The Spice Girls is the biggest pop phenomenon since the Beatles! Here's a list of all the records noted in the Guinness Book of World Records.

*Biggest selling single by a female group* - with Wannabe

*First three singles over 1 million* - first group ever to have their first 3 singles pass 1 million sales

*Most successful run of No 1 hits* - Only 4 are listed - due to the publication date - of course it's now up to 6

*Most successful US debut by UK act* - Say You'll be There entered the US chart at No 5 in May 1997.

*Longest No 1 album in the 1990s* - Spice - topped the UK album chart in Nov 1996 and spent 15 weeks at No 1 to May 1997.

*Fastest selling album* - Spice reached No 1 in the charts of 14 countries and sold 12 million copies worldwide in 6 months, making it the fastest selling album by a British act.

*Most successful debut album in the USA by UK act* - Spice topped the US charts for 4 weeks as of June 1997 and became the only debut album by a wholly British group which has gone to No 1.

*The Spice album is also listed as the 9th best selling UK album

and most important....

*The Spice Girls opened the doors and helped make females in the music business important and able to be successful. If it wasn't for the Spice Girls breaking through and making females cool in the music business I doubt any female performers like Britney Spears, Mandy Moore, Christina Aguilera, Dream etc... would even be popular and able to get on the cover of magazines.
