Spice Girls are an all-girl group that dominated the international pop charts in the ‘90s. After they dropped their debut album Spice in 1996, they became a global pop phenomenon, often compared to the Beatles. The group was made up of five members:
- Mel B – Scary Spice,
- Mel C – Sporty Spice,
- Victoria – Posh Spice,
- Emma – Baby Spice,
- Geri – Ginger Spice.

The group formed in 1994 after Heart Management put an ad in The Stage magazine that read:

R.U. 18-23 with the ability to sing/dance. R.U. streetwise, outgoing, ambitious and dedicated?

The entire group attended the audition after reading the ad, except Geri and Emma (Emma replaced a short-lived member – Michelle Stephenson – fired from the group, and Geri missed the first audition). The band released their first single “Wannabe” in 1996 and they quickly became a global phenomenon.

The group disintegrated by the end of the decade after releasing their third and final album Forever, which was received with lukewarm reviews. Though they have reunited for multiple tours.
