Yeah it is just how Emma has posed for the last about 10 years, she must prefer her side profile as she always normally gets side on for pics. Which is fine next to just one person as she will just side on towards them but in the middle of two people it means her turning her back on one. It is always amazing to see all 5 together.

The Spice girls have final say on anything 'new' being released, it needs an OK from them group or solo wise. Anything already released already had the ok. That is why VB is up on streaming but the vault stays firmly shut on unreleased music. Geri has stopped several attempts at cash ins on her solo material. Victoria owns LYHG/TG so they will never see the light of day.

It would have the music muted so no point.

14 hours and the video has over 40m views between David and Victoria's insta posts.

I'm torn over getting a pic or not. We know they have met up as 5 a few times since 2018 pic that we never saw a pic from. So to get one for Victoria's birthday would be a bit because she is the most important Spice feeling. But obviously I'd want to see it.

I caved and got a copy. I'm in London for the marathon and a record store was 15 minutes away. It was a proper indie store only saw the 1 copy of it that I got. I doubt anyone was queueing to go in there for Emma, I rocked up at 1pm.

Fortnight is decent but very The 1975 to my ears. Is their any backlash from Taylor's fanbase for 31 tracks? I'm old enough to remember the lashings Tori Amos fans gave her during her bloated albums period (which were only 18-24 tracks) for not being able to edit down to a great 14 track album instead of a lumpy 21 track one. I cant imagine 31 tracks doesn't have a load of duds scattered through it.

Did Victoria understand yesterday it was her 50th birthday not Vogue's 50th? Utterly odd set of insta posts

I think this was meant to be released this coming Friday but was moved forward a week to avoid the Taylor take over. That is why I think they are only shipping the cds as they are probably the only ones ready (and splitting bundle orders would cost them extra delivery). Also why the video is coming this Friday as the final edit was probably not ready this week. They must know it will be close though this week whether it is top 10 or not as they might as well have left the cds for next weeks chart and obviously the 59p itunes reduction. If it works out and it goes top 10 this week it will obviously soften the fall next week but seeing how they are sending out the CDs this week I think theh probably would have wanted it all this week if they could and made sure it was deffo top 10 and top 3 in the first look.

Bunton queen of selling vinyls whilst actually releasing no new music or well doing anything.

Do it this time Jay ffs

As I said I think this will be a fight for top 10 but the label are doing a great job so far so I'm sure they will pull out all the stops for a top 10 debut. The biggest problem is the song isn't very good. Perrie is coming across great, the promo is top notch just the song is just weak.

Are the physicals released this week?

I'm not sure top 10 is secured, Spotify numbers could easily slide through the week but I feel the label will push super hard if it is close.

5 weeks top 10 now though is very average especially for a big name. If a song has enough radio support and playlisting to make the top 10 then they tend to hang around for ages. [...] when a big name debuts big but slides down and is out the top 10 after 5 weeks then it is fair to say it might have underperformed as any song these days that truly becomes a hit will probably be in the top 10 for a couple of months at least.

Such an exciting time, new Emma album, Spice Girls stadium tour. They all felt big time again.

Early 2025? Might as well have said Feb 30th. If an album comes out it will end up being self funded or distribution only sort of deal.

I love a good ballad but I cant say any of GA are very good. I'll stand by you is fine but it is just a carbon copy of the original so a bit pointless. Their uptempos were their strong point. I mean compare Whole Lotta History to Viva Forever, Never Ever, Too Lost in you or Stronger and you see really it is just blah.

Well I think I'm a great addition to these discussions because I come from a neutral view point. I have/had no feelings on 'Whole Lotta History' before so was listening to it like a new song with no nostalgic feelings. It is pretty shit but then every GA ballad I've heard is so they are at least consistent.

I think it will make #10 but it will have absolutely everything thrown at it first week so will fall like a stone the weeks after.

Probably due to Goodbye's high placement on This Is Spice Girls playlist.

Emma's fans were complaining it was unfair only the UK and Ireland can stream it so she has removed it from them so we are all equal. Moden queen pushing equality *cries

The video is just what happens when a label slashes your budget. She can say it is artistic but really it is just cheap. Tbh for all the impact that it will have she might have well have saved the money and not bothered with a video but I think having one is more about saving face. An EP not an album and a single with no physical or video would scream this is not viable.

I cant recall ever hearing this back in the day but it is pretty bad. I guess it shows how loyal their fanbase was by then to get it top 10. Kimberly manages to talk out of tune the first couple of lines which is something #oooops

I'm sure they all have a running joke about Geri being the oldest. I even recall during the promo day in 2018 for the tour Geri called herself Grandma spice.
