20. Right Back At Ya Score: 6,81 Spice it up through and through, through and through to the limit They all try and diss us but there ain't nothing in it The album version of Right Back At Ya could very well be labelled as the Darkchild Mix of the song. Infamously the only track from the 1999 sessions with the old Spice-producers crew to survive the 'lets go full on r&b' turn of the band's sound, Right Back At Ya is also the only album track to be performed live still to this day (stream the video linked please cos they surely need it as it is embarassing it has barely crossed the 10,000 streams after 3 weeks like a Mel C 3rd single's music video!) Think it is fair to say that this also a bittersweet moment in Forever. Originally recorded as a funk-pop track with a lot of energy and punch, the song was then given to Darkchild to turn into a 'plodding along r&b track devoided of any flavour' as Elliot Kennedy called it (he was right!). While in 1999 the song was treated as a strong-enough contender for a single, even getting a performance slot in one of the group's live tours as a preview to the upcoming album, by the time Forever was released, the reaction to it was nothing more than a big 'meh'... Somehow it seemed old news and like a missed opportunity, forgotten in the middle of the 'hard-hitting section' of Forever. Was Elliott right? Did they miss the chance of using the original to mix up the album's sound? we will never know... 19. Do It Score: 6,90 Keep your mouth shut, keep your legs shut, get back in your place Ha, blameless, shameless, damsel in disgrace Interviewer: Hey Mel C, what is your least favourite Spice Girls song? Mel C: Do It. For once, Mel C, we do agree. To be fair to Mel, she also says Voodoo, depending on which song she remembers first I guess lol One of the most empowering-lyrics matched with anthemic sounding production of their catalogue, for sure, even if the chorus is the most superficial, AI-sounding mess of a chorus of any of their songs. Even Voodoo's chorus is better and less generic than this. Sadly, it just makes the whole song sound superficial and awkward. Live, it always just plods along as well... What saves it is the beautiful vocals from Emma and Mel C, and some of the clever lyrical play in the verses. Still, it is the only song I skip from any of their albums as it is grating as hell.

@-Jay- THANK GOD someone agrees on Wasting My Time. It's such a great song, well written and produced. The only thing missing is Mel B on it as I think she would have sounded great too. And yeah, maybe it Weekend Love and Wasting My Time swapped places it would be better? Or after Time Goes By so the last section of the album wasn't so slow?... When it comes to Horny Spice, they did come back a bit with Forever, as Holler, Get Down With Me and If You Wanna Have Some Fun do thread on them being horny and having sex but it is not so 'in your face' as they were before Spice was released lol

Spice Girls - Chart Runs & Sales Thread: UK
Can someone with a Wikipedia account update the pages for UK best selling singles? It is embarassing that the girls are not included when Wannabe, 2 Become 1 and Say You'll be There/Spice Up your Life should be included, at the very least... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_singles_in_the_United_Kingdom Also, it annoys me that they are listed in the 'best selling albums' lists on Wikipedia with Spice at 23million and Spiceworld with 14million when we know they sold more than that... These are the same sales since like 1999... Surely we can find reliable sources that put Spice at 30million and Spiceworld at least at 17million????

