She has no stage presence, it is like someone off the street has walked up to give it a go.

Hope it goes well for them. Not really a fan of their music or them but they handled Sarah's death with dignity and I'm sure she would have loved for the band to go on, just bittersweet she wont be part of it.

Was posted it made #188 on popjustice.

Christmas wrapping is already doing more streams daily than every song bar the singles minus LLLTW and Headlines. So is already their 12th most streamed song daily and will no doubt be above Holler and Goodbye in a few days.

I assume the limiting of formats for singles back in the day was as they were cheaper there was more chance of fans buying multiple copies and manipulating the charts. Which is basically what fans do now with the album chart. The OCC must have deliberately changed or are ignoring rules for albums now though as Tori Amos American Doll Posse album the deluxe version was not counted as it was deemed too good value for money with the extras it came with and thus not count towards her sales. Now albums come with all sorts of extras, signed cards and so on and are reduced to really cheap prices week of release too yet still count. I think the lack of logical consistency is what many chart nerds hate with the OCC.

Amazing that they only allow 3 formats for singles but let artists have as many as they like for albums. Why?

Will be even more annoying if this keeps on year after year as Mariah and Wham are likely to start breaking records like most weeks in the top 10.

The 'party mix' does fairly well on Spotify now. Though it will be the casuals sticking it on drunk on cheap wine. I guess that was who it was made for not us proper fans.

Why wont this chart on its own then not be combined with the original, as it is essentially a remix album which have always charted on their own? Though I'm sure the OCC will make it up as they go along.

What they need is a top notch remix of Wannabe by a big name producer for 2023.

Only 400k off breaking it then.

Up another 49k monthly listeners today. Spice Girls net can you remember what they peaked at earlier this year, I seem to have 12.6m in my head?

Brenda is alive is a shock to me!

Part of me does love how they (the label) have forced that remix to get attention and half decent streams when no one was looking for it.

Thing with All I Want For Christmas is Mariah has ruined it herself. When it was a bit of fun a few years ago people calling her the queen of Christmas and the song organically being big and played a lot at Christmas it felt ok. Mariah's constant promo of it though and her own self proclaimed Queen of Christmas stuff has taken the fun out of it and just made it a tacky thing to make money. I feel if she doesn't back off she will kill the song off like Noddy Holder did with Slade and popping up every Christmas like an unwanted sprout.

Spotify monthly listeners back over 12m. Think the Beckham documentary and Christmas Wrapping continuing to gain build are why. Today is usually a big day for Christmas songs so be interesting to see monthly listeners in tomorrow's update.

A documentary on Netflix celebrating 30 years would be the best time to get out unreleased tracks and release something worthwhile. They can use snippets of the tracks in the documentary or them recording/performing them. It could either be the GH re-released with a 2nd disc of unreleased stuff or a big say 6 disc thing with everything, the studio albums, bsides, remixes, unreleased stuff. Only the latter would make Spice25 and SW25 completely pointless so I think the GH 2nd disc might be better.

No it was No Love just a few days ago. Trust me I remember as it was awful.

I don't have it. I just happened to be browsing Spice Circle the moment it was uploaded about it with a clip. Then 10 minutes later the clip was deleted.

I heard a snippet of No love it is absolutely awful. I wouldn't call many Emma songs unlistenable but that was. Completely tuneless.

Cian Durcot's music seems the perfect fit for this.

The Spice Girls insta has now reached 1.5m followers. 500k followers in 7 months.

So we wont just get a snowglobe for xmas what else are you wanting or expecting with it? For me - Dream - Christmas Wrapping vinyl, side A Christmas Wrapping side B radio edit. A nice 7inch black vinyl with the cover looking like a wrapped present with the name tag reading 'Spice Girls' and Christmas Wrapping on it in handwriting with a kiss. They I think have a real chance to make the song a Christmas staple after last year. The radio edit would help airplay. A release date of say Dec 7th and they drop a lyric video for it the same day. Christmas cards, pack of 6, 5 individual ones, 1 group. A nice lush scarf, nothing too tacky, something wearable. Think we will get - Another Jumper, hopefully better than last year with a hoodie option this year too for it. A tshirt with a group shot on it. A Santa hat with Spice Girls written on it.

Louise has a nice mums following too I'm sure. She did those tv documentaries aimed at them. She is the sort my mum would say 'ah I like Louise'.

It is very Geri and Mel B sort of thing to say and said mostly as wishful thinking I would suggest. Most of the legacy acts that have released albums in the last few years have got those deals I'm sure more because they appeal to the middle aged mums too like Claire or Emma Bunton. I don't see Lisa as one of those.
