Loving this count down. A thoroughly enjoyable read. It brings to light some of the crucial album tracks and b sides that aren’t included in the This is Spice Girls playlist.

 

They should probably remove most of the solo stuff (except maybe the most successful single from each girl tacked on the end) and include:

 

• Step To Me

• Take Me Home

• Outer Space Girls

• Walk Of Life

• One Of These Girls

• If You Wanna Have Some Fun

• Get Down With Me

• Voodoo

 

Yes Voodoo. Because I actually like it. But then, I thought they were singing “Party line” for years. Like they were arranging a night out over the telephone party line, Mean Girls style. Lol

Did you combine Holler and Hollier???

No! :o Hollier is still to come... could it have out-streamed Wannabe?? ( :kink: )

 

Been meaning to comment on this, great countdown!

 

Just shows what being on a playlist can do with Christmas Wrapping being in the top 10!

Thank you so much Lukuzz :wub: It really does, makes me wish that it had been added years ago. Fingers crossed it remains in the Christmas Pop playlist next year :o

 

Thats really great about Goodbye! Surely it got a bump from the Christmas Wrapping but if it continues to grow at this wonderful pace, hopefully it can reach the million-seller mark sooner than expected!!

 

Do we have any indication of when it might cross it Jay?

Based on a couple of its recent totals and the average sales per week, it seemed like it would manage 1m+ in summer 2024, but hopefully if it's selling at a faster rate in the UK then it'll be do it much sooner!

So glad you've been enjoying it McAndrew! :wub: I seriously wish their This Is Spice Girls playlist would be updated, there's certainly lots of their other tracks that deserve more of a spotlight on them. Not Voodoo :teresa:

9th: Too Much

 

'Too Much' has 5 versions that can be streamed. It probably goes without saying that it's the album version that achieves the vast majority of the streams (5,010,068 in 2022). The previously unheard "Live in Toronto, Canada" is included on Spiceworld 25, but it only attracted 19,803 streams since the anniversary album's release.

 

2022 Streams: 5,267,002

Total Streams: 29,324,961

8th: Mama

 

It's not just for Mother's Day!

 

2022 Streams: 6,307,243

Total Streams: 31,973,705

 

----------

 

7th: Viva Forever

 

Now we're reaching their more highly streamed songs - 'Viva Forever' achieved over twice as many streams as 'Mama' in 2022! Like with all of their other singles, it's the album version that picks up by far the most streams for 'Viva Forever' (12,111,546 in 2022), but other versions performed decently too, including the Radio Edit with 725,803, and the recently released John Themis Ambient Mix proved to be one of the more popular bonus tracks on 'Spiceworld 25' with 122,599 streams last year. Personal opinion: This is one of the most beautiful songs of all time and quite frankly it deserves 60 billion streams rather than 60 million xx

 

2022 Streams: 13,007,603

Total Streams: 60,175,875

 

----------

 

6th: Who Do You Think You Are

 

One thing that 'Mama', 'Viva Forever' and 'Who Do You Think You Are' have in common is that none of them were released as singles in the US. I'm not sure if that particularly hinders these songs in any way, although Spotify is rather US-centric... so, maybe it does a bit? Not that these are bad numbers by any means. I just wish that playlist curators would sometimes consider 'Who Do You Think You Are' over 'Wannabe' for party themed playlists, for instance.

 

2022 Streams: 14,467,257

Total Streams: 67,160,750

Mama>>>>>>>Too Much the public showing taste.

Screaming at the commentary for Mama

Signed. :clap: :clap:

 

Screaming at the commentary for Mama

 

Well there doesn't need much comment on perfection.

Well there doesn't need much comment on perfection.

 

 

Perfection!?!? Wow I knew you liked the song but perfection is a bit far... It's a beautiful melody, the instruments are gorgeous, its sweet but its also far too cheesy which stops it hitting perfection sadly.

Sorry for the delay! I think it’ll be tomorrow that I reveal the Top 5.

5th: 2 Become 1

 

Coming very close to 20m streams in 2022 alone is their third single '2 Become 1'. Like 'Too Much' and 'Goodbye', this single experiences a streaming boost at Christmas time thanks to being a UK Christmas #1 single, although clearly this single is popular all year round - and their highest ballad in this list.

 

2022 Streams: 19,987,602

Total Streams: 117,233,580

Feel like they could take advantage of 2 become 1 more than they do. Always have said it should have a Christmas mix released to sound more like a Christmas song.

 

Streaming defo favours the more upbeat songs though when seeing 2 become 1 their highest ballad at 5!

4th: Say You'll Be There

 

A previously unheard 7" Radio Mix version was released as part of the 25th Anniversary of 'Spice' in 2021 and it does pretty decent numbers on Spotify - 374,257 in 2022. Alongside a smattering of other remixes picking up a few thousand streams each, this took the overall 'Say You'll Be There' 2022 streams to over 20.1m, with 19,698,806 coming from the album version.

 

2022 Streams: 20,166,625

Total Streams: 108,864,883

3rd: Spice Up Your Life

 

I'm pretty certain that 'Spice Up Your Life' is the song of theirs with the most different versions available to stream - 12 different mixes in total! Of course it's the album version that gets the most attention (20,795,300) but the Morales Radio Mix was also popular in 2022 with 798,405 streams.

 

2022 Streams: 21,883,834

Total Streams: 104,247,735

The multiple versions of SUYL and SW25 seem to certainly have helped it get to double plat quicker than expected. Hopefully not too long till SYBT joins it.

Spice up your life makes sense with it having surpassed say you’ll be there’s streams. I guess it’s stop and wannabe as the top two!? I love how much stop has become such a signature hit for them in the download and streaming eras!

Say'll Be There and Who Do You Think You Are deserved more love ❤️❤️

 

Glad Saturday Night Divas did well :wub:

I have to admit, I'm a bit of a fan myself of Spice Girls. It's always interesting to see which tracks are resonating with listeners, and I'm sure the #1 song won't come as much of a surprise to most people. It's great to see the group still has such a dedicated fan base all these years later. They inspired me to work on my own music. If you're looking to boost your streams on Spotify, you might consider buying plays. I recently came across this site called Streaming Famous (https://streamingfamous.com/buy-spotify-plays/), and they seem to have some good options for increasing your streams.

Wait. Are you saying ... that the Morales Mix is now "in demand", Jay? If so, I will have to amend my Forever25 tracklist. Please advise. :teresa: :rofl:

 

Dragging this out Jay! I'm desparate to know the top 2 cant for the life of me guess what they are #oh
