They have been super quick to update the 'Best Of' playlist. Christmas Wrapping removed, SUYL song number 1. Replacing the tagline of 'celebrating 25 years of Goodbye' with 'Spice up your 2024'.

 

It does seem that this year the finger might actually be pulled out with it being a celebratory year and projects to come.

YAY :cheer: Thank you SGN!!

Greatest Hits is on #98 on iTunes UK charts

 

Probably a result of Royal Mail and British Exhibition marketing?

The alternative ‘Too Much’ music video reached 1 million views on YouTube.

The SYBT video has reached 90 million streams

:cheer: Is there a known timeframe for when we should expect it to reach 100m?

Kworb estimates October 2026. Ironically the week of its 30th anniversary.

There is a Spice Girls Mother's day card that has a QR code that leads you to streaming it on Spotify, Apple music or Youtube. It is a 'Say it with songs' card, which is a good idea tbh. The song is obviously Mama and the card is enviromentally friendly. Record labels are behind this so it is sort of official.

 

You can get them from Sainsburys (not sure on other places that stock Mother's day cards) or order online here -

If you look on the website, there's also a 2 Become 1 card. There may be more, but I haven't checked.

Mama

Always nice on Mother's day when Mama gets a big boost.

 

Amazing that Universal are too lazy to take advantage. Imagine how well a 7 inch Mama vinyl would sell if put on pre-order in Jan to be released the Friday before Mothering Sunday. It could include a printed sheet with the lyrics on one side and a 'To......... Love always.......' on the other side where you could fill it in as a gift to your mother.

 

A nice present idea, a Spice Girls fans collectors item too. No brainer.

I'd buy it for my mother for sure.

I guess the reason they are not putting out anything because they don't achieve the sales target that they want. Their Wannabe vinyl is still available. We'll buy anything but us fanbase is just too small. Those who attend the concerts don't buy their music anymore.

That's because they have no legacy. It's also part of the reason why the musical flopped (apart from being shite). They needed to have at least 5 albums to really cement a legacy.

This is absolutely not true. The Wannabe vinyl was a big success (#1 on the vinyl singles chart and has charted for over a year in total).

 

Spice re-entered the charts at #5 with its anniversary edition.

 

The GH picture disc vinyl was #1 on the vinyl chart.

 

I've spoken to someone connected to Universal and they just don't care about the Spice Girls for several reasons. Firstly they aren't signed so aren't a priority, secondly they are an anomoly in that their team have little to no interaction with the Universal team, it is a very odd set up. Thirdly with very little work the Spice Girls music earns good money any way through streaming. Wannabe did 620k streams Friday on Spotify alone.

 

Spice and Wannabe are about as big as any UK 90s female artists stream full stop.

 

If Spice Girls were with another label they would be getting loads more effort put in. Let's be real a Mama vinyl at Mother's day would sell a heck of a lot more than a Steps Deeper Shade of Blue vinyl but it is the latter being released.

Steps' recent vinyls (not just the RSD one) are issued by Demon. It shows that even Sony are not interested.
