Top 10 Girl Group Members That Made It Big Solo

They made their mark as part of a group and rose further into super-stardom by exhibiting a name for themselves going solo. Welcome to MsMojo, and today we’re counting down our picks for the top ten girl group members that made it big solo. Subscribe►►kzbin.info?sub_c... Facebook►► / mswatchmojo Twitter►► / mswatchmojo Instagram►► / mswatchmojo Snapchat ►► / mswatchmojo
For this list, we’re looking at former or current members of girl bands who’ve expanded their musical catalogue by launching successful solo careers, while remaining with or departing the band completely. That said, despite their solo efforts we are not including female members of bands consisting of members from both genders, such as Gwen Stefani from No Doubt.

[@Nina-no8qj]

I mean I knew Beyoncé was gonna be #1 but I’m surprised that the list included KPOP

[@starlightbae4473]

sameeeee

[@lovebite4748]

Same, happy they did though!

[@maddj888]

me too

[@svenblu7776]

Well, it's hard to miss them out because... they are home to hundred of girl groups that succeeded in their own country, the continent and worldwide.

[@JamesJL]

KPOP would have their own list though. There are so many more than CL, HyunA and Hyori now and even at the time of writing of this list. There's Taeyeon, Sunmi, Hyorin, Soyou, Gain etc... But because of the way that this particular industry works, if you're part of a group, rarely do you get pushed in your solo activities. For example, Girls' Generation isn't as active as they were previously that's why Taeyeon pushes forward in her solo career now, Sunmi had two solos which were huge ass hits and a few features prior to Wonder Girls' disbandment but her main focus was Wonder Girls' and her education when she was on hiatus etc... Rarely do are there celebrities out there like HyunA who WERE the prime focus. 4Minute were basically the Korean version of modern-day girl groups where the focus was solely on HyunA because she was ex-Wonder Girls, blew up with Bubble Pop and then joined hands with PSY for Gangnam Style which blew her up even more. In the end, it became HyunA and the girls because 4Minute barely promoted and HyunA was just everywhere.

[@bandgeek89]

I never knew Fergie, Pink, or Missy Elliott were in a girl group. EDIT: and no, Black Eyed Peas does not count

[@A_J___]

I knew the two were in girl groups(I recognized Fergie when she debuted in the Black Eyed Peas from a karaoke show she used to host with her group Wild Orchid in the early 2000's called "The Great Pretenders" ) and I watched the VH1 Behind the Music special on Pink which is the only way I knew she was in a group but I genuinely didn't know Missy was in a group before and actually singing not being the rapper!

+Jessica Tucker No US money worth less now than back then.

[@LamarVahnoi]

Venusius Actually, it's worth more or less if you mean exchange rates, but everything else is so expensive you have to spend more to get it. For instance if you turn American Dollars into Pesos today it's $8. Back in 2009 it was $3. something. However, in pounds that dollar doesn't even make a pound. So, I guess it's all about how you look at it.

10. Excuse me, but don’t forget Eden’s Crush. 9. Catchy music! 8. Fergie’s voice in Wild Orchid absolutely stunned me. She totally transformed the Black Eyed Peas. 7. Ditto with Pink in Choice. She’s a great pop/rock singer, but also an awesome R&B vocalist. 6. Either I didn’t know or forgot Missy Elliott was in a girl group. Did I just hear Timbaland in the first song? 5. Did she spoof Gangnam Style?! 😮 4. YES!!! PATTI is on the list! 👏🏾 3. Joan Jett is a trailblazer. 👍🏾👍🏾 2. I’ll be honest, I didn’t think of 60s/70s bands as boy bands and girl groups, but to agree with Mojo, Diana Ross and the Supremes definitely paved the way. Honorable Mentions: You can’t make this list without Belinda Carlisle and Kelly Rowland. Wait, where’s Left Eye and Michelle Williams?! 🤔 1. If they didn’t place Beyoncé at the top...she is an ICON. 👍🏾👍🏾🎉

Despite debuted in 2000s, she managed to transitioned well into the streaming, videos and social media eras once being most followed celeb on Insta. Even bigger achievements, she performed at Inauguration, Superbowl (4 times inlcuding national anthem), Glastonbury(first female in 20 years), Coachella etc.

[@mvssbelladonna]

you don’t understand how happy i was when seeing hyori, hyuna and cl-

[@Menhiria]

I'm sorry but Mel C is way more famous than Gerri Halliwell and her solo career was better !!! :) :)

[@FLdancer00]

Maybe where u live.

