Emma Bunton | We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight (2001)
20 January 2008 // 8:55 PM
"We're Not Gonna Sleep Tonight" was the fourth and last single to be released from Baby Spice Emma Bunton's debut solo album, "A Girl Like Me". Released on 10th December 2001, the week before the race for the Christmas #1, the single was ignored by the public. It wans't helped by the fact that during part of the major promotional period, Emma took a 2-week promotional trip to Australia - which meant that promotion in the UK for the song was disjointed, and so the song didn't have a positive impact on music buyers.
Even though the single was eventually well-promoted, the single only went to #20 in the UK singles charts, selling 13,000 copies in its first week, and just 35,000 copies altogether. The song only spent five weeks in the Top 75, but had a good Top 40 chart run, spending three weeks around the mid-thirties.
The single was, at the time, the lowest-charting Spice Girls-related single to date. Because of its failure, Emma became the second Spice Girl to be dropped from Virgin Records following Scary Spice Mel B's departure earlier in the year.
