It's a very strange playlist this week. 'Three Lions' leads, as you would expect, but then popular football songs like 'Waka Waka' and 'Vindaloo' don't appear until the second half and 'Wavin' Flag' doesn't appear at all!

 

Still, I can't rebuke 'Sexy' being there; a very underrated song of theirs!

Sexy! has indeed entered their popular Top 10 list *.* It's in 9th place! RIP Biology :cry: (for now x)

At this rate, Love Machine will exceed 10 million Spotify streams by 20th August! Sound of the Underground could pass 10 million by 11th October. We'll see!

 

Sexy! No No No...'s isn't in the Popular Top 10 any more, but Long Hot Summer has entered thanks to its inclusion on Throwback Thursday! It's currently in 9th place.

Long Hot Summer up to #3 in their Popular Top 10 list on Spotify! It has 1,423,479 streams as of today, an increase of 66,741 since last Friday.

'Long Hot Summer' is included in the "Summer Throwbacks" play list which has over 275,000 followers. It's only 48th out of 50 lol, but it must be helping because it's still in third place in their popular list.

 

'Sound of the Underground' has climbed back to first place! It was only fourth a week or so ago, so presumably it's been added to a good playlist? It's included in Ultimate Party Classics (380k+ followers) but is only 77th out of 80 songs.

 

 

By the way, did any of you notice that they now have a "This Is Girls Aloud" official Spotify play list? When it was first created it was a MESS, missing like half of their singles! Over the past couple of weeks it's been slowly iimproving, and now 19 out of 23 singles are included. Currently missing are The Show, Wake Me Up, Whole Lotta History and Untouchable.

Love Machine has exceeded 10 million streams on Spotify, their first song to manage this! 10,029,031 as of today. Sound of the Underground isn't too far behind, currently 9,623,013.

Their "This Is Girls Aloud" playlist on Spotify ( https://open.spotify.com/user/spotify/playl...hSNaBnkg8YQ5Mig ) doesn't include Untouchable and Beautiful Cause You Love Me out of their singles. The Untouchable omission annoys me a bit!

 

This is what is included (beyond the 21 singles that made it):

 

Sound of the Underground

Some Kind of Miracle

Mars Attack

Girls Allowed

Love Bomb

You Freak Me Out

 

What Will the Neighbours Say?

Deadlines & Diets

Graffiti My Soul

 

Chemistry

Models

Wild Horses

 

Tangled Up

Close to Love

Girl Overboard

Black Jacks

Fling

 

Out of Control

Rolling Back the Rivers in Time

Love Is the Key

Love Is Pain

Miss You Bow Wow

Revolution in the Head

We Wanna Party

 

Ten

On the Metro

 

B Sides

Crazy Fool

Hoxton Heroes

Memory of You

 

Other

Girls Aloud Megamix (2006 version from Something Kinda Ooooh single)

I Predict a Riot - Live from Wembley

Je ne parle pas francais

Teenage Dirtbag - Live at the Carling Academy

Walk This Way - Yoad Mix

With Every Heartbeat - Radio One Live Lounge

Which tracks included above do you feel aren't worthy of being included in a playlist described as "The essential tracks, all in one playlist" & do you feel there's any glaring omissions?

 

 

I think these should have been included:

 

Control of the Knife

Dog Without a Bone

Every Now and Then

Girls Aloud Megamix (2012 version from the Something New single)

Girls on Film

Here We Go

Untouchable (Obviously!)

Waiting

Watch Me Go

 

I'd remove:

 

Girls Aloud Megamix (2006 version from Something Kinda Ooooh single)

I Predict a Riot - Live from Wembley

Je ne parle pas francais

Love Bomb

Mars Attack

Teenage Dirtbag - Live at the Carling Academy

Their Popular Top 10 on Spotify currently looks like:

 

01. Love Machine

02. Sound of the Underground

03. The Promise (Radio Edit)

04. Something Kinda Ooooh

05. Jump

06. Call the Shots

07. Long Hot Summer

08. Something New

09. On the Metro

10. The Loving Kind (Radio Edit)

 

I'd predict that the next five songs for them would be

 

11. Biology

12. Can't Speak French (Radio Edit)

13. I Think We're Alone Now

14. Walk This Way (interestingly this is currently Sugababes' 10th most popular song)

15. Sexy! No No No...

 

There's a possibility that Biology could push The Loving Kind out of their Top 10 at some point, but any song below that would need a significant boost to make it.

Lol at me having the last 8 replies in this thread. :’)

 

Sound of the Underground has overtaken Love Machine in their popular list. It’s now on 9,996,998 streams, so it’ll likely cross over 10m tomorrow!

So, Love Machine has always kinda dissapointingly been the only song by them that had much playlist support. Even The Saturdays seemed to have more songs dotted around on the official advertised playlists. But in the last couple of weeks it seems like some kind GA fanboy has been employed in the offices at Spotify U.K and lots of GA singles have been scattered around....

(Numbers are by the amount of followers these playlists have)

 

Something Kinda Oooh (Get Home Happy, Cheesy Hits, Monday Motivation) - 1,289,061

Love Machine (Get Home Happy, Cheesy Hits, Classic Pop Hits) - 1,116,536

Sound of the Underground (Get Home Happy, Cheesy Hits, Classic Pop Hits) - 1,096,536

The Show (Get Home Happy, Classic Pop Hits) - 558,356

Call The Shots (Get Home Happy, Classic Pop Hits) - 558,356

Can’t Speak French (Cheesy Hits) - 558,180

Long Hot Summer (Classic Pop Hits) - 244,888

 

So we will probably see a big rise in streams from a lot of these classics over the next month or so, Love Machine aside none of these songs weren’t getting regular support and it’s probably going to up to double in sales/streams!

 

Lol at "Long Hot Summer" being considered a classic pop hit - 3 months too late :drama: "Sound of the Underground" is also on a new compilation called 'Girl Power' which is available to stream in its entirety so should receive extra streams from that too. Just a shame that "Biology" hasn't received any extra playlistings.

Fantastic to see a few more of their hits added to prominent playlists! Will be interesting to see what impact that might have on their Popular Top 10 list with time.

 

Changes to their Spotify Popular Top 10: The Promise moves up to 2nd place, Love Machine down to 3rd. Something New climbs to 7th, Long Hot Summer down to 8th. The Loving Kind has left the Top 10 and has been replaced by... Walk This Way. :o

Their Popular Top 10 order:

 

01. Sound of the Underground

02. Love Machine

03. Jump

04. Something Kinda Ooooh

05. The Promise (Radio Edit)

06. Call The Shots

07. Something New

08. Long Hot Summer

09. Walk This Way

10. On The Metro

 

I would assume that Biology & Can't Speak French (Radio Edit) are just outside their popular Top 10. Both have achieved more streams since the last update than On the Metro, so maybe it's due to leave their Top 10 imminently.

 

Long Hot Summer still getting relatively strong streams in Autumn 2018!

Can't Speak French replaced On the Metro in their Spotify Popular Top 10 list, last weekend!

Can't Speak French up to 9th on Spotify, Walk This Way down to 10th. Long Hot Summer still holding firm in 8th as we begin November. :kink:

 

Love Machine is back up to 1st place, Sound of the Underground now 2nd.

UK:

 

15. Love Made Me Do It

217. Love Made Me Do It

903. Fight For This Love

1202. Parachute

1211. 3 Words ft will.i.am

1365. Call My Name