25. My Strongest Suit Score: 6,27 I would rather wear a barrel than conservative apparel Because dress has always been my strongest suit Written by Elton John and Tim Rice for inclusion in their musical AIDA this song was given to the Spice Girls to record and for exclusive inclusion in its Soundtrack. It never officially became a single, though it did get quite good radio play at the time and Mel C and Victoria even gave some interviews in early 1999 to promote it. The opportunity for another big hit was certainly there but Victoria and Mel B were giving birth to their children around this time, so obviously the Spice Girls were not releasing any more music for a while, let alone a one-off single from a soundtrack of a stage musical. A shame though, as it could have been a fun little single to add to their catalogue of hits, and provide a much needed boost of energy to their 1998-2000 output, while fitting really well with their Greatest Hits, for instance, and in the Return tour at least. While it is a big pop number and sonically very close to the Spice Girls own music, thematically it is a big shift for the Spice Girls as for the first time they sing about material things being the most important thing to them, which was very off-brand (musically at least, because it was very on-brand for their merch brand lol)... 24. Weekend Love Score: 6,70 (MEL B BARGES THROUGH THE STUDIO DOOR) Every time I turn around you're standing right there I really don't want you and I really don't care Probably the most bittersweet of all Forever tracks, a song that divides the fandom constantly. Some love it, some absolutely hate it because of Mel B's rap, some just think it is lame and naff. Thematically it is very on-brand for the Spice Girls and very girl power, about a one-night stand or small fling, and one of the most interesting lyrically. Interestingly this was probably one of the most radio-ready songs of the album, for its production and vibe was very much en vogue at the time. So much so that a promo CD was even made, with many rumours floating around that this was going to be a single after Tell Me Why and If You Wanna Have Some Fun, had the group stayed together. I can totally see it actually as this sound was very popular at the time and this is still the most POP of all the songs on the album. 23. Give You What You Want / If It's Loving On Your Mind Score: 6,72 Just because I kept your pager number Doesn't mean I wanted to go on Don't you know? That is just the way I am, boy The third leak from the infamous Elliott Kennedy leaks to leave the rate, this is often banged about by fans as a bop and possible single in 1999. However, there is very little information on this song that points in that direction other than fan-delusion. The most pop-by-numbers of the 4 leaked tracks, it sounds very very close to a FIVE or Backstreet Boys sound of the time, which was a popular sound in the UK at the time, and most probably why it was left on the cutting room floor. It also provides some of the WORST lyrics of their career, only made up by the girls singing beautifully over it. Sure, maybe with some more work on the lyrics the track could be improved, but it is an attempt to sound like other bands of the time, and so not Spice Girls at all, imo. Personally, it sounds like a Walk of Life or Outer Space Girls to me: tracks that sound like they couldn't really be bothered too much and tryed - and failed - to recreate other popular sounds. It probably would have ended up as a b-side somewhere had they actually released singles in 1999. 22. Wasting My Time Score: 6,76 Baby, who was the one who treated you so bad that you Felt that you had to do to me what she had done to you? EVERYONE WHO VOTED LOWER THAN 8 FOR THIS TRACK COME OUTSIDE RIGHT NOW, I JUST WANNA TALK!!!! I am actually shocked this is so low, as many have considered it in the past as one of the best on Forever. Yet the BuzzJacks shit all over it and FAIL to give taste! Wasting My Time provides one of the sassiest, most girl-power and funkiest moments on Forever, while also being one of the oddest. Coming right after Get Down With Me on the album is probably one of the biggest flaws as it is quite close rhythmically to that song, but it is a groove indeed! Lyrically also one of the best on the album with wordplay all over it and all three girls who sing on it providing excellent vocals! Strangelly, Victoria does not have a writing credit at all on the track even though she shines singing all over it. On the other hand, Melanie B has a writing credit but is nowhere to be heard - not even on backing vocals or harmonies at all. A fan-fact: this was the last track recorded by the band for the album. In Summer 2000, after the group decided to give Darkchild the Executive Producing role, they were lacking some more songs that made a cohesive sound. So they went back into the studio and recorded this, as well as the r&b version of Right Back At Ya that eventually made the album. Rumour has it that an r&b version of WOMAN was also attempted during this time but they decided that this version didnt work. 21. Bumper To Bumper Score: 6,78 Pull over, pull over You're drivin' me reckless Over the limit Alright, you're gonna get this Bumper to bumper Bumper to bumper I want to drive your body All night I want a back seat lover All right Horny Spice are my favourite Spice! Perhaps too raunchy for the album itself, this is one of the most interesting and experimental tracks they did back in the Spice era before they went almost full-mainstream Pop. They are literally singing about going out into town on the pull and jumping on a guy's dick! They were quite horny during their first era, from Bumper to Bumper, to Feed Your Love, C U Next Tuesday, Last Time Lover (which apparently was first conceived as First Time Lover) and even 2 Become 1. Strange they never revisited this type of track in their subsequent albums and sound. Once their demographic was established as teens and young girls and gays, the horny-sultry Spice went out of the window... Technically the second released song by the band, as the very first b-side to Wannabe, this sultry, horny pop number was a fun companion to the lead single and showcased the Spice Girls in contrasting light to it. Co-written by the iconic Cathy Dennis, it has always been a highlight of their b-sides catalogue but strangely was left out from the Spice25 celebrations!

