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:
“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)
“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)
“If I were to be taken hostage, I would not plead for release nor would I want my government to be blackmailed. I think certain government officials, industrialists and celebrated persons should make it clear they are prepared to be sacrificed if taken hostage. If that were done, what gain would there be for terrorists in taking hostages?”
—Margaret Mead (1901–1978)
