In 1997 the Spice Girls made their live debut concert tour and released a feature film, Spice World, both to commercial success. Both albums encapsulated the group's dance-pop style and message of female empowerment, with vocal and songwriting contributions shared equally by the members. They achieved three number-one singles from the album with: " Spice Up Your Life", " Too Much" and " Viva Forever". Their second album Spiceworld (1997) was another global success, selling more than 14 million copies worldwide. It produced three more number-one singles: " Say You'll Be There", " 2 Become 1" and " Who Do You Think You Are"/" Mama". Their debut album, Spice (1996), sold more than 23 million copies worldwide, becoming the best-selling album by a female group in history. The Spice Girls signed to Virgin Records and released their debut single " Wannabe" in 1996, which reached number one on the charts of 37 countries. They quickly left the managers and took creative control over their sound and image. The Spice Girls formed through auditions held with the intent to create a girl group to compete with the British boy bands popular at the time. They led the teen pop resurgence of the 1990s, were a major part of the Cool Britannia era, and became pop culture icons of the decade.
With their " girl power" mantra, they redefined the girl-group concept by targeting a young female fanbase. The Spice Girls are an English girl group formed in 1994, consisting of Melanie Brown, also known as Mel B ("Scary Spice") Melanie Chisholm, or Melanie C ("Sporty Spice") Emma Bunton ("Baby Spice") Geri Halliwell ("Ginger Spice") and Victoria Beckham ("Posh Spice").