30. Melody of Life Score: 5,81 Get up get down, come party with me! Another treat this year from the Touch Vaults surfaced this year in the form of Melody of Life, another one of their early recording sessions before they left the original management. It is another empowering, get up and lets have a good time up-tempo, quite funky and very of it's mid-90s time. The Mel C-led chorus is quite empty sounding though, could have done with a little more of a boost and harmonies attached to her lead vocal. The lyrics are quite sacarine but not too bad, you can tell they were developing still as a writing and singing group. Mel B's rap is quite good - it really elevates the song. It was a cute surprise for this to drop this year and could see it becoming a b-side or added to a future celebration release, to be honest, as it is quite a good demo. 29. Pain Proof Score: 5,83 You can twist our words to suit your twisted views It ain't our damn choice to always be in the news Back in 2015, as the 20th anniversary of Spice was getting close, rumours started circuling that the girls were looking at a comback and indeed, they were. What became of that, however, is a sad story for another day (I blame Mel C for pulling out to release that atrociously mid Version of Me album) HOWEVER, as the hubbub about a potential return was gearing up, some naughty - though cunning - fans took it upon themselves to call up Mr Elliot Kennedy himself and pretended to be Simon Fuller and LIED to him about how they were going to look at their full catalogue to release more songs, and asked if Elliott could send him/them directly the demos of the songs he recorded with the four-piece in Summer 1999 to his email address. In a stunning feat of self-defeat - or genious - Elliot did exactly that and send the demos via email to what one can only imagine was a very official-sounding email like itssimonfullerzigazigah1994@gmail.com because why would Elliot Kennedy have Simon's professional email - it is not like they worked together from 1995 - 1998 anyway?!! The rest is history. The four songs he sent were then sold around on the interwebs and eventually, a pissed of buyer leaked the songs for us all to GORGE on forever more. Up until this point, NONE of us even knew the titles or the existence of these songs. But by Flawless Spice we have been munching on them ever since! Thank you Elliott for being a dumb bitch and also to the fans who had the BALLS to come up with this ingenious plot! No wonder the girls hate us and give us nothing, but HEY every now and then we get some leaks and for that I am THANKFUL otherwise we would get nothing! We'll get to the rest of the songs eventually, but Pain Proof is the first to leave this rate - and rightly so! It's a fun track, with an attempt at a pop-rock sound that they had first started on with Step To Me (another Elliott track!) back in 1996/1997! Written at the hight of press-mania around them, specially in a year when Victoria and Mel B had been huge press targets due to babies and marriages, and Mel C going all rock spice, it's an angry song all around. The lyrics are perhaps the more in your face 'we hate the press, leave us alone' they ever did, and from these sessions, you could tell they were attempting to write also about their experiences in the industry itself. The song lacks a bit of punch though, the production sound too safe and they would have needed to re-work some of those clunky lyrics, but nothing to be ashamed about here, just needed maybe a better producer to work on it. They sound great though, and special mention to Emma's grawl at the end of her verse! It is of course the worst of the four tracks from those sessions, but I could see it being a b-side had they released an album in 1999. Maybe a b-side to WOMAN or a ballad?... 28. Baby Come Round Score: 6,09 Hey come round and remember How it started up, oh-oh A b-side to Who Do You Think You Are/Mama, this has been a point of intrigue for quite a long time for many of us. Mel C sings the full thing ( it is almost a solo song ), Victoria and Emma back her up throughout and Mel B pops out for a quick breakdown in the bridge. No sign of Gerita. They sound gorgeous in the harmonies though, some of their best! It's a slow-jam, soulful groove track that is definitely b-side material and I'm surprised it is higher here than some of the songs that have already left the rate. I also am baffled as to why this got even released when songs like Feed Your Love could have been perfect b-sides to their singles with some polishing. 27. A Day in Your Life Score: 6,18 You've gotta dance like there's nobody watching you And you've gotta love like you've never been hurt Another one of the infamous Elliott Ms Messy Kennedy leaks, and this time it is a beautiful, even if somehow muted ballad. The production is a bit of a mess, but of course this is a demo only, so give it some credit. They all sound gorgeous throughout it, Victoria was definitely giving it all, and Mel C sounds great in the chorus. The main issue here, with most of the Elliott Kennedy demos, is that the lyrics sound so basic and surface level while the melodies are definitely there for what could be really excellent songs. Like the chorus here could be impecable, but it is let down by the saccarine lyrics. In many ways, this is the little sister to Let Love Lead The Way which is far superior. Had this been worked on more, with more polished lyrics, production and singing (some of Mel B's vocals sound rough!), I can see it being good enough for a pop album. Hell, had the lyrics been better it could have even been a single, in my opinion. Guess we'll never know what it would sound like had they not pivot to a full on r'n'b project back then! 26. Time Goes By Score: 6,19 As you hold me close so tenderly, and I watch you fall to sleep I see in you the one who now completes the half of me I used to be The very first of the main album tracks leaves the rate and it is not surprising that it's Time Goes By! Often derided as Forever's worst track (but apparently one of groups' favourites), it is the slowest and more 'lovey dovey' song they have ever done as a group. Lyrically, it has stunning moments. They all sound incredible in this song, quite extra points towards Victoria and Emma who give it all here and shine throughout. Sadly, the production lets it down, as it sort of just plods along. I always thought that had they all been sat around a piano singing it, it would have sounded a million times better! Alas...