[@osahju914]

Mel B too

[@acasfs001]

@@FLdancer00 i would bet that what Menhiria said is the case of at least the uk and most of europe, especially if you look at record sales, so un less it has "in the usa" in the name mel c should be the honorable mention

[@gingerspice6866]

Okk.?!

[@richardclement2714]

4 real geri halliwell tried to ride off the pink pound and flopped cos the bitch is untalented and coming on rupaul drag race UK trying to get a look in

[@kashishyadav1737]

Beyonce is recognised as a Songwriter **i laughed so hard !

[@rossdimmock1]

Brandon Calvilo she changes a word so she can claim songwriting credentials. It is well known.

[@rossdimmock1]

... yes but you were making an argument saying she was a songwriter as she won an award for it... you have now agreed with me in that comment that she wasn’t a songwriter in that long message. I didn’t say there was anything wrong with a pop star not writing their own music but it’s not ok to claim someone else’s work is theirs to receive profits (not saying that’s Beyonce specifically). You just defended and supported my point.

[@rossdimmock1]

Brandon Calvilo ok put it this way “hold up” has 14 songwriters who contributed to it and even then a heavy load of the lyrics the actual “hold up they don’t love you like a love you” was taken from Yeah Yeah Yeahs “maps”. For one song, when even they actual chorus was largely adapted by an original song. All these people including bey put a line in and then can claim credentials. 14 songwriters for one song. Most singers do it. Another Example, stars buy songs from songwriters: Elvis Presley wanted one of Dolly Partons songs but she has full rights to them as she doesn’t sell them, even though he didn’t write the song he wanted 50% ownership of it and she declined. However she allowed Whitney Houston to sing her song as she didn’t ask for ownership of the lyrics. However their is no point in discussing with you as you are one of these fans who can not fault their stars and actually hinder them as you are blind to allowing yourself to give them constructive Criticism. In no way have I not said Beyonce is talented. I was just pointing out a common songwriting fact.

[@dosewithdeangelo2957]

okay lets talk bey. Before lemonade Beyonce wrote all her music, yes she had a little help in her self titled album but she does write her own lyrics.. Just because you see someones name under her song as a credit doesn't mean that they wrote the lyrics. They my have just worked on production and arrangement.

[@Chitownhomestead]

Excatly

[@edro51188]

And to absolutely NO ONE'S surprise, Queen Bey is #1.

[@ashleykwonstanhillariousda1306]

Thx for the insight

[@ievabelodedova1999]

Nicoleee Scherzinger❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@haileymo8117]

LOVE her ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@KCG2623]

Above Nicole should of been; Cheryl, Mel C, Geri, Kelly, Emma and more.

[@AlainBruno]

Beyonce and Fergie!!

[@merdesh2402]

Beyonce is the Queeeeeen

[@miguellet6034]

and Nicole from PCD ;)

[@arianacollymore7091]

+Mailin winder that's not a nice thing to say about yourself

[@formealyour]

Arella Collymore lol

[@therealtracysson]

Y'all should've mentioned that Nicole Scherzinger was a member of Eden's Crush first....Also love should've been shown to Sevyn Streeter and Mila J!!!!

[@brendaflo764]

Finally one right! Love Queen B And Ms Ross the Boss is my idol

[@immhd3558]

CL in honorable mentions is enough for me since she didnt have a solo album yet .

[@by_toffie]

I'm so glad that they added foreign acts like Lee Hyori and Hyuna.

[@aleksanderkrentosz435]

I'm so impressed that you not only included Dawn in the end but also a lot of k-pop icons like CL, Lee Hyori & Hyuna

[@picklesosiris6611]

You need to do #2 for this!! 👌👌💚💚

[@Andrew-mj2oi]

We all know Bey was put above Diana cause mojo is too afraid of the beehive

[@jhanellecoombs9840]

lmao true af🐝🐝

[@nkechi1964]

Diana Ross should have been #1 and Beyonce 2nd I anint scared of no Beehive lol Diana set the tone for all them chicks lol

[@shpptgames]

True, as I was watching this I was literally thinking if Bey is not first I'm not watching the rest of this video, so I had to check.

[@Andrew-mj2oi]

+MizzReyRey Actually Bey has yet to surpass Diana. They are similar with sales, except Diana has more album sales, Diana has been inducted into the Rock and Roll hall of Fame, Diana has becaome a household name for 3 generations, and she has stayed relevant since her debut. Also Bey hasnt had a #1 single in almost 10 years. So no, Beyonce has yet to surpass Diana Ross in success. And may I point out that Beyonce has said several times she looks up to Diana Ross. Diana Ross also did it first.

