a "girl band" (they did not play instruments) from the United Kingdom that became popular in the mid-90's; their members were commonly called Scary, Sporty, Posh, Ginger & Baby; the Spice Girls' popularity died after Ginger quit and before their third CD dropped; responsible for that goofy movie "Spice World"
The Spice Girls invented the following "girl band" formula:
1) the only one who can actually sing (Scary);
2) the butch one (Sporty);
3) the sexy one (Ginger);
4) the "cute 'n' bubbly" one (Baby); and
5) the stuck-up one (Posh).

The biggest and quickest selling female group in entertainment history causing such hysteria since the Beatles (except that they're males).
Members: Emma Bunton (Baby), Melanie Brown (Scary), Victoria Beckham (Posh), Geri Halliwell (Ginger), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty).
After their first two LPs, Spice and Spiceworld (1996, 1997), the Girls had already sold more than 30,000,000 albums within two years.
In 1997/1998, they starred in their feature film Spiceworld, which cashed in at #1 in the UK box office, and #2 (behind Titanic) in the USA.
Geri left the group in 1998; participating in only two albums (Spice & Spiceworld).
During 1998, before, during and after Geri's departure, Scary, Baby, Posh and Sporty embarked on their Spice World Tour. The Girls set yet another world record in selling out NY's Madison Square Garden in under 12 minutes.
In 2000, the four remaining Spice's released FOREVER which sold 5,000,000+ copies.
Merchandising ranges from CDs, to dolls, to candy, to cameras, to yoyo's to stickers, to crayons to wallpaper. The list goes on and on.

Wow, I had no idea the first Spice Girls album sold over 22,000,000 copies, let alone their nine singles sold over 15,000,000 combined!
