The gap was 6% this morning, a few minutes ago it was 2% now it’s 6% again

No! Don't say that! :cry:

 

Has the link been posted in other message boards such as PoopJustice, etc.?

It has been mentioned! ( :lol: at Poopjustice)

 

I’m pretty convinced it’s being rigged, but oh well 😕

Amazing to see some behind the scenes footage after all this time! I honestly think it’s one of the best green screen (blue screen!) shot music videos… they managed to create magic :wub:

Such a nice thing to release!! I loved watching it, hope they continue to do more of these...

Such an iconic video :wub:

It is lovely they keep doing these, keeps their youtube channel active and gives more official content to watch.

It’s very nice! Interesting that they’ve used the Orchestral version.

I agree -- it's my favourite version of 2B1! Although, I will hand it to Georgie Porgie for the 2007 remix he did for the GH -- that was no easy task turning that ballad into a clubby song. I always wondered why they chose to have 2B1 remixed in 2007 instead of SYBT or NGUOTGT.

It is really cute indeed and hope they keep it coming!! Shame that didnt happen with Say You'll Be There though....

23, 24 and 25 years ago, Spice Girls were at the top of the UK charts with Goodbye, Too Much and 2 Become 1 :wub:

Happy Christmas to all of you, I hope you're all having a lovely day today :wub:

Merry Christmas Spice forum 🎄

2 Become 1 is included on the 4CD version of the latest 'NOW That's What I Call Christmas'. Not all that exciting, but maybe it'll pick up some extra streams. https://townsendmusic.store/product/103707

Top 40 Most Streamed Christmas Number 1s of all time

 

https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/b...mber-1s__38001/

 

It's 1 December, which means the Christmas season has officially kicked off!

 

To mark the occasion, BBC Radio 2's Steve Wright is revealing the Top 40 Most Streamed Christmas Number 1s of all time, compiled exclusively by the Official Charts Company for Radio 2 and BBC Sounds.

 

Over the past 70 years, the race for the coveted Christmas Number 1 spot has seen one-off novelty acts triumph over established superstars, ground-breaking charity hits, reality TV newbies instantly making their mark, and (on occasion) actual festive songs taking the top spot.

 

The new streaming Top 40 has been compiled based on the number of times each song has been streamed, all year round, since records began.

 

Steve Wright counts down the Top 40 chart in Most Streamed Christmas Number 1s now on BBC Sounds here, or tune into Radio 2 on Christmas Day (4-7pm).

:mellow: Ouch at how low down Too Much and Goodbye are.

 

Even 2 Become 1 isn't as high as I thought it might have been. I never would have guessed that Girls Aloud Sound of the Underground would have been streamed more times in the UK than 2 Become 1!

Is this Spotify and Apple Music combined plus I’m assuming this is UK only streams

Yep it's the total number of streams achieved in the UK from all streaming platforms!

 

Too Much and Goodbye felt huge at the time of their releases. Sadly very overlooked in the streaming era :(

Ouch at all of them being lower than like Sound Of the Underground or other less remembered songs. I know SOTU was a huge hit, but whatever...

 

Honestly, they should celebrate Goodbye's 25th with a re-release of a special Christmas EP with their Xmas #1s and a couple of other tracks... Make it more extra special with each single being given a Christmas remix and VOILA you would have them on Christmas playlists more prominently going forward - and enhance sales and streaming...

They should definitely release a Christmas EP on vinyl and streaming.

 

Spend some money on Christmas orchestral remixes, maybe including Viva Forever, and they could sell us something desirable. I’d go with something along these lines:

 

1. 2 Become 1 (Christmas mix)

2. Too much (Christmas Mix)

3. Goodbye (Christmas Mix)

4. Sleigh Ride (Jack Frost Mix)

5. Christmas Wrapping

6. Viva Forever (Christmas Mix)

7. Merry Christmas Everybody (Live)

This would be so perfect. Slap it on a Vinyl and Limited CD, and it will sell really well damn..

A Christmas album is such a no brainer for the group to do. Record ten Christmas covers, tack on Sleigh Ride and Christmas Wrapping. Along with Christmas mixes of 2 Become 1, Too Much and Goodbye. They would have a great 15 track Christmas album.
