Royal Mail honoring Spice Girls

Spice up your mail. Royal Mail is dedicating a set of 15 special stamps to one of the most successful pop groups in music history: the Spice Girls.

With more than 100 million records sold, the Spice Girls are one of the most successful British bands in music history. Now they have set another record. It is the first time that the Royal Mail has dedicated an entire stamp issue to a female pop group.

The Spice Girls are also only the sixth music group to be given their own stamp issue - after the Beatles, Pink Floyd, Queen, the Rolling Stones and Iron Maiden.

The stamps honoring the band's 30th anniversary will go on general sale on January 11.
