Number 1: Mel B - 25 Years of "Hot" [Solo Spice Girls: Revisited]
Pop fans, this month marks 25 years of "Hot" - the Spicy debut solo album by the bold and beautifully brazen Mel B! Not only was Our Scary Spice the first Spice Girl to go solo - hello, No.1 smash 'I Want You Back' feat. Missy Elliott - but she also made so many big moves in television and music in this monumental era in the midst of the Spice Girls' biggest world tour and transition into a new R&B-flavoured sound with "Forever". Strap in because this episode takes you on a rollercoaster ride of pop culture from 1998 to 2001 in the world of Mel B (or Mel G!), through the whirlwind marriage and divorce, changes in Spice World, and motherhood. From Missy Elliott and Timbaland co-signs to "Austin Powers" soundtrack moments; Melanie B's building blocks of solo stardom as a British R&B artiste had a ton of promise. The "Hot" album also features Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis (Janet Jackson), Dru Hill, Sisqo, Teddy Riley (Michael Jackson) and "Glitter" hunk Max Beesley. We revisit the singles 'I Want You Back', 'Word Up', 'Tell Me', 'Feels So Good' and 'Lullaby', along with the music videos, live performances, promo and shenanigans along the way. This is Pop History 101. If you're wanting more Solo Spice action - check out our episodes celebrating Geri Halliwell's "Schizophonic", Victoria Beckham's debut solo album and Emma's "Free Me" album.

Number 2: Lost Girl Bands Vol. 3 - Fergie & Nicole Scherzinger's groups: Wild Orchid & Eden's Crush
Pop fans, get those lip liners and leather trousers ready because this girl group special is taking us to the 90s *and* early 2000s! We are celebrating Fergie and Nicole Scherzinger's original girl groups - Wild Orchid and Eden's Crush - in the first US edition of our 'Lost Girl Bands' series. Prepare for wall-to-wall diva vocals, killer harmonies and zesty tunes! Before Fergie and Scherzy became pop icons as part of the biggest selling groups of the 2000s - The Black Eyed Peas and Pussycat Dolls - they had quite a rollercoaster ride with their respective girl groups. 90s pop R&B trio Wild Orchid was made up of Stacey Ferguson, Stefanie Ridel and Renee Sandstrom. Think big diva vocals, 90s supermodel glam and fun hun energy. In 1997, their soulful pop banger 'Talk To Me' made them a force to be reckoned with in the US and abroad. The trio launched two albums "Wild Orchid" (with the singles 'At Night I Pray' and 'Supernatural') and "Oxygen" in the 90s, and also toured with Cher and N*Sync! In 2000, "Popstars" the reality TV sensation hit America and spawned the quintet Eden's Crush - produced by legendary hitmaker David Foster. Meet Ana Maria Lombo, Ivette Sosa, Maile Misajon, Nicole Scherzinger and Rosanna Tavarez. The 2001 debut album "Popstars" sold half a million in America and made No.6 on the Billboard 200, featuring the spicy Top 10 hit single 'Get Over Yourself'.

Stop, slow down, take a deep breath, pop fans! Before you go Out of Your Mind, we can confirm that what you see is what you get. We are finally doing a whole episode dedicated to Victoria Beckham's solo debut era, which launched 25 years ago this year. Your not-so-innocent pop explorers Joel and David are kicking off in the summer of 2000 with the monumental cultural shift that was Vicky B's UK Garage collab with Truesteppers and Dane Bowers, 'Out of Your Mind'. The whirlwind media saga, a nail-biting chart battle with Sophie Ellis-Bextor and Spiller ('Groovejet'), and a string of outstanding live performances from Party In The Park in Hyde Park to MTV in Mallorca... this set the bar extremely high for Posh Spice's solo debut in a midst of duelling Solo Spice releases and an actual Spice Girls comeback on the horizon! The episode also centres on the underrated 2001 "Victoria Beckham" album. A classy pop and R&B body of work made with some of the world's best songwriters and producers; the album gave us the Top 10 singles 'Not Such An Innocent Girl' and 'A Mind of Its Own'. We revisit the album tracks, music videos, visuals, live performances (hello, G-A-Y), photo shoot and b-sides! We look back at this incredibly intense period in David and Victoria Beckham's public lives - with TV documentaries, Victoria's memoir "Learning To Fly" and more keeping the public, media and pop fans fed. Dare we say, this is the most thorough and celebratory podcast episode dedicated to VB's solo career! And we can't wait for the Netflix documentary.

Number 5: Destiny's Child - "The Writing's On The Wall"
Thou shall get in the time machine! Ladies, fellas and non-binary friends leave your cares at home 'cause your favourite 2000s pop explorers Joel and David have arranged a date with Destiny. Somewhat coinciding with DC3's recent reunion at the Cowboy Carter Tour finale; we are back celebrating one of the most successful girl groups of our generation. Let's go back to 1999 - a time of cowboy hats, bandana tops and diamond belly rings - to revisit one of the best-selling R&B albums of our time, "The Writing's On The Wall". Not only was this a pivotal coming-of-age album and turning point for Beyoncé, Kelly, Letoya and Latavia's careers; it spawned a string of beloved hits that soundtracked the turn of the millennium like the GRAMMY-winning smash 'Say My Name', the chart-topper 'Bills, Bills, Bills' and bangers 'Bug A Boo' and 'Jumpin Jumpin'. We get into all the singles, music videos, photo shoots, Tina Knowles designs, fave album tracks and fun deep cuts (hello, Solange remix!). And chronicle what a whirlwind time of breakthrough success, dramatique line-up changes, and global presence it was for Destiny's Child! As always, much respect to ALL the ladies: Beyoncé, Kelly, Michelle, Letoya, Latavia, Farrah and obviously... The Matriarch, Ms Tina!
