MAJOR MAESTRO: Greatest Girl Groups of All Time

Attention!!!

A girl group is a music act featuring several hot/sexy/beautiful teenage girls or those in their early twenties who generally harmonize together. Whilst it is clear that looks and talents are not enough to end up in a girl group you need that star quality identity which their domineering managers and publicists can exploit in marketing them. Of course the first wave of girl groups hit the music scene in the late 1950s and early 1960s between the decline of early rock and roll and the British Invasion many of whom were influenced by doo-wop style. The next tide came in during the late 90s with the next best thing after The Beatles hitting the pop world by storm, the Spice Girls.

Whilst taking the crown as the best girl group of all time, they are definitely unbeaten in all their records from the best-selling female group of all time to the best-selling single and album by a female group of all time as well. Although short-lived probably due to the inability to handle that much success Scary, Baby, Ginger, Posh and Sporty parted ways in 2000. It appears that girl groups do tend to have a shorter lifespan than boy bands, probably due to girls being unable to stick together for long than guys. Pop is definitely the genre of the girl groups with R&B and Hip-Hop also in the fray. Girl groups have also set the stage for some of their members who went solo and became a global success. The success stories of Melanie B, Beyonce, Diana Ross, Nicole Scherzinger, Hyuna and Cheryl Cole are all examples of how these stars reaped the benefits of their post girl group days. In the recent past there has been another tide of girl groups coming in with groups such as The Saturdays, Little Mix, Neon Jungle and G.R.L. all gaining worldwide recognition and success. So here are the Best 50 Girl Groups of All Time.