Exactly. I don't know why they act like these songs are the worst things ever. They are fun demos to be enjoyed by the fans and expand their discography, not to go and perform at Wembley Stadium lol Agree on your Feed Your Love take. If it had a shorted edit, I think it would be really f***ing awesome and probably higher in this rate. Mel B in the verses and Victoria and Emma in the chorus are pure heaven. Shame barely any Mel C but I remember reading that she didnt do her verse/ad libs as they decided pretty quickly that it wasnt going to make the album or something like that so they never finished it.

34. Sugar & Spice Score: 5,45 Here we go with flow, you know One of the first songs the group ever wrote and recorded, back in the day when they were changing the name to Spice, it was written by the group inspired by the name change! Leaked this year during a mass-leak of unreleased songs (including also Melody of Life and a Mel C and Victoria Beckham demos) by fans upset that the girls were neglecting us by giving us nothing over the years, the song was a breath of fresh air to a fandom gagging for unreleased or new material from the band. Doesn't look like the BuzzJack girlies love it that much though. It is definitely 'of its time' but it provides a good insight into the type of songs they were interested in, as it had similar groove and structures - and a rap! - to some of their biggest hits. The sampling, the r'n'b of it all, Mel B's shout-singing... it's a fun track! Definitely could see this as a b-side to one of their singles, and they should have kept it for the Spice era at least... Geri's rap though is..... pretty f***ing bad 33. Feed Your Love Score: 5,46 Seems like the situation's stretching in front of me, it's tempt of a kind, it feels so right The first song written in the infamous original Biff sessions! This soul-pop-r'n'b track was released as part of the 25th anniversary celebrations of Wannabe and Spice in 2021 and marks, to this day, the ONLY song from the vaults to be gifted to the fans, after 25 years of us asking for it! It came to prominence and much fan-fare over the years when Biff posted a clip of it on his Instagram years ago. Fans went mad and wanted it to leak or release and finally - finally - they caved in. It's filled with innuendo - it is rumoured to be about oral sex lol - and it is naughty and spicy as they come. When the group were choosing the tracklist, this was left on the cutting floor, like C U Next Tuesday, for being too raunchy for the audiences they wanted to tackle. Let us remember that this is still very much a demo, without proper mixing and/or finishing. Some of the vocals are a bit rough, but who cares??!! It's a rare gem that we were given, and a pretty good one too! Let's hope it is not another 25 years before they gift us another gem like this. 32. Outer Space Girls Score: 5,48 Two thousand years, some kinda fantasy My baby in the interstellar odyssey Right, this is a shocker to me! Not that I like it, but this has for years been banged about as one of their most fan-loved b-sides but it seems like the BuzzJack girlies don't particularly rate it (like me lol) Lyrically it is fun, but this is a bit too on-the-nose cringe to be an album track, and it served perfectly fine as a b-side. Geri's intro 'Get with the M-G-M-V-E' bit as always reduced this to almost Steps level of pop and the 'Outta Space Giiiiiirlllsss' with the robotic voices always made me cringe a bit too much, but it matched the 'spice world' theme of the second album, for sure, and it also matched the start of the 'futuristic music' that the industry was going into at the time, with the turn of the millenium. Fan-fact: This, alongside Walk of Life and Step To Me were originally at least considered to be included in the main album. We know this because the Spice Girls mentioned about STM in the official mag being on the album, Walk of Life showed up in a few album work-in-progress promo CDs pre-release and all of them were mixed by Spike Stent - something Virgin wouldnt spend the huge amounts of money that the very expensive Spike Stent costed, unless they were expecting it to go on the album. 31. Christmas Wrapping Score: 5,63 Tesco has provided me With the world's smallest turkey Already in the oven, nice and hot Oh damn, guess what I forgot? Released as a b-side to their THIRD Christmas #1 hit Goodbye, this little Christmas treat is a cover of 1981's original by The Waitresses, with slightly modified lyrics (although no-one apart from the original sole writer gets a credit!). It was recorded by Emma and Mel C only as Mel B and Victoria were heavily pregnant during its recording sessions. Side (sad) note: this is, to this day, their very last b-side After being pretty much forgotten by most for 20 years, it recently became a bit of a streaming and radio hit during Christmas, after going viral in 2022 and thus being included in some pretty heavy Christmas playlists across streaming platforms - no doubt a push by the EMI/Universal label. It streams so much during the holiday season that next year might become their SECOND most streamed non-single on Spotify, after Never Give Up On The Good Times. After the group pretty much ignored it going viral and becoming a Christmas streaming force, finally this year they did something about it - that something being putting it on a digital EP available only to stream, the inglorious Spice Up Your Xmas! EP Hopefully one day they will do a lyric video and/or a little Christmas EP vinyl release and give it proper attention? LOL we can only wish...

