The Complete Album Story

"Forever" is the third studio album by the English girl group the Spice Girls, released on 1 November 2000 by Virgin Records. This album marked the group's first without Geri Halliwell, who had departed earlier. Despite reaching number two on the UK Albums Chart, it became their only studio album not to top the charts in the UK. It was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). In the US, the album peaked at number 39 on the Billboard 200, significantly lower than their previous successes.

The lead single, a double A-side featuring "Holler" and "Let Love Lead the Way", debuted at number one on the UK Singles Chart, marking the group's ninth number one single there. The album also included their 1998 Christmas single "Goodbye". Other tracks from the album, such as "Tell Me Why", "Weekend Love", and "If You Wanna Have Some Fun", were released as promotional singles with varying degrees of success.

"Forever" sold over two million copies worldwide, which, while commercially successful, was considered a disappointment compared to their earlier albums "Spice" and "Spiceworld".
