Spice Girls – Who Do You Think You Are
‘Who Do You Think You Are’ cemented the Spice Girls as a cultural phenomenon thanks to a memorable Brit Awards performance.
Spice Girls – 2 Become 1
The Spice Girls being Christmas #1 in 1996 was a given, but there’s a reason why ‘2 Become 1’ is their biggest-selling, best-known ballad.
Melanie C – Goin’ Down
With a radical overhaul of her image and sound, Melanie C rejected convention in every way as she launched her solo career proper.
Spice Girls – Stop
‘Stop’ is still broadly defined by being the first Spice Girls song not to reach #1, but there’s so much more to it than that.
Spice Girls – Too Much
With sponsorship deals galore, plus a movie and video game in the pipeline, there was no stopping the Spice Girls as they claimed a second Christmas #1
Melanie C – Northern Star
In stark contrast to Melanie C’s debut single, ‘Northern Star’ – the title track of her album – was a beautiful, introspective ballad.
Spice Girls – Wannabe
In just under three minutes, the Spice Girls changed the face of pop music forever with their debut single.
Emma Bunton – Free Me
Emma Bunton’s ‘60s-inspired reinvention with ‘Free Me’ proved to be a stroke of genius as she launched her second album campaign.
Spice Girls – Mama
‘Mama’ is rarely cited as a top Spice Girls track, but that doesn’t stop it being a genuinely lovely (and well-timed) tribute.
Emma Bunton – We’re Not Gonna Sleep Tonight
‘We’re Not Gonna Sleep Tonight’ was remixed into a Latin-tinged uptempo. But did this girl power anthem sound a bit too familiar?
Melanie B – I Want You Back (Feat. Missy ‘Misdemeanor’ Elliott)
‘I Want You Back’ was a watershed moment for the Spice Girls as Melanie B became the first to break rank and release a solo single.
Emma Bunton – Crickets Sing For Anamaria
Just when it looked like Emma Bunton couldn’t put a foot wrong with her second album, along came an unexpectedly divisive fourth single.
Spice Girls – Goodbye
The Spice Girls’ ‘Goodbye’ was a tribute not just to the end of a friendship, but the end of the group as we knew it.
Spice Girls – Holler
Somewhere within the contentious ‘Forever’ project lies a very good song in ‘Holler’. If you can disassociate it from the Spice Girls…
Spice Girls – Step To Me
The summer of 1997 saw Spice Girls fans eagerly guzzling 6½ litres of Pepsi to obtain the exclusive promotional single ‘Step To Me’.
Geri Halliwell – Look At Me
‘Look At Me’ saw Geri Halliwell face her demons head-on as she launched her solo career a year after leaving the Spice Girls.
Spice Girls – Let Love Lead The Way
‘Let Love Lead The Way’ is a worthy addition to the Spice Girls’ catalogue, albeit one perhaps best enjoyed out of context.
Spice Girls – Spice Up Your Life
‘Spice Up Your Life’ saw the Spice Girls launch their second album with another signature hit, while this time stamping their trademark all over it.
Victoria Beckham – Not Such An Innocent Girl
‘Not Such An Innocent Girl’ is a brilliant effort, albeit one that wouldn’t be judged by the same standards as most other pop songs.