1999 Lead Single Decisions
I would have loved that but I do wish they had kept the original plan of putting a full album out in 1999... WOMAN as lead and then Holler following would have been like an updated strategy like Wannabe - Say You'll Be There but more modern overall, and probably received much much better than Forever eventually was. I would have also kept Let Love Lead The Way as an album track though, as much as I love it nowadays, I just think the chorus and verses lyrics are a bit too undercooked still... I think as a ballad, Oxygen would have worked much better with a single edit. Something like: 1st single: WOMAN 2nd single: Holler + album 3rd single: If You Wanna Have Some Fun/Oxygen for Christmas 4th single: another pop track in Spring 2000 to close the album's promo and go on tour! Then go on to do a final album in late 2000, in the lines of Forever with maybe three singles and call it a day and focus on solo albums for a while. Mel C should have waited, damn it!

Spice Girls - Album Tracks, Bsides & Others RATE - RESULTS FROM PAGE 3!!
OK Spice Bitches let's go! It's time to reveal the results!! We're breaking down the most random, rare and underappreciated Spice Girls classics! From complete drivel to absolute stunning songs, it's all here and we love them all !! (even Do It, apparently, for some reason because you don't love yourselves!) 41. Spice Invaders Score: 4.27 This song is full of valid information. Information like 'never wee with your knickers on' Released as the b-side to Spice Up Your Life, this almost-song provides a glimpse into what the Spice Girls might be like in the studio. It contains random sayings like the quote above, Indian-music samples, Geri hugging a tree, and Mel B grabbing her phone. I never understood the hate for this track. It's pure Spice Girls, having some mad fun in the studio. I think it is quite anarquic, in a way it is them completely ripping up the pop-song rule book and having fun with it! Still, it is the least loved out of them all. 40. Voodoo Score: 4.54 Cuz the fever's gonna get you yeah yeah Wow... I mean, what to say about this... The girls really tried to re-create a poor version of Who Do You Think You Are with the lamest production and lyrics ever with this song... It was shocking SHOCKING that they would even include this song in the GREATEST HITS ALBUM (said in Victoria Beckham at ROTSG Tour introducing Headlines voice!)... It's probably their worst ever album track, and it sounded dated on arrival. They tried to create a new 'zig-a-zig-ah' with this, with the awful 'Party La'... I mean, what the hell does that even mean? It sounds so fake.... Even Biff appologised for this, and whilst they have included it in every single released vinyl edition of the Greatest Hits, they made the wise decision to not include it in the Yoto Card version of the album, so as not to scar the over 5,000 children that were gifted that! 39. Sleigh Ride Score: 4,63 Father Christmas doesn't exist, Mel! The very first Spice Girls christmas release, and the first one to include them talking over each other in between singing! The song that opened the path for Spice Invaders and Spice Chat 'Shall We Say Goodbye Then'!! A b-side to their first Christmas #1, 2 Become 1, it still plays on the radio a lot but doesn't necessarily stream that well... Sadly it feels quite forgotten, it only streamed like 150,000 on Spotify this month, compared to their other Christmas song which has streamed over 10x that! It could really be a Christmas stapple if they played their cards right, since it does get picked up on radio/TV across the season, which signals that some effort by the record label is being done (and some coin is being made!)... Recently, Ferne Cotton said in her BBC show that this was her SECOND Favourite Christmas song of all time! Not here though, it fails to convince the BuzzJacks! 