Vote and discuss.

Voted for Lithuania, because there are so much good girl groups : Sirdeles, Magnit, YVA, Pop Ladies, Studentes, Pinup Girls, MIS, Braskes, Man-Go e.t.c.

Posted by: websiteee 26th May 2017, 08:35 AM

'Twice' is the best group. That was found in 2016 with the help of nine founder members.

UK. No girlband can Little Mix and The Saturdays in my affections <3

Posted by: Iz~ 26th May 2017, 11:18 AM

A Japanese idol group probably has more members in a single band than all of the girl group singers in the WHOLE of Lithuania.

Not that idol groups are particularly high quality, but that's by the by.

Girls Aloud alone win it for the UK *.* Sugababes, The Saturdays, Atomic Kitten, Little Mix, Spice Girls, and so many more

1. All Saints
2. Spice Girls
3. Girls Aloud
4. The Saturdays
5. B*Witched
6. Sugababes (but only first three lineups)
7. TLC
8. Eternal
9. Shampoo
10. Bananarama
11. Honeyz
12. Little Mix
13. Hepburn (anyone remember them?)
14. The Bangles
15. Atomic Kitten (but only when Kerry was in the lineup)

Spice Girls, enough said. <3

Posted by: gooddelta 27th May 2017, 07:08 AM

UK for sure though my favourite girl group album is the debut from Australian Popstars winners Bardot <3

Posted by: PAJ88 27th May 2017, 08:28 AM

WOW that's a surprise.

I do love the three singles from it:
Poison
I Should Have Never Let You Go
These Days

Posted by: Jonjo 27th May 2017, 03:58 PM

Alex! Long time no see!

UK for me too <3

But shout out to Korean girl groups too

Posted by: Kuki Sanban 27th May 2017, 11:03 PM

UK, easily. Sugababes remain the girl group with the strongest discography and Spice Girls are the most iconic/successful.

USA obviously!

TLC are #1 but you also have Destiny's Child, En Vogue, The Supremes, SWV, Wilson Phillips, Dixie Chicks, Pussycat Dolls, Danity Kane...

Posted by: No Sleeep 27th June 2017, 06:28 PM

In your opinion Honeyz and a group called "Shampoo" are better than Destiny's Child? Each to their own

Posted by: King Rollo 27th June 2017, 06:49 PM

For anyone who is interested,there is a programme about Japanese girl groups on BBC4 at 10pm tonight.

Posted by: DiamondHeart 27th June 2017, 07:56 PM

THE UK:
Little Mix
The Saturdays
Sugababes
Girls Aloud
Spice Girls

but PCD, TLC and Destiny's Child deserve a special mention!

Posted by: Addy K!ng 27th June 2017, 08:18 PM

I think from 2010's South Korea slays.

I agree though that UK had the best girl groups in 90's till 2005ish

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 28th June 2017, 12:27 AM

Destiny's Child are overrated to the max (their songs are so repetitive!). Give me En Vogue or TLC any day.

Posted by: No Sleeep 28th June 2017, 12:54 AM

I kinda agree, TLC are way better than DC, En Vogue would be if the original members had released more material, but Destiny's Child are definitely better than Honeyz and Shampoo lol.

Posted by: Good Old Days 28th June 2017, 07:18 AM

I also love Shampoo, the one from two my favourite girl groups of 90s (another : Me & My)

Three votes for Lithuania Is it a misclicks ?

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 28th June 2017, 07:21 AM

Destiny's Child don't have a 'Finally Found' (such a gorgeous song!).

Posted by: tommie 28th June 2017, 07:48 AM

SLAY!

But I voted Sweden because country pride.

Posted by: ThePensmith 28th June 2017, 09:18 AM

I like certain singles of Destiny's Child's - Independent Women, Say My Name, Lose My Breath, Survivor and Bootylicious - but I could never get into them full time when it was all show boating for Beyonce's inevitable solo career. Lose My Breath excluded, the remaining singles they had off their last album were awful.

Posted by: ThePensmith 28th June 2017, 09:22 AM

Regardless of the personal car crash her life became after she left, Kerry was the life and soul of the Kittens when they started out. Jenny Frost just smacked of 'stand at the back and look smexeh' 99% of the time.

Posted by: Jonjo 28th June 2017, 02:15 PM

The albums without Kerry were so much better and stronger though...

I'll never understand why people yearned for Kerry to be back in the group.

Posted by: ThePensmith 28th June 2017, 02:41 PM

I don't think it was even so much yearning per se. Had 'Whole Again' not happened they probably would have been on the scrapheap along with the numerous other good but not quite big girl groups that were foisted on the world at the turn of the millennium (hello to you, Girl Thing, Madasun etc).

But their early singles had a spark and a sass about them that made them stand out, probably as Andy Mcluskey of OMD was their manager/producer on their early stuff. 'See Ya' and 'I Want Your Love' were both brilliant singles, especially the latter with the Big Country sample on it.

Kerry herself admitted she didn't desire to go back into pop once she left anyway. It's just that they became so uniformly dull once Jenny joined, just constant cover versions and watered down R&B pop that it was literally like 'What is the point?'

Posted by: HarryEzra 28th June 2017, 02:41 PM

Has to be UK for me

Posted by: Jade 28th June 2017, 05:57 PM

The UK is home to my three all-time favourite girl groups: Girls Aloud, Spice Girls and Sugababes! Plus Little Mix are one of my favourite chart acts around right now. So it was a no-brainer *.*

Posted by: No Sleeep 28th June 2017, 06:37 PM

I liked the last album actually, Soldier was forgettable but Girl and Cater 2 U are great and the album tracks are good too (Bad Habit, If...). Get On the Bus is probably my favourite single of theirs and I love the ones you said as well as Bills, Bills, Bills, No No No pt 2 and Bug a Boo. The first two albums aren't as Beyoncé-heavy tbh.

Posted by: diamondtooth 28th June 2017, 09:40 PM

B*Witched are not from the UK.
Anyway you had Eternal in your list and that's the main thing!

Posted by: OutstandingMixer 28th June 2017, 10:18 PM

*All time*

Posted by: tommie 28th June 2017, 10:58 PM

Wait... WAIT - did someone try to shame Shampoo?

Posted by: Good Old Days 29th June 2017, 06:58 AM

From popular UK groups I love only Girls Aloud, but low-known or/and short-lived UK groups were my weakness before my obsession by Lithuanian female pop music.

From not British and not Lithuanian groups my favourites are :
Graaf (Sweden)
Me & My (Denmark)
M2M (Norway)

Sadly active Lithuanian girl groups lost their charm in last 2-3 years and most their last songs sounds like the modern girlbands from United States and Little Mix.

#Everything we need is YVA's 5th studio album.
#Make Lithuanian girl groups great again.

We have some upredictable results in this poll.

UK got very big advantage from our votes.
