CONFIRMED UPDATES Spice Girls Coins by The Royal Mint, coming this year Spice Girls Funko POP Rock Wannabe outfits edition - coming in June It's funny... we've had some remarkable things that came our way since 2019 but most of them had nothing to do with the group - they were done despite the band itself lol The Spice Girls LEGO and the Royal Mail Spice Girls editions are not random things, nor are they technically 'merch' they are markers of genuine cultural impact from the band. And now these two things coming this year... sure they have to sign off on those things for licensing reasons (and they have the power to do that) but I don't think it was any of them personally calling LEGO or the Royal Mint to do special editions for them lol, specially since as far as we know they don't even have a proper management team in place right now...

Spice Girls Funk Pops finally coming! Will you be getting some? Seems like it will go to coincide with the Wannabe 30th anniversary and it might mean they have the Wannabe costumes as well...

I dont know, I guess the list of best selling singles sound correct as hell! The sales lists also sound ok but maybe a bit too low as Spice had been on at least 23million since before 2017 and that Wannabe figure also sounds too low, same with some of the other singles...

More updated info on album sales: "Apparently that may not be including downloads as they also revealed these album figures for 2026 including everything: 1. Spice (31,900,000) 2. Spiceworld (17,200,000) 3. Forever (1,600,000) 4. The Greatest Hits (2,100,000) – 52.8 million albums" Sounds more like it to be honest.... Forever and GH being so low is a CRIME though!! If only Spiceworld had been in print all these years.... it hasnt been in print on anything other than vinyl since 2002 and they have only paid it dust! URFGH

From matthew on Spice Circle: "I was given a list of the top 1000 physical selling singles of all time worldwide and amazingly all the Spice Girls 90's singles made it in the top 1000 list: 1. Wannabe (#37) 2. Say you’ll be there (#181) 3. 2 become 1 (#224) 4. Spice up your life (#304) 5. Goodbye (#331) 6. Too Much (#432) 7. Viva Forever (#647) 8. Mama / Who do you think you are (#734) 9. Stop (somewhere between 905-1000)" He also states the following worldwide sales: "Apparently this is worldwide physical and digital download sales up to 2017, it doesn't include streaming or any other sales since then: 1. Spice [22 million] 2. Spiceworld [14 million] 3. Forever [1.2 million] 4. The Greatest Hits [1.4 million] – 38.6 million 1. Wannabe [7.5 million] 2. Say you’ll be there [3.1 million] 3. 2 become 1 [2.9 million] 4. Mama / Who do you think you are [1.6 million] 5. Spice up your life [2.7 million] 6. Too much [1.8 million] 7. Stop [1.3 million] 8. Viva forever [1.5 million] 9. Goodbye [2.3 million] 10. Holler / Let love lead the way [700,000] 11. Headlines [120,000] - 25.5 million singles TOTAL: 64 million sales.

that's wild cos both those songs sound straigh up like the girls would have written them lol

I'm trying to get my head around some titles that are registered under the girls' names on ASCAP but that make no sense at all. Some of these are NEW!!! Moyat Grad https://www.ascap.com/repertory#/ace/search/workID/884342394 This is Bulgarian for 'My City' but then, what song writen by the Spice Girls, Matt + Biff could be translated to My City???.... There is no listed performer either so I cant tell if this is a cover or simply a demo from the band that was then sold to a bulgarian artist/label and translated by never released?... how odd Spice Girls GEM - Still Got It This is the song that was mentioned to be recorded during the GEM era with Absolute. It was at the time mentioned that it was about to leak in some press articles, but it never did. Finally, it seems like it was registered on ASCAP, so we now have confirmation of it existing! https://www.ascap.com/repertory#/ace/search/workID/912293453 WASTING MY TIME (MISSING YOU) https://www.ascap.com/repertory#/ace/search/workID/530566308 Obviously this is Forever's Wasting My Time but it seems like a working title for an early version of the song?... I never knew this title at all!! Will add it to demos list! When You're With Me (Time Goes By) https://www.ascap.com/repertory#/ace/search/workID/532805251 Same as above! Seems to be an early demo/mix of Time Goes By Spice Girls - Generation Next https://www.ascap.com/repertory#/ace/search/workID/880361914 Safe to say that this is a Move Over early version/demo. NEW EMMA TITLES: Emma's Your Lucky Night - This is new to me! Recorded with Absolute, which is wild?? I don't think I heard that Emma worked with them since the 90s and around the GEM era... certainly not as a solo artists so I wonder what era is this from?? Emma - Every Breath I Take https://www.ascap.com/repertory#/ace/search/workID/933134808 First I heard of it!! Same writing team as Take My Breath Away so I guess this would be an early demo from that song?? Emma - Letting Go https://www.ascap.com/repertory#/ace/search/workID/420781097 First I heard of this! It was writen with Biff so it could be from AGLM or Free Me era, can't tell... Any suggestions?? Emma - Time Stand Still - also registered on ASCAP same team she worked on some Free Me songs so safe to assume its from there. But never heard of this one before Emma's demo Life's What You Make Of It was later recorded and released by The Divine Comedy, a British band... had no idea about this!! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2NsHbZnfFS4

