NGUOTGT is on a decent sized playlist isn't it? Would love to know its UK sales now.

Because people usually stream for a set amount of time. I'm having a shower so will put X playlist, artist or song on. If you spend 15 minutes in the shower and songs are 5 minutes you listen to 3. If you have songs that are 3 minutes you listen ro 5. Because of streaming most chart hits these days come in under 3 minutes. Music is basically fast food now in consumption.

Amazing to think some of these classic album tracks did the same amount of streams all year as Christmas Wrapping did in 2 days.

Interesting of their more popular songs it is the more downtempo that aren't as popular.

Urghhhh Jay why do you have to hurt me and remind ne how bad their 'This Is' playlist is. Fairly big streams for Tell me why considering to most it is a random Forever album track. Just shows the power of being on This is playlist with IYWHSF as it is defo preferred by fans over Right back at ya. The Lady is a vamp is the weakest track from the first 2 albums so no surprise it isn't well streamed. We can see that Step to me and Christmas Wrapping have been relative successes for them this year streaming wise to make the top 25.

I feel pretty confident that the documentary will happen as it takes little to no involvement from the girls. As with others I think a tour looks more unlikely as time goes on. It gets close and then one just cant commit. I think they will probably do things as a band next year that are easy, coinmaster adverts show if the money is there they will do it and it doesn't take too much effort. I imagine the documentary will probably lead to an endorsement deal and we will get the 578,409,155th advert from them selling something. Solo I honestly don't care. I'll listen to a Mel C album if it comes but I'm not excited or waiting for it. Dreading Geri being an embarrassment on national TV promoting her book that will no doubt be slaughtered by reviews. Unless Emma does anything music related she can keep it. Mel B will do more low rent TV no doubt.

Hey have certainly had a big bump to streams over the holiday season. Still amazing to think Universal do pretty much nothing to take advantage of it.

Given I pretty much only stream now, bar the odd vinyl play, having things like How does it feel on streaming is always a big win for me. Feed your love I rate but it needs a radio edit to knock it down to 4 minutes. 5+ minute songs just aren't streaming friendly. Get down with me and Wasting my time I find so sonically similar. A good one, two punch on Forever but defo prefer them not one after the other to enjoy them more. Still mindblowing to think 26 years later and with lots of tours, GH, reunions, anniversary editions, we still only have 51 different songs from the girls and one is a megamix so actually 50!

I still to this day don't understand why it wasn't 'Party Hard' that would have made total sense then.

11.5m tomorrow hopefully. Fear it will start dropping Jan 6th.

I'd like Take me home to get more exposure but bar it somehow getting on a radom playlist sadly it wont. Defo one of those songs Universal could push and expose people to a song they have probably never heard.

Maybe at the end of this Jay you could make a Spotify playlist, just the 51 tracks (use the highest streamed version of those with multiple versions) would make a fun playlist. Does it include My strongest suit and How does it feel?

No surprises so far, 2 spoken word tracks, 2 live tracks (live songs generally don't stream well) and a 15 minute track when the average song is 2.30 minutes now to cater for a streaming audience. Look forward to seeing the sharper end. Christmas Wrapping barging into their top 10 maybe? Step to me should be fairly high too seen as it has now 3 versions.

Yasssss at Christmas wrapping now a NYE party classic lol. It might not leave their popular top 10 until Feb at this rate.

Classic singles by fanbase artist at say £7.99 a pop on 7 inch should be a no brainer.

Hopefully over 11m today or tomorrow.

We might already be over 6m had Universal put it on Best of and promoted it a bit.

Even VB wants the movie on Netflix

Impressed Christmas Wrapping is still doing over 30k on the 28th. Think it could managed that 6m before leaving their top 10.

More effort than Universal made

The sort of content Universal should be whacking on Youtube and itunes.

It is actually much better designed and looks much classier in person than Spice25 CD.

I feel like I've seen a video for it too.

Isn't Christmas Wrapping technically their 19th most streamed song as 2 versions of Viva Forever are ahead of it. Great to see it still do 120k+ on Boxing day.

I'm not one to agree with Geri but the best 'unreleased' song I've heard or heard parts of is 'we're gonna make it happen' every time I hear it it gets stuck in my head.
