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

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?

Didn’t David do an interview today, plus all the little sad PR tactics prior to BB outburst.
It is a bit late to be opting out now the shit has fallen.
All the nonsense about NP refusing to wear the dress, VB could have defended it at any time. The Christmas videos released. I’m glad it backfired on them.

I prefer Out of Your Mind with Dane Bowers and True Steppers!

Oh yes the Dane Bowers one I remember - I’ve now got that stuck in my head. Cringey but strangely catchy 😂

Idontspeakgermansorry · 22/01/2026 16:01

It's very obviously to make fun of her. I don't know anyone doesn't see that.

PinkNeonSign · 22/01/2026 16:01

Happy to support VB, I love her and all
the Spice Girls. Yeah, she’s probably got some stuff wrong but she’s still his mam and she must be devastated. For all the celebrity, I never got the impression the kids didn’t know their parents and the other three and the extended family aren’t saying anything are they.

NotMeAtAll · 22/01/2026 15:59

Streaming now out of curiosity. I have the volume down very low. 😉

ImSweetEnough · 22/01/2026 15:56

@Uhghg it is not being done for that reason.

It is to show support for her. You don't have to search far to see that!

Show quote history

I think some people are doing it out of support but that wasn’t the initial reason.

This would be most people’s worst nightmare.

How can you possibly think this shows her support?
She’d be mortified and they only want to put out what they choose to put out.

Lopteluga · 22/01/2026 15:57

I’d love to help but I’d have to stream it and that would involve having to listen to it. I suppose I could leave the room.

yeriknow · 22/01/2026 15:52

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.

Show quote history

I completely agree.

There are people doing it because they dislike her and want to humiliate her.

And some because they like her and are trying to show their support by giving her money (although I still don’t understand how people think this is supporting her when she’d hate this).

I think it’s absolutely ridiculous and so unfair on the actual artists who have worked hard.
The world is ran by the media.

EmeraldShamrock000 · 22/01/2026 15:25

I don’t think so. The majority that I’ve come across are doing it to annoy BB by supporting VB.
Why would people who dislike her want to line her pockets with money??
Any comments on YouTube are in support of her reaching number 1.

British bloody-minded, piss taking at its’ finest. Never been more proud.

It’s not piss taking at its finest.

some people think they are taking the piss; some people think they are showing support.

Just completely mindless and pointless.

ImSweetEnough · 22/01/2026 14:53

Oh, really?

The people around me here are saying it's in support of her?

Yes everyone lets all help this multi millionaire make even more money and get to number one because her son isn't talking to her.

The British public are so malleable.

I thought artists made bugger all from streaming? And she didn't even write the song.

yeriknow · 22/01/2026 15:39

What a load of utter shit.

Leave these millionaires to their domestic.

No need for anybody else to get involved (or line their pockets).

People need to get a grip and focus on their own lives.

ColinOfficeTrolley · 22/01/2026 15:38

The multi millionaires who would advertise dog shit if it benefitted them? The multi millionaires where millions and millions is never enough? The multi millionaires who sold their kids lives to okay magazine? Nah, I won't be streaming.

@VictoriaFeckham Quality! Thanks 😂

I must admit This Groove has always been a bit of a guilty pleasure. And I do think the video for Let Your Head Go is funny.

I thought This Groove was so tragically bad it was good - especially the talking bits! The video with her writhing on the bed was cringeworthy too - I can't find it on YouTube, must have been taken down - wonder why😂

i’m also confused about whether this is being done to support or criticize her.

the message behind the song is essentially “im not at sweet as you think i am” which is basically what brooklyn was saying. choosing this song seems like a passive aggressive dig at her.

but the newspapers seem to think this is being done in support.

i don’t really get it!

It's a supportive thing. There are various female celebs posting it on their stories whilst also running stories or podcasts about how much of an ungrateful brat BB is and how they stand with VB. Kathryn Ryan is one such celeb.

I streamed the song in support; I like her. Thrilled she'd got to No.1

And all the "just giving them more money" outrage from some - who cares? It's not cost me a penny. Better Posh and Becks than fecking Jeff Bezos, Trump, Musk or Zuckerberg.

I think it's because it was her most successful solo single.

Ive been playing it all day on Spotify 😂 I think it’s funny that it’s gone to number 1
