The Spice Girls are turning back the clock to celebrate 30 years of girl power. The British pop phenomenon have marked the milestone with ‘The Singles Collection’, a career-spanning compilation bringing together their biggest hits, B-sides, remixes and previously unreleased recordings across an expansive range of CD and vinyl formats.
Arriving three decades after Victoria Beckham, Geri Horner, Melanie C, Emma Bunton and Melanie B introduced themselves to the world with debut album ‘Spice’, the collection revisits the music that transformed five young women into one of the biggest pop acts on the planet. From the chart-conquering arrival of ‘Wannabe’ to the global success of ‘Spice Up Your Life’ and the bittersweet pop of ‘Viva Forever’, the group’s catalogue helped shape the sound and spirit of the Nineties – with an influence that has extended well beyond the decade.
The most extensive edition is a 14-CD box set featuring 160 tracks, including the group’s complete B-sides, rare remixes and four previously unreleased recordings. A 14-disc coloured vinyl collection pairs the original singles with their respective B-sides, while both editions come with a selection of anniversary extras, including five collectible art cards and an exclusive 30th-anniversary acrylic charm.
Among the rarities is ‘Do You Think About Me’, an early demo that offers a fresh glimpse into the group’s recording history. The collection also features ‘Step To Me’ and ‘Tell Me Why’, alongside anniversary messages from all five members.

Few groups have left such a distinct imprint on British pop culture. The Spice Girls didn’t simply dominate the charts; they helped redefine what a girl group could represent, taking their message of friendship, individuality and female solidarity from the pop charts to a worldwide cultural movement. Thirty years on, ‘The Singles Collection’ is a reminder of the songs that started it all – and the enduring legacy of the five women behind them.
