Find The Spice Girls Songs Trivia Quiz

Answer:

Artists who have won the Brit Award For Outstanding Contribution To Music include The Beatles (1977), Elton John (1986), Freddie Mercury (1992), Ozzy Osbourne (2026), and the Spice Girls in 2000. Some dismiss pop music but that's an illustrious award and given to a manufactured girl group who influenced many female singers. The Spice Girls consist of Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Mel B (Scary Spice), Melanie C (Sporty Spice), Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), and Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice).

The songs by the Spice Girls chosen for the quiz come from just three albums. Their debut album, "Spice", was released in 1996. The four singles in order were "Wannabe", "Say You'll Be There", "2 Become 1", and "Mama". All four singles reached number one on the UK Singles chart and dominated pop radio worldwide. "Wannabe" introduced the theme of girl power that dominated the Spice Girls career. The song introduced the word "zigazig-ah" in the chorus. "Say You'll Be There" had more of an R&B feel and the music video showcased the Spice Girls using martial arts in a tongue-in-cheek setting.

"2 Became 1" was the big ballad on "Spice". The music video appeared to be set in New York City's Times Square but was actually filmed in London using a blue screen. The song had a sensual slow jam vibe but even included a safe sex message in the lyrics. The song was later recorded in Spanish to increase the song's international appeal. "Mama" was released as a double-sided single with "Who Do You Think You Are". Both songs had a totally different feel and were released with proceeds going to a British charity called Comic Relief.

The second album by the Spice Girls was "Spiceworld". The album debuted at number one on the UK Albums chart and was part of the growing "Spicemania" in 1997. Besides the album's title track, the singles released were "Too Much", "Stop", and "Viva Forever". "Too Much" topped the UK Singles chart over Christmas, a major career goal that many UK artists dream of achieving. The music video for "Stop" was filmed in Ireland and had a Motown girl group sound. Despite their first six singles all reaching number one on the UK Singles chart, "Stop" only reached number two behind a remix of RUN DMC's "It's Like That". "Viva Forever" had Spanglish lyrics and the release of the single was delayed as promotion was halted after original member Geri Halliwell had left the group.

In 2000, the group put out their swan song album, "Forever". After the first two albums had reached number one, "Forever" was stuck reaching the runner-up spot on the UK Albums Chart. Only one single was released "Holler". The song wasn't as unique as their previous records and was produced by Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins. He had worked with TLC and Destiny's Child and you could see the similarity in their sound in "Holler" and "Oxygen". The album included "Goodbye" as the final track and it was released as a Christmas single two years before "Forever" came out.

The wrong answers were "Barbie Girl" (Aqua), "Never Ever" (All Saints), "Genie In A Bottle" (Christina Aguilera), "The Sign" (Roxette), "Come Clean" (Hilary Duff), and "He Loves U Not" (Dream). Each were pop singers during Spice Girls' run. Ice Spice wasn't a song but the name of the 21st Century female rapper.
