Emma Bunton - What Took You So Long

"What Took You So Long" was the second single from the then forthcoming album "A Girl Like Me". Like "What I Am", The song was heavily promoted and had a good, sexy video, thus increasing the chances of a good chart position. But, nobody expected that the song would stay at #1 for two weeks, beating off competition from big artists such as Janet Jackson - the song was the first of two solo Spice Girls singles to stay at the coveted #1 spot for more than one week. "What Took You So Long" sold 76,000 copies in its first week, and 250,400 copies altogether, gaining the song a Silver award. "What Took You So Long" was the 41st best seller of 2001.
