Popular BBC Radio 1 personality Jack Saunders expressed disappointment when Victoria Beckham’s track “Not Such as Innocent Girl” failed to secure a spot on the Official Chart. The absence of the song on the chart followed a social media campaign fueled by the recent public dispute between Victoria and her son Brooklyn Beckham.
The campaign was initiated after Brooklyn’s controversial Instagram post, criticizing Victoria’s dance moves at his wedding with Nicola Peltz. Supporters of the campaign labeled it a “national tragedy” that the former Spice Girl had never achieved a solo number one hit.
A statement from the campaign emphasized the significance of sending Victoria to the top of the charts as a symbolic act of British culture, driven by the Instagram incident. Despite the track briefly topping the iTunes chart earlier in the week, it failed to make an impact on the Official Chart announced by Radio 1 DJ Jack during his show, dismissing its legitimacy.
In a playful manner, Jack downplayed the significance of the iTunes chart, emphasizing that only the Official Top 40 truly mattered. He asserted that Victoria’s absence from the top 40 rendered her chart position insignificant.
Brooklyn’s public remarks about his mother’s behavior at his wedding sparked social media ridicule, with speculations circulating about the nature of their dance. However, sources close to David and Victoria Beckham refuted any claims of impropriety or embarrassment related to her dancing.
