Christmas Wrapping up to #5 on their popular list on Spotify.

 

Will be #2 in no time as #2-#5 of their most popular all stream very similar numbers daily.

 

Do we know how much it is streaming at the moment? They might be making some money from it since it is also on radio a bit?

Just on the Too Much anniversary celebrations still, this is still one of their best ever performances of it:

 

 

I utterly love the performance they all sound amazing!

It has spent the last 9 days doing between 100k-130k daily. Will obviously rise as we get closer to Christmas. Last year it peaked at over 400k Christmas eve.

Was it already mentioned that Geri was on Radio 2 on Monday? Nicki Chapman was standing in for Zoe Ball on her breakfast show. Nicki started playing Christmas Wrapping and Geri said "what is this?!" and then confessed after the song played that she'd never heard it before! :lol: She praised it though. It seems she didn't know the original Waitresses version either.

 

About 2 hours 14 minutes in: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m001t03b

 

I suppose there's no particular reason why she should know it when she'd left the band, it's just funny to think 25 years have passed without her ever being aware of one of the songs in the Spice Girls catalogue. It makes me wonder if Mel B or Victoria would remember it either considering they didn't record it. I wonder if Emma and Melanie C remember it at least? Emma didn't include it in her Christmas show set lists.

^ Ha! How funny. Honestly, I guess I kinda expected Geri to know the song just because it does so well with the group's streaming numbers around this time every year. At least, I'd figure Geri would have more reason to know Christmas Wrapping over anything off Forever, bar the singles she's performed on tour herself.

 

Geri definitely paid attention to all things sales and chart positions once upon a time...but I guess that doesn't necessarily extend to streaming. I'd just figure she'd have looked on Most Played lists before now and seen that title before.

Her reaction going 'what is this' is hilarious :lol:

 

Yeah I was surprised too but it just shows how disconnected with their own catalogue they are. It's literally one of their most streamed Christmas songs, plays on radio and quite popular now. I wonder if any of them even know that it does so well?... :manson:

 

I do think they should definitely invest in a lyric video for it. It would do so well at this time of the year, damn!

I'm not entirely surprised she doesn't know it. It hasn't been till this last 2 years it has taken off. Sleigh Ride was the Christmas song that did better and was promoted more till recently.

 

Christmas Wrapping is up to #4 on their popular list on Spotify.

Fun fact, it isnt even in the official Spice at Christmas playlist on their Spotify page :rolleyes:

I have flagged that up twice already but will probably fall on deaf ears. Ridiculous it isn't on there anyway.

 

I was told the Spotify page will be getting an update soon.

Where do you contact them to flag these things up? I would love to send them an email with some suggestions actually lol

 

But GOOD that the Spotify page will get an update... that profile picture really needs to go and their official playlists need a tidying up :unsure:

They have added Christmas Wrapping to 'A very Spicy Christmas' and put Goodbye as track 1.

 

Now just to get Christmas Wrapping on 'This is'

They have added Christmas Wrapping to 'A very Spicy Christmas' and put Goodbye as track 1.

It's about time :cheer:

 

 

I wish Sleigh Ride would get some more playlist attention too, preferably the Jack Frost OST version because it's short and I dare say more palatable for a general audience than the B Side version.

 

Releasing a new EP like this would be nice, to consolidate their Christmas related songs and Christmas #1s into one release. They could even call the EP 'Christmas Wrapping' so all the songs come up together if someone was to search for that song.

 

1. Christmas Wrapping

2. Sleigh Ride (Edit)

3. 2 Become 1 (Single Version)

4. Too Much (Radio Edit)

5. Goodbye (Radio Edit)

6. Sleigh Ride (Full Length)

Christmas Wrapping up to #2 on their Spotify popular list.

 

2 become 1 is track #1 on the Throwback Thursday playlist and Spice Girls are the cover photo.

This would be so perfect DAMN why can't we have nice things?? :blink:

 

They could even go out on a limb and put their Christmas Medley from Earl's Court on there too at the end :teresa:

Nice! Although I wish Goodbye would get that playlist placement :blink:

Well, I hope this isn't the anniversary celebration we get for Goodbye :blink:

If that's it, I'm pretty pissed off... I didn't expect a vinyl or even merch this time but AT LEAST a lyric video damn...

 

This does NOT bode well for Forever 25 :snif:

Poor Goodbye :( It deserves so much better than what the girls and Universal give it...

 

Here's some stellar moments from over the years that truly showcase what a gorgeous MOMENT in pop history it is. What is your favourite performance from Goodbye?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And whislt I dont love the mix, here is a great celebratory video from LipeHall:

My favourite version is definitely the Earls' Court one. I think the arrangement and vocals really work there and it is overall a gorgeous performance.

After that, probably the Brits' version followed by the 2019 tour, where it really sounded amazing again!

Well, I hope this isn't the anniversary celebration we get for Goodbye :blink:

Pretty sure that's it for Goodbye25; another ship has sailed (unless, of course, whatever they have on the table in 2024 will be how it's acknowledged somehow)

 

Goodbye is one of their lowest streaming singles so I'm not surprised they paid the 25th anniversary dust.
