Mr.X

Ah yes I forgot about The Voice australia... Jesus she has been relenteless this year so I havent kept up that much apart from the obvious things.. Geri's show is on Hulu though, not Disney+. Good for her though. It is very easy to see how they don't reunite and who out of them all would jump at a chance and to do what. If Geri and Victoria weren't so wealthy (both on their own and in their respective families), they would absolutely still be up for reunions, at least touring which would bring in easy money. And I wish Mel C would get over her shit and agree to get in the studio with the others. Sadly, I think that ship has also sailed by now...

You wish. Once a twink, always a twink! Accept it

Well, you couldn't shag her husband because in this plan he would not be desperate enough to shag a twink! He's into bears actually (like me!) 😉 Now stop thinking about sex for once and CONCENTRATE. What singles would you choose? SAVE THE HYPOTHETICAL CAREER VICKY COULD HAVE HADD!!!!

Let's imagine you are in the year 2001, you are young and savvy about the UK's music industry, you work for Virgin/EMI and a rabbid Victoria Beckham stan at that too. Somehow you are landed the job of turning her chances of success around and save the album - and VB's career!! - after the two flops of Not Such an Innocent Girl and A Mind of It's Own as well as the VB album (for a pop star of her caliber). No limit to your budgets, this is make or break and the record label is re-investing ANOTHER £5MILLION in order to make this a success. Victoria is eager and has cleared all her schedule for this, even going so far as sending Brooklyn to his grandmother 'for the next year or so' so she can focus. Even David is supporting this by NOT shagging her so she can focus. What songs would you pick as next singles? And what would you do (type of video, when would you release, summer/spring)? Note: We know that I Wish (featuring Robbie Craig) was slatted as the next single, as well as both Like That and I.O.U. being mixed by Spike Stent (a huge hint at them being planned as singles). She also clearly loved Midnight Fantasy going so far as to perform it at G-A-Y. Sadly none of this came to be. What about you though? What would you pick?

Obviously there is a mistake here. What you meant to type was: Baby Please Don't Stop 02/03/2019: #1 for 11 weeks 27/04/2019: #1 for another 45 weeks Coming Home for Christmas 30/11/2019: #1 for 62 weeks You bitches keep diminishing Bunton's success, outrageous! I should ban you!!! joking! Thank you for these (false) stats!! 😘

Or are you a collector and bought everything released so far, from Funko Pops to the £10,000 Spice Girls Cold Coin????

Oh for sure it is a low money grab, I agree.

OK Im a bit flabbergasted at people not understanding that these are art works lol Photography art is a huge art form, and this is how most artist-photographers (not talking about your local wedding photographer!) make their money. And go to any high-quality/respected photography website and no, these prices are not so out of the ordinary. I have photography art around my house that was much costlier than these... And yes they are limited. The promotional material and website mention that these will never be re-printed or done again. Do you understand that if the artist was to break that contract and one day do the exact same print again, you could take them to court for false advertisement? We are just not the main target (art collectors are!) and we are also not used to having these high quality art works to buy, after 30 years of cheap merch lol..

God damn,.... Imagine one day the real, unedited songs leak properly *calls Dee from the old Denden guard*

I think you are underestimating how much photography sells for... the prices might seem high to us brokies but honestly these are regular prices for photography art

wait are these the original CDrs without the editing that was done before leaking? or are these just the songs you see on YouTube now?

Ah yes you are right about the numbers of items, I will change that. I didnt clock that it was a digital signature from Dean!!! That certainly devalues things imo... I have some photography art in my house and they are all hand-signed both the art itself and the certificate!! I am not sure I agree on the watermark front though. Collectors buy art prints from websites where the photos are available already for them to see. It is about having an original, artist-made print rather than printing it at home or from your local printers, you know? Plus, the art prints and how they are printed (what paper, size, colour palet, matt/reflective, etc) is always the choice of the artist. Fans can always print High res if they want to. It does not make it an official product lol I mean, fans also make dolls and toys all the time (often shared on Spice Circle) but that doesnt make it official lol

So it has started. As of this week, Dean Freeman and his studio are selling A1, A2 and A3 prints of one group image and one individual per girl. This is in partnership with the band so it is legit (though I believe the girls might have waived the rights to the image so that DF can make some cash lol) The prices are high (A3 for £250 to A1 for like £2000), but then again photography art collection is expensive. I wouldn't say they are outrageous considering both Dean and the Spice Girls, as well as how exclusive these are. They are all original prints, signed by Dean and with certificate of authenticity. Are you getting any? CHECK OUT THE COLLECTION HERE

