The series consists of 15 stamps featuring photos of the band members and their past performances.
A collection of stamps dedicated to the girl group Spice Girls, which is celebrating its 30th anniversary, will be released in Britain. The collection has been prepared by the postal company Royal Mail, the BBC reported on Saturday, January 6.
It is noted that the series consists of 15 stamps with pictures of the group members and their most memorable performances of the past years. In particular, the Brit Awards in 1997 and the closing ceremony of the London 2012 Olympic Games. The stamps will go on general sale on January 11.
To the news that this year the Spice Girls received such an honor, the members of the group themselves reacted with their famous slogan: “This is Girl Power!” They added that they could not have dreamed of this when they started their music career.
The Spice Girls have become the sixth music group to be dedicated by Royal Mail in a series of stamps. They were preceded by The Beatles in 2007, Pink Floyd in 2016, Queen in 2020, The Rolling Stones in 2022 and Iron Maiden in 2023.
The Spice Girls became a global sensation with their 1996 debut single Wannabe, followed shortly by the release of the Spice album. This disc became the best-selling album by a girl group in music history, and their slogan “Girl Power” became a popular symbol of feminism.
Subsequently, selling more than 100 million copies of all their albums worldwide, the Spice Girls became the most successful girl group in the world.
The Spice Girls emerged in the mid-1990s after auditions organized by a family of music producers. They wanted to create a female alternative to the popular boy bands of the time, and each of the participants, according to their plan, had to have a certain quality. This is how the pseudonyms “Red”, “Sporty”, “Chic”, “Strict” and “Baby” appeared.
In 2021, it is reported that the Spice Girls will release their first song in 15 years, Feed Your Love.
We remind you that the film company Paramount Pictures created an animated film about the British pop group Spice Girls, popular in the 90s.
