Spice Girls Net

Melanie had 746k Instagram followers the other day and since Emma, Geri and Vic (30m combined Instagram followers) posted a birthday post for Melanie, she's now crossed 760k :cheer: I'm also streaming NS and Melanie C. It's the least we can do on her birthday :D

Posting some end of year achievements for the year 2000 (mostly solo) with a few from the group on my Spice Girls Net Insta stories if anyone's interested :)

I don’t think the BRITs care too much about how big of a year a group has. In 1997 the Spice Girls had 4 No.1s in the U.K., 2 No.1 albums and was then UK/World’s best selling music act and yet they weren’t even nominated for best group at the 1998 ceremony. Unless you’re a solo act like Duffy, Adele, Amy or Dua you don’t get a look in.

Thank you Jay 🙏

Thank you Jay for clearing that up. Sadly their trickle sales will probably keep decreasing year after year (like most artists) as iTunes sales dwindle and streaming continues to grow.

As I posted a few weeks ago with the OCC article about the 'best selling Christmas songs', 2B1's current pure sales total is at 1.150m but back in 2017 it was at 1.140m that means it's done over 10k in pure sales in a three year period. I wonder how well their other singles have done over the last few years (Wannabe, SUYL) in comparison?

GOLD for 'Levitating' 400k @1347563712459239426

It’s actually appearing under ‘Top Pop Albums’ and it’s currently 5.99

Probably my favourite song on the album along with In and Out of love. Your kind of limited during a pandemic but love the light effect against her in some of the shots

That's what I was thinking... :rofl: I'm gonna stick with 54k :D :wub:

Hey guys I made a little 2001 playlist to celebrate all of the 2001 releases turning 20 this year. If anyone wants to give it a play and give these amazing singles some more streams it would be more than welcome. Thank you. :cheer:

The last update for the 'VB' album was 53,938 and according to the OCC article this week about albums turning 20 in 2021 has the album at 54k now A Girl Like Me is also in the article but hasn't increased. Still at 127k sales. OCC

Up to 7.79 million listeners. Nearly at 7.8m and it was 7m only a week ago :cheer:

Wannabe is on various iTunes and Apple Music charts and now it’s appeared on Spotify Spotify (New Year’s Eve plays) #63 Germany (178,856) #81 Austria (9,252) #86 Hungary (5,990) #111 France (88,980) #114 Belgium (13,876) #114 Switzerland (11,282)

I’m sure Ed Sheeran is the only other artist so I guess they would also be the only group to achieve this too 👏

Recap for anyone that misses it as stories only last 24 hours Globally, ‘Wannabe’ was the most streamed song of the 90s on Spotify by a female artist in 2020 (beating TLC, Destiny’s Child, Britney Spears, Celine Dion and J.Lo to name a few) ‘Wannabe’ was the first British girl group single to reach 500 million streams on Spotify. (If it continues to get approx 2 million streams per week it should hit 600m streams by July to coincide with its 25th anniversary) ‘Stop’ was certified Platinum in the UK in 2020, making the Spice Girls the only girl group to have their first 9 releases reach platinum. In 2020, the Spice Girls became the first ever girl group to have all of their singles from their first two albums reach platinum in the UK. ‘Spice’ crossed 3 million units in the UK in 2020 and is still the best selling girl group album of all time. Spice Girls reached over 1 billion Spotify streams in total in 2020

Wannabe iTunes #225 Spain Apple Music #83 Germany #141 Burkina Faso #292 France #297 Austria #315 Denmark #385 Luxembourg #396 United Kingdom #487 Belgium

Yes so happy. The fact that they're the second most streamed British girl group of all time with just 3 studio albums and 11 singles and have the most streams for a British girl group single is amazing Here's to 2021 and 2022 and breaking even more records.

Posted some end of year 2020 achievements on my Insta stories. Not as many as 2019 (what with the tour) but enjoy :D Spice Girls Net

Happy New Year! Here's to 2021 Let's hope we get a tour announcement at the end of the year

Hi Jay, I sent you a message on Instagram in regards to the SG streaming. I also wanted to ask you if you knew what the single version of TLC's No Scrubs stream count was. The 'No Scrubs' and 'Wannabe' album versions on Spotify were pretty neck and neck for most of the year and now Wannabe has a 3m+ lead over No Scrubs. Would be great to see if they've overtaken. I have a few end of 2020 posts coming tomorrow. Not many, but a few :)

Digital sales data estimates 9 sales. Better than nothing 😊
