Oh damn, you're absolutely right Jay! Wikipedia confused me with the release date!

Emma's Free Me album did extremely well selling over 33,000 in its first week. If it was released 2 weeks earlier it would have been number 1 😭

It was certified in 2001

Updated album sales from Music Week 3,102,398 Spice Girls - Spice 1,663,649 Spice Girls - Spiceworld 900,317 Melanie C - Northern Star 490,819 Geri Halliwell - Schizophonic 1,963 Mel B - L.A. State of Mind

Ultimately unable to add to the two No.1 albums she scored as a member of the Spice Girls – 1996 debut Spice, and 1997 follow-up Spice World – Melanie C(hisholm) nevertheless scores her ninth straight solo chart album, representing her entire studio output, debuting at No.3 (19,483 sales) with Sweat – the highest sale for that position for 35 weeks. That’s not just the highest chart position of the 52-year-old Liverpudlian’s solo career – surpassing the No.4 peak of her 1999 solo debut, Northern Star – but also the highest position of any solo album by any Spice Girl (Geri Halliwell’s 1999 solo debut Schizophonic and Emma Bunton’s 2001 solo debut, A Girl Like Me also reached No.4). The only member of The Spice Girls to have a sustained and regular solo career, Chisholm has now had as many Top 75 albums as the rest put together. Chisholm’s best first week sale remains the 30,866 copies that her second album, Reason, sold on debut at No.5 in 2003, but Northern Star has outsold the rest of her output together by a margin of more than four to one. Achieving triple platinum status earlier this year, it has to-date consumption of 900,317 units. That is more than any other solo album by a Spice Girl (Geri’s Schizophonic is second with 490,819 units) but less than Spice (3,102,398 units) and Spice World (1,663,649 units). Mel B’s L.A. State Of Mind is the back marker (1,963 sales).

Not in the top 100 either

Apparently it's not a mistake, it's because it's her ninth album

How did I miss that lol

BPI have released last week's certifications now

How do we see this list of the best selling singles Mr.X? Those physical sales do sound very accurate.

There are 3 albums that the Official Charts Company are refusing to certify. Three Cher albums: Gold and Icon should be Gold and The Very Best Of Cher should be Platinum. For some reason they won't send the sales to the BPI so they can be re-certified. I've seen the sales on the OCCs database which prove they are over it but they are ignoring every email I send them.

Wannabe has been certified as 4x Platinum in New Zealand (120,000) https://www.radioscope.co.nz/2024/00/00/single-cert-search/

It's not actually twitter it's that particular page that's gone down. Is there nothing that the OCC can get right?