I like Drum Machine but WCPGW is awful

That's hilarious and so on point 😅

Mine goes: Flick of the Wrist Drum Machine Pressure Cashmere The rest

Pressure should have been HIGHER! but yes the two best songs on the album are in the Top2 so for once BuzzJack showed some taste 👏

Checking on the Wannabe HMV page, I ventured into the Spice Girls section and wow quite a few items have gone back on sale same as the official website. It seems like they reprinted quite a lot of items that were not in print/sold out before. So I went on a bit of a deepdive since I am procastinating at work today lol Spice standard black vinyl Spice standard CD (this had been out of print for a few years) Spiceworld standard black vinyl (was out of print ahead of the Spiceworld25 releases) Spiceworld25 cassettes Wannabe25 - it was sold out on HMV for a while, although some copies were still available on their online store. Greatest Hits CD - it is finally availabe on their webstore for the first time! Previously only the vinyl was available there and the CD could only be found on HMV and independent shops. So it seems like Universal has invested a bit of cash in re-printing a few items as well as the new website design. I hope they eventually do re-print the Spiceworld standard CD, it is a crime it hasnt been on print for so long. I am not sure what this means for the Spice30 anniversary. So many versions wildly available of both that album and the Greatest Hits, it seems to indicate that we should not be expecting any re-release of either this autumn ☹️ SOLO-WISE, I think it is curious: The previously sold out Emma's My Happy Place's CD is back in stock, alongside the Delux and Vinyl. We know BMG re-printed it and also re-released the vinyl before, so this is nice to see. Them trickle down sales hopefully stack up! Last we heard the album was on 13,5k copies in the UK and 28k worldwide, back in 2020! So hopefully it has gone up a bit more since. If we look on Discogs, it seems like the standard CD version has been re-printed 4x in Europe and twice in Brazil. Mel C's Melanie C album is also available on both CD and Delux CD. No Vinyl though. The Delux CD has also been reprinted in the UK/Europe, so that's probably why it is still available here. Curiously, Mel B's own LA State of Mind CD is also on sale on HMV. This is quite wild for the 1963 copies selling album... maybe there's plenty of stock left that HMV wants rid of?...

The HMV-exclusive Orange version is back on sale

No, I definitely think they might be fake. Unless proven otherwise, I think it would be safe to assume based on the fact that the seller is simply giving not much information on how they got it (a collector's storage unit sure but a collector is not a reliable source since it could be fan-made stuff that collectors also often purchase/gather), the songs content (just the titles the seller themselves given them) and also the randomness and tag price (people don't even buy the real Spice promos that go for like €500 anymore lol why would they buy £2000-2500 random CDrs with no proof?)... I believe more in the Mel B ones, for sure. The Teddy Rilley one is the one that looks the more 'real' to me. About the I Turn To You (remix), it is possible that this was supposed to be a single in the early stages of the album production and that some money was invested in a remix, or it could be an alternative mix. HOWEVER, we don't know anything about this based on the sellers' description. They don't say if it is a different mix from the Hex Hector or album track mixing, or even the StoneBridge mix. They simply call it a remix and don't say anything else... So I honestly don't know... We should ask the seller to provide some clips or more information. I am sure with some proof, a few fans would gather money to purchase them if they were deemed to be real.

I think it is funny how Mel B and Geri are constantly going viral over the last few weeks on Twitter/X about their potential lesbianism. It's become a thing and I can only imagine it pisses Gerita off lol Mostly, it is all fun and positive. I would even say it is helping to bring the group to younger people as these comments and tweets have mostly been from Gen X and younger people lol

Ah damn, I had no idea about most of this. The ACR rules in the UK are quite wild, I never quite understood them. If Wannabe25 didn't chart I highly doubt this tiny vinyl will, in this scenario then. Also, yes I am with you on the tiny vinyl. I only bought it because it is a novelty and I had never heard of the format but yes it does seem gimmicky and if the quality isn't up to par then I will disregard future ones, specially for this price. I don't know why they didn't just do a 7" then. They could have justified it a bit better for long-term sales like Wannabe25 (which still sells and has been in continuous re-print since 2021!)... Lets see how this fairs...

So this has sold out in the UK at least, both versions. Do we know if this was a very limited release? and if not, do we think we might see a return to the charts? How much would it need to sell to get top200?

Oh hun I was being fully delusional in my head don't worry 😅

You f***ing wish lol
