Top 10 Best Girl Groups of All Time
Girls' Generation, also known as SNSD, is a South Korean girl group that debuted in 2007. The current lineup includes Taeyeon, Sunny, Tiffany, Hyoyeon, Yuri, Sooyoung, Yoona, and Seohyun. Jessica left the group in 2014... read more They've seriously won a lot of awards, being the first girl group to conquer a male-dominated industry. They became one of the top groups, garnering a massive fan base. It's unbelievable. They even know Katy Perry. Whenever they release a new song, it always tops the iTunes charts.
Their fans span across the globe, in countries like Singapore, Malaysia, France, LA, America, and many others. They're just perfect. They have the best personalities. Us fans know them inside out, and they love us as much as we love them. Their concerts are always packed with fans.
They are just perfect in so many ways. I recommend you guys find out more about them.
TLC is an American girl group whose original members were Tionne "T-Boz" Watkins, Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, and Rozonda "Chilli" Thomas. They achieved fame in the 1990s with hits like "Waterfalls" and "No Scrubs." TLC became one of the best-selling girl groups of all time. I have so much love for TLC. The reason is that they were unique with their sound, style, and music, but they were also relatable. The songs they made always had a message or story behind them, whether it was from their personal life or someone else's (e.g., Ain't 2 Proud 2 Beg, Waterfalls, No Scrubs, American Gold (from their latest self-titled album in case you didn't know)).
Whenever girl groups or sometimes artists are asked about who inspired them, TLC would be one of a few names that always pop up regarding originality. These responses are not only from groups and artists in the US but also from other countries such as Japan, South Korea, and the UK. From what they have achieved and overcome, TLC has been the blueprint that other groups after them take and follow.
Despite the fact that Left Eye isn't here anymore, T-Boz and Chilli are keeping the legacy alive as well as her presence through their live performances. Though they released their final studio album last year, TLC is not splitting up and is performing for fun and for their fans. As they always say, TLC is FOREVER!
Destiny's Child was an American girl group whose final and best-known line-up comprised Beyoncé Knowles, Kelly Rowland, and Michelle Williams. The group achieved mainstream success in the late 1990s and early 2000s with hits such as Say My Name and Survivor. They officially disbanded in 2006. They have a variety of songs from meaninglessly catchy to very deep. For example, "Check On It" is super catchy and just makes you want to get up and dance! Yet, "Say My Name" is powerful.
Their voices sound incredible together, and they have awesome lyrics! "AUTOMOBILLS."
How can Destiny's Child be ranked below Little Mix? Are you MAD?!
I like Destiny's Child and Fifth Harmony. They were also on Sesame Street.
The Spice Girls are an English pop girl group formed in 1994. The group consists of Emma Bunton (Baby Spice), Melanie Chisholm (Sporty Spice), Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice), Melanie Brown (Scary Spice), and Geri Halliwell (Ginger Spice)... read more I don't understand why everyone is voting for K-pop girl groups when most can't even comprehend the language. This is about the best of all time, not just the 21st century. Before there was SNSD or K-pop in general, there were groups like the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child.
English is the most spoken language in the world, so almost everyone can actually understand what we're saying. I know some people enjoy listening to languages they can't understand because it sounds awesome, even though the song might be silly if you knew the lyrics.
Besides, Spice Girls and Destiny's Child were number one before we even knew K-pop existed.
Yes, I like some K-pop groups, but let's be real. Can they create history worldwide if people don't understand what they're saying? Unless obsessed fans try to learn Korean to comprehend the lyrics.
The Supremes were an American female singing group and the premier act of Motown Records during the 1960s. They became one of the best‑selling girl groups in history, featuring Diana Ross as lead singer. Their string of hits like Where Did Our Love Go and Baby Love helped define the Motown sound and... read more The Supremes are the gold standard by which all groups have been measured since the 1960s and '70s. Their music is timeless.
I totally agree that the Jean Terrell years were some of the best. This girl can sing, not just sing, but really sing!
Where can you find another set of four biological sisters who can sing, dance, rap, execute a whistle note, and harmonize perfectly anywhere on the planet? Aside from their amazing talent, professionalism, and unbreakable bond, they are rare gems. Their faith and love of family are as big as their dreams.
