Career

1994–2000: Spice Girls

{{Main|Spice Girls}}

In 1994, Chisholm, along with Mel B, Geri Halliwell, and Victoria Beckham responded to an advertisement in The Stage magazine.[13] Around 400 women who answered the ad went to Dance Works studios. Halliwell, Chisholm, Beckham and Brown were originally chosen as the members of the group, and then formed a quintet with Emma Bunton. The group felt insecure about the lack of a contract and were frustrated by the direction of Heart Management and broke with them. In 1995, they toured record labels in London and Los Angeles and finally signed a deal with Virgin. Their debut album, Spice was a huge worldwide commercial success, peaked at number 1 in more than 17 countries across the world,[14] and was certified multi-platinum in 27 countries.[14] Conceptually, the album centered on the idea of Girl Power, and during that time was compared to Beatlemania.[15] In total the album sold 30 million copies worldwide,[16][17][18] becoming the biggest-selling album in music history by a girl group and one of the most successful albums of all time.[19][20] The first single, "Wannabe" reached number 1 in 37 countries,[21] and their subsequent singles – "Say You'll Be There", "2 Become 1", "Who Do You Think You Are" and "Mama" – all peaked at number 1 in the UK.[22][23]

In 1997, they released the second album, Spiceworld, with the two first singles "Spice Up Your Life" and "Too Much", that entered the UK Albums Chart at number 1, making it the group's all consecutive number 1 hit single, a record of musical groups all time.[24] The album was a global best seller, selling 20 million copies worldwide.[25] The group also starred in their own film, Spiceworld: The Movie, which grossed $100 million at the box office worldwide and became the second most watched movie in the year.[26] The next single, "Stop", peaked at two, breaking the sequence of number 1s, their only single to not reach the top of the charts.

After the two singles did not reach the top of the charts, Virgin thought to end the promotion of the album, but decided to release one more single, "Never Be the Same Again", which broke the pop rock sound of the other songs and focused on R&B.[41] The song, featuring TLC member Lisa "Left Eye" Lopes, was released on 20 March 2000 and became her first number 1 single.

Chisholm's second album was originally planned to be released on 16 September 2002, then postponed to 24 February 2003.[57] It was finally postponed to 10 March 2003. Rumors at the time speculated that Chisholm and Virgin had several conflicts, because they wanted her to lose weight.[57] Chisholm also took time out due to struggles with clinical depression.[70] On 24 February 2003 the first single from her new album was released, "Here It Comes Again", which reached number 7 in the UK and peaked in the top 20 in Spain and Ireland.[8][72] She released her second studio album, Reason, on 10 March 2003 and it peaked at number 5,[59] received gold certification in the UK.[6] The label sent Chisholm to promote the album, including several pocket shows.[60] On 24 April 2003, she embarked in the Reason Tour, traveling only in Europe.[61] The second single, "On the Horizon", was released on 2 June 2003.[62] After the previous single, the music critics were predicting that this single would redeem Chisholm's chart success, but the song peaked at number 14 and did not help sales.[8]

"Let's Love", was released as a single exclusively in Japan and used for a Toyota Motor Corporation commercial.[63] Originally, "Yeh Yeh Yeh" was planned to be released as the third and final single on 22 September 2003, but shortly before this could happen, Chisholm injured her knee during the television show The Games and couldn't fully promote an upbeat song with an injury.[64] "Melt" was then chosen to be launched along with "Yeh Yeh Yeh" as a double A-side, because she could do a small number of performances.[64] The double single was released on 10 November 2003.[65] The song peaked at number 27.[8] In other countries of Europe, "Melt" wasn't released, only "Yeh Yeh Yeh" as a solo release.[66] After the release of "Melt/Yeh Yeh Yeh", Melanie added some extra dates to the Reason Tour, and the Avo Session Basel concert was broadcast on 3sat.

In November/December 2017 Chisholm was Co-Headliner at Night of the Proms a 25-concert tour in the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany and Luxembourg. She performed "Never Be The Same Again", "First Day of My Life", "I Turn To You" and with John Miles (musician) "When You're Gone".[162][163][164][165]

Melanie spent 2018, writing and recording songs for her next two albums; alongside performing at festivals around the UK and Europe. She also turned her hand to Disc Jockeying by performing a "90s Mix" at various events.

