Released in November 2007, Greatest Hits brought the Spice Girls back together for a celebration of their unforgettable pop legacy. Their first album in seven years, this collection gathers many of the group’s biggest hits, taking fans on a nostalgic journey through the Girl Power phenomenon that conquered the world in the ’90s.
Alongside iconic anthems such as “Wannabe,” “Say You’ll Be There,” “2 Become 1,” “Spice Up Your Life” and “Viva Forever,” the album features “Headlines (Friendship Never Ends),” the group’s only new single from the collection. Released in support of BBC Children in Need, the heartfelt song celebrates the lasting bond between friends and became a special moment in the girls’ reunion era.
The release was accompanied by the Return of the Spice Girls world tour, bringing Melanie B, Melanie C, Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell and Victoria Beckham back on stage together for fans around the globe. Greatest Hits sold 1.7 million copies by the end of 2007, becoming the world’s best-selling girl group album of that year.
The album returned to the charts worldwide following the Spice Girls’ memorable performance at the London 2012 Olympic Games closing ceremony. More than just a collection of hit songs, Greatest Hits celebrates the music, friendship and Girl Power that made the Spice Girls a pop phenomenon — and continues to bring generations of fans together.
