Spice Girls ‘Stop’ Us In Our Tracks With Posh Birthday Reunion — But Will There Be More?
“Stop” what you’re doing right now: All five of the Spice Girls were back together Saturday night to celebrate Posh Spice’s birthday, and they even gave us a mini-performance.
On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie & Keith are talking all about how the legendary girl group — Victoria Beckham, Geri Halliwell-Turner, Emma Bunton, Melanie “Mel C” Chisholm and Melanie “Mel B” Brown — came back together for Posh Spice’s 50th birthday party in London. David Beckham even shot a short video of the quintet singing and dancing to “Stop,” a 1998 top 20 hit on the Billboard Hot 100.
But could there be more from the “girl power” ambassadors? Listen to our full podcast discussion below.
Also on the show, we’ve got chart news on Hozier getting his first No. 1 on the Hot 100 as “Too Sweet” rises to the top of the list and how Sabrina Carpenter visits the Hot 100’s top 10 for the first time as “Espresso” brews up a No. 7 debut. Plus, Future and Metro Boomin’s We Still Don’t Trust You bows at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, while Linkin Park’s first greatest-hits album Papercuts starts in the top 10. We also talk about just how big Taylor Swift’s new album The Tortured Poets Department is shaping up to be, as we await its expected debut at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 next week.
