3. Forever (2000)
While Forever boasted great harmonies and funky beats, it was an album that felt disconnected and at times, sounded a bit monotonous, too. The reason? We’re thinking it’s because (maybe) it was released with one less Spice Girl—Ginger Spice, who said farewell to the group two years before Forever.
The album felt forced – like it was their last ditch effort to push out an album before realizing it was time to say goodbye and do their own thing. Which funny enough, is the title of their last track on the album.
Although the Spice Girls didn’t last forever, (the remaining members went their separate ways two years later), the album did provide a handful of funky-fresh songs, like the lead single “Holler,” “
” and “ “Sadly, as a whole, Forever lacked that sass and energy that we know and love.

“With lyrics like “all you need is positivity” it’s a memorable song that instantly brightens your day and gets you dancing – even if it’s the only song you know from the entire album. No judgement here!

” the socially conscious, “ ” and the statement-making “ ” it’s no surprise Spice is the best Spice Girls album in our books, spawning memorable tracks – and equally memorable music videos.Spice also garnered massive worldwide commercial success. The album reached #1 in more than 17 countries across the world and was the world’s top-selling album of 1997, selling 19 million copies that year alone. It was the biggest-selling album in music history by a girl group and one of the most successful albums of all time.
Bottom line, Spice is the best Spice Girls album because aside from giving us songs that we still obsess over to this very day, it also gave us the official girl power squad that was so relatable, so empowering and undeniably bad ass.
Honorable Mention: Greatest Hits (2007)
After an extended hiatus, the Spice Girls — all five of them — reformed in 2007 to release their Greatest Hits album. It was a moment fans had been waiting for, to see all five members back together, and the Spice Girls embarked on a world tour to celebrate. The album has one new single, “Headlines,” which was a ballad that touched on friendship that well…never ends.
After the album cycle and tour was finished, the Spice Girls disbanded once again to pursue their own solo projects. This upcoming tour will be the first time they’re back together to perform on stage, although this time, it’ll just be four members again – Posh Spice Victoria Beckham says she’s skipping the reunion to focus on her fashion line.
