I love this album but I was at Coco Rio in Vancouver today and they played it 6 times in a row with random dance tracks between and I am done

Jumped quite a lot in a short time. It was 65 million like a year ago.

I dunno. I think BU can. There will absolutely be nostalgic influx of streaming as each solo project emerges and their anniversary

Albums at 251k now. Think both albums could hit platinum by end of year. Would be amazing to have entirely platinum + albums

I imagine this will stick around the top 20 for a fair time due to the fact people don't have new music from them. Probably get a boost at Christmas and when solo stuff comes out. Platinum won't take too long.

I love how she legit attempted to go in disguise and just...failed

Tbf back in the day you could do more because you made more. Streaming doesn't generate anywhere near the money sales did and sales as a whole are much lower to touring is where you make the money.

Spice Girls done it too. It's definitely a money thing. But the girls have never had much budget for anything.

I hope she shows how big her voice can be too. The baby voice thing ain't it.

I feel for Jesy. She is funny but obviously so much of her shine got dulled by people's comments over the years. Her leaning into these things in the way Geri Halliwell would've turned it into a full ass campaign. I think she's worried about embarrassing herself which I mean...it's always going to happen but it's up to you how you react. You can shy away from it or you can be...Jade.

Sugababes are excellent singers but not performers. There's never energy and Keisha is the only one that ever engages the crowd. Sugababes are a vocal harmony group. Little Mix are the whole works.

Melladaze should have won. They make more sense as a support act and are clearly friends. They deserve better.

Her team were smart to leave a big gap between Boyz and the "official first song from the album" as I doubt boys will be more than a bonus track. Now that the group are done for a while she is still in the prime position to be the one that everyone else's debuts get compared to so her label will go hard to be 'it'. A single in July and October with a November album is likely. They just have to time it right because Jesys always suffered from being compared to the others. She needs to get a new single or two out before any of the others before that becomes the case again.

I don't even know if there was a flat falling out. I think Jesy recognized she was done during lockdown and felt or was made to feel obligated to stick it out because at the time 'it was over in a year anyway' She probably felt more trapped than ever and they probably felt frustration that she couldn't get over thr finish line. Nobody knew as soon as she left the girls would get pregnant and delay things by a fair stretch. I imagine every second of that post lockdown comeback was torture for Jesy while for the others they were buzzing to get back out there. Jesy is a trooper and if lockdown hasn't happened I think, however much it would have hurt, she would have pushed through to the end because she was in autopilot.

I always felt like he wasn't quite comfortable with their vibe qnd wanted something a bit more mature. Good luck to all of them

I don't see her ever coming back. It's so different to spice girls. 2 years of intense mega stardom in a pressure pot vs 9 years of evolution. Of them supporting her through thick and thin from day one. Wiping her tears on x factor to crying in her documentary. For her to then say she didn't know Leighanne struggled...like...for real, ignore their pregnancies, BLOCK THEM and them basically join in doing to them what so many people did to you. She has had it rough but she's abundantly ignorant and they owe her nothing.

If we are comparing to Spice Girls... Jade - Mel C. She will have the longest career in music regardless of how many sales are involved. Music is her blood. Jesy - Geri. First to go. Tabloid fodder. Initial buzz but sadly easily turned against. Perrie - Emma. Some success button long term will end up in the presenting world with all the other super lovely blondes. Leigh - Posh. the dark horse that was often under the radar in the band..had her fingers in many pies. Mostly likely for global reach.

310.000 Worlwide 247.000 UK gold 20.000 Brasil gold 20.000 US 3.000 France This surely isn't correct? There's no way outside of these 4 places it's sold just 20k combined.

^ I think jt was more an unfortunate chain of events. They released WLM then immediately left their label, the second single was delayed then the entire campaign was scrapped when really it should have been releasing through to June. Bounce Back and OIBM were just shoved out there because they didn't have an album ready and didn't want to be gone too long. BUS literally got released the week the world went into lockdown, had a dreadful video and zero promotion yet still went top 10 and platinum which tells me in normal circumstances it would have been huge. Holiday just wasn't very instant and again didn't have promo.

End of next year maybe

Leigh. I reckon she will do a feature by end of summer. Jade will be first to release a full album.

It'll hit 200 by the end of June or early July. It'll float at 1-2k q week for a while then probably get a bump q4 and when solo projects start. I reckon platinum by end of 2023 latest.

Hopefully they do a world tour next time and don't cancel Aus/nz again. I fully agree about having a live band. This tour feels really cheap when you can just hear the entire song (vocals included) playing in the background.

It's madness to me that 'Between Us' isn't being released as an official single this week.

Album sales suddenly are much higher across the board. Did some rules change?