Dreamers admire them not only for their talent but also for their devotion to their Christian faith, to their family, and to their craft. Their mentality of excellence, hard work, and perseverance in pursuing their dreams is admirable. They don't just entertain. They inspire people. They are the embodiment of the phrase "Never give up on your dreams."
Little Mix is a British girl group formed in 2011. The group originally consisted of Jade Thirlwall, Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson. Jesy Nelson left the group in 2020, and the remaining trio continued performing and releasing music until their hiatus in 2022. Little Mix are my role models. In all their songs, they don't use autotune, and when they sing live, they sound exactly like they do in the studio. Their performances are always on point, and these amazing, beautiful women stun everyone by singing and dancing simultaneously.
Moreover, they are extremely kind and down-to-earth. They care about their fans, like me, and definitely put effort into their songs. Every one of their songs has a meaningful message that really touches the heart. Through their music, they send an overall message to find love, but especially to love and accept your amazing, weird self.
Little Mix definitely deserves a lot more credit because they give their best, and it shows to all of their fans.
Fifth Harmony was an American girl group based in Miami. The group was composed of Ally Brooke, Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane, Lauren Jauregui, and Camila Cabello, who left the group on December 18, 2016... read more Fifth Harmony is the best girl group in the world. They sing and dance during their performances on concert tours and events across the country, but they also perform in other places around the world. Their singing voices are so beautiful and melodious, complemented by their dance moves that entertain audiences on stage.
In addition to their performances, they express their self-esteem and share their thoughts on exterior appearances. They advocate for beliefs like being real, free, brave, and confident within themselves, offering inspiring perspectives. They are beautiful and natural, with their hot exotic looks.
They are the most unique and far better than any other girl groups like them. Fifth Harmony's "Work From Home" became the girl group's first top 10 single. I'm proud of these five girls, and they should be at the top of the list as the #1 best girl group. Proud to be a Harmonizer, and I'm going to keep listening to their songs forever in my heart.
The Saturdays are a British-Irish girl group formed in 2007, comprising Una Healy, Mollie King, Frankie Sandford, Rochelle Humes, and Vanessa White. They scored their first and only UK number-one single with "What About Us" in 2013. To date, the group has released nineteen singles and four studio albums,... read more The Saturdays are the best girl group because they embody the entire package. They are all gorgeous, full of spunk and character. Besides, they are incredibly talented. They can sing, dance, and write their own tunes. They're also credible musicians, with two members, Una and Mollie, even playing their own instruments.
Some of the B-sides they wrote, like I Can't Wait, Not That Kinda Girl, and So Stupid, are, in my opinion, actually better than some of the tracks that made it onto their albums but weren't written by them. May we continue to hear more from The Saturdays for years to come!
The Newcomers
The Pussycat Dolls are an American girl group formed in Los Angeles, California, in 1995. They began as a burlesque troupe and later transitioned into a music group. The group gained major popularity in the mid-2000s with chart-topping hits such as "Don't Cha" and "Buttons."... read more They accomplished so much in so little time! They sold 15 million albums and 40 million singles in just a few years. Love them!
I think that they are the best because even though they only made two albums, they are still considered one of the best of all time. They accomplished so much in so little time!
15 million albums and 40 million singles sold in just a few years. Love them!
Girls Aloud was an English-Irish pop girl group created through the ITV talent show Popstars: The Rivals in 2002. The group comprised Nadine Coyle, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini, Sarah Harding, Nicola Roberts and Kimberley Walsh. They achieved widespread success with multiple chart-topping singles and platinum... read more I think they should easily be 1st! To be perfectly honest, Girls Aloud were the band of the decade and still are. It doesn't matter if they have broken up because one thing remains: dedicated Alouders who continue to spread love, support, and unite together to celebrate the success, the drive, and the love from these five gorgeous girls.
How on earth are they below The Saturdays, who are good but not special? Nadine is awesome. They have loads of talent and top ten singles. I know they have split, but they will always be remembered.
Atomic Kitten is an English pop girl group formed in Liverpool in 1998. The group originally gained fame in the early 2000s with hit singles such as Whole Again and The Tide Is High (Get the Feeling). The current members are Liz McClarnon and Natasha Hamilton, and they have continued to perform together... read more They look so amazing! Love the talented ones!
They are so much better than the others.
En Vogue - good songs, great harmonies, beautiful talented ladies. Enough said!
