Did it even get to the iTunes charts at all?

A monumental flop lol

It's just waaaay too niche interest to get particularly great numbers, and so dated/low quality sounding that it won't inspire repeated listens.

I had a listen to it again just now and yeah it is one of their worst possible demos that we know of lol... at least Feed Your Love was somewhat more listenable and was 'new'. We had this and in this quality already, and it sucks lol

Gosh Viva Forever is now TWICE on their Spotify Top10 😅

The single edit beat Goodbye to be in 10th place and the main version in now at #4 above 2 Become 1

Between the two versions it is doing around 110k streams everyday, which means it is the third most streamed of their catalogue overall after Wannabe and Say You'll Be There.

Is justice FINALLY being served to the all-time classique that is Viva Forever? It seems to have picked up proper pace since Victoria sang it early this year and it went viral, so maybe it is selling at a better rate than we expect lol

Amazing

So.... it looks like The Singles Collection did not chart in any iTunes chart so far has it?.... £100 it is not surprising...

BUT I have a couple of questions that maybe @Spice Girls Net or @-Jay- might know the answer to:

• Instead of buying the full collection on digital, I have only purchased the individual tracks of the singles (a total of 14!). Do these count towards the individual songs' totals or does it only count towards the Singles Collection?

• Do purchases and streams of remixes of a single - say, Holler - count towards that single's total or do the remixes get their own sales totals?

• Do the streams that come directly from the individual EPs that are also included in The Singles Collection count towards it or towards the EPs or towards the Greatest Hits?

Just towards he individual song totals!

Purchases/streams of remixes count towards the sales of the main song - so sitting through a MAW remix (lol x) counts towards "Holler".

Streams from the individual EPs... well, they should count towards the singles totals for sure. So if you listened to the "2 Become 1" EP from start to finish, any versions of that song would count towards 2 Become 1's sales. However streams of the B Sides included wouldn't contribute to 2 Become 1's sales, but simply to themselves (stream One of These Girls = adding a little to One of These Girls' sales total). Streaming those 2 Become 1 mixes directly from The Singles Collection would also count towards 2 Become 1 sales.

Regarding albums... honestly it's complicated, but as far as I gather, the record label nominates which compilation album they want streams to contribute to. So they might have informed the OCC that from now on they want streams to target that over Greatest Hits. I think it's the case that regardless of what the record label have requested, streams should go towards The Singles Collection this week because it will undoubtedly have sold more pure sales than Greatest Hits this week. In the event that this reverses and Greatest Hits sells more pure copies in a week than The Singles Collection, technically the streaming sales would go back to being for Greatest Hits (unless "The Singles Collection is nominated by the record label" is what happens, and then poor Greatest Hits' sales per week would really slow down).

As an additional note, any of the songs that are included on The Singles Collection that are also included on a studio album, would contribute towards the totals of those studio albums. So stream Viva Forever from The Singles Collection, from the Viva Forever EP, from Greatest Hits... it is counted to Spiceworld also. Then there's the additional rule regarding "the top 2 most streamed songs from an album are downweighted to the average streams of the other tracks combined" - and last I knew, the top 16 songs (or is it top 14 songs?) from an album will contribute to the studio album's sales. If a studio album had 20 songs on it, then the least streamed tracks wouldn't be included in the calculations. That is to say, not all of the unique songs on The Singles Collection would count towards sales of The Singles Collection. So let's say you're streaming Spice Invaders, that's definitely not within their top songs and therefore giving it a listen would not benefit The Singles Collection.

By the way this is just my understanding of things - I could be misinformed about various things! I find it complicated, and honestly somewhat unenjoyable, to try and make sense of how the OCC charts are compiled these days. 🙁 It meant so much more to me many years ago when it was based on physicals and downloads. Streaming really changed the game with all the formulas involved to convert them into sales. Achieving these sales, it quite heavily rely on the strength of playlisting. That's why Spice Girls Greatest Hits sadly doesn't achieved thousands of sales per week like many other compilations albums do. The overall catalogue just isn't streamed widely enough to strongly benefit the Greatest Hits.

It’s just cheating, really. I just read that Little Mix sold like 75 millions album copies. The f*** not! How much did they inflate that from streaming alone?

OMG thank you for that explanation... It sort of makes sense but yeah it is a mess and they should streamline how it all works...

The most outrageous seems to be the 'only the Top16 tracks count' instead of all the songs within an album/collection. That makes no sense to me because the other songs still exist and should help pilling up on an album's units.

One thing I am not clear on for sure is: since I have bought 14 individual songs from the The Collection on iTunes, the sales will each count towards each individual songs. However, if next year I buy the remaining full set at once, the sales will still count towards The Singles Collection and the other individual sales would be downgraded?

A mess overall lol.... I agree with you @-Jay- that it does not make it fun at all, just more complicated and probably easier for record labels to inflate numbers overall...

Also can someone call EMI/Virgin to sort out their streaming presence on proper playlists?... it is embarrassing now badly tehy stream...

Most of the Collection's new tracks barely have made 1,000 streams so far and their streams overall seem to be quite down at the moment
