Get Victoria Beckham to number 1

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

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.

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.

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?

Netcurtainnelly · 22/01/2026 15:55

No way. Load of crap.

@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!

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.

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.

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.

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.

NotMeAtAll · 22/01/2026 15:59

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

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.

Idontspeakgermansorry · 22/01/2026 16:01

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

Spookyspaghetti · 22/01/2026 14:27

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 😂

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.

Did anyone get Mel c straight after? The nostalgia!!!

It was the original idea. It is to show support.

'An Instagram campaign was launched by an account named Ourdreamhouse writes. On the social media site, they wrote: "I've seen more VB music promo in the last 24 hours than in the last 20 years and I am obsessed. Let's get her that #1 for the plot twist of the year.
"Download "Not Such An Innocent Girl". We are unhinged. Stream Posh. It's a national emergency".'

GottaKeepItClassy · 22/01/2026 16:16

Cruz appears to be throwing his support behind the campaign to make his mum No.1.

No, it's really not.

YesSirICanNameChange · 22/01/2026 16:20

What's the message here?

"Behave in a way that makes your child take the painful step of cutting contact with you and we'll give you more money"?

ImSweetEnough · 22/01/2026 16:20

Idontspeakgermansorry · 22/01/2026 16:17

No, it's really not.

Have you got a link to prove that, then?

GottaKeepItClassy · 22/01/2026 16:21

Well, she now tops the streaming charts ahead of the likes of Taylor Swift, Bruno Mars, Olivia Dean and Raye. Seems like a win to me. 🤷‍♀️

Gotitgotit · 22/01/2026 16:25

Pretty sure that VB and BB could not give a shit about this . They have enough going on at the moment.

God well that's going to be extra embarrassment to add to her week

I’m trying to laugh more as apparently it’s healthy for you. Watched Comedy at the Apollo for thirty mins and nothing… Now I’m laughing because of your post! Thank you (I haven’t completely lost my sense of humour after all)

Idontspeakgermansorry · 22/01/2026 16:26

No, I'm just not thick. Your link doesn't prove anything other than lots of people fell for it.

Rubbish, her son Cruz has used the song on one of his posts. It’s all in support of Victoria.

Boomer55 · 22/01/2026 16:28

It really is a crap song. 🙄
