41.

Number 41 was one of the hugest hits by Spice Girls called 'Wannabe.' This was a launch vehicle and the release of their first song and video at the same time. One day nobody knew who they were and the next everyone knew them. This was filmed in 1996 and launched onto an unexpecting audience. Simon Fuller had put them together, manufacturing them making sure they all looks different and represented something completely different. They couldn't sing however it was all about their image and being individuals. They each had a different stage name.
Ginger Spice, Scary Spice, Baby Spice, Sporty Spice and Posh Spice.

It was filmed in a derelict building all in one take, so each time one of them made a mistake they would have to start refilming from the beginning. This video introduces all five members however Posh Spice was barely in the video. This is because Fuller was dubious about Victoria Beckham due to her inability to sing or dance the most out of all five. The video represents girl power and energy and the video was released to make it become a huge hit. The song became number one and all the young girls were fans.
