There were charts I posted somewhere in this thread. The illegal downloads didn't enter the market until mid 2000s, it started to effect the sales significantly from 04 or 05. Acts in the early 2000s still sold millions some even bigger than the 90s such as Linkin Park, Eminem, Norah Jones, Usher even Westlife or Madonna. Not sure who dominated the UK market during that time though.

That's why I said time reflects the real impact not sales or views/plays. So for that reason, you can't say the same to any act pre-stream era. There were a lot of hits in the nineties but already forgotten today, no one cares. Spice was not one of those since it has proved many times that millions still remember and ready to jam even 20+ years later. Out of curiosity, their #1 hits were huge as the SG's?

That's not true. I, myself, bought tons of cassettes when I was a teen. Some never been played because you know that's what teens do we bought and left them there. Only very few that been played till you had to buy the new ones. You listened, learned the lyrics and dance routines. You remember all the members and care about them. You played and watched time and time again, these things happened all over the world for the spice girls. Sales and the hits don't reflect how deep the artist had impacted on you, time do. I find it strange that many Brits always compare the Spice Girls to their other girl groups, no other uk girl group could come near to their level. I did love Sugababes by the way (couldn't care less about Girl Aloud sorry) but any other girl group who came after the spice girls didn't hit you hard like them. Just wait and see those reunion concert scales, PCD as well.

The system is so unfair to the older fans lol, who would have the time and energy to stream all the time. And I bet spice fans had played spice contents billions of times alltogether during their heyday after we bought them, it's just there was no technology to count those back in the day.

I'll take anything but yeah all 4 on vinyls and limited edition cassettes would be nice.

Kpop factories do that all the time, the fans won't mind but it doesn't look good for outsiders. The girls are already legends, they don't need that. If they want to milk please at least create new tactics please.

That Denying video is brilliant but the fact that Spice fans need to create stuff to feed themselves due to lack of new content from the girls is kind of sad. The way they treat their fans though smh.

lol true, it's fair then.

Isn't it a common knowledge that money and fame always come first for the Beckhams? A lot of wealthy people are like that actually. She can afford to but she didn't want to and her VB brand hasn't been profitable for years it's understandable for me why she did what she did. The business should be able to run itself to be considered successful and VB brand is not. It's just something normal in the real selfish business world that money is always the priority for them. But Victoria is right, why only her is being slammed for this?

She did good indeed. That was better than High Heels on Graham and it's not even a proper performance.

Right? Feels like the early 2000s wasn't that long ago.

I still have the cassette lol 19 years already, oh dear.

Call me delusional but I'll always be hopeful. -------------------------------------- Mod Edit (12/05/2020) - I've decided to close this topic, due to the creation of this new topic - http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=234032 - continue the discussion here! - Jay

Total record I mean, she played 9 Wembleys iirc, the most of all time by female artist.

As a five piece, they would break Madonna's Wembley record.

When was the last time the 20+ year old acts like her made it in the single chart though? Like top 5-10 something like that.

It's what she deserves. Can't wait for the performances.

I remember seeing them for the first time on my TV in that Wannabe video and couldn't stop staring at them. It's the same feelings when they appeared at the Olympics, once again they captured the world. Imagine being at your peak for just barely two years as a full five and could still play stadiums 23 years later, it's already hard enough for younger female artists to do it no matter how huge you are. The Spice Girls were in their 40s doing it lol Which solo singles could have been group singles? - http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?s...t&p=6501018 Bag It Up :cheer:

The buyers paid for the shipping cost it's not like the old day that they shipped to every store worldwide. No one buys physical anymore and they had done zero marketing for her outside the UK I found out during the spiceworld tour that she released the album.

Corona causes this.

Thank you for this. :wub:

Don't be like this Buzzjack. Deep down you all know Viva Forever is a magical masterpiece, their greatest song.

Leave Viva Forever alone. :cry:

Coronavirus emerged in Nov-Dec 2019, Spiceworld tour was in May-June 2019.
