Link16 Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) The Girls Aloud discography is totally forgotten in the streaming platforms The biggest streaming songs on Spotify are 42 M 34 M Some of her peers have multiple 100 M and 50 M songs, Sugababes, Atomic Kitten and The Saturdays. They have an amazing 21 top ten hits in the UK, but they most good songs like "Call The Shots" or "Biology" are totally forgotten, the GA discography deserved better recognition?

Goofy Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 I mean....they were completely local to the UK & Ireland, no? Those are expected numbers for such acts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goofy Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Just now, Link16 said: they promoted their music in Australia, Asia and parts of Europe exactly, "promoted" but the success outside of the UK/Ireland was minimal and down to their debut single only.

Gwendolyn Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Biology has 8 million streams on Spotify and Call the Shots has 12 million streams - that is amazing numbers for a girl group who made 'no noise' outside UK and Ireland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These numbers aren't bad. They definitely deserved more success internationally though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BGXKB Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 They literally never even released outside the UK and Ireland at all until maybe 2012? And then it was just dropped on iTunes and Spotify one day with probably no announcement even. but yeah I really think that they’re the real deal and deserve a lot more credibility than most bands. I think they’re particularly distinguished by the number of women who worked on their music, much more true to their name than a lot of these other “girl groups.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not a fan of them unfortunately, something about their music just doesn't click with me at all. Believe me I tried but nope...nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angels Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 Yeah they were incredibly local so these are good numbers for a group that peaked years before the streaming era?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m sure the men who produce their music really know what women are listening to. Just say you don’t like them for whatever reason while you probably listen to Spice Girls, LM, 5H, or somebody, literally the absolute WORST and most overrated girl groups ever.

Zack Posted April 16, 2022 Share Posted April 16, 2022 A lot of their songs are quite unconventional and have aged terribly, so it's not too surprising. They have a few occasional bops though. They were big at the time, though most "big" UK acts of the 2000s/2010s tended to do some kind of promotion across Europe, so that doesn't mean much. They were still local really. To be honest, it was surprising they lasted as long as they did, particularly as most of it was built on their media personalities rather than the music/talent itself.

I never stanned any of these girl groups except Destiny's child so dont really care, but GA songs were just especially cheesy to me. Cheryl had better songs as a solo artist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
