Despite not reuniting with the rest of the group, Mel C and Victoria Beckham also sent their best wishes to the GEM trio on the 20th anniversary of Wannabe becoming a “Hit”. Mel C posted a picture of the Spice Girls in their early days with the message: “Happy 20th birthday” and the hashtag “Wannabe”. Victoria also expressed her pride in Wannabe as the song became a feminist message that has been passed down through generations.

The Spice Girls were formed in 1994, consisting of five members: Mel C, Mel B, Emma, Geri and Victoria. Their debut single - Wannabe - released in 1996 created a fever and became the champion of music charts in 30 countries and territories.
The British girls' bold, free-spirited style made the Spice Girls a global feminist icon in the 1990s. In 1998, Geri Halliwell left the group and the Spice Girls continued as a four-piece. By the end of 2000, the group disbanded and the members pursued solo careers. Of the current five Spice Girls, Victoria Beckham is the most famous, but as a fashion designer.
Besides Wannabe, Spice Girls also have many hits that have been loved for the past 20 years such as Say You Will Be There, 2 Become 1, Too Much, Viva Forever, Mama, Goodbye, Spice Up Your Life.
