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 steel decks rock with the lightning shock, and shake with the
great recoil,
And the sea grows red with the blood of the dead and reaches for his spoil—
But not till the foe has gone below or turns his prow and runs,
Shall the voice of peace bring sweet release to the men behind the
guns!”
—John Jerome Rooney (1866–1934)
“The shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise man sees in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws.”
—Walt Whitman (1819–1892)
