Spice Girls • Spotify / Apple Music / iTunes / YouTube
I imagine this was effect of the Barbie playlists getting less attention over time. I see now it's up to #4.

SB9 - 2025
I might be wrong, but everything they are doing seems to be building towards an announcement soon. The now more frequent collaborations, the revamp of their Spotify playlists, making an outreach to get people signed up to their mail list, mentioning more frequent than ever that the new music is almost done...it makes too much sense that something is happening in like two months the latest.

Mutya takes on Masterchef
Good for her! I don't have hopes for her cooking skills but I bet she will be entertaining to watch.

Melanie C | 2022-2024 Festivals & Live Events
Mel was so fantastic at Blenheim Palace. She had the smallest band but she put in so much energy and was so engaged with the audience that she stole the show a bit for me? Even her vocals were more on point than other times, hitting high notes she sometimes struggles with. I know that the whole story of accepting her Sporty persona sounds a bit of PR for her last projects, but she truly felt wildly different to the Melanie C pop-rock singer from pre-2019. It was so good seeing her enjoying like that. She said on Instagram it had been one of her favourite gigs and having been there I can believe that.

Melanie C - Forthcoming 9th Album
Very interesting and exciting that she's been working in so many people in LA. I love seeing her with the ambition to try new sounds.

Spice Girls • General Discussion
This is all wildly speculative. We don't know anything at all and it's not useful or fair to make such judgments based on rumours and the faintest impression we have of their public personas. Also Mel C literally told Mel B she wouldn't do the 2016 reunion because of the presence of her then-husband. How is that being passive?

Mobo Awards 2024
This is very unfair because lots of people had no issue seeing Amelle on the cover of the GH, or 3.0 and 4.0 having the same introduction as you are quoting and not having a mention of past members. Also it doesn't make sense to complain that other members' achievements are being erased and follow that up by reducing the achievements of Keisha and Mutya to the debut album even though they have done lots more. At the end of the day it's just as simple as MKS are the current and members so they focus the attention on them, and this is business as usual with girlbands. Heidi, Amelle, and Jade benefited from this before and now it's other people's turn. Not saying that the situation was handled perfectly but that's how it works.

Push The Button Bootleg
I mean it's very clear that the objective of this is not replacing anything or anyone. For starters the remix is very different to the original, and if they plan on using it on socials or performances it would be weirder if it featured other than the current lineup. It's simply a new take on the song, but not a replacement. Island and Crown did actually seek to replace Mutya's and Keisha's vocals in the past, and that's normal business for most girlbands (without the nasty gesture of dubbing Get Sexy "DO NOT USE" on digital platforms for years) so nobody should be surprised. But as I say, this is a very different case.

So excited for them to come back to Dublin! I won't miss it.

Heidi says it’s unlikely she’ll be back in the Sugababes
But she is the one who didn't want to work with Keisha? Like, she literally got what she wanted.

When The Rain Comes - New Single
When it was released we mentioned that it didn't sound like a big song, and it feels like they set their expectations accordingly. They weren't even in the UK to premiere it on the radio, so making it a hit is not a priority for them. That said, it is still very recent, it has got in a few R&B playlists on Spotify, and they are perfoming in one of TVs biggest shows this week, so let's give it a chance. Like someone said, I wouldn't be surprised if they opened preorders for the album this weekend, even if I want to temper my expectations.

Revolution in Me is 20!
The London Records from today is very different to the one that signed the group in the 90s. The version that has re-released One Touch and Revolution in Me is a renamed version of Warner Records 90, which specializes in re-releases of their catalogue. Their focus is basically getting the most money they can out of the music they already own, like putting on streaming songs that were unreleased or exclusive to physical formats.

Melanie C - 'Melanie C'
Yeah, having released the album during the pandemic, she definitely has needed some time touring to both get some profit and make the budget for a new release. But I also can see her learning new producing skills with her DJ sets and wanting to apply that into her own material.

Geri Halliwell-Horner | Rosie Frost & the Falcon Queen
I would argue that teenagers are not going to get interested in a book by hearing directly from an adult author. They probably find books from marketing and reviews online, and that's mostly down to the publisher. So Geri might as well focus on selling the book to the parents, teachers, and influencers who will actually push it to the target audience. And of course the copies sold to fans will also help with the launch sales. If the launch goes well she will probably go in a tour of schools, but that usually happens after the kids have had time to read the book by themselves.

Mel B • General Discussion
I think she mentioned in a recent interview that nowadays people were more open to discuss domestic abuse with her than they were when she was doing the original promo for the book, so this might come from that.

Summer 2023 Dates
The video is from Madrid but the audio is definitely from their Isle of Wight set. You can hear when Siobhan starts singing her part earlier by mistake and then the band doesn't play the right part in the chorus.

Her set in Madrid looks great. She seemed to enjoy it so much. r_z6-AldAK0

Sugababes sign with BMG?
Steps have released 2 albums with BMG, the Platinum Collection was released by Sony, probably because they own most of the material :)
-
iTunes & Spotify Charts
When the Rain Comes now at 96.220 plays on Spotify, and already showing in their top 10 of most popular songs.
-
When The Rain Comes - New Single
Their focus with BMG will be on the album. I think we can probably expect quite a few singles before the album drops, as well as the usual tricks to drive up first week sales like multiple formats, individual covers, etc.
-
When The Rain Comes - New Single
The very first Spotify update was 1k+ and now it's at 66.752 so it seems like they did that and more in the first 24h. Very nice, even though this clearly doesn't have the pressure to become a hit.
