A warm up act? She performed just before Steps. Her name was the second-biggest in the bill. That Wimbledon gig was in New York, barely advertised and announced in a few days notice. It's clear that you like to take extreme examples in order to portray a very negative picture.

Is she going to release another track from the vaults? I thought this might lead to an entire album of previously unreleased material.

What kind of argument is this? Obviously people care about their faves. Music fandom is subjective. :thinking: Oh, and if it's so "crap"/"rubbish" then why you and Mr. X keep banging on about how you want Emma to do the festival circuit & prides? :cool:

That is such a weird publication strategy. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever. :drama:

When was it set?

But this song isn't really trance. It's more Eurodance / house, IMO. :thinking:

Camila, Beyonce and Diana are all American singers. Historically, American artists have been more successful at developing & sustaining a career, since it's easier for them to crack America & cross over internationally. In addition, American record labels have more clout, budget and resources. It's easier for an American artist to crack the UK than it is for a British artist to crack America. Regarding Cheryl, despite Fight for This Love being a European hit, its parent album only sold enough to be certified in the UK & Ireland only.

I'm surprised it did absolutely nothing down under. What about the US? No traction yet despite the promo trip?

I'm sorry, but I strongly disagree. Melanie, Natalie and Gabrielle have all experienced massive success in the past. They've all sold millions of records as solo artists. They have all released Platinum-certified albums. Each of them has several hits that everyone knows and remembers. They even had international success in their glory days. Arguably, they are somewhat "respected" in the music industry. Mel B couldn't land a Top 10/15 album. She doesn't have the fanbase that Melanie and Emma have. That's the reason why LASOM failed to chart. We also know that her Spice individual vinyl was the least popular. So even if she produced 27 variants it wouldn't matter. Secondly, she couldn't do the festivals that Melanie does. She doesn't have the back catalogue of hits + live credibility that Melanie has. Heck, she doesn't even sing live! Could you see her being invited to play Glasto? A one time Mighty Hoopla mini-set (a la Lisa Scott Lee) is a different thing. That she could do. But that's it.

Melanie's success in continental Europe continued into the noughties. Even nowadays, almost 25 years into her solo career, I don't think there's an active British former girl group member who is more in demand than her.

Banger! :wub: Call me a lioness I wear it on my chest Won't stop till we're holding up the cup 'Cause winning once was not enough Singing la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la We're bringing it home again La, la, la, la, la, la, la, la, la We're bringing it home again

I think it will get its 11th Top 40 week in September, once the album is released.

See the opening post.

Melanie's remix of 'I like u' has moved up to #4 on her most 'Popular' tracks on Spotify. It has been streamed 175,502 times so far (by 125,159 different listeners!). By the way, I've just had a look at the This Is Melanie C playlist. It has 51 tracks in total and is a pretty good mix of old & new material, including collaborations.

Hype! :cheeseblock: @1685874715183976449

What I'm surprised about is that he didn't really want to work with Cheryl. Polydor wouldn't have let Florence record for Clavin if he hadn't given Call My Name to Cheryl.

It's behind a paywall.

I can't see her doing Wembley Stadium. Didn't the Golden Tour struggle somewhat? It was scaled down for a reason. Do you reckon she is more popular nowadays?

"Demand for her recently announced shows has been off the chart" - how can they tell if tickets haven't gone on sale yet? :blink:

Melanie performed @ Kendal Calling Festival in the Lake District on Friday: @1684984494292385792

Hmmmm... :thinking:

Melanie performed @ Standon Calling Festival in Hertfordshire last Sunday: @1683225964501663744 @1684222767468621828

I can't see her releasing another TV edition after Speak Now so soon. It would be an overkill.
