Thanks so much for sharing, incredible to finally have a US sales update. Who's the source?

 

You’re welcome

 

A generous fan who has a contact with access to the Nielsen SoundScan which tracks sales.

Thanks for sharing. Did they give the other singles sales too? Like Goodbye and Headlines.

I’m still waiting for Too Much and Goodbye. If they both get updated with Headlines I will post another reel

Thank you! :wub: and this includes streaming or is it just pure?

Physical sales, downloads and streaming units.

 

I’m not sure how much ‘Wannabe’ does per month or year but it won’t be long until it goes 7x platinum in the USA

Great!!

 

Let's hope the label applies for updated certifications someday!

 

I'm curious about how much the non-US release singles (Mama, Who Do You Think You Are, Viva Forever, Let Love Lead the Way) might have done there. I wonder if any of the first 3 listed have managed to exceed Holler, even though that was a US single? :thinking:

I always wonder why they didn’t release Viva Forever maybe in the Aug/Sept of 1998 while they were on the U.S. tour

Think Stop was still 'the single' at that time. They really should have just released it though, for sure but maybe it would have added to the saturation they were already suffering from by then?

 

And also, they had Goodbye right at the end of the year so maybe releasing 3 ballads in the space of a year would have been a bit much for such a slow moving chart back then? :teresa:

Billboard wrote an article that Virgin had sent Viva Forever to US radio but it didn't gain much traction as they were deemed a 'tween' act (and proved true by the audiences on tour being largely made up of them)

Thank you 💥🥰

Great, thanks for sharing this information 💥🙏

 

If I get anymore I will share 😊

Would love for all their official releases to be over 1 million! I mean Headlines is NEVER going to do it, but the other releases should all be close enough.

Thank you! :wub:

 

I guess Too Much sold more CDs/cassettes than Stop? But Stop’s gone ahead thanks to downloads and streaming!

Yes I thought seeing as ‘Too Much’ came out a few weeks after the movie in the U.S. and was a top 10 I was hoping for closer to 1 million. Similar to the UK, ‘Stop’ has done well in the digital and streaming era.

'Who Do You Think You Are' - 222,000 SPS in the United States.

 

Not released as a single so it's a good amount. I'm interested to see what the total for 'Viva Forever' will be if we get it and also 'Goodbye'.

wow amazing, great sales for a non-single,curious to know goodbye

I’ve only just noticed how Spice Up Your Life is quite a bit higher than 2 Become 1, even though 2B1 was the bigger hit in the 90s. Although maybe that was a case of better Airplay going in 2 Become 1’s favour?

I suppose songs like SUYL and Stop have fared better in the streaming era.

 

2B1 sold 700k by the end of 1997, I wonder how much it’s sold from the 1.1M without streams
