But if you go via Youtube then Wannabe is actually outperforming No Scrubs which actually indicates that TLC do indeed have less people actively seeking out the song and benefit from playlisting on streaming sites pushing their sales up. They have 530 million compared to the 722 million of Wannabe nearly 200 million less views.

No Scrubs has reached new peaks on Spotify today. Not just here - but America, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and even the global chart. Not Ireland, though.

Let’s keep the thread to Spice Girls now

I go away for the summer and both Wannabe and Greatest Hits get new certifications??!!

Very pleased for them. Here's hoping the current 30th celebrations will boost those up as well. Next year will be the Greatest Hits' 20th anniversary so I could see it getting a new repackaging to celebrate. Maybe they will throw us another bone or two and put Never Give Up On The Good Times, If You Wanna Have Some Fun and Step To Me on there too (and remove Voodoo lol)...

Joking. They will definitely just re-issue the same old vinyl with a new sticker and a coloured vinyl like they did for Forever 😅

Update the damn Wannabe sales + certifications @-Jay-

Approximate updated sales courtesy of the lovely Jay!

Wannabe - 3,015,000

Say you'll be there - 1,331,000

2 become 1 - 1,569,000

Mama / Who do you think you are - 1,063,000 (1,178,000)

Spice up your life - 1,391,000

Too much - 801,000

Stop - 1,028,000

Viva forever - 928,000

Goodbye - 1,029,000

Holler / Let love lead the way - 359,000 (378,000)

Headlines - 69,000

I assume this isn't including the confirmed sales of 114,634 for Mama as a stand alone and 18,995 for Let love lead the way, are not included in this update. (So I've rounded those up and added them in brackets)

Wow, both Stop and Goodbye have gone over a million!

And Viva forever not far off! Shame Too much is lagging behind would be amazing to have all their 90s singles be million sellers / millionaires! 😍

Wow those are great sales estimates thank you Jay and Spiceboy for sharing

Incredible to think they have probably SEVEN million sellers. Quite the feat... just shows why they continue to make so much money from their music lol

Stop, WDYTYA and Goodbye being million sellers is RIGHT!! It is true popjustice being served.

Viva Forever got some boosts lately so Id hope it is a bit higher and near that million as well. I mean, 8 x million sellers is incredible!

Yep definitely should say to take the estimates with a pinch of salt! The old sales totals that I'm getting "average sales per week" figures from are getting increasingly out of date, there could be such a difference in that now.

Say You'll Be There could be too low, since the last updates it's gone up to their 2nd most popular song on Spotify.

Stop could be too high, I have a gut feeling it's not doing quite the number of sales it once was. I would like to think it has exceeded 1 million though, hope so!

As @Mr.X mentions, Viva Forever could have a higher figure than that, can't really work out how the last few months have benefited it. It really deserves a million!

This has inspired me to e-mail Simon Fuller and Emma Bunton AGAIN to pressure them to finally get the The British Recording Academy to certify Free Me (the album) 15x Platinum and Maybe 12x Platinum. I don't know why they keep not wanting to embarrass Adele with these sales, but alas. It is time Bunton gets the recognition she deserves!

This e-mail is going to bang!

You mean @Spiceboy for posting them when that lazy bitch couldn't be arsed, right??? 😎 🤭

“Viva Forever” likely to reach 1 million next!

Hopefully the Official Charts website will do an article on the release of The Singles Collection and give us some updates on the singles... I think it would be the perfect time to state how many million sellers they have lol...

Also, I was wondering a few things related to this release...

The Singles Collection counts as its own album right? It wont count towards individual singles, at least the CD and Vinyl box sets right?

Digitally, however, how does it work? Obviously people can buy the whole digital release as one, but they can also download individual tracks (you can already do that with the Wannabe tracks and Do You Think About Me). Will individual track sales go towards the Collection or individual singles?...

And do individual purchases of the remixes count towards the main songs' sales? Say, if I buy only the 2 Become 1 (Orchestral) track on iTunes, will that count only towards 2 Become 1 sales?

I am confusion!!!
