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

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.

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

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

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

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!

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.

Is that not the beauty of it

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

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.

Newyearnewmewoooop · 22/01/2026 18:09

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 😆

viques · 22/01/2026 18:12

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”

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.

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.

pouletvous · 22/01/2026 19:13

What a shit song

pouletvous · 22/01/2026 19:17

@mumofoneAloneandwell I'm blaming you for this. I had blocked that bloody monstrosity song from my mind until you brought it up the other day. Now we're going to get tortured by it with all the airplay it'll get if it makes number 1 😬.

Mind you I suspect Posh isn't that chuffed either. Something tells me this was a career stage she'd also like to forget 😂.

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 how epic

has the campaign worked? 👀👀

get dancing vick!!

Makemydaypunk · 22/01/2026 19:43

They should have picked “let your head go” it’s a much better song, the video is funny and the end shot particularly fitting!

God no she’d consider it support for her horrific parenting behaviour

JanuaryJasmine · 22/01/2026 20:45

MissSophiaGrace · 22/01/2026 14:01

Maybe I've lost my sense of humour but I don't find it hilarious. It's an awful song and I'm confused why the public would want to give her anymore money?

it's not you.

It's not hilarious, it's not 'British humour'. It's just ridiculous.

JanuaryJasmine · 22/01/2026 20:47

Tontostitis · 22/01/2026 14:10

Also the British have a very strong sense of fair and what Brooklyn and Nicola are doing is not fair. So we'll support Posh, even those that don't really like Posh and Becks can see what a nasty thing this is to do your parents/in laws.

I disagree entirely.

MsTanyaMcQuoid · 22/01/2026 20:51

That’s a no from me.
But I will jump online and order her foundation drops. They’re incredible! And I think that would probably make her happier anyway.

Bake · 23/01/2026 07:05

On the iTunes chart this morning she has two songs in the top 10 and another in the top 100. The Dane Bowers one is at number 7.

PineappleSunrise · 23/01/2026 08:49

Unclear messages for the win! All anyone can definitely say about any of this is that Brits love participating in celebrity gossip.

bathsmat · 23/01/2026 08:59

I reckon for someone so image obsessed she’s more embarrassed about this resurfacing vs the fallout!

At over £100!

It’s not cheap. But worth it. Her perfumes are even more expensive, but VB Portofino is the most gorgeous scent I’ve ever used.
I’ll support her in what she’s good at.

PinkPanther57 · 23/01/2026 09:36

How much money will it generate for her?
