Melanie C

With over 100 million records sold, Melanie C is one of the most successful female musicians of the 1990s. She was a member of the iconic girl band the Spice Girls, who topped the charts with catchy tunes such as Wannabe, Stop and Spice Up Your Life. Melanie Chisholm, otherwise known as Melanie C, or Sporty Spice, has had an incredible influence on music and pop culture. After the girl group broke up, she launched a successful solo career as Melanie C.

The British woman has been fascinated by show business since she was very small. So, at the age of 16, she moved away from home to continue her dance training in London. During this time, she picked up a flyer for an audition for an all-girl vocal group. The casting changed her life. Within two years, she had two consecutive number 1 albums, eight number 1 singles and the fastest-selling debut single of all time with the Spice Girls. Her debut solo album, Northern Star, released in 1999, was awarded seven platinum and three gold discs internationally and sold over four million copies worldwide. She charted with singles such as Never Be The Same Again and I Turn To You. Her song First Day Of My Life was at number 1 in the Swiss charts for 57 weeks.