Salt-N-Pepa is an American hip hop trio from Queens, New York. The group, consisting of Cheryl James (Salt), Sandra Denton (Pepa), and originally Latoya Hanson (replaced by Deidra Roper, also known as DJ Spinderella), was formed in 1985. They are considered trailblazers as one of the first all-female... read more Salt-N-Pepa...wow...they were and still are the most powerful female rap group ever to demand respect, especially in the beginning when rap was such a male-dominated game. Hands down for the queens from Queens.
The Pointer Sisters should be ranked either #1 or #2. Their voices are incredible, both together and solo. The harmonies are unbelievable, and the leads are very strong. They have covered many different types of music - pop, dance, R&B, jazz, country - and all have been done extremely well.
They also sound great live, as someone who has seen them six times can attest! Both critically and commercially successful (just check out the multi-platinum Break Out from 1984), in my opinion, The Pointer Sisters just cannot be beaten.
Hands down the most vocally talented and diverse female group ever. Their harmonies were incredible. They basically had four lead singers and had gold and platinum hits with each sister singing lead.
They could sing jazz, funk, country, pop, or rock. YouTube them. Their rehearsal videos are better than most of today's female vocalists.
The Sugababes are an English girl group formed in 1998 by Siobhán Donaghy, Mutya Buena, and Keisha Buchanan. The group has undergone several lineup changes over the years. Despite this, they have released multiple successful albums and are considered one of the most successful British girl groups of... read more Even though over the years each of the original members left, until the final album had three entirely different members, they were ironically more of a group and less of a product than most other girl groups. Ever since, girl groups and boy bands have been seen as the ultimate product of the pop industry, and often rightfully so: a bunch of attractive people who sing songs that were specifically written for them by a bunch of producers, have nice and easily listenable voices, and don't show much personality. But the Sugababes were different.
Not only did they write all their songs themselves, but they also stood for more aware lyrics and often even had a twist in there. They were feminist, sang that they could live a fulfilled life even without a man ("Hole in the Head"), and they embraced their own "flaws" ("Ugly"). Even if they made more sexual songs, it's always about how the guys have to make sure that they are pleased as women, not the other way around ("Easy"). It always feels as if they are ahead of the game.
What I mean is: they had personality, and ultimately, it was their music. I am stunned they are not higher considering the many big hits and the relevance they had before breaking up.
2NE1 was a South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment in 2009. The group originally consisted of Bom, Dara, CL, and Minzy, who departed in 2016 before the group officially disbanded later that year. Known for their edgy image and genre-blending music, 2NE1 became one of the most influential... read more 2NE1 had the best and most memorable debut. They broke the mold set by K-pop for girl groups, emerging as the most badass group that sings about women's empowerment and setting the bar high. Their voices and styles are so unique that no one else can compare to them.
This distinctiveness works for them because it made people take notice, and now other girl groups are following in 2NE1's footsteps (or trying to, anyway). Their songs consistently topped the charts, and I believe they are still the number one girl group with the most digital sales in K-pop.
And their live performances? Absolutely sickening. Flawless. Besides BIGBANG, no other group can put on a show like 2NE1. It's magical. They are the best.
The Runaways were an American all-female rock band that recorded and performed from 1975 to 1979. The group included key members such as Joan Jett, Cherie Currie, Lita Ford, Sandy West, and Jackie Fox. Although short-lived, they became a significant influence on later female rock musicians. They're better than the girl-power-pop that's up above them. I think that's all I really need to say. If you're not voting for them because you haven't heard them, go listen to "Cherry Bomb" on YouTube. I'm sure it'll change your opinion.
The Runaways is undoubtedly the best female band ever! Maybe they didn't last too long, but "Cherry Bomb" and "I Love Playing With Fire" are my favorite songs. Vote for them!
The creators of female punk! Love them. They deserve to be in the top ten because they started girl bands.
The Saturdays are ranked higher than The Runaways. What is happening?
BLACKPINK is a South Korean girl group formed by YG Entertainment, consisting of members Jisoo, Jennie, Rosé, and Lisa. They debuted in August 2016 with the single album Square One.

The Shirelles were an American girl group notable for their rhythm and blues, doo-wop, and soul music. They gained popularity in the early 1960s with hits like Will You Love Me Tomorrow and Soldier Boy. The group was one of the first major girl groups and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of... read more
