I'm impressed! :o

 

It might actually be able to go double platinum if they keep promoting during the year. (and toss it up on Spotify)

Edited February 10, 20187 yr by tommie

Making it available on Spotify UK again really should be a top priority for their label! GH's total sales figure would have been a lot bigger than 515k if it had remained available, and it's likely missing out on spending many weeks inside the UK albums Top 200. *

 

This week it sold 1,312 copies [610 Downloads, 540 Streaming Units (the majority of this must come from Apple Music) & 162 CDs].

 

* Its sales increased by 161.4% this week, which means it sold 502 copies the week before. It took 759 copies to make it into the Top 200 that week. So if it was on Spotify, its weekly sales would likely be enough for it to make the Top 200 without any effort. Frustrating!

Awesome, thanks!

 

Shame about Holler being so low. Criminally underrated.

 

And I feel like it will be a matter of time till Say You'll Be There AND Spice Up Your Life pass the million mark :wub:

 

Am I right to think that if that happens they will be the only group in history to ever get to 4 million sellers??!!

 

poor Hollier :(

 

Up there with Toxic as one of the best pop songs EVER, but strangely I CAN'T see anyone else singing it. It's such a package, the video, the girls, the song, the Star Trek reference Vb sings, and I won't energise, to link to the sci-fi video, etc.

Do we know where the GH charted this week?

 

Also, the forum is no.1 AGAIN, for a second week running now! :cheer:

Awesome that it has passed the half a million mark I'm well chuffed with that considering in it's initial run it only went platinum and now it is closer to double platinum that platinum. Fingers crossed that the girls get their act together and tour this year to try push the GH over the double platinum border. Getting it on Spotify would help too, but actually I think it's more credit to them that they have achieved this mainly on physicals and downloads alone, you go girls!

The GH going double platinum this year would be great. Seems a tough ask but it went to #81 and sold 1.3k off the back of a photo. A proper announcement and it on Spotify and whatever they do do could really give it a huge push, especially if it coincides with xmas.

can't believe i only just saw the total.

 

 

AMAZING.

 

 

515k is incredible when it was just over platinum at the end of the reunion tour. I hope that any new package this year is a re-release with enhancements rather than a whole new product, so that they can keep building on it.

 

A reissue with a vinyl edition of the main disc and a CD/Download/Stream release with a bonus disc of tracks (some of the amazing b-sides such as 'Walk of Life' and 'Take Me Home' with some unreleased tracks 'Spice Is Back', 'Angels', 'Song For Her', 'Woman' etc)

Yeah I think a re-issue with a bonus CD and a vinyl is the way forwards. They are unlikely to sell alot of a brand new GH (as only die hard fans will buy a second one), wheres a re-issue will count towards the sales of the current GH and should easily push it over double platinum.

I mean, the GH shifts around 20k per year at this point without being available on Spotify, so just them being active and actually doing things should be able to push it to double platinum. Their priority for it should be to get it on Spotify, get it re-stocked in supermarkets, get it on vinyl and a bonus disc. Somewhat in that order.

Did the GH chart again on Friday? I cant seem to find the info...

Yes #154.

Thank you xx

Greatest Hits manages a third week in the Top 200 this year, falling to #191! Total sales now stand at 517,009.

Keep going GH Mother's day soon, Mama will hopefully keep it selling over the next couple of weeks. Then hopefully an announcement.

BPI confirms that 2 Become 1 has gone 2x Platinum with sales of 1.2 million 😃

Fantastic news, it’s about time! :wub:

 

Btw, Greatest Hits climbs up to #175 this week - 4th week in the chart this year!

Amazing, thanks for the info JAY! :kiss: :cool:

 

Wonder if Say You'll Be There will sooooooooon be known to have passed the 1million mark #WeAreReadyForIt

I am really irritated at not getting SYBT updates!!!

The problem is SYBT is another 200k+ plus away from 2x Platinum so unless there's another million sellers article or a Spice anniversary article on the Official Charts page, we may not know for a while :(
