OMG amazing news that WHo Do You Think You Are, Stop and Goodbye are all now over 1million! That's an incredible achievement

Hopefully Viva Forever is not too far ahead, specially since it seems to stream so well in the uk!!

Also quite amazing the rate the singles have been selling in the UK... Both SYBT and SUYL selling over 200,000 copies each and Stop 300,000 in 4 years is amazing for such old singles...

Note 1: Say You'll Be There and Spice Up Your Life - their last known totals of 1.2m and their current totals of 1.4m are too vague to ascertain much from this update. All we can say right now is that Spice Up Your Life is still currently 3rd in their best sellers list, ahead of Say You'll Be There in 4th place. Whether Say You'll Be There is indeed selling more strongly per week than Spice Up Your Life and will eventually overtake it, who knows!

Note 2: Viva Forever has had quite a boost in streaming since late last year. Given that its previous sales total was revealed back in August 2022, the "average sales per week" stat written above probably isn't reflective of what its weekly sales have looked like in recent months. Therefore there's a good chance that it'll reach 1,000,000 sales earlier than estimated!

Note 3: I'm a bit skeptical about Too Much's update... selling less per week on average than Goodbye, and selling the same as Holler? Hmm! In the "Official Top 30 most-streamed songs" list, it does have Goodbye one place ahead of Too Much, and Too Much is one place ahead of Holler. Well, maybe Too Much does better than both worldwide, but less well/about the same as Goodbye and Holler in the UK?

It's exciting that it might be Holler that gets the next update! Still a little while to wait though, potentially. Having said that, there is a question mark over whether Mama is going to go Silver (200k) all by itself at some point.

A pity that the update didn't go all the way and give an update for Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) - however pitiful it is! I also wish they'd been more specific with the totals for everything bar Wannabe, Stop and Goodbye.

Interesting post, Thank you @-Jay- ❤️

Just a couple of things to note about some of these stats:

Say You'll Be There has recently gotten quite a bit more attention and streaming power overall. It is consistently their most 'visible' and streamed song over the past few months, so I could see it being stacking up units faster than the others. Having a look at the Kworb website, it looks like it it does more than double streams than Spice Up Your Life or even Stop most weeks...

During the campaign for The Singles Collection, the group has also focused a lot on Say You'll be There, alongside Wannabe. So it probably is picking up pace quite nicelly.

Viva Forever is also quite prominent now than it was even a year ago, and it streams really well on YouTube specifically and is now #4 on their most streamed on Spotify, streaming consistently better than Spice Up Your Life, for instance. So I can see it getting to 1million a little faster than that.

Holler, on the other hand, seems quite forgotten... It just doesn't stream that well at all. Forever 25 was really a missed opportunity for them to re-write that wrong but alas.... Hopefully it gets to Gold soon, or it gets some sort of resurgence, because it is criminally underrated!

7 singles that have sold over a million copies in the UK 💥

Gorgeous update post and stats @-Jay-, thank you! ❤️

Well, maybe Too Much does better than both worldwide, but less well/about the same as Goodbye and Holler in the UK?

Well... On this point, I do think that Too Much only streams really well on Spotify, on average, as it is on big playlists whereas Goodbye and Holler are not. However, if you look at YouTube numbers, all three songs stream around the same on a daily basis, whereas on Spotify, Too Much has a bigger lead. We don't know Apple Music's numbers or Tidal's so its' hard to say. So yeah, probably Too Much is doing better worldwide but it is on the same level of awareness as Goodbye and Holler in the UK... Remember that Spotify is primarily a US-customer app.

If we go by Spotify numbers, they have hit 3Billion streams just this year which is great. However, the article states that "only" 624million streams are from the UK, and that is including all streaming platforms - Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, YouTube Music, Tidal, etc. If we count YouTube, Apple Music and the rest, we are looking at a much bigger overall number of streams across the board. We don't know how well Wannabe or Too Much do on Apple Music.

This means that overall they stream worldwide incredibly well. I remember during the Spice25 campaign it being stated that the UK makes up to around 25% only of their main market, the rest is international. No wonder then that they are going with the 100million sales figures nowadays...

I would looove to know worldwide figures of each singles and albums, damn...

Apologies for going back to discuss No Scrubs , but the song is going viral again linked with Tennis players AI and the original video! Some are 🤣🤣🤣

At this point, it's a lost battle, so lets leave it and celebrate another girlband having a massive hit on their hands. That's girlpower!

I do f***ing wish they would focus more on their streaming though... just throwing Wannabe out at every single opportunity is not a good strategy at all.
