The ultimate Official Spice Girls solo chart: all their singles ranked by sales

AMAZING.

It would be pitiful... Bar Cheryl only Kimberley has achieved a top 10 hit, none of the others have even gone top 20 with their singles...

That's not true. Melanie C had a #1 on the hot 100 dance chart with I turn to you and Melanie B had a #2 on the same chart with First day of my life. Emma also hit the top 10 on the dance chart with free me and maybe and Geri went to #12 with look at me. Albums wise Geri hit #42 on the billboard album chart with Schizo and Melanie C just missed out on the top 100 billboard at #108 with Northern Star.

he`s talking about the billboard hot 100... the dance chart means nothing!

That's not true. The dance chart means a lot! You just don't get it!

pffff You don´t get it! Dance chart means nothing, that´s why succesful artist on the dance chart barely sells albums and don´t have any recognition! and don´t even get recognition on the other charts! the thing is to get a number one on the official billboard hot 100! that´s what every artist aspire for!
Mel c is the perfect example for that, a number one hit on dance chart and then? NOTHING!

I agree about the Dance chart to be honest. However it did get I Turn To You a Grammy Award for best remix, so not quite nothing.

Yeah but she got a grammy for a "dance" song included on a album which was mostly pop-rock. A really underrated gem (northern star album) and she win what? more fame? more sales? no... she didn´t. Her sales in the US were poor didn´t even get to the 100.000 copies on a era of artist who sold 2 millions in it first day. As the simpsons said in one episode, a grammy worth nothing, almost everyone has one :S

Well the Spice Girls never got one...

that`s why i said "almost" and not everyone. And that make my point! mel c had a grammy... and what else? again her sales were poor in the us, she didn´t chart that awarded song on the billboard hot 100... and didn`t have much recognition. The spice girls never got one and still they are the best selling female band of all time! so a grammy means nothing.

Please....a number one on the pop chart means nothing to the vast majority of people. There is so much nonsense that hits number one on the Hot 100 that it has become irrelevant to most people. People enjoy what they enjoy. If you are into dance music a number one on that chart is significant, if you are into R&B a number one on that chart is significant. It's all about what resonates with the individual. Much of the biggest selling /most streamed/most played stuff on the Top 100 is scraping the bottom of the barrel. It is spoon fed and dumb downed. It is certainly no better quality than the tops of the other charts.

ohhh because number one dance songs are always great! (sarcasm) so hypocrite, first you say number one songs at billboard hot 100 means nothing to people but then "people enjoy what they enjoy"?? so if they make a song numer one at the billboard hot 100 its because they enjoy it! so that song MEANS to them. Recognize that you are wrong dude! period!
Besides let me tell you something, billboard hot 100 is not a pop chart! billboard pop chart is one thing and hot 100 another thing, the hot 100 is the one mixing all styles, that`s why you have a reggaeton song at number 1 today, a lot of country music charted, dance music, pop, all at the same chart!
And today dance music is in, but at the time mel c ranked her song dance music were not that famous. So at that time that number one song mean nothing, in fact we can talk about the sales of that album to realize that song didn´t give her so much credit as an artist and for sure it didn´t give her fame, she barely sold 90,000 copies. nothing at that time when artist used to debut albums with 2 millions sales at their first day.

Wrong bro, you belittle the dance chart top hits but champion the hot 100. Sigh. what I am saying is the dance chart is just as important to the people who enjoy that type of music as the top 100 is to a separate group of folks. your dismissive attitude is embarrassing. I absolutely agree there is a lot of on the dance chart, most of it I dislike, but to put down a chart simply because it is one genre and doesn't sell as much as the comprehensive chart is ignorant.

Also you clearly do not know what you are talking about when it comes to the history of album sales. It was never, and i repeat never, common for an album to debut on its first day with 2 million sales. Please educate me by providing a list of albums that debuted with 2 million sales on their first day. I'm really looking forward to seeing that list.

duhh of course, flop artist are also important to the people who listen to them... that doesn´t mean they`re succesful or that they matter in the music industry! i dont dismissive anything. Your denial attitude is really embarrassing! i hear mostrly indie music and they don´t sell so i don´t dismiss anything, im just talking about facts!
About the sales i meant the first week most people evaluate the sales for week, not for day, and there're a lot,
Adele 25 sold more than 3 millions albums it first week
nsync no string attached 2.3 millions
just to name a few, then there`re lots of artist with more than one million.... mel c sold how many? ohhh yeah 90.000 crappy copies since the realease to now (in the US). Sorry dude, is not my fault you`re on denial.
You`re an ignorant and i never said that if they don´t chart at billboard hot 100 the sales are low, but i do say that having a number one song at the top of the dance chart didn´t do anything for her , her fame or her sales... lets be honest, most people in the industry value the billboard hot 100, if you`re in denial thats on you!
not answering more of your denial comments.

