THROWBACK THURSDAY: SPICE GIRLS

I mean.....COME ON!! You know you loved Spice Girls. If you were anywhere between the age of 0 and 100 in the late 90s you probably knew all the words to Wannabe by heart....and didn't want to admit it. I happily, loudly admitted it in my best Cockney accent to anyone who would listen. The Spice Girls were put together by a producer in the beginning, but quickly and with plenty of girl power the five ladies took control of their career and their destiny to become the biggest selling girl group of all time. With the release of only three studio albums, Spice Girls have sold over 85 MILLION ALBUMS worldwide. That's insane! And considering they were smart enough to get a writing credit on their songs, these ladies, their kids and their grandkids will all be living quite comfortably. The Girls first 6 singles rocketed to the top of the UK chart and they had 9 #1 singles altogether, including three consecutive coveted Christmas #1's, with just two singles missing the top spot in the UK. WERQ! The ladies have all had various levels of success in solo careers, but very few acts will ever reach the popularity, however brief, of Spice Girls. Here are some of my (and probably your) favorite Spice Girl videos. Throwback Thursday just got spicy!!
