I am probably the only one but Forever is the album I play the most from them.
Not the only one, rest assured.
Every year on Spotify Unwrapped, it is always in my top ten most played.
Wasn’t ‘If You Wanna Have Some Fun’ being pushed as the third single?
I have definitely seen a few promo’s (a red cover with white writing) floating around eBay with an album, single and remix edit.

That’s a good song, like Unpretty. How that didn’t make the album and some songs that did is beyond me.
Yes, I believe it was until the album campaign was promptly ditched at the beginning of 2001. That is what frustrates me the most about Forever. Why even make the album and then just give up on it just months later?
The whole campaign was messy if I recall. Melanie C was coming off her big solo debut era and didn’t want to stop what she was doing to then jump into a Spice Girl campaign and Melanie B had only just released her debut album and again, felt I’ll timed. Add to the fact that the shift in market caused the girls popularity to wane, it was no wonder they wished to dump and run.
I believe the idea was to always get it out before Christmas and then move on, which is unfortunate as there we’re definitely a few more tracks that could have been pushed as singles.
The gag if Geri records an additional verse for Goodbye for the anniversary release (if any). That'd be the perfect bow out to the anniversaries, and it's not like she wasn't having a great time singing it every night on stage.
This gay fever dream is a dangerous thing for a gay to have but I have it.

Interesting to hear Mel C’s take, especially as she has openly said she wasn’t a fan/disliked ‘Voodoo’.
I wonder who chose it to be on the album and pushed for it, if any, or whether it was the record label who made the final choice.
She went into a bit more detail here:
Melanie C mentioned being outvoted regarding ‘Voodoo’ and that their is often a ‘majority rules’ especially as she feels as if she does not to tarnish the legacy of what they have already successfully released.
Based on Melanie C’s comments during the interview, I wonder if new unreleased songs must have all five agree and sign off on them in order for them to be released?

The Tower Records listings of the SW25 releases have been removed. We know it's being released on the 4th November and we know the formats, and it's not like the listings gave very much away so I'm not entirely sure what the point is of taking down listings for it that pop up. Maybe it's been cancelled lol.
They are teasing once more on the Facebook Fan HQ group and leaving comments on the Official Charts post about Step To Me...
I'm not sure that was always the plan. There were stories circulating a few months earlier that a tour was being planned for 2001.
Obviously Mel C had already checked out by the time the album was released, and after the initial (brief) round of promo didn't stop the album tanking, Victoria also decided she'd had enough. Putting out Mel B's solo album a month before Forever was just one of many horrible decisions in that particular campaign.
