If you want to be my lover, you better like the Spice Girls. The queens of Girl Power are one of the best-selling girl groups of all time, and their second album ‘Spice World’ cemented them as a pop culture phenomenon. We take you to that day in this week’s Pop Culture Rewind.

The day was November 1st, 1997. And after releasing their first album with hits like “Wannabe” and “Say You’ll Be There,” Spice Girls drop “Spice Up Your Life” from ‘Spice World.’ They performed the lead single at our 1997 Billboard Music Awards. The mega album has fan-favorite hits like “Too Much” and “Stop,” and you can’t talk about the ‘Spice World’ album without talking about the ‘Spice World’ movie. Scary, Baby, Ginger, Posh and Sporty just celebrated the 25th anniversary of the album last year with new versions of the project and an exclusive line of merchandise. Viva Forever, indeed. We’ll have another huge moment for you next week in our Pop Culture Rewind.
