Spice Girls

[savanna]

The Spice Girls were a British pop girl group formed in 1994. The group comprised Victoria Beckham (née Adams), Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie Chisholm, and Geri Halliwell. They were signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single, "Wannabe" in 1996, which hit number-one in more than 30 countries and helped establish the group as a "global phenomenon". Credited for being the pioneers that paved the way for the commercial breakthrough of teen pop in the late 1990s, their debut album, Spice, sold more than 28 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album by a female group in music history. They have sold over 75 million records worldwide, making them the biggest selling female group in history. Measures of their success include international record sales, a 2007–2008 reunion tour, merchandising, record-breaking achievements, iconic symbolism such as Geri Halliwell's Union Jack dress, representing "Girl Power", a box-office film, Spice World, and their internationally recognised nicknames. The group became one of the most successful marketing engines ever, with their global grosses estimated at $500–800 million between 1996 and 1998, and the group earned up to $75 million per year. On 31 May 1998, Halliwell unexpectedly left the group in the middle of numerous rumours. The four remaining members released their third album Forever, in November 2000. On 28 June 2007, all five reformed before the launch of their Reunion Tour in December, alongside the release of their Greatest Hits album. In December, a new documentary Giving You Everything aired on television. The tour is estimated to have grossed US$100 million.

What an amazing bunch of women. Thank you for this great post! When they were at their height, all I knew about astrology was Sun signs lol. Now look at their stats. lol. But...why do we care so much about celebrities' AC, isn't it the MC we see?

AH! Do you know how big of a fan of them I am! LOL <3

Yes they are amazing ladies. This was the major group of diversity, full of diverse personalities and styles. It's interesting to read their charts.

I find it ironic that most of them lack Earth. XD

Geri, the group's de facto leader, who left the group in 1998, is a spotlight-loving Leo.

Mel B, the "loud" one, is a moody Gemini.

Melanie C, the most disciplined member of the group, is an ambitious Capricorn.

Emma, the lovable youngest member, is a friendly Aquarius.

Victoria, the serious one turned Mrs. David Beckham turned fashion mogul, is a passionate Aries.
