Geri is a bit of a mess though, 'Mi Chico Latino' is easily my favourite of hers.
June 20, 20187 yr Great thread idea, Jade! :heart: These stats are from Last.fm, since January 2012!

August 3, 20186 yr Good topic, though I'm only gonna do a top 5 for each. I've no idea what the counts will look like.... *puts on ipod, and types each name * GERI 65 - Love Never Loved Me - my fav Geri song ! 52 - Desire 34 - Ride It 02 - Breaking Glass 02 - Destiny VICTORIA 12 - French version of Mind Of It's Own 12 - Shake It - I don''t even remember this one, but that's shuffle for you. 11 - I'd Give It All Away 10 - My Love is For Real 08 - I Wish [ft Robbie Craig] EMMA 41 - Crickets Sing For Anamaria 39 - Maybe 03 - All I Need To Know 01 - Free Me 01 - I'll Be There MEL B 07 - Lullaby 02 - Tell Me - I'm not keen on this one.

August 5, 20186 yr 1. Victoria Beckham - Out Of Your Mind 2. Victoria Beckham - Not Such An Innocent Girl 3. Mel C - I Turn To You 4. Mel C - Never Be The Same Again 5. Mel B - Feel So Good 6. Victoria Beckham - Let Your Head Go 7. Victoria Beckham - This Groove 8. Emma - What Took You So Long (by FAR the worst solo Spice) That's based on how much I've listened to these songs over the years since they were released in the early 00s

August 6, 20186 yr Solo careers rank: Melanie C > Emma > Geri > Victoria > Mel B All five provided great moments. I’d have to put Mel B last because neither album was great, although Hot at least gave us three great singles (I Want You Back, Tell Me, Feel So Good) Victoria had weaker singles from her debut compared to Mel, but Victoria’s album was stronger as a whole. Her non-album singles Out of Your Mind and Let Your Head Go are amongst the best solo Spice offerings, and the second era showed promise. Geri had a largely brilliant run of singles, and Schizophonic was fabulous. She was the most entertaining of the girls to follow. Where she falls down for me was with a fairly bland second album and a poor third album. Emma released my personal favourite solo single, Maybe, and What Took You So Long? isnt far behind in my affections. Her debut album was cute and MOR, which was what was expected of her. However the second and third albums is where she showed herself to have an edge! The 60s vibe was a stroke of genius. Overall far more consistent than Geri when it came to albums, so that’s why I’ve placed her higher. Melanie C has to come first. She released my personal favourite solo Spice album is Northern Star (such a triumph *.*) and the run of the singles Northern Star, Never Be The Same Again and I Turn To You was flawless! Every album (bar Stages) included a handful of songs I love.
