Spiceworld is the second studio album by British girl group Spice Girls, originally released in November 1997 via Virgin Records.
Spice Girls formed in 1994 comprising of singers Geri Halliwell ("Ginger Spice"), Emma Bunton ("Baby Spice"), Melanie Brown ("Scary Spice"), Melanie Chisholm ("Sporty Spice") and Victoria Beckham ("Posh Spice").
Their debut single “Wannabe” was released in the UK in July 1996 and quickly raced to the top of the charts in 31 countries. They continued to have massive chart success with subsequent singles and released three studio albums Spice (1996), Spiceworld (1997) and Forever (2000).
The album consists of pop music with dance-pop songs and production, providing a mix of catchy melodies and a sense of fun.
The album was also used as the soundtrack to their 1997 film Spice World. "Spice Up Your Life" is a dance-pop song, with influences of Latin rhythms such as salsa and samba. The first verse follows, the lyrics are an international rally cry, targeted to a global market, as Scary Spice described it: "We always wanted to do a carnival tune and write a song for the world." "Stop" is an up-tempo dance-pop song with influences of Motown's blue-eyed soul, and is reminiscent of classic singles by The Supremes or Martha and the Vandellas. Lyrically, the song calls for a slowing down on the courtship process, and it is particularly addressed to appeal to the young female audience, as the female to female bonds are not threatened.
"Too Much" is a pop ballad, with influences of R&B music and doo-wop sounds, whereas "Never Give Up On The Good Times" is a dance-pop song with influences of disco. "Viva Forever" is a pop ballad with influences of Latin music, and "The Lady Is A Vamp" has influences of jazz.
The album became a commercial success worldwide, continuing the so-called "Spicemania" era of that time. It debuted at #1 on the UK Albums Chart, and also reached #1 in 13 countries, while peaking inside the top three in Australia, Canada, France, Switzerland and the United States.
Spiceworld has sold over 13 million copies worldwide, making it one of the world's best-selling albums by a girl group.
The album spawned four singles, all of which saw commercial success. Its lead single "Spice Up Your Life" became an international success, peaking in the top five positions in most countries. It was followed by the singles "Too Much", "Stop", and "Viva Forever", all of which attained commercial success on the charts.
This album is a 2020 reissue on 180 gram heavyweight black vinyl with a printed inner sleeve and download code, pressed in Europe via Virgin Records.
