Yoto Expands Music Library to Include Spice Girls

Yoto has announced the addition of “Spice Girls: Greatest Hits” to its music library, marking another step in its partnership with Universal Music Group (UMG).

The card brings infectious beats from the British band to Yoto families around the world. Hits include  “Wannabe,” a rallying cry for girl power and friendship and the feel-good anthem “Spice Up Your Life,” from the group’s second album.

Formed in 1994, the Spice Girls are the biggest female group of all time, with worldwide record sales of more than 100 million. Emma, Geri, Mel B, Melanie C and Victoria – aka Baby, Ginger, Scary, Sporty and Posh Spice – spearheaded their own rise to chart dominance with their infectious pop sound and bold “Girl Power!” philosophy, changing the face of music and inspiring a generation of artists and fans.

This launch follows several Yoto releases in partnership with UMG since inking an agreement in August 2023, including “The Beatles: 1962-1966” (Yoto Edition), “Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers” and original songs from the soundtracks of “Frozen” and “Encanto.” More music from Disney as well as new artists never seen on Yoto before will be released in collaboration with UMG within the coming months.

“Adding the greatest hits from the Spice Girls to our music collection is an exciting milestone for Yoto,” says Dom Hodge, head of music and sound, Yoto. “We’re thrilled to make iconic ‘90s hits from one of the most influential music groups of all time accessible to budding music lovers globally. We can’t wait for young listeners to discover the joy and vibrancy that shines through the Spice Girls discography.”
