Song of the Year : The Spice Girls - Wannabe
A No 1 hit in 31 countries, Wannabe is the bestselling single ever by a female group and propelled Sporty, Scary, Posh, Ginger and Baby Spice to a level of chart-conquering domination that, even now, seems extraordinary. Such statistics can make it easy to forget quite how ropey the five-piece seemed to many music fans, who saw the title of the band’s debut single not as an expression of female empowerment, but as an accurate description of five slightly desperate hoofers recruited from an ad in The Stage. The genius of the Spice Girls — or, rather, the team behind them — was to bulldoze their way through such perceptions with the aid of both precision-bomb marketing and, of course, Wannabe. The former still leaves a bad taste in the mouth: the true legacy of Girl Power is, arguably, a preteen clothing industry selling crop tops and other minimal garments to young girls, not a generation of independent, take-no-nonsense women. But the song remains the same two minutes and 53 seconds of pop perfection that it ever was.
