If heatworld was the Spice Girls we’d be feeling pretty flipping embarrassed right now. The girls released their comeback single Headlines (Friendship Never Ends) on actual physical CD this week and let's just say it doesn’t look like the track is about to set the charts on fire. heatworld’s been examining the midweek sales charts, which usually give a very accurate indication of where a single will chart come the all important Top 40 countdown on Sunday. The Spices have ONLY JUST scraped into the Top 10, although they have moved up the chart from 23 (a position they reached previously on just downloads sales). Now far be it for heatworld to kick a dog when it’s down, but frankly not reaching Number One (Leona’s still there, followed by Take That) is a DISASTER, particularly as the track is also the official Children In Need song, which should in theory help boost sales. So, is the Spice Girls comeback over already, or is Headlines just a really crappy song?
