Subject: Spice Girls - STOP TO THE TOP Campaign

Written By: SportySpice on 07/02/07 at 6:45 pm

Stop to the Top
Please help the campaign to get the Spice Girls to number one in the UK charts eleven years after Wannabe was released. From now (Monday 2nd July 2007) until Saturday July 7th, we are asking all of you to download the the Spice Girls track 'Stop' - so get downloading now!

http://a420.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/23/l_e34436fbd1bb692a7cdf1825ba11bc13.gif

Why Choose Stop?
The reason that we have picked the Spice Girls single 'Stop' is because this was the only Spice Girl song not to get to number one in the charts.

There has been many rumours of a Spice Girls reunion and on the 28th June the girls announced that they were coming back to do a final goodbye. The girls will be touring the world throughout December 2007 and January 2008.

Downloading Stop
Download the song now from a download site where it is eligble to count towards the UK singles chart.

At £200 a ticket for the concert, money does have something to do with it.

I don't see anything wrong with it. Its nostalgia, and they had a ton of fans back then. Better to do it now while they are still young instead of waiting years down the road when it would be more of a joke.

..but some of us are not young now or when the Spice Girls were around the first time.

Well, I'm not that young either. I was in my 20's when they hit the scene, and while I did like some of those songs, I wasn't on the rooftop shouting for a reunion. ;D

Everyone knew a reunion was inevitable. I'm actually surprised it didn't happen a couple years ago. Only question is: How long does it last? Is it just a quick "cash grab" tour, or are they really gonna take a stab at megastardom again?

Will it last the duration of one song on stage?

Yeah, that kind of throw me for a loop too.  Wonder if David Beckem is REALLY O.K. with his wife going on tour.  It has been him in the spotlight for quite a few years.

Emma is my favourite.  Her solo work was great!

Their reunion is for a Greatest Hits package that will feature new songs.  I wonder if it will go beyond that for more albums to fill a Greatest Hits - Volume 2 many years from now ?

This is everywhere now, and they are really risking a backlash because this is now being forced on people. They aren't allowing a decent buzz to build and gauge the public's reaction based on that.

I was considering downloading this and contributing to getting the song to number one on the charts(even though I think trying to get an old Spice Girls song on the charts is a pretty lame promotional tactic), but after seeing this crap everywhere when its obviously all fabricated, I have decided not to download it.

It isn't a new song. Thats what adds to the lameness of this whole thing. They're trying to to get an old single that didn't go to the top of the charts at number one. They want everyone to download it at specific sites so it will count towards the charts.