38. Song For Her Score: 4,81 Nobody knows, but I’m barely just keeping it together I don't know why but this song feels very Geri 'Half of Me' Halliwell and I am really glad it leaked and that reunion failed as a consequence. It is awful. I will leave it at that. 37. Likely Stories aka C U Next Tuesday Score: 5,08 I know the truth about your indiscretion, let it be your lesson, you know where the door is (Likely stories) SOME OF YOU REALLY HATE FUN HEY!! Thank God Mel C saw the light and leaked campaigned so hard for this song to get 'out there' that it did eventually turned up online! And we're talking about MEL f***ING C, the woman who said 'b-sides are b-sides for a reason' and was adamant that unreleased songs were so crap they should not be heard, even though she herself has filled her solo albums with absolute drivel for the past 25 years! It's a bop! It's Spice Girls at their best: fun, naughty, sexy and playful, while being rude as f*** at the same time. It's definitely why it wasnt released, but it should one day be included in a sort of Anthology or collection release. I'm surprised it is so low, I though most of the fandom really loved it. 36. Strong Enough Score: 5,09 You're a little girl, in a big and rocky world, you've got your own way at last In many ways, this is the big sister to Song For Her. The lyrics are totally cringe and 'fridge-magnet' type of empowerment tripe. Seems like most of us are glad it got left on the demos floor! 35. One of These Girls Score: 5,18 but when we got together we just come as one doin' mmm, mmm and a-whoa yeah The second b-side to 2 Become 1, and one of their first songs to be performed LIVE ON TV before they were mega famous. It seems like at some point this was even considered for the Spice album, but it was ultimately reduced to b-side status (and thankfully so!!)

Emma Bunton - 2 Become 1
Happy 1st anniversary to this little gem ❤️ Whilst it was a bit 'why is she doing another version of 2 Become 1??' I do think it was cute and a nice surprise at the time. It also indicated to us that Emma might be back with XIX Magament/19 Records, which signalled that she might had been preparing a solo come back? Of course, since then, nothing else music-wise came from her and seemingly we are back at square 0. But if anything, she did good with this I think.

1999 Lead Single Decisions
Yes it was f***ing awful what she did. In her own words, she was being a brat. I think once they had more control after Simon left, the others stepped up more and she felt redundant (in her own words, she said it in the Giving you Everything doc). She also was clearly struggling with touring as it exposed her in ways that studio and TV performances didnt. Which says more about her being egotistical than anything else. She was never much of a group player, she always wants to be the one that calls the shots. When that wasnt the case anymore, she left. And personally, good riddance, if thats the case. It's a group, not 'Geri and the others'. But lets not just blame Gerita. Mel C had as much blame for the demise of the group, since she prioritised her solo career in 1999, which derailed the group's album to late 2000 and even then she acted like a spoiled brat who didn't want to be there. Had she not gotten any success with Never Be The Same Again and I Turn To You, she would have f***ing crawled back to the group (like she did in 2007 when she couldnt fund her own music anymore and need a regular cash cow!). I would have LOVED a 4-piece album in 1999 as planned and another in 2000, personally. I do not care that Geri wasn't there, I don't think they needed her. What they needed was to be the great group they were as a 4-piece.

Spice Girls at The Sphere 2026
Just had a thought that actually I would hate it if they do it as a 5-piece or a 4-piece without it being attached to a world-wide tour. I would absolutely detest that as I think The Sphere is crap, beneath them and like a rollercoaster-type entertainment rather than a serious music venue or place to be. But if they were offered it and only Mel C, Mel B and Emma did it as the Spice Girls, I wouldnt mind the three of them getting that coin!
