I have no idea what you are referring to there... 🤨😂

I'd love to know where all these customers are that put bets on Xmas #1 or X Factor winners etc etc etc. In the 8 years I worked at William Hill I took one bet on someone to win X-Factor and not a single other even enquiry on an Xmas #1 or any other show winner etc. 😂

I did Birmingham last year, wasn't massively impressed tbh. I suppose it's what you go for really, the overpriced food and drink wasn't so bad. 😂

Which was better?

It's not December so... NO!

Still don't get why they don't just do an animated video like they did for Break The Ice? Is there even a lyric video for it?

I am slightly dubious as to whether they will ever release a new studio album tbh. I can see them doing some kind of rarities or remixes album and going on another Greatest Hits tour if they ever get back together. The longer they leave it, the less likely I feel a new album will be. Last time they recorded very quickly, they are leaving it a long time.

Nice! Tragedy Stomp Deeper shade of blue Scared of the dark One for sorrow Is my prediction if they do a 5 song medley. Tragedy Stomp Scared of the dark One for sorrow Is my prediction for a 4 song medley

Erm what... this is the first time I've seen a photo of Kevin and thought he looked dishy! 😍😂

How ridiculous they have not dispatched, that was clearly a balls up somewhere!

She said on the KC show that Kelly had to re-record it with her as she wanted Kelly's vocals more prominent. I'm sure she also said that she was re-releasing the album with extra songs this year and that hasn't been announced so... who knows!? 🤷 I'm still waiting for the 80's style rock album she promised was coming, like a decade ago! 😂

It hasn't even appeared in the midweeks!?!?

I look back on The Greatest Hits with a little bit of sadness really. The album itself has done well enough in the long run seeing as it is over 800,000 copies now in the UK and apparently on over 1 million sales in the USA (on top of the 600,000 purchased by Victoria's Secret). However it was handled so poorly at the time. Headlines - I am actually in the minority that I do love headlines. It is a beautiful song and I think it works really nicely as an album track, a throwback to their 90's days and they all sound great on it. As a single though, honestly, even before they even released it I was thinking what on earth are they doing releasing a BALLAD? They needed an uptempo single. I think they looked at Take That Patience and the fact it was a charity single and thought, 'we need to do a ballad it's more likely to be a hit.' Even as a single the video was so not right at all. They clearly only did it to show of Victoria's Secret underwear which Emma did not want to do post-pregnancy and Melanie C was clearly uncomfortable with so it just ended up being three of them wearing bras and skirts and that outfit Victoria chose to wear on the chair... really strange for a girlband all about friendship and girl power. They needed an uptempo, fun song and a fun video. The only thing that makes me think Headlines wasn't the worst choice is that the uptempo track they did go with on the GH... Voodoo was terrible and probably the worst thing they have ever recorded, so based on that, Headlines was the right choice. I always felt that they would have smashed something like "Something New" by Girls Aloud, Mel B and Geri doing the Nadine / Cheryl chant rap at the beginning ala Wannabe, Melanie C doing Sarah's "Take a walk on the WILD side of LIFE!" and the ending "We're the leaders of the pack tell me can you handle that." Or something like S Club 'Don't Stop Moving' would have been great for them, a very pop sound but quite cool and funky, and that was written by Richard Stannard I believe? Voodoo - Nothing more needs to be said Tracklist - I think they did a decent job of it, the singles work very well in chronological order and obviously Goodbye was always going at the end. However Step to me deserved to be on it, If you wanna have some fun radio edit and NGUOTGT should have been on there too and they really could have given us a few more new or unreleased tracks considering the tracklisting insn't exactly bulging, Spice Is Back for instance or Angels or even the George Michael December song which he wrote for the girls. Wannabe Say you'll be there 2 become 1 Who do you think you are Mama Step to me Move over Spice up your life Too much Stop Viva forever Never give up on the good times Holler If you wanna have some fun Let love lead the way Spice is back (potential single if any good?) Headlines Goodbye Editions - The CD versions were fine with the CD, CD/DVD but that box set was soooooo poor lol. Bright pink (eeeeww) and a FRIENDSHIP bracelet for their now in 20s and 30s. I am ashamed to admit, I bought not one but two! One to open and one to keep sealed. I guess multi-variants weren't really a massive thing back then tbf. The cover - This is one of the area where I think they got it spot on. That artwork is excellent and I loved it from the get go. Loads of people were complaining they weren't on the cover but I prefer it this way, it's timeless and the gems look is really nice, the colours work really well. All the hoo-ha over the girls being in the letters on Denden at the time was hilarious too, I look back on that so fondly lol. Also the fake new reports that they put out about the cover being made with actual jewelled letters and each girl getting the letter of the Spice cover in diamond, emerald, ruby etc, how it cost 1 million pounds to make it... hilarious and a load of bollocks! Makes me smile again though remembering it. It's a real shame they have not released it on vinyl with the original cover, it deserves to be. All it all it's a great album and deserves to be a classic GH in the top 200 constantly.

I'll have a look this evening and give you a definitive list. ☺️ Looking forwards to your rating.

Thank you hosting, you did an excellent job. ❤️

Interesting about Chelsea, I genuinely think she is the most vile one there, (after Nicole who is Christine levels of hideous). I think all of them (even Chrishelle who I've always liked) are superficial, fake, horrible people and come across so this season, but the way Chelsea was with Bre and the whole baby daddy thing was just gross. Mary really disappointed me this season too though, her reaction to the flowers was quite frankly pathetic, like get a grip you silly cow. 🙄 I liked Mary before. I also agree about Emma, really disappointed with her too. Basically the ones who I liked before were: Chrishelle, Emma, Amanza and Mary and now I'm not keen on any of them too. Probably not going to watch the next season. EDIT: I actually lied, I didn't mind Bre this season tbh. She is quite cool and so unfazed by the other girls I kind of admired her a little bit lol.

I thought it was first week download sales, which I agree if Gaga was at #1 with over less than 1.5k then #10/11 whatever she was at could easily be 300 sales.

I haven't repeated a single thing, this is the first time I've said anything thank you very much.

Yeah, that is the weekend I'll be putting my tree up ready for December so I'll have Xmas music on then... not Alexa though lol.

I think it was around 300 downloads when it was at #10/#11 but that was counting streaming sales, youtube views etc.

Then maybe don't send me private messages telling me to respond to him and Mango because it "entertains" you... 🤷‍♂️

OK let's agree not to report each other then... 😋

Mod's how do I report this user for bullying? 🤨

With some points I hope!?!? 😂