@Sideout if you know of anymore unreleased tracks like Rush and Miss Me, please let me know! I can't get around that German Publishing site

Oh thanks, I didn't know this! I wonder why the title of Give You What You Want came about then? It was first labelled as If It's Lovin' On Your Mind, then Give You What You Want... I am pretty sure I have seen it somewhere like ASCAP or other sites as that... I will update the master list on the other thread with this info, thank you! Personally I don't much care for this song. It always felt like they were trying to recreate a 5ive song, and the lyrics seemed undercooked for me. But it is a fun track for sure! Melody of Life is sooo good. When the first snipped leaked years ago, I thought it would be a bit meh but just like with Sugar & Spice, I was pleasently surprised that it was funky and cool. Those two feel more like songs during their transition from Touch to Spice Girls. Did they write on it as well?... They definitely more of their sound.

Thats a good point, as they do have control over their releases as well. It has also been suggested before (on popjustice a while a go) that the reason they didnt tour more between 2008 - 2019 was that promoters were not paying enough for what they were asking. But I am not sure if that is true... I do think that if someone offered a Stadium tour where each member could make another £20-30million, they would probably do it...

I think The Sphere thing was blow out of porpotion by Victoria and Mel C while promoting their solo projects in the US. It went quiet as soon as those promotional campaigns ended... At this stage, we only know of one official thing coming and that is the Spice Coins being produced by the Royal Mint in the UK. Apart from that, nothing else. Yes it seems both the documentary and the drama TV series for Netflix have now been cancelled due to the group not getting their shit together. I think this is like the 4th time they cancel a project with Netflix so it would be safe to asume that bridge is burnt now...

yep it is bad bad... I mean...

OMG a flop thread... You guys don't appreacite the unreleased songs???!!! Maybe we as a fandom don't deserve the unreleased tracks at the end of the day ☹️

Sadly this is going viral all over twitter and people are blaming Geri and talking about a lesbian situationship going on for 30 years... it's actually wild and the ONLY way would be for them to make amends and do a proper come back... It would be hilarious if it wasnt so sad for us lol

Happy anniversary to one of the best solo Spice songs Feels So Good should have been the first single from the album, it's so f***ing good.

Sadly it seems impossible for the girls to do any of that... because that would mean they would have to actually spend time and care on their legacy. They don't care enough. Just late last year, Chris on Spice Circle mentioned that they have no management right now, they left Simon after 2019 and then the management that came in during Spice25 left too as they couldnt handle the girls' mess and constant changing/cancelling plans... It doesnt bode well for the 30th anniversary plans that we are keep getting promised lol

Ok girlies gather around What are your favourite unreleased songs from the Spice Girls catalogue, both group and solo??... I think they have some f***ing bangers that could have been album tracks or at least b-sides! This is just for Unreleased songs, no 'Independence Day' or movie-soundtrack or side projet type of release please. Keep it clean My favourites are: SPICE GIRLS Right Back At Ya (Pop Mix) Honestly this woud have been a perfect single in 1999 or even in Spring 2000 to get them back in the group groove before hitting us with fulll on r&b of Holler. It's funky as f***, fun and could have been a club and radio hit with some fun mixes! Sugar & Spice Could have been an excellent b-side to one of the Spice-era singles, or even part of a delux, imo. I prefer it to One of These Girls, as it is less cringe and has more attitude. I bet with a Spice-producers mix, it would have been even better! EMMA Rapsody Easily could have been on Life in Mono album or at least as a b-side! It's such a VIBE, I want to go drink margaritas in the a South Italy beach listening to it and flirt with local boys Secrets While this sounds like an unfinished song, I think it has a lot of potential. The narrative is there, the production just needed to be a bit more interesting and not so overpowering. But overall, it had the melodies and chorus to be a great song! Just needed some polishing. Even if not an album track, I could see it given to a Movie to be a soundtrack song or a b-side to Take Me To Another Town.... Melanie B I've Got My Eyes On You With a bit of polishing of production and some of the lyrics, this had such potential to be included in Hot. I don't understand why it was scrapped when it was better than half of that album (sorry....) Victoria Beckham Whatever You Want I would love love a more r'n'b version of this, actually. It has potential, the melody is there to be great. It could at least been a great b-side! I Should Have Known Better Come on, this would have been such a great BOP with proper mastering! It would fit the retro-pop vibes of the early 2000s so easily, it's a shame they didn't give it a proper go with it. The lyrics are simply yet effective and sounds really up Victoria's vibe. ( I dont know enough Mel C or Gerita unreleased tracks, and honestly what I heard I wasnt very impressed at all lol so I wont comment on more than this one) Geri Halliwell Without Love There is a great song here, just needed a better producer and some of the verses lyrics need working a bit to be more relatable and the narrative to be more cohesive. But overall, there is the beginnings of a great song here! I kind of wish she had sold it to someone else, I bet some other more experimental pop acts would eat this up.

