A Milestone Achievement
Being featured on a dedicated stamp collection is a significant honor, and the Spice Girls are only the sixth musical group to receive this tribute. They follow in the footsteps of legendary bands like The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen, The Rolling Stones, and Iron Maiden. However, the Spice Girls hold a special distinction as the first girl band to be celebrated by the Royal Mail.
The Spice Girls themselves, Geri Horner, Mel B, Victoria Beckham, Emma Bunton, and Mel C, expressed their excitement and shared their iconic catchphrase: “That’s Girl Power!”
Musical Success
The Spice Girls made history with their debut single, “Wannabe,” which skyrocketed to number one on the UK Singles Chart on July 20, 1996. Remaining at the top for an impressive seven weeks, it marked the beginning of their remarkable journey. They went on to achieve six consecutive number one hits, captivating the world with their infectious energy and empowering messages.
Despite narrowly missing out on a seventh consecutive number one with “Stop” in 1998, the Spice Girls continued to dominate the charts with three more chart-topping singles.
