Subsequent singles "Rollercoaster", "To You I Belong" and "Blame It on the Weatherman" also topped the UK charts. The group's debut album, "B*Witched", was released in October 1998, reaching Number 3 in the UK charts and was certified Double Platinum in the UK and Platinum in the US. B*Witched's second album, "Awake and Breathe", released almost exactly a year after their debut, peaked at Number 5 on the charts and was certified Platinum. Singles from the album were less successful than earlier releases ("Jesse Hold On" reached Number 4, "I Shall Be There" Number 13 and "Jump Down" Number 16 in the UK). The latter two appeared on their new American EP, "Across America 2000", along with live tracks and the earlier cover of "Does Your Mother Know". However, in September 2002, the group officially split when O'Carroll decided to leave the band.
Document 2: Say Something Anyway: "Say Something Anyway" was the Irish girl group Bellefire's first single release of their comeback as a 3-piece, after being signed by WEA. It is also included on their album "Spin the Wheel". This single received quite a lot of airplay in Ireland (peaking at #5), as well as the United Kingdom (#26 chart peak). During several episodes of a few hit British sitcoms, such as Coronation Street & Emmerdale, Say Something Anyway can clearly be heard in the background during scenes in public buildings, such as pubs and diners.

In 1997, the band became involved in an unprecedented marketing phenomenon, leading to a prolific number of Spice Girls merchandise and sponsorship deals. With the official Spice Girls branding on hundreds of different products, they became the most merchandised group in music history. The Spice Girls brand reportedly produced over £300 million worldwide through merchandise in 1997. Globally, the group's total grosses were estimated to have been $500–800 million by May 1998.

The song, released on 29 May 2000, peaked at number 13 in Ireland in June 2000 and remained in the Irish charts for three weeks; it reached number 17 in the United Kingdom and was in the top 40 for two weeks.
Document 8: Bananarama: Bananarama are a British female pop music vocal group formed in London in 1981 by friends Sara Dallin, Siobhan Fahey and Keren Woodward. Their success on both pop and dance charts have earned them a listing in "The Guinness Book of Records" as the all-female group with the most chart entries in the world. In addition to their chart success, they are also known for their vocal style, generally singing in unison rather than in harmony like most vocal groups.
Document 9: Please Yourself: Please Yourself is the sixth studio album by British girl group Bananarama. It was released in 1993 by London Records, the last release the group had on this label. It is also the first album from Bananarama as a duo – with original members Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward continuing after the departure of Jacquie O'Sullivan the previous year and the last to feature both Sara Dallin and Keren Woodward to play bass guitar on some tracks on the album. "Please Yourself" also reunites Bananarama with two-thirds of the Stock Aitken Waterman production team (Stock and Waterman). Musician Gary Miller was brought in to do keyboards and guitar and would be Bananarama's next collaborator on their next album "Ultra Violet". The concept of the album was first suggested by Pete Waterman as 'ABBA-Banana', a record that would feature pop songs in the style of ABBA, but updated for the 1990s.
Document 10: Mama Said (The Shirelles song): "Mama Said" is a song performed by The Shirelles, written by Luther Dixon and Willie Denson. It became a top ten hit, on both the pop and R&B charts, when it was released as a single in 1961. "Mama Said" went number four on the "Billboard" Hot 100 and number two on the R&B chart. It has been covered by American Spring, Melanie, Dusty Springfield, and The Stereos as well as a young Dionne Bromfield. It was also the inspiration for "Days Like This" by Van Morrison. It was also covered by Nick Lowe on his 2001 album The Convincer. The song was featured during the closing of the third season Orange is the New Black episode "Fake it Till You Fake it Some More." The song also appeared in the seventh season of "Adventure Time" at the end of the eponymous episode, "Mama Said."

It features eleven newly recorded tracks, along with a remix of their 1986 smash hit "Venus" (done by Soft Cell's Marc Almond) and a 2005 remix of their 1982 hit "Really Saying Something", an underground bootleg club hit produced by Solasso.
Document 12: Wow! (Bananarama album): WOW! is the fourth album by Bananarama, released in September 1987. The album was entirely produced and co-written with the Stock Aitken Waterman production trio and is the last album by the girl group to generate significant chart hits in the US. Tensions between group member Siobhan Fahey and Stock, Aitken and Waterman regarding songwriting input and lyrical content (particularly with the track "Strike it Rich" ) prompted Fahey's departure from Bananarama months after its release. By the time the album's fourth single, "I Want You Back", was released, Fahey had been replaced with Jacquie O'Sullivan, who re-recorded the vocals for the single version of the song. Fahey would resurface in 1988 with her new band, Shakespears Sister.
Document 13: Pop Life (Bananarama album): Pop Life is the fifth studio album by British girl group Bananarama, released in 1991. It is the only album released which features Jacquie O'Sullivan, who replaced Siobhan Fahey in Bananarama upon her departure in 1988. This album marks the end of the group's association with the Stock Aitken Waterman production team (they produced only two songs) as most of "Pop Life" was produced by Youth (real name Martin Glover). UK singer Zoë provided backing vocals on "Long Train Running". This would be the last album by Bananarama as a trio.