[@Kevin-rg3yc]

Andrew Smith true Diana Ross started the girl group to solo superstar trend for Beyonce and others

[@BartAwesome1]

Nicole didn't make it big

[@issacbollers7435]

LOL

[@ilovebabyyoda712]

She tried without the girls a couple of times but it didn't work lol.

[@Energypoints23]

that's what I said

[@CameronSWhitelaw]

pepper play!

[@ej44026]

+Amanda W. she has had succesful singles and has been on broadway.

[@transhilbert]

Nicole was actually the only one singing in the pussycat dolls, not the other girls in the group.

[@n0vemberm00n]

I had no idea Pink was in a band !!

[@abiikr4773]

What of Toni braxton (not sure if her group counts..?)

[@100Stratusfiedx]

Technically no. Mainly because LA Reid signed Toni by herself. However she's always sang with her sisters.

[@A_J___]

But the Braxtons (all 5 sisters) had an album though...then Toni went Solo!

[@MHBarnhill]

Tamar would've been more accurate.

[@taronjordan5894]

M H Barnhill No

[@simsimshci]

Hyuna better be on this is list, and if she isn't I'm gonna be pissed

[@simsimshci]

YEEEEEEESSS , WHO PROUDDD!! SHE'S THE REASON I LISTEN TO KPOP ❤

[@helalh222]

lol

[@qelipq-6383]

Byun Baekhyun Stan kpopper's we finally get some recognition for our queens

[@Itjusthappened0]

Who is hyuna?

[@boybye7986]

The supremes yassssss😍😍😍😍

[@SailorSpears]

You forgot Britney! Britney was in a band called Innosense that was formed in 1997 but she decided to go solo because being in a group wasn't for her and then she became the legend that she is! It's also a shame that you didn't put Melanie C in the top 10, she's the most successful Solo Spice Girl and had the best solo career and record sales among all Spice Girls.

[@tiffprendergast]

Yup

[@100Stratusfiedx]

Patti and Beyonce are my favs !

[@marvinleach20]

I low key thought that I was going to see Lauryn Hill on here

[@TheSEXYARIES324]

Dexter Dickens right

[@bestman2k955]

Solo women who were part of mixed gender groups were not eligible, otherwise Gwen Stefani would have been on this list.

[@Kenzaaa123]

Who?

[@ardonitron2871]

Kenzi Renee Lauryn Hill. If you’ve listen to drake, he sampled her song “Ex-Factor” in his song “Nice For What”

[@Kenzaaa123]

ツArdonitron oh. Idk who that is but that’s fun?

[@johnmarkperez713]

Yup I actually agree with that specially in Beyonce and CL of 2NE1 although I've never heard that Fergie and P!nk were actually Girl Group members before

[@jaissapierce4057]

Nice list but as for spice girls I think you should have put mel c not ginger. Mel C was the best singer in that group by miles. She also has 7 solo albums and a few numbers 1. And she is in the top 3 for British artist for writing music. She’s had a way more successful career in the music business then ginger and she was far more talented too.

[@RollsRoyce09]

When they showed Kelly I was like " number 1 better be Beyoncé " lol

[@ayeayeronmolay3699]

Pink is so underrated ❤️ love her

[@jugg4lo759]

Thank you for including hyuna hyori and cl💓💓

[@cindystarling7401]

Freaking awesome love these girls

[@SarahRylee]

Really happy you included a rock artist!!!!

[@tidalthrills]

As of 2019, Camila Cabello DESERVES a spot on this list

[@AhniyaSims]

Noah Brown yeah she really does

[@jordanhaller8973]

Considering she had one of the biggest songs of the decade, should’ve been at least top 5

[@AhniyaSims]

Jordan Haller IKR

[@Neesh_gh]

Noah Brown normani is about to take that spot

[@aazeen4906]

Ikr

[@phuongminhlenguyen3280]

cl is only ''honourable mention''?

[@dwaynedanielsii5905]

Minh Phuong if she would have released that album I was promised back in 2015 it would be more than an "honorable mention"

[@slanis]

You can be happy that's she's on the list.... Lol. She has done nothing worth mentioning after Badest female.

[@gretaexojongdaetwicejeongy4857]

Yg made her fail :/
