Anyway, when it came time to release the international version of their self-titled debut the label decided they didn’t want to lead with ‘Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)’ – a hit across Europe already – but instead go with the equally parentheses-friendly, ‘If You Want It (To Be Good Girl)’. As previously explained, the Backstreet Boys’ release history in America is a little complicated, exasperated by the fact that they launched in Europe first and it took America longer to catch on. In that case it turned out quite well really.Īctually in this case it turned out pretty well too. Thankfully, at every step of the way, the Spice Girls held their ground and got what they wanted. THEN some OTHER bozo decided the video wasn’t good enough and that it needed to be re-shot for America. Then some other bozo decided to send it off to America to be turned into an awful R&B single. Back in 1996, some bozo at Virgin decided that ‘Wannabe’ wasn’t going to be the Spice Girls first single because it was too risky. For….reasons.The greatest myth about the music industry is the idea that record labels know best. The lack of Howie’s face is still amusing.in the back just flinging his shirt around.
