Spice Girls Net

Whether the song was any good or if it was even an album track, I truly believe that anything they released in 1997 in the UK would have gone to #1 they were so powerful at the time.

The SG Instagram page has reached 700k followers

Spice Girls first performance of Wannabe at the TOTP studios 25 years ago today :wub:

Wannabe is up over 1000+ places and is at #189 on iTunes in the U.S. I wonder why it's had an increase?

Yes exactly what I'm thinking. Let it play to the next song at least. Click on SUYL or SYBT :blink:

SG have overtaken PCD on Spotify for their monthly listeners by over 8k and are now the 4th most listened to girl group behind Little Mix, Destiny's Child and Blackpink @1421140903838863362

Still my favourite along with Who I Am

Such a shame as some people will look at these totals and think ‘those songs weren’t big’ as they’ll compare them to the over inflated streaming sales of today What’s so amazing is 90% of their single sales are pure cd and download sales I do wish songs like Viva Forever had a higher sales total - it’s such an underrated single.

It’s done 58k since May 2019 when we got the last official OCC update of 740k that’s 2k a month on average so it should be 800k by August and hopefully be nearer to 810k by the end of the year

I know the album was #1 on the International album chart. I wasn't sure if there was a general Oricon singles chart and an international Oricon singles chart. Thanks for the info :)

This article in Music and Media states that during one particular week in August 1996 "Wannabe" was No.2 on the Oricon Singles Chart in Japan. I always thought "Wannabe" was #1 in Japan on a chart, but officially the SG Oricon page says the position was No.50. Were there multiple charts, if so does anyone know the actual chart position? Thank you. Article is on page 7 Music and Media

Spice Girls are up another 13k listeners on Spotify. Another 26k to overtake PCD to be in the Top 4 girl groups with the most monthly listeners 2B1 has moved back up to 3rd place on Top 10 most popular tracks on Spotify and SUYL is back down to 4th

Stop peaked at #2 in Guatemala sometime in 1998. Someone's added it to their Stop Wikipedia page, which is a nice find :cheer: I wonder if it got to #1 there at all? :D

Maybe a tour in 2023 to mark 25 years of their first world tour in 1998 :lol:

FYL was always the focus really not the demo. Feed Your Love will be over 400k in a couple of weeks.

Yes it is :cheer: They need another 69k to overtake PCD

Spice Girls have overtaken Fifth Harmony’s monthly listeners and are now the 5th most-streamed girl group on the platform. Top 5 on Spotify 1. Little Mix 2. Destiny’s Child 3. BlackPink 4. Pussycat Dolls 5. Spice Girls

Talking about British girl group's success in the U.S. taking into account all girl groups across the decades these are the GG's with the most Top 10s on the Billboard Hot 100 Spice Girls - 4 Bananarama - 3 All Saints - 1

Would be nice if it could stay in the Top 10 a little bit longer as it's visible at the moment. If Holler does reappear soon hopefully the vinyl release will help FYL on streaming again.

Thank you Jay for all your hard work :wub:

I have no idea. It's baffling you'd think Whole Again would be their most streamed song. I did look on Wiki and it seems that TTIH was used in various adverts and movies and was a staple on Radio Disney for a couple of years in the U.S. so maybe that's benefitted the song. But as it's a cover you wouldn't think it would be that memorable.

Aside from LM the Spice Girls are the most streamed British girl group of the 90s and 00s in terms of total stream counts I put this list together of the Top 10 (I'm sure I've not missed anyone out) Top 10 most streamed British girl group songs of the 90s and 00s 1. Spice Girls - Wannabe - 609.5m 2. Atomic Kitten - The Tide is High - 117m 3. Spice Girls - Stop - 101.5m 4. All Saints - Pure Shores - 97.3m 5. Atomic Kitten - Whole Again - 89.6m 6. Spice Girls - 2 Become 1 - 86.6m 7. Sugababes - About You Know - 86.5m 8. Sugababes - Push The Button - 85.2m 9. Spice Girls - Say You'll Be There - 78.2m 10. Spice Girls - Spice Up Your Life - 72m

YouTube total views have reached 980m should get to 1 billion in August. 935k subscribers too. Hopefully it'll reach 1m at least by 2022.

That’s very true what you say Jay about the viewers v touring When there’s an artist on TV at a festival or a live TV performance it usually makes more impact than say a tour itself, unless you want to reminisce and look back. I’d totally be here for a Glastonbury performance and Simon, the girls and the label shouldn’t worry about there being some kind of televised performance to keep we still want a tour.

Yes since the Wannabe EP release on July 9th, Stop has done over 100k everyday since, apart from one day where it did 99k :cheer:
