The Yoto Player, the award-winning interactive audio platform for kids, has expanded its music library to include the Spice Girls: Greatest Hits, marking the platform’s first-ever release of a girl band album. This addition celebrates Yoto’s ongoing collaboration with Universal Music Group (UMG), the world leader in music-based entertainment. Available as a Yoto Card for £11.99 on yotoplay.com, this iconic release brings the beloved tracks of the Spice Girls to a new generation of listeners. London Mums’ tester Laura, mum of 2 year old Kevin, shared her enthusiastic review of the card, highlighting how the timeless hits like Wannabe and Spice Up Your Life captivate both young and older fans alike. “The infectious beats and empowering lyrics make this a must-have for family listening,” Laura noted, emphasising how parents who grew up in the 90s can share a piece of their youth with their children. “I am glad I can pass my passion for Beatles and Queen through to my son with Yoto Player”, she added.
The legacy of the Spice Girls
The Spice Girls remain the most successful female group in history, with over 100 million records sold globally. Their influence transcends music, inspiring movements in culture, fashion, and female empowerment. Emerging as a pop culture phenomenon in the 1990s, they became known for their colourful personas – Scary, Sporty, Baby, Ginger, and Posh Spice – and their rallying cry of “Girl Power,” which resonated with millions around the world. This album includes 14 tracks that span their remarkable career, from chart-toppers like Say You’ll Be There to heartfelt ballads like 2 Become 1.
A milestone in Yoto’s partnership with Universal Music Group
The release of Spice Girls: Greatest Hits reflects Yoto’s growing collaboration with UMG, which began with an industry-first agreement in 2023. This partnership has already seen the launch of other legendary titles, including The Beatles: 1962-1966 (Yoto Edition) and Legend: The Best of Bob Marley and the Wailers. UMG continues to expand Yoto’s catalogue with both timeless classics and contemporary hits, ensuring rich, diverse content for young listeners.
“Adding the greatest hits from the Spice Girls to our music collection is an exciting milestone for Yoto,” said Dom Hodge, Yoto’s Head of Music and Sound. “We’re thrilled to offer iconic tracks from one of the most influential girl groups of all time, enabling budding music lovers to enjoy the vibrant sounds and empowering messages of the Spice Girls.”
Empowering generations through music
“For many parents, the Spice Girls were synonymous with 90s pop culture,” said Sarah Boorman, General Manager of Youth Strategies at Universal Music UK. “We’re thrilled to give these lifelong fans the opportunity to share unforgettable anthems like Wannabe and Stop with their children, fostering connections through music.”
By integrating iconic artists like the Spice Girls into their collection, Yoto aims to create a bridge between generations. The platform allows children to explore music through its screen-free audio players while fostering a love for creative, inspiring, and family-friendly content.
