According to the official global music industry report.

https://techcrunch.com/2019/04/02/streaming...ldwide-in-2018/

 

Digital download market started to appear in 2004 with very tiny market share, streaming started to show up in early 2010s with very small share as well, it was growing 2013-2014, Billboard started to count streaming as sales in Dec. 2014, right now it's taking over the market. So Wannabe's 2.91 million number in the US was before Dec. 2014 right? Then I would say it was pure sales. Streaming is generating huge revenue but artists only get a tiny cut, most of the money goes to streaming services themselves but it helps new artists to build the fan base globally, grows their sale numbers if they have crazy stans to stream their music day in day out, keeps active veteran artists alive and relevant, artists can cash in later with touring (which is also growing constantly and generating massive revenue) or sponsorship deals or whatever. Only Adele can still sell her albums in this streaming era. With this rate if they're lazy like this and so scared of failure, they'll be surpassed in terms of sale numbers soon. The movie is a brilliant idea but they need to do more. The world tour would also hype up the fans around the world, Netflix was also a smart move to keep their faces in circles of streaming world as the 90s legendary icons, they have to release more new music as well, but it's the Spice Girls so we won't get any of those things.

I came across this article and it mentions that Melanie C - ft Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes collaboration 'NBTSA' reached the #1 spot in 35 countries. Is this true ?? :???:

Spice went on to be 1997's best selling album.

1998 was a tough year for them, they were facing the gigantic Titanic/Celine Dion, yet at one point still managed to have 2 albums in the top ten.

Thanks for posting :wub: Impressively consistent sales!

 

Interesting to learn that Spiceworld achieved some higher weekly sales than Spice, although it figures with it being out at Christmas time. Wow at Spiceworld passing 1 million sales before it managed to climb into the Top 5.

Technically is not possible.

 

 

How is it technically not possible? :lol: I mean it's not true, but "technically not possible" isn't quite the statement is it :lol:

Thank you for the USA top 10 sales, much appreciated 😊

Wow thank you so much JaneJ !! it would be possible to have weekly sales in the top 10 also in the UK

The UK sales, I'm still waiting for Jay's promise. :P :cheer:

I’ve sadly given up hope with that; the member who said that they’d send the info to me didn’t end up doing so, unfortunately!

:cry:

 

Mean mean meaaaaaaan :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry: :cry:

I came across an archive website for the Japanese album charts from 2007 (As you do) and it seems that the

Spice Girls GH album go to #6 on the Japanese western album chart and #18 on the main chart :cheer:

Do we think the RIAA or ARIA for example are ever going to update the SG single certifications or are we going to have to wait until 2050 for the record company to pay for it 🤦‍♂️

I'm honestly shocked that they haven't gone the way of the BPI and just have automatic certifications.

The Greatest Hits album has been certified 'Gold' in Denmark for sales of 10,000 as of August 4th :cheer:

 

IFPI Denmark

 

Albums released after 2007 that were certified 'Gold' was 15,000, but I'm guessing as most of the sales have come from the streaming era its total probably is 10,000 max.

 

Still nice to get these updates :)

Stan a bit, Denmark *.*

I do love the GH has become a bit of a classic. I bet there are many places it could be certified that it isn't now too.
