ABOUT THE SPICE GIRLS
The Spice Girls are an all-female British music group. The band members are Melanie Brown, known as Mel B, Melanie Chisholm, known as Sporty Spice Mel C, Baby Spice Emma Bunton, Ginger Spice Geri Halliwell and Posh Spice Victoria Beckham (Adams). The group was given their nicknames by "Top of the Pops" magazine in 1996 and these nicknames were accepted by both the press and the group. With the slogan "Girl Power", the band became one of the pop culture icons of the 90s. The band played a role in the re-emergence of the young pop culture of the 90s and was described as the second British invasion of the American continent in the 90s. Time magazine described the band as Britain's most recognizable face.
The band released their first single "Wannabe" in 1996 on Virgin Records. The single was number one in 37 countries and became the architect of the band's international success. Their debut album Spice (1996) sold more than 23 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling album by a female group in history.
The success of the Spice Girls can be attributed to their ability to market a wide range of merchandise, from T-shirts to dolls of the band members, Geri Halliwell's iconic dress with the UK flag, the movie Spice World (1997) and their reunion tours in 2007-2008 and 2019. Under Simon Fuller's patronage and management, the band itself has accepted to be marketed as a product and has been constantly featured in the British and international press. The group became one of the most successful marketing products of its time.
