Will Victoria Beckham get the last laugh after all? Posh Spice’s solo track shoots up the charts as social media campaign to get her to number one in ‘plot twist of the year’ gains momentum amid Brooklyn fallout

Victoria Beckham has scored her first solo number one hit amid a bitter dispute with her son Brooklyn.

Days after her eldest son published a scathing six-page statement declaring he would not be reconciling with his parents, Victoria had the last laugh when an extraordinary social media campaign gave one of her solo songs a huge chart boost.

Victoria’s 2001 single Not Such An Innocent Girl reached number one on the iTunes chart in Ireland and reached number two in the UK on Thursday morning.

The chart positions were driven by a social media campaign determined to ‘correct the national tragedy’ that ‘Victoria is the only Spice Girl without a No.1 solo’.

Nothing says ‘British Culture’ like collectively deciding to push Posh to the top of the charts because her son roasted her on Insta. Imagine both their faces,’ reads a viral post shared on Instagram by the likes of Katherine Ryan and Luisa Zissman.

Instagram account Our_dream_house writes: ‘I’ve seen more VB music promotions in the last 24 hours than in the last 20 years and I’m obsessed. Let’s give it the #1 spot for plot of the year.’

Victoria was the last member of the Spice Girls to go solo, but despite a massive promotional blitz in the early 2000s, she failed to match the solo success of her bandmates.

Not Such an Innocent Girl officially served as her debut solo single, but despite an unprecedented media campaign, she was beaten to the top by Kylie Minogue’s monster hit Can’t Get You Out of my Head.

Months earlier, Victoria’s team with producer duo True Steppers and former boy band alumnus Dane Bowers had also lost out in a major chart clash.

In fact, the track became the biggest first-week sales of a solo Spice Girl single, selling 180,584 copies in just a few days, but lost first place to Spiller and Sophie Ellis-Bextor’s Groovejet (If This Ain’t Love) after a much-publicised chart war.

Victoria, who soon turned to fashion design after her music failed, previously revealed that producers turned off her microphone while she was on stage with the Spice Girls.

The mum-of-four is said to be ‘devastated’ after taking the brunt of a nasty family conflict with her sons Brooklyn and Nicola.

Despite proudly declaring that he was once a ‘mama’s boy’, Brooklyn focused mainly on Lady Beckham in his lengthy statement and his sarcastic comments left him ‘on the floor in pieces’.

Victoria’s 2001 single Not Such An Innocent Girl peaked at number one on the Irish iTunes chart and was at number two in the UK on Thursday morning.

Their chart positions were helped by a social media campaign determined to ‘correct the national tragedy’ that ‘Victoria was the only Spice Girl without a No.1 solo’.

Brooklyn announced on Monday that he had cut all ties with his parents and ‘doesn’t want to make peace with my family’, adding: ‘I’m not being controlled, I’m standing up for myself for the first time in my life.’ he said.

Brooklyn and Nicola have been at the center of an acrimonious split in recent months that has seen them reject all major family celebrations, including her father Sir David’s landmark 50th birthday and his knighthood.

Victoria has yet to comment on Brooklyn’s statement, instead opting to send a happy birthday message to her Spice Girls bandmate Emma Bunton and compliment her youngest son Cruz’s burgeoning music career.

Tickets for Cruz’s live show at The Courtyard Theater on March 27 sold out within hours of them going on sale.

Following the news, he told his fans on social media: ‘England… Absolutely no words needed, thank you a million. Looks like I’ll have to add more programs?!?’

Cruz specifically included the Spice Girls’ song Who Do You Think You Are? to his story.

Proud mum Victoria shared the sale announcement, simply saying “wow”.

While Victoria has gone unnoticed since Brooklyn’s announcement, Sir David was left in hot water when he faced the media at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, yesterday.

When asked about the feud, he refused to answer direct questions but later spoke, somewhat ironically, about the dangers and virtues of children using social media.

In an interview on CNBC’s Squawk Box, she said that while she tries to “educate” her own children about the dangers of social media apps, she also tries to show them how they can work “for good.”

Not Such an Innocent Girl officially served as her debut solo single but was pushed to the top spot by Kylie Minogue despite an unprecedented media campaign.

“I’ve always talked about social media and the power of social media, for better or worse,” he said on stage.

The former Manchester United star said he could use his ‘platform’ and position as a Unicef ​​ambassador to ‘make people aware of what’s going on in the world for children’.

He added: ‘I tried to do the same with my children, to educate them.

‘They are making mistakes. Children are allowed to make mistakes. That’s how they learn.’

Meanwhile, fans begged Victoria to announce a Spice Girls reunion tour to distract from Brooklyn’s surprising attack.

Flooding social media with comments, the band speculated that Posh Spice reuniting with her former bandmates would be the perfect way to get away from the noise of her nuclear fallout with Brooklyn.

Victoria, who soon turned to fashion design after her music failed, previously revealed that producers turned off her microphone while she was on stage with the Spice Girls.

One posted on her old Twitter account, X: ‘I think it’s time to reunite with the Spice Girls. This may be the only way Victoria Beckham can get out of this situation.’

More fans of the 90s girl group shared the same sentiment: ‘Oh Victoria Beckham will definitely need to arrange THE SPICE GIRLS reunion now and go on tour to improve her image. Watch him bring back Posh Spice and the girls;

‘This is the perfect time for Queen Victoria to put this PR to good use and do the Spice Girls reunion tour’;

‘Victoria Beckham’s PR team can only do one thing to get people to stop talking about this Brooklyn mess. And this is the announcement of their Wembley Spice Girls show, which all five girls will attend. Sharp’;

‘There’s only one way the Beckham brand can cover up these Brooklyn revelations. They need great PR. ‘It’s time for Victoria to announce her acceptance of the Spice Girls reunion for their 30th anniversary’;

‘We need the Spice Girls announcement.. right now’; ‘Brooklyn Beckham could give us a full Spice Girls reunion’.

The Spice Girls last performed together at the London 2012 Olympic Games Closing Ceremony without fashion designer Victoria in 2019 as she wanted to focus on her family and work.
