Release
The single was once again another number-one for the girls in the United Kingdom, becoming their ninth chart-topper in their home country, and also making the top ten in eleven different countries. However the single only peaked at number seven on the Bubbling Under Hot 100 Singles (essentially the equivalent of number one hundred and seven on the Billboard Hot 100), becoming their first single not to make the Billboard Hot 100.
"Holler" was the first single from the Spice Girls that did not receive a commercial CD single release within the U.S. With poor promotion (due to the girls promoting as a duo; ex: Mel B and Mel C covered Europe, while Victoria and Emma covered the Americas) and radio airplay. The song became the eleventh UK number-one single with Melanie Chisholm as a songwriter. She held this record until Madonna surpassed it in 2006 with "Sorry".

Famous quotes containing the word release:
“We read poetry because the poets, like ourselves, have been haunted by the inescapable tyranny of time and death; have suffered the pain of loss, and the more wearing, continuous pain of frustration and failure; and have had moods of unlooked-for release and peace. They have known and watched in themselves and others.”
—Elizabeth Drew (1887–1965)
“The near touch of death may be a release into life; if only it will break the egoistic will, and release that other flow.”
—D.H. (David Herbert)
“An inquiry about the attitude towards the release of so-called political prisoners. I should be very sorry to see the United States holding anyone in confinement on account of any opinion that that person might hold. It is a fundamental tenet of our institutions that people have a right to believe what they want to believe and hold such opinions as they want to hold without having to answer to anyone for their private opinion.”
—Calvin Coolidge (1872–1933)
