Mr. Wonder Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Which has been proven time and time again that the Spice Girls have that on lock. Ask around, look around the web, look at the record books When you Google "The Supremes" you get 2.4 million hits. When you Google "Spice Girls" you get 19 million hits. #ImJustSaying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please tell me (and this is the one I'm truly waiting on) how you can compare the LEGACY of The Spice Girls to that of The Supremes? I'll give you success and popularity (even though The Supremes still DOMINATE according to the figures YOU provided. )....actually no I won't, lol....Please tell how The Spices Girls popularity and success can be compared to that of The Supremes considering the time in which they (The Supremes) accomplished what they accomplished?

No one is questioning the impact of the influence that The Supremes had. We are discussing the popularity of each group at their peaks. And it's clear, based on the charts, that the Spice Goddesses were, and have always been, more popular than The Supremes. TOF can say that they sold 80 million records, but he has no substantial proof. There's proof of Victoria saying they've sold over 60 million records. I've seen reports of up to 75 million for the Spice Icons. Sales figures are negligible because of unreported sales of the 60s. But the charts do not lie. #1 in 20+ (or 30+ countries) trumps anything any other female group has done chart-wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThatOtherFan Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Nooooooooo! You challenged me saying I could argue that the Spice Legends are the most popular female group of all time. That's what the debate was about. Go back and read old man. Page 6, 7, and 8 are all proof that we were discussing POPULARITY. Anything else you brought up was irrelevant when discussing popularity. No...that is not how the conversation started. I introduced The Supremes into this thread as the TRUE biggest female act of all time. You downplayed not only The Supremes success but their influence in general which started the debate. From that point, I encompassed everything into my argument and you focused almost solely on figures. Again, with the figures you provided The Supremes still dominate, but when looking at everything in it's entirety it's even more clear that The Supremes reign supreme...do like that little play on words. GAME SHUTDOWN AND LOCKED SINCE THE 60's. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THAT'S what started the discussion between you and I. Perhaps you need to go back and read instead of continuously making yourself look foolish. You encompassing anything other than pretenses that support your argument on The Supremes being more popular was flat out irrelevant. Hence, why I stopped commenting on that other stuff you were bringing up. That wasn't the discussion. The discussion is about who is more popular, and it's obviously The Spice Legends.

HOw many years was it between the end of the Supremes to the first single dropped by En Vogue? regardless of figures the Spice Girls sold that many with only 3 albums...how many albums did the Supremes have out? oh look up online the amount the Spice Girls have sold as far as compairing the LEGACY of the Spice Girls to that of the Supremes...is that people still talk about the Spice Girls even now...hence this thread.

Mr. Wonder Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 15 to 50.. That's nearly the same age gap as the Spice Girls. So trying to use the argument of age is invalid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Wonder Posted May 17, 2011 Share Posted May 17, 2011 Is there something in your eye sis? http://www.pearlevision.com You said 10-15 year olds make the hits and sell albums.
