# Spice Girls discography

The Spice Girls, an English girl group, have released three studio albums, one compilation album, 11 singles and 18 music videos. Formed in 1994, the group was made up of singers Geri Halliwell ("Ginger Spice"), Emma Bunton ("Baby Spice"), Melanie Brown ("Scary Spice"), Melanie Chisholm ("Sporty Spice") and Victoria Beckham ("Posh Spice").
The Spice Girls' debut single, "Wannabe", was released by Virgin Records in the United Kingdom in July 1996. It went to number one in 37 countries worldwide and became the biggest-selling debut single of all time. In the UK it stayed at the top of the UK Singles Chart for seven weeks and went on to sell over six million copies worldwide. It subsequently topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States for four weeks in February 1997. Follow-up singles "Say You'll Be There" and "2 Become 1" also went to number one in the UK, the latter becoming the first of three consecutive Christmas #1's. Both songs also reached the top five in the US and across most of Europe. The group's debut album, Spice, was released in the UK in November 1996. It saw success globally, selling two million copies worldwide in its first week, and a total of 10 million copies worldwide in the next seven months. Since its release, Spice has sold 23 million copies worldwide and was certified ten times platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in the UK. The fourth Spice Girls single, the double A-side "Mama"/"Who Do You Think You Are", also went to number one in the UK for four weeks.
In November 1997 the group released their second album, Spiceworld, which has been certified eight times platinum by the BPI. The album was preceded by the UK number-one single, "Spice Up Your Life" and, in December, it produced the Spice Girls' second UK Christmas #1, "Too Much". The album's third single "Stop!" was released in March 1998 to coincide with the opening of the Spiceworld Tour. It peaked at number two, ending the group's run of consecutive number-one singles in the UK. In May 1998, while promoting "Viva Forever", the album's fourth and final single, Geri Halliwell left the group, citing depression and personal differences with the band. This departure was a significant news event in 1998. "Viva Forever" became another UK number-one single from Spiceworld and was a success in every market in which it was released. Now a four-piece, in December 1998 the Spice Girls released "Goodbye" as a farewell to Halliwell. The single became the Spice Girls third-consecutive, and last, Christmas #1 in the UK. It was also a major success in Canada and Italy and a hit across the US and the rest of Europe.
As a four-piece, the Spice Girls released their third album, Forever, in November 2000. A sharp departure from their previous pop genre, it peaked at number two in the UK Albums Chart and was certified platinum by the BPI. Forever produced the Spice Girls' last UK number-one single, the double A-side "Holler"/"Let Love Lead the Way". Following the relative commercial and critical downturn of Forever, in December 2000, the four remaining members announced an indefinite hiatus. All had solo UK top ten singles.
In June 2007 all five members of the Spice Girls reunited to tour. A Greatest Hits was released with two new tracks; the single, "Headlines (Friendship Never Ends)" and "Voodoo". The album peaked at number two in the UK, and became their first number-one album in Australia. It also peaked within the top ten in Ireland. Greatest Hits was also certified two times platinum in the UK.
In 2012, the Official Charts Company revealed the biggest selling singles artists in British music chart history; the Spice Girls placed at 20th overall, making them the most successful girl group in UK chart history. They are currently the seventh overall biggest group of all time, with 8 million singles sold in the UK. The Spice Girls have sold 100 million records worldwide
To mark the 25th anniversary of "Wannabe", an EP of the group's debut single was released in July 2021 that included previously unreleased demos.
