The GH is now at #23 on UK iTunes

I’ve had a little rant on Insta stories about this ☺️ You inspired me, Jay

GH #39 on UK iTunes

I agree these are some of the stories we’ve read about and maybe only the fan base really knew about them, but it’s nice that this documentary has been made so that a wider audience gets an understanding of what they actually went through. The episode also made me a little angry and when you think what presenters, journalists and newspapers got away with was terrible. Ideally what I’d also like for their 25th anniversary would be similar to the GYE documentary career story but more like the VF music where there are more personal stories about those early days in the studio and actually how they made their music.

Episode 2 tonight About the episode

Melanie came out of a London taxi (like the 2012 Olympics) and danced to Wannabe. First score was 27/40

Ooh exciting 👏👏 Danilo did their calendars back in the 90s. This is great

Billboard magazine had the total down as 718,000+ by March, 1997. By April, 1997 it went 4x Platinum (800k) and according to the official spice girls magazine’s August 1997 issue it had sold 1 million.

I see, Jay. Thanks for letting me know. I don’t think I worded it right lol. Because when people mention the sales of ‘Spice’ they mention imports alone and not the overall sales and that always confused me.

What was the import sales thing all about in Japan?

1 billion YouTube views :wub:

Goodbye is at #10 on the iTunes chart in the UAE with 1 sale (it's an appearance) ;) Global Queens :cheer:

Amazon Dance Pop Chart #1 - GH #52 - Viva Forever CD single #87 - Forever #132 - Spice

The documentary was watched by 850,000 viewers on C4. I don't know the channel's average viewership for a documentary at 9pm on a weekday but I was hoping for a million at least.

Nice few streaming updates coming soon post wise (I'll keep a few as a surprise as I keep an eye on things) ;) 2B1 hit 90 million streams on Spotify this week. It does 1.8m a month, so if it continues with it's average it'll get to 100m by the end of January 2022. However with Spice25 coming out in October and the single's 25th anniversary in December that may happen a lot quicker. Also, the Spice album will reach 900m streams in about a week and fingers crossed by Spring 2022 it reaches 1 billion (maybe a little faster with the anniversary) As for other singles, SYBT is the nearest to 100m after 2B1, and again, going by its average, it should get there by September 2022 (fingers crossed the anniversary gets it there a little quicker) Their YouTube channel will be crossing 1 billion views later this week, so some of these new stats will look so much better :cheer:

See if this documentary gives their social media a bit of a boost after tonight’s episode. Their numbers are currently Instagram - 712k Twitter - 108.5k Facebook - 440k YouTube - 962k

Been listening to this album the most for the past week. I bought it back in 2007 but I think it's stood the test of time. Been listening to Close to Love and Black Jacks all week

As of now 4pm UK time GH #59 - iTunes UK Amazon UK Top 100 cds and vinyl - #252 Dance Pop Chart - #6

I’ll say #2 and the sales margin of 10-15k

Jay, you should create a temporary thread asking fans to guess the chart position and rough opening week sales
