Not Melanie C. Since the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.theguardian.com\/music\/spicegirls\" data-link-name=\"in body link\" data-component=\"auto-linked-tag\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Spice Girls<\/a> debuted 30 years ago this summer (What\u2019s that sound?

Led by its gauntlet-throwing title track, these are work-bitch bangers for the gym, the dancefloor \u2013 inspired by her pre-Spice raving youth \u2013 and quite possibly the bedroom, sung by a triathlon fiend who forged a reputation as a world-renowned DJ.<\/p>\n<p class=\"dcr-130mj7b\">You can ask Melanie about her solo career \u2013 she\u2019s the only Spice Girl still making music \u2013 or anything else when she sits for the Guardian\u2019s reader interview.
