Get Victoria Beckham to number 1

162 replies

Wintertime2025 · 21/01/2026 20:45

just saw a thread on this on Twitter. Apparently her song ‘not such an innocent girl’ has gone to number 12. She has never had a number 1 single. They had it positively for her albeit the title of the song seems unfortunate.

i have no idea what went down but I do love Britain's sense of humour

What a shit song

HopingForTheBest25 · 22/01/2026 19:12

I read it as positive, but in our typical British way we show affection and support by slightly taking the piss.

I think the feeling behind it is that BB publicly dissing his mum on insta wasn't cool - particularly when he's still reaping the benefits of all the things he's bitching about re his upbringing.

So have I. And like Lady Becks, I'm also tone-deaf. So if I record myself murdering singing a song and release it please could you lovely lot get me loadsa money to number one please.

I don't think the money she'll make from this will make any difference to her bank balance. Apparently a iTunes single download earns the artist $0.09. 100k downloads could get her to number 1 so that would be $9k. That wouldn't even buy a pair of shoes for her.

It’s Boaty McBoatface rewound.

happy smiles.

I think Victoria will be very proud, she has achieved something on her own ( with a bit of help ) and if she ever meets Nicola again she will be able to hold her head up high.

“You might have been nominated for a Razzy Nicola, but I have actually won a UK Number 1”

Cruz has been “liking” memes on social media of his mum dancing, this is all curated by their team. It will have been the beckham team that started the encouragement to get her to number 1! I think it’s hilarious 😆

I think she's probably had a sh:tty week and this might raise a smile.

And herein lies the problem.

Two camps of people doing the same thing for two completely different reasons, nobody knows which, and therefore it’s just all completely pointless.

Even if it wasn’t unclear what the purpose is….its still pointless.

VB doesn’t give a shit about any of the people doing this. She’s a millionaire and you’re just lining her pockets further.

Absolute nonsense.

My goodness I really wanted to give her the benefit of the doubt but that song is horrific

She can’t sing, so no way would I line her pocket!

soupyspoon · 22/01/2026 17:35

Im listening to the Katherine Ryan podcast where she talks about it, she is so right and so insightful.

Queenoftartts · 22/01/2026 17:13

I think it's more about the name of the song.🤣🤣🤣

Show quote history

Apparently the reason that song was chosen was down to her dancing in the video.

LlynTegid · 22/01/2026 17:30

Whilst I am definitely Team Parents and not Team Oldest Son on this, there are limits to the level of support for me, given my views on the solo work of the woman formerly known as Posh Spice.

Maia77 · 22/01/2026 17:28

No, thanks.

you mean abusing people and mocking them right.

Show quote history

Cruz used the song on one of his Instagram stories this morning. By your logic does that mean he's abusing her too? Or mocking her? Seems like he gets the joke to me.

I think it's hilarious. Love that people are showing her support

Why that one!? The one with Dane Bowers was so much better…

I think it's more about the name of the song.🤣🤣🤣

Tableforjoan · 22/01/2026 17:11

Probably from all the TikTok’s taking the piss with her song and the dance together as my fyp has been full of taking the piss with her own music.

But you can spin it either way.

Chattygirl123 · 22/01/2026 17:10

Dreadful song and video is worse!!

I’ve seen the complete opposite.

Shes embarrassed about the song and the Beckham’s are trying to keep out of the public eye right now.

They are being very careful about what they do and don’t do which is why people are trying to force their hand to resound.

The people trying to get her to number 1 are taking the piss and trying to humiliate her.

In what world would she want to be number 1 right now?

Show quote history

Total opposite on my feed everyone doing it for support.

ChapmanFarm · 22/01/2026 17:02

If she's sensible she'll donate the royalties to the Battersea Dogs Home for a further but if British defiance
