Justice for Stop! The only other real global hit from the Spice Girls who never went to #01.
Justice for Holler
Shocked people felt the need to stream Headlines that much.Spice Girls Spotify streams for 2024. I know it's the most famous but it's crazy that Wannabe is THAT much higher than their other songs. Makes me feel like a lot of people just see them as a one hit wonder because they've done such a poor job of building upon their legacy.

Justice for Stop! The only other real global hit from the Spice Girls who never went to #01.
Or standing at the new releases rack, agonising over whether to spend your £2 on CD1 or CD2.I'll never get over the shock of checking Teletext (RIP) on a Sunday evening and seeing 'Stop' had entered at #2. I just assumed every single of theirs would hit the top spot in my delulu 10yr old head, plus 'Stop' just had #1 written all over it - happy go lucky, catchy and memorable dance moves. It probably didn't help that they were out of the country on tour during promotion, they had no proper management anymore, plus general growing fatigue from the public. After that I always doubted the remaining singles' chances of a surefire top spot (although I had faith Viva would be #1 for years on end with it being the best song ever made).
I remember the stress of the Viva Forever release date too, which was originally May (for Viva/Never Give Up) and then having to wait ages for a new release date through June, being 13th July when I gleefully rode the bus to my local HMV only to be told it had been pushed back again to the 20th.
I miss the time that things like this were the most stressful parts of life.
I absolutely love Stop but I'm surprised it's beating the likes of Spice Up Your Life and 2 Become 1.Spice Girls Spotify streams for 2024.

As of November 2020:Do we know what the latest sales figures are for each single? From memory the singles that have sold more than a million copies were Wannabe, Say You'll Be There and 2 Become 1, with Goodbye not far behind with just under 1m. Last time I checked Spice Up Your Life was nearing 900k, and Viva Forever and Mama/WDYTYA were pushing 800k
I think Stop's sales number has significantly due to streaming, with it being the 2nd most streamed song of theirs.
“Too Much” pulling less numbers than “Mama”, SMH. It’s their most underrated ballad.Spice Girls Spotify streams for 2024.

“Too Much” pulling less numbers than “Mama”, SMH. It’s their most underrated ballad.
Also that massive gap between “Who Do You Think You Are” and “Mama” made me guffaw.
I read this as Steps and thought it was the wrong thread. Kind of true even if Steps.I really feel that Stops iconic choreography is what resonated the song through and has kept it alive.
