SPICE OF
LIFE

This little
snippet was in this weeks TV Week in
Australia (from Molly Meldrum):
I was in London recently
and, let me tell you, the Spice Girls are
huge!
They beat Bananarama and
Eternal to become the first all girl
British group to top the UK charts.
And now they've done it
twice.
The Spice Girls debut
single, "Wannabe", topped the
British charts for seven weeks, keeping
both Robbie Williams and George Michael
out of the number one spot.
And just as Wannabe went
to #1 in Australia, the Spice Girls'
second single, "Say You'll Be
There", made it's debut at number
one in the UK.
Their album, Spice, is now
expected to ba a huge christmas seller.
The girls are hoping to
come to Australia for a promotional tour
in February.
