Stop

Written by Victoria Beckham, Melanie Brown, Emma Bunton, Melanie C, Geri Halliwell, Andy Watkins, and Paul Wilson during the filming of Spice World, this dance-pop song with Motown and blue-eyed soul influences was released in March 1998. The music video, directed by James Brown and filmed in Ireland, features the Spice Girls in a 1960s working-class street playing children's games with young girls. The song peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart and number 16 on the Billboard Hot 100, ending their streak of six consecutive UK number-one singles.
