Very happy to know their singles look much healthier compared to 1997. Fingers crossed I get more sales info for the singles at least.

 

I reckon if they did 900k in 1997 alone what are the chances they did say 300k in 1998 - is that realistic? SYBT could be nearer to 2m in the next couple of years.

 

 

I don’t see how they would have sold another 300k in 1998? Was it still charting? As we know once it fell of the charts sales didn’t continue like now.

    Last sales update from 2 years ago for Wannabe in the US were 6.8million. Maybe about 7.5 million now! That's both physical and downloads/streaming sales.

    According to 100 best selling albums of the 90s book in the USA, Spice is the 38th best selling album with 10,150,000 sales in the USA.

Well regardless of the charts I just mean that it must have still been available in stores on a CD single. I remember still seeing all of the Spice Girls singles in HMV London up until 1999.

They certainly were not available in MHV or Virgin Megastores Leeds for that long, they stocked them for their chart life and then they were no longer available. I used to go into those stores once a month with my dad (I remember him trying to talk me out of getting I want you back because he hated the song :lol: )

I guess it wasn’t the same everywhere I guess 😊

 

I think if the figure is 1.509 I’m hoping that if you included a few sales from 1998 at least then maybe 1.6m in total.

 

I just wish their label would update a few more of their certifications. We don’t even know their single sales in countries like Spain and Canada and places like Australia have not been updated for over 20 years.

Found a couple of chart positions in Croatia :wub:

 

Stop #10*

Holler #1

 

*Stop had already been on the charts for 10 weeks so I can't find it's actual peak.

References/links on their Wiki pages. Sadly can't find anymore as there are only screenshots for those two releases.

Holler :wub:

 

Thanks for sharing

Holler at #1 😍 That could be Stop’s peak!? Did songs climb up charts over there or peak in first week etc?

 

Annoyingly there's only a few screenshots for a few weeks of 1998 and 2000.

 

When Stop was at #10 it had already been in the charts for 10 weeks so it's likely it peaked higher. Wish we knew :blink:

Was listening to Viva Forever after it poped up on my twitter feed this morning and thought I would give it a look online.

 

Found out these positions (some of which are not included in the main post here, so please could you update that?):

According to the LM forum they group have got the most certifications for a girl group in Brazil.

 

I asked, but got no reply, to ask if Brazil update their certifications automatically like the BPI?

It would also be interesting to know the updates of the certifications in Australia, they have not been updated for 20 years!

Apart from the UK and a few updates of the odd single/album in another country here and there, most of their certifications haven't been updated since 1998/1999 :melb:

Exactly! We hope for new updates🤞🤞

 

Do we know if these numbers are true? I cant find it anywhere....

 

Anyway, almost 1million sales in Brazil is very very good :cheer: If this is true, they are only behind Little Mix
