On This Day: Spice Girls Released “Wannabe” — Here’s Where They Are Now originally appeared on Parade.
The Spice Girls’ iconic hit “Wannabe” turns 29 today. The 1990s anthem was released in the UK on July 8, 1996, and went on to become the group’s most popular song of all time. It reached No. 1 in the UK and stayed there for seven weeks. The upbeat track also topped the Billboard Hot 100 in the U.S.
The Spice Girls went on to dominate the charts in the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits like “Say You'll Be There,” “2 Become 1,” “Mama” / “Who Do You Think You Are,” “Spice Up Your Life,” “Too Much,” “Viva Forever,” “Goodbye,” and “Holler” / “Let Love Lead the Way.”

The group officially disbanded in February 2001 but have, by all accounts, remained close. While a long-rumored reunion tour has been dangled for years, all five Spice Girls did reunite for Victoria Beckham’s 50th birthday party in April 2024.
So, what are the Spice Girls up to now? Here’s what the ladies have been sharing on social media lately:
Victoria Beckham (51), aka “Posh Spice,” recently celebrated her 26th wedding anniversary with husband David Beckham.
In a sweet social media post featuring the couple kissing in a pool, the fashion designer wrote,“Another year, another chapter in our love story.♥️I'm so proud of the beautiful family and life we've built together. You and our four incredible children complete me. I love you so much @davidbeckham xx Here's to 26 years!! Xx”
