Problem with streaming is they lag getting the data to the OCC as it is, Thursday streams are estimated on the trend of the week as they are a day late reporting data. If it took more time to seperate Scotland streams it probably wont be viable.

 

 

I mean if they can separate downloads between Scotland and England surely they can do the same for streams? My country needs it's own chart :michelle:

 

 

Your country has the best chart in the whole of the UK because our girls can still chart on it... totally my favourite one :wub: :wub: :wub:

I decided to compile a list of the Spice Girls worldwide peaks and the countries they achieved them in (because I'm really sad lol). Such a shame Forever and Headliens didn't peak at #1 anywhere as then their discography would be a flawless run of #1s :wub: Edit - Apparently Forever was #1 in Brazil :wub:

Great work! :wub: For Once in My Life made it to #30 in the UK Indie chart too!

Oops I got Today and For once in my life mixed up :lol: I'll change that.

Surprised WYG didn’t chart in more countries!

I think yo umight be missing some... wasnt the official claims that Wannabe had been #1 in over 30 countries, and that Say You'll Be There and 2 Become 1 had collectively been #1 in over that amount too?

 

Or maybe those are just *slightly* inflated numbers anyway B-)

Yeah I need to try and find some more, these were what I could find, there is a website somewhere that has more information I'm trying to remember what it was called... will do some more research.

Yeah fair dues. I was partly joking by the way, because the 31 countries figure for Say You'll Be There and 2 Become 1 seems HIGHLY inflated lol

 

Thanks for putting it all together by the way :wub:

You set me on a mission I'm determined to work it out B-)

 

Ps added some more to the album being #1, and apparently Forever was #1 in Brazil so just Headlines ruining that perfect run!

Slowly but surely making some changes to the first page! I've included fresh new banners for Emma and Melanie C. I've added in Melanie C's most recent singles.

I've updated the list with more worldwide #1 places for Spice Girls. ^_^

Your stats make this post on the first page seem even funnier lol:

 

The Spices really weren't that big.

 

They fall from likw 2 to 10 and then to 20 the next week :/

 

They were a hype band. Once the hype died, so did their sales

 

~~~~

 

The group singles and albums sections are fully updated! All the most recent sales, plus I've added sources for first week sales & certifications. I'll work my way through updating all the solo sections very soon!

I'm curious as to why it's 'Mama' that has the stand-alone sales when it was the leading track of the release. Surely it makes sense for 'Who Do You Think You Are' to have the separate saes?

I've wondered the same! I'm quite glad it's Who Do You Think You Are that is counted to the Double A Side entry considering that it performs better than Mama on streaming, but it is curious.

 

I seem to remember reading many years ago, maybe around the time of Leona - Better in Time/Footprints in the Sand's release, that a label was obliged to let the OCC know which track was the "main" track, and that one would have its downloads (and eventually streaming) counted towards the entry. I find it hard to imagine that labels went back through every Double A Side in their history to inform OCC which one of the two though. Perhaps OCC used their own judgement for Spice Girls and went with WDYTYA for no particular reason?

 

The download era really killed the concept of the Double A Side, it just didn't work and I'm kind of surprised Syco hadn't cottoned onto that by 2008. Leona having a separate entry for Footprints in the Sand looked so messy in her chart history! Shayne Ward had a similar problem with No U Hang Up/If That's OK With You.

What I want is Mama to go silver in it's own right too now it has an individual total as well as the joint total.

 

I really think it is time all the spice girls discography got special edition releases. To not have any expanded or deluxe editions of any of the 4 albums and non of the singles bar Wannabe (to tie in with Virgin's 40th birthday it got a picture disc vinyl) having any release is a bit sad and mind boggling.

 

Cassettes are in for collectors and all 4 albums could easily be released on limited edition cassettes. All the singles on 7 inch vinyls. Forever getting a vinyl release and deluxe versions of each album with a demo/b-sides and unreleased tracks extra disc.

 

Even the GH could easily have an expanded 2 disc version with Step to me, My strongest suit, live versions from 98/2019 and a studio version of We are family.

 

 

Slowly but surely making some changes to the first page! I've included fresh new banners for Emma and Melanie C. I've added in Melanie C's most recent singles.

 

Are there banners?! Why cant I see them? :mellow: I only ever saw a blank space and thought it was a curious choice lol

Need all of this to happen :cry: 7" vinyl collection for the singles would be amazing! Let me throw more of my money at you, Spice Girls -_-

Oh that's strange, I'm not sure why they wouldn't be showing up for you! :o These are the images at the top of each section:

Mel B's sections are now updated! Have to leave it there for tonight, but I'll endeavour to continue updating the other girls' posts tomorrow.
