The Spice Girls were a British pop girl group formed in 1994, comprised of Melanie Brown ("Mel B" or Scary Spice), Melanie Chisholm ("Mel C" or Sporty Spice), Emma Bunton ("Baby Spice"), Geri Halliwell ("Ginger Spice"), and Victoria Beckham ("Posh Spice"). They achieved global fame in the late 1990s with their catchy pop songs, empowering "Girl Power" message, and distinct personalities, becoming one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. Their debut single "Wannabe" launched them into international stardom, and they released three studio albums before going on hiatus in 2000, later reuniting for tours and performances.
