100k?

 

The song has been between 55-60k for the past decade. Sadly I don't think it'll ever get to 100k

If only everyone who streamed Wannabe would also stream Headlines, then Headlines would get to a total of 100k in 10 weeks! As it stands it'll likely take 25 years! :lol:
Do we know anyone who works at Spotify we could ask to mislabel Headlines Wannabe for 10 weeks?
Do we know anyone who works at Spotify we could ask to mislabel Headlines Wannabe for 10 weeks?

 

I don't mind sleeping with some Spotify CEO to do this, just bring me the bast*rd :teresa:

But if it gets certified it might bring attention to the fact it exists.

 

 

So if it's going to take 25 years for it to hit 100k... to be certified we are looking at what 75 years? :lol:
