Spice Girls pop group
This phenomenally successful girl group was formed in England in the mid-1990s when a group of housemates answered a newspaper ad. Victoria Adams, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, and Geraldine Halliwell signed with manager Simon Fuller in 1995, took on the Spice Girls name, and hit number one in the U.K. in 1996 with their single “Wannabe.” The song hit number one in the U.S. the following year, and their album Spice (1997) was the best-selling album of 1997 in the U.S. In 1997 they also released Spice World, their second album, and a movie of the same name (1998 U.S.). Other singles include “ Say You'll Be There” and “Goodbye.” Halliwell left the group in 1998. Victoria Adams (Posh Spice)
