In the late '90s, few musicians captured the public's attention like the Spice Girls. The bubblegum pop girl group dominated the charts with their painfully catchy songs and well-defined personas within the squad. Possibly a response to the grunge rock movement of the earlier part of the decade, their sound and image harkened back to the female sensations of the '80s like Tiffany and Debbie Gibson, reminding listeners it's okay to have fun, playful music.
The Spice Girls dominated the music market so strongly with their Girl Power, they even transitioned to starring in their own movie, Spice World. At the height of their success, Geri Halliwell departed from the group, two members became pregnant, and their global domination had to be put on hiatus.
Ten years after their split, the group reunited for a series of performances, bringing all five original members together. In the ten years since their reunion, the group has found time to sporadically put all of their newfound lives and careers on hold for performances and public appearances.
Check out what the girl group is up to now and let us know your favorite of their songs in the comments!
