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.

And this is because they share the same record label. :whistle:

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.

What do you mean? It is already released. There isn't going to be a physical single.

I get what you mean! :lol: The chorus is such an earworm. It is stuck in my head. :music: I wonder if they are gonna release a full video. Here is the second teaser: @1684633413142151170

It was non-stop rain when Melanie headlined Chalfest in Stroud last Saturday: @1683534552331894790

Melanie was interviewed about her memoir and later played a DJ set at Meta's corporate event in London on Thursday last week:

Not really. It can grow in the coming weeks. Not everything has to be a bonafide hit from the get go.

LMAO. She has been EXPOSED. @1684971912319905792
