2 minute warning! :o

Track 1: Spice Up Your Life

 

WHAT an album opener :wub: I've been doing a countdown for a while on the forum (my favourite top 40 hits of every year from 1997 onwards - my birth year) and 'Spice Up Your Life' ranked as my second favourite for 1997, only behind Dario G's 'Sunchyme'! Such an infectious song and I love the video too.

SUYL is my favourite Spice track!! :wub:

SUYL is the best and my favorite single of 1997. Very uplifting and still a bop of a song.

GENIUS way of starting an album / era. They really meant BUSINESS with this one. I still remember loving it when it was first released and it hasn't aged much for me at all *.* forever spicing up ha life :dance:

My favourite Spice Girls song! :wub: A timeless bop, always makes me feel uplifted :music: This song really strongly reminds me of the madness that was the Spice Girls phenomenon towards the end of 1997. They were absolutely everywhere!

What an opener! So iconic. My favourite up tempo track

Track 2: Stop

 

'Spice Up Your Life' and 'Stop' are such a FUN back-to-back :wub: I'm sure I would've been all over this dance routine if I was older than 1 at the time x

Stop :wub: This song is still very iconic who doesn't remember the dance moves :cheer:

Stop was never my favourite single but ironically my favourite video. I remember it being on TV during the Feb half term. They were everywhere at this time. Movie and tour era. Amazing times

What an 1-2 punch to open the album *.*

A great album opener! So infectious and just all out, in your face, straight up pop! :wub:

 

'Stop' is incredible. It pisses me off that of ALL their singles, THAT was the one to ruin their #1 streak :drama: We love girl groups doing a 60's inspired doo-wop pop banger! (this, 'Black Heart' [stooshe], 'Love Me Like You' [Little Mix] & 'The Promise' [Girls Aloud] - not my fave though)

R A N K I N G S:

01. Stop

02. Spice Up Your Life

 

An amazing one-two punch to start the album! Iconic dance moves, very memorable for being their first single to miss #1 in the UK ( :cry: ) but it's absolutely stood the test of time. :heart:

Track 3: Too Much

 

Too Much the opening song of the movie, i know not everyone's fave but for me one of their fave ballads.

Too Much is my favourite single. It’s flawless and I can never fault it. Memories of the Spiceworld movie era and Christmas 1997 😍
