Plot twist! Victoria Beckham sails to Number 1 in the UK charts after campaign against Brooklyn’s ‘roasting’

'It's a national emergency'

| Updated:

Victoria Beckham has landed her first Number 1 in the UK charts in decades amid her drama with Brooklyn.

The star’s showbiz supporters have rallied round to help Not Such an Innocent Girl make a massive reprieve.

Victoria, 51, released the solo song in 2001 and it debuted at Number 6.

But fans were determined to see Posh Spice get her first ever solo Number 1 in the wake of Brooklyn’s harsh comments about her this week.

Victoria Beckham campaign for Number 1

In a six-page Instagram rant, Brooklyn claimed she “cancelled” making his wife Nicola’s wedding dress “at the 11th hour”.

He also accused her of “highjacking” his first wedding dance, alleging Victoria instead “danced inappropriately” on him at his nuptials in April 2022.

Victoria, who has not responded to Brooklyn’s claims or ED!’s request for comment, quickly became the butt of memes on the internet.

And fans and showbiz pals have had enough.

Victoria was at the centre of a viral campaign to get her to Number 1.

It was described as a “national emergency” by the unnamed organiser and celebrities have been sharing the message to whip up support.

The campaign states: “The fact that Victoria is the only Spice Girl without a #1 is a nation tragedy we are finally fixing.

“Nothing says British Culture like collectively deciding to send Posh to the top of the charts because her son roasted her on Insta.

“Imagine both their faces.

“I’ve seen more VB music promo in the last 24 hours than in the last 20 years and I’m obsessed.

“Let’s get her a #1 for the plot twist of the year. Download Not Such an Innocent Girl.

“We are unhinged. Stream Posh. It’s a national emergency.”

Victoria lands UK Number 1

Incredibly, Not Such an Innocent Girl is now Number 1 in the UK iTunes chart.

UK Chart Stats confirmed on X: “Victoria Beckham’s ‘Not Such An Innocent Girl’ has reached #1 on the UK iTunes chart.

“The song peaked at #6 on the UK Singles Chart in September 2001.”

Former Apprentice star and TV personality Luisa Zissman had shared the campaign on Instagram.

The mum-of-two wrote alongside it: “There is something wonderful about being British she’s currently number 2!

“Yassss VB @victoriabeckham you were always my fav spice girl and I stand with you & your inappropriate dancing.”

Celebs Go Dating host Anna Williamson, who has two kids, added: “All us 90’s Spice mums are coming out!”

Fellow mums on the forum Mumsnet were also rallying behind Victoria and her ‘mother-of-the-groom dancing’.

One wrote: “I think it’s hilarious. Can’t imagine she’d find it embarrassing. I really like her so good to luck to her.

“Listened to it yesterday, it was wonderfully nostalgic- most music was crap in that period of time.”

Another added: “It’s exactly this. It’s not pity. I think it’s great what the British can up with in a time of crisis!”
