Bring it on bitch!! :yahoo:

What will be interesting will be to see the impact the songs that got added to the 'This is' playlist when it updated. Will make this year much more interesting as some of the songs on it are a bit random.

 

Also just how well SUYL has done this year compared to last year. I suspect in a few years it will overtake 2 become 1 in the UK to be their 2nd biggest seller.

Most streamed Spice Girls songs on Spotify in 2023

- Each version/remix is separated

 

Notes: The number in brackets on the left is the position that the songs ranked at in the 2022 list.

 

In last year's list, Spotify had combined Sleigh Ride's two versions into one overall play count.

Currently they've been separated into two play counts. In order for this list to be directly comparable

to last year's list, I've had to combine Sleigh Ride's play counts. Here are their separate play counts:

 

136,980 - Sleigh Ride (B Side Version)

27,737 - Sleigh Ride (Jack Frost Version)

A note for the two lists in this post:

 

'Step to Me' and 'Spice Girls Party Mix' were both released towards the end of 2022, therefore it was not a full year of streams for those songs. Whereas 2023 was a full year of streams. Therefore it's not comparable.

For instance, Spice Girls Party Mix achieved 35,720 streams in 2022 but that was in just 2 months, and 146,974 streams throughout 2023.

 

 

 

2022 vs 2023 streams comparison - gains/losses in yearly stream counts

(i.e. Wannabe was streamed 146,899,732 times in 2022, and 181,320,382 times in 2023, which is 34,420,650 more times

 

and Sleigh Ride was streamed 267,148 times in 2022, and 164,717 times in 2023, which is 102,431 fewer)

Hi Jay before you post the streams for the year here’s a rundown of December for each of the Christmas singles plus Christmas wrapping on Spotify

 

Thanks for these December stats! Honestly I wish their Christmas #1s were more of an event in December than that. :cry: Given these are worldwide figures, in the UK alone they're not really getting a lot of streams over the holiday season. Actual Christmas songs dominate so much, that I guess for a lot of people there's little time to dedicate to "normal songs", even if they have a connection to Christmas like these Spice Girls singles do.

 

In particular I wish that 2 Become 1 came close to being regarded in the same way as East 17 - Stay Another Day is. It's interesting that the East 17 song has become embraced as a pseudo Christmas song when it has nothing to do with Christmas. It's just the fact its production evokes a feeling of Christmas. I personally feel like 2 Become 1's production makes me feel Christmassy too, but clearly streaming platforms / the general public don't really think so.

 

What will be interesting will be to see the impact the songs that got added to the 'This is' playlist when it updated. Will make this year much more interesting as some of the songs on it are a bit random.

Looking at some stats, I think it does indeed show the impact that 'This Is' has had. All of their B Sides (not counting Sleigh Ride) have had better years, while a few of their album tracks have suffered. I still find it bizarre that their team has decided that many of their album tracks don't belong on their top followed playlist. :drama:

 

I mean ok it's nice for their B Sides to get some more attention than they otherwise would, but they don't really benefit anything in particular for the Spice Girls in terms of sales. I have to wonder whether the amount of sales that Spice and Spiceworld get on a weekly basis in the UK has declined since the playlist update.

Thank you, Jay for the Spotify stats for this year. A lot of hard work. Much appreciated.

 

Amazing to see how much ‘Wannabe’ has increased in the past year and good to see ‘Viva Forever’ also increasing too. I just wish there wasn’t such a gap between ‘Wannabe’ and ‘Stop’s’ totals.

You're welcome! :wub: And me too. I guess we should see Stop make it to 200m by the end of 2024. But their singles deserve higher numbers than what they have. :cry:

I fear!

Things that stand out to me -

 

Step to me actually does well, they should use it and push it more.

 

Christmas Wrapping is a monster to make their top 10 two years in a row. They really should be running with it, 7 inch vinyl, lyric video.

 

SUYL have a very good year.

 

Some of the album tracks are disappointing, but then they never use or promote them.

 

Same 51 songs as last year sigh. 360m streams is pretty amazing when you think they give fans/the public absolutely nothing new to entice them to go to their page and stream.

Thank you Jay, amazing work and good to see it all layed down in such a clear way!

 

A few things to note:

 

The record lable should really capitalise more on Spice Up Your Life and Christmas Wrapping seemingly as both have done well these past couple of years.

 

SUYL should have gotten the same treatment as Wannabe for its 25th anniversary, really. With a proper re-release and more widely publicised. It's a classic on part of Stop, 2 Become 1 and Say You'll Be There and should be shinning as one of their crowing glories

 

Christmas Wrapping did well again. If they play their cards right, it could be a continuous staple on the season, and a cute lyric video could do wonders for it too. But they need to capitalise more on it, making sure it is used in media, films, and defnitely more playlisting etc.

 

Holler and Goodbye really are done dirty. Both songs deserve much better and more of a push and I hope that 2025 brings a new focus to both of those songs, specially if the group are doing something next year as well.

 

They do well on streaming overall, at least on Spotify, for an inactive group that hasnt really released anything new for 20 years. I would gather than similar numbers are seen on Apple Music too and with the other platforms too, it seems like the girls themselves could get a couple of million pounds a year just from streaming and on-going sales, licensing to movies (Barbie probably paid them a bit as well!), adverts (althogh there hasnt been one in ages!), etc.

Licensing is probably where they make the big money, Barbie, Doctor Who, NYE London fireworks, WDYTYA was on an advert for the BBC over xmas as was the instrumental for Christmas Wrapping.

2 become 1 a few years ago seemed to get way more traction at christmas time!
