The Spice Girls got their first No1 hit with Wannabe, which released on July 20, 1996.

It stayed at the top of the UK Singles Chart for seven weeks.

The song was the first of six successive No1 hits.

The Spice Girls failed to make it seven in a row when Stop only reached No2 in 1998.

They then followed that up with three more number ones.
