I will always argue that Bananarama is one of the most significant pop groups of the late twentieth century, because the group so often captured the zeitgeist and blazed its way through trends. First the girls were punkettes, then New Pop pop tarts, then High Energy disco divas, then post-eighties dance club stars. They were also a sign of things to come, because they were so damn beautiful and glamorous -- they raised the bar for attractiveness in the music industry, which was only met by the mid 2000s, when dance music reclaimed world domination and the nineties contempt for glamor and flash had completely faded away. I am not arguing that Bananarama's significance was always, or even in any way, a good thing, but it was as it was. Give the girls the credit they are due.

One of the toughest things about joining an established Group is that they are so used to certain members always being together that when someone new comes in, the magic is gone. Cindy Birdsong of The Supremes can vouch for that. Also, look at TLC, they never replaced Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes because they know deep in their heart that she made the group the success story and not them.

Lisa left Eye Lopes died so it was more personal than that Siobhan didn't and the girls did not really wanna replace her either the record company pushed it I mean Jacquie was ok but she wasn't Siobhan

I solely agree with what Kim Wilde said

Yet Kim Wilde had an even bigger fu-ck off attitude than all three of them. Why couldn't they embrace their pop star stardom being lucky, and look like they were enjoying themselves.

Love Bananarama,, but I don't know where this most charted girl group of all time stuff info came from.. The Supremes & The Andrew Sisters are the most Charted Girl groups in the world & of All time.. Supremes had at lover 45 charted hits all over the world,, and in the United States alone, "The Supremes" had 13 #1s, and over 20 Top 10 hits.. "The Andrews", had 90 hit records, and over 25 of them were top 10 hits & Maybe they meant in Europe,, United Kingdom, Banarama was most charted girl group. They were,, are,, a fun & nice looking group to listen to. But they don't come any where Close to The Supremes or The Andrew Sisters legacies.. No put down intended.. They even covered "The 70s Supremes, Mary Wilson's" million seller,, Nathan Jones!, That was a nice surprise at the time.

A bit unfair to compare a British/Irish group with American groups. The reach and opportunity is nearly always wider in America. Bananarama did very well starting out with nothing in the 80's. Their success and plaudits are well deserved

@@Shane-Flanagan That's true but, listening to their interviews and going on their history, they had real steel as well and worked hard when they found their feet. They were bolshy and didn't take crap and were self-directing and creative, direct and honest, especially with the visual side. Keren, in particular, is very articulate in interviews, and, basically, I think they had a lot of intelligence, and they were like a lot of people who did interesting and brilliant things, British art school products. They were also absolutely spot on with basic feminism.
