Spice Girls

The Spice Girls were a British pop girl group formed in 1994. The group consisted of Victoria Beckham (née Adams), Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm and Geri Halliwell. They were signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single, “Wannabe” in 1996, which hit number-one in more than 30 countries and helped establish the group as a “global phenomenon”. Credited for being the pioneers that paved the way for the commercial breakthrough of teen pop in the late 1990s, their debut album, Spice, sold more than 23 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album by a female group in music history. They have sold over 75 million records worldwide, making them the best-selling female group of all time. Measures of their success include international record sales, a 2007–2008 reunion tour, merchandising, record-breaking achievements, iconic symbolism such as Geri Halliwell’s Union Jack dress, representing “Girl Power,” a box-office film, Spice World, and their internationally recognised nicknames.

   Oh yeah, I remember when Spice Girls were all the rage. I still have their old CDs somewhere. I also had the On Tour dolls (with the exception of Scary Spice), which came with little versions of the same doll. I never did care for the movie though. It was pretty stupid to me, but hey, it was 1996 and it was the Spice Girls. Girl Power!

   I still listen to their songs I look back now and wish that instead of doing Thriller I should have done a Spice Girls skit in Great Pretenders.

   I remember several of the girls in my school were Spice Girls fans. I was never allowed to listen to their music, though.