Emma's Breathing

Just been on a bit of a rant about how Victoria is actually nowhere to be heard much in any Matt & Biff productions on Spice album... YET she was there for the recordings of the demos of 2 Become 1 and If You Cant Dance as you can hear her on those very clearly. Like, she is not on 2 Become 1 at all on the album, even in the chorus lines that we all thought she shared with Mel C, that is actually Mel B!!! We know she wasnt there for the writing and demo-ing of Wannabe but Wannabe one of their first songs they wrote, right after Feed Your Love. And if 2 Become 1 was written and demoed the next day - as said by them - well, she is allover the original demo and she would have been there for the other recordings! So why was she removed completely afterwards?... it seems quite a deliberate omission... We don't have demos for Mama to compare, but out of the four songs on the album by Matt + Biff, Victoria barely appears at all. In If You Cant Dance she also is barely heard, only getting some backing melodies in the chorus. So when it came to the mastering process and re-recording vocals for the final versions of the songs, it seems like Victoria was simply removed from the songs... Why the hell though? Luckily Absolute gave her plenty of verses and melodies to work with and Matt & Biff seemingly changed their approach for Spiceworld but damn....

The Sun is reporting that the Netflix Drama about them has been axed due to tentions between the band, specifically as Geri is refusing to sign on because of drama with Mel B. This is actually one of the biggest mistakes they could be doing. Having Suzanne Mackie, producer of royal drama The Crown with a script being written by Jack Rooke, who won a Bafta for Channel 4 comedy Big Boys, is HUGE DEAL that could have been amazing to watch. Take it as you wish... but nothing looks particularly promising for this year...

Emma and All Saints ❤️ Its cute how they are mostly all friends, specially Emma and Mel C with the Appletons, but then it sounds like Mel Blatt and Shaznay don't particularly like the Spice Girls lol oh well... A couple of things: Emma and the Appletons have been friends since they were at school together when they were 11 years old! Thats f***ing wild.... small world. Probably the UK's two biggest girlbands ever and three of the members came from the same school lol Also, Emma is really really positive about them going to be performing at Mighty Hoopla. She says it is this 'massive festival' whereas in reality it is a big-ish festival mainly catering to gays and hen parties lol I always wondered why Emma didnt do more festivals during My Happy Place... what was she thinking? She could have EASILY done the whole gay-festival circuit and make a lot of money... oh well..

Here, Spiceworld is at #71 with 21,620,000 sales and Spice at #42 with 28,460,000 sales worldwide... It is so frustrating that we have the variable amounts mentioned across sales sites, wikipedia and their own press releases... Often, sales for the albums are posted as: Spice - either 23, 28 or 30million Spiceworld - either 14, 17 or 20/21 million I was a bit shocked that the Spice25 and Spiceworld25 campaigns reverted the album sales back to the 1999 standards (23 for Spice, 14 for Spiceworld) where we know they have sold more than that since.... Let's see what amounts the Spice30 campaigns bring forwards LOL watch it be the same old 1999 ones too

USA Masked Singer will be doing a Spice Girls songs only episode on 25th February Quite random but good record label/publishing managers deal there 😉 Would be good to see the songs regaining popularity in the US again

Thats quite a lot since it was only certified 3x Platinum in 2024 so it is streaming/selling well there

So, not even 2 months in, where is where we are at: Melanie C is full on promo for her album and concert at Brixton Academy. She has also launched a solo tour around the launch of the album, in small venues and most of them have sold out. Emma is doing more Heart FM and Unlikely Friends podcast. The most exciting thing from that so far being her talking about unreleased songs like the Power of 5 and messing that up majorly and saying she doesnt remember much... Great. No idea of any other project in the pipeline... Mel B, against all odds, is releasing a Vinyl edition of HOT for Record Store Day. A limited edition 'RSD First', it has a first draw of 2500 copies which sounds ambitious (specially with that awful design lol). But yeah, that actually is exciting!! Gerita Halliwell I have no idea apart from some soft-cover editions of Rosie Frost being released soon in some countries. She seems quite quiet.... Vicky Bex has been, strangely, the one promoting the Spice Girls the most lately. Not only she went viral while singing Viva Forever accoustic from her couch on a random Sunday, but she got both Viva Forever AND Not Such an Innocent Girl AND Out of Your Mind back in the charts. Who would have thought??!!! An Icon! Spice Girls Group wise... well... they are releasing the Spice Girls Limited Edition Coins which is cool but apart from that, we only have word from Mel C that they 'must do something' to celebrate their legacy. Last week, 4 of them tourned up at Emma's birthday and then the same four reunited at VB's house to sing a rendition of Viva Forever accapela together. It was lovely but.... From what Mel C has been saying lately, it doesnt sound like anything is actually confirmed happening regarding a reunion. There were rumours of a documentary (by hollywood producers!!), a TV drama series based on them (by quite high profile people) and a Vegas residency. But it all seems to have gone to the shitters again... I would expect nothing more than a 30th anniversay of Spice at this point with a couple of variants and that will be it lol
