[edit] Chart performance

Geri released her third single on November 1, along with Emma Bunton's debut, "What I Am" (which was a collaboration with Tin Tin Out). When Geri discovered that her single was to be released on the same date as that of her former Spice colleague, she wanted to back out, but it was too close to the release date for her to pull out, and so, in true Geri style, she became determined for her single to reach number one over Emma's.^{[citation needed]} "Lift Me Up" reached number one in the UK charts on the 13th November 1999. On the first day of sales, Geri was ahead of Emma by only 200 copies, but due to a furious whirlwind of promotion on Geri's part, "Lift Me Up" wound up selling 139,000 copies in its first week ("What I Am"'s first week sales were 106,000 copies). Its total sales are 337,000 copies in the UK, the single enjoyed a 15 week run in the UK Top 100.
