The British female quintet Spice Girls were the most famous musical act in
their country throughout the second half of the 1990s, starting with the
hit Wannabe (1996) and selling more than 20 million copies of the awful
albums Spice (1996) and Spiceworld (1997).
The Spice Girls were as silly as the Beatles, and as popular in the British tabloids, but never learned how to write a decent melody.
After four years of marriages, babies and divorces, they returned with
Forever (Virgin, 2000)
and the sophisticated, high-tech rhythm and blues of Holler.
Just like the Beatles,
the Spice Girls had already proved their worth with their side projects:
Melanie C's Northern Star (1999) and Melanie B's Hot (2000) are as dull as Paul McCartney's solo albums.