Geri sold 500,000 copies with Schizophonic in the US, not bad at all! :)

lol. so you can't answer your ignorant comment on first day sales over 2MM. just an FYI very, and i repeat very few artists sell more than 2MM in their first week also. Study up, bro. you just sound foolish.

Ignorant comment? I said i mistaken day for a week, after all is really obvious because they take the first week always, not the first day! and i did answer the artists and there`re more! You said is not common, you`re ignorant, in the past 20 years lots of artist sold in their first week between 1 and 2 millions copies!
Study up? Im on my second college carreer, i don´t have time to "study up" stupid things that doesn´t do anything for me or my life. That`s foolish, i bet you`re so pathetic that you think you win something out of this and reality is on my side, she got a number one dance hit, won a grammy and still her album in the US was a epic fail. so... what`s your point? i did prove what i said, which is that having a grammy or a number one song at dance billdoard didn´t do anything for her! if you want to deny that check your facts and they will tell you im right!
And if you think you`re smart telling me ignorant check your fact again, because you sound really pathetic.
You can´t prove your "ignorant" comment right! because actually dance chart doesn´t matter at all. Sorry loser but your wrong ;) deal with it!

club/dance chart isnt important.. its made with dj choices + if it was important "ultra nate" could be a massive star

https://disqus.com/by/etin/ That's because Virgin Records America and Capitol Records really f**k it up and really didn't promote their solo singles at all.

Only Geri's and Melanie C's debut albums, and Emma's second album were released in the U.S. None of Melanie B's, and Victoria's albums were ever released in the U.S., although Melanie B's/G's fist two singles were promoted in the U.S.

None of their singles were ever released commercially, with one exception. Melanie C's "I Turn To You" was HUGE in New York City, possibly a No. 1 locally, however Virgin Records America refused to release a commercial single. They finally relented, however, by the time they release the single commercially, it had long peaked (obviously it didn't chart, not even on the Bubbling Under The Hot 100 chart).

https://disqus.com/by/marcelosaeitti/ You're right, the club charts (actual chart name: Hot Dance Music / Club Play chart with 50 positions, not the "hot 100 dance" chart) are sort of meaningless. "I Turn To You" would have definititely reached The Hot 100 if the commercial single would've been released in a timely manner, not months after the single had peaked (March 13, 2001 to be exact). Finally, the back cover of the single (which, like all U.S. singles, was sealed), listed tracks 1 and 3 as the Hex Hector Radio Mix; track 3 was really the Hex Hector Club Mix. Most fans wanted that full mix which was not included on the U.K. CD maxi single.

Wrong, not many albums sold 2MM within their first week either. In fact "very few" did. Please provide me a list of those albums and then tell me honestly that it was not "very few". So you claim "first day" now means "equals first week" and "two million" now means "1 and 2 million copies"? Very Trump-like. Nice job.

It is important. Ask the countless people who enjoy dance music. It may not sell like typical pop stuff but it is just as valued by many folks. Much of today's popular music stems from genres that were once underground or not well known/"popular". They were, however influential and important. It's not all about the sales.

I wasnt know that mel b/c's first 2 singles promoted in us.. some songs like "torn" were peaking in airplay chart.. what is peak of "I turn to you" ? and "goin' down? what about mel b singles? ... I wonder why virgin refused to promote them ?

I dont have to ask.. If you pay money to promoters your song can be no.1

well, on the hot 100 the thing also is just to make it on the chart. believe it or not, just even making the chart can be very hard let alone go in the top 10.

i gotta disagree with you on that...i myself have been following the hot 100 off and on since mj's 'black or white' was #1 in late 1991 and i gotta say, the hot 100 has always been a big deal over here. yes there have been rule changes and that have stayed put in the top 10 and #1 spot...but the hot 100's been around almost 60 yrs *next year will be the 60th anniversary* and i myself have seen tons of huge momentums and history making feats on the hot 100.

well, it's always been a sub-chart :). the hot 100 and the 200 albums charts have always been the 2 main charts to check out each week.