Melanie will perform in Bangkok in November 2018 as part of the Melanie C - Asia Tour 2018 [166]

Personal life

Chisholm has been open about her experiences with clinical depression[167] and an eating disorder. Chisholm spoke of her eating disorder to Contact Music, stating: "I'd hammered the gym for three hours a day. It was a way of running away, not thinking. I felt like a robot. When the papers started calling me 'Sumo Spice', I was only a size 10. But I was so upset by all the criticism, it got worse and I went up to a size 14".[167][168]

In 1997, Chisholm had a brief relationship with Robbie Williams.[169] In 1998, she dated record producer Jake Davies.[170] In the summer of the same year, Chisholm had a relationship with Anthony Kiedis, the vocalist of Red Hot Chili Peppers.[171][172] Kiedis wrote "Emit Remmus", which is "summer time" spelled backwards, inspired by his relationship with Chisholm.[173] The song was included in Californication.[174] In 2000, Chisholm and Jason "J" Brown had an on-off relationship.[175][176]

In 2002 Melanie began a relationship with property developer Thomas Starr.[177] On 22 February 2009, Chisholm gave birth to her daughter Scarlet Chisholm Starr at the Portland Hospital in London.[178] In 2012, after 10 years together, Chisholm and Starr ended their relationship.{{citation needed|date=December 2017}}

In 2014 Chisholm started a relationship with fitness fanatic, Joe Marshall,[179] who is now her manager.

Chisholm has a country home in Catbrook, Monmouthshire.[180] She is a supporter of Liverpool FC[181] and an amateur triathlete, having completed the London Triathlon twice.[182]

Chisholm is the half-sister of racing driver Paul O'Neill.[183]

Philanthropy

In 2012, Chisholm joined the Sport Relief telethon by appearing in a Never Mind the Buzzcocks special.[184] Chisholm also participated in a three-mile "Sport Relief Mile" run.[185] In 2013, Chisholm joined Jack Dee, Dara Ó Briain, Greg James, Chelsee Healey and Philips Idowu in Through Hell and High Water, a Comic Relief challenge which involved British celebrities canoeing the most difficult rapids of the Zambezi River. They raised over £1 million for the charity. In 2014, Chisholm travelled to Ghana to support a charity campaign by Procter & Gamble that provides African children with clean drinking water. The project involved the use of purification sachets that changes the water from stagnant to drinkable. She said, "I've been on charity trips to Africa before. They can be harrowing, but this one was really positive and inspiring. Already it's changing people's lives. When we first arrived, three of the girls took us down to the local water supply, which is basically a big lake shared with animals, so that water can be very dangerous. Using the sachets, in half an hour the water goes from black to clear. We drank it as well. It's completely and utterly safe."[186] Chisholm also supported a homeless charity by donating funds raised from her annual calendar.[187]

Musical style

Chisholm's music is generally pop and rock. She also released an album of show tunes.[188]

Chisholm has received co-writing credits for most of the songs recorded with Spice Girls and her solo efforts. The main concept of the Spice Girl albums centred on the idea of Girl Power, embodying a feminist image, as both Madonna and Bananarama had employed before, and every track deals with different aspects of this notion. Other central themes in the writing of the group were the union, solidarity, friendship, independence, love, loss of virginity, sex, contraception, the relationship with parents during adolescence, vulnerability and fame. Many of these themes were carried out even during her solo career, but with a more mature writing, intense style and in some songs a more raw and direct language. Added to these were social issues such as homelessness, and introspective themes.{{Citation needed|date=December 2017}} Having co-written 11 UK number 1s, more than any other female artist, she remains the only female performer to top the charts as a solo artist, as part of a duo, quartet and quintet. With 12 UK Number 1 singles, including the charity single as part of the Justice Collective, she is the second female artist – and the first British female artist – with the most singles at number 1 in the UK, and with a total of 14 songs that have risen to number 1 in Britain (including the double A-sides), Chisolm is the first artist with most number 1 songs in the UK ranking history.[2][3][4]

On 1 January 2004, Virgin Records dismissed Chisholm after the conflict in previous years about the direction in her solo career.[189] In April 2004, she founded her own label, Red Girl Records, to record and release her own projects. All of Chisolm's activities are decided upon and funded by herself, alongside her business partner and manager, Nancy Phillips.[190] The name was inspired by the colours of the football Liverpool F.C., which Chisholm is supporter.[191]

Influences

Chisholm has cited Madonna as her biggest musical influence.[192] She stated: "I think she's inspired me a lot musically, and maybe [in] just the way I present myself. I've always admired how hard she works and what a strong lady she is, so she's always inspired me in that way."[193] Chisholm named Blur, Oasis, Suede and the Cardigans as inspirations for her first album.[194]

Cultural impact and legacy

As a Spice Girls member Chisholm was called "Sporty Spice" because she usually wore a tracksuit paired with athletic shoes, wore her long dark hair in a high ponytail, and sported a tough girl attitude as well as tattoos on both of her arms. She also possessed true athletic abilities, including being able to perform back handsprings.[195]

In this period, the phrase "girl power" put a name to a social phenomenon, but the slogan was met with mixed reactions. The phrase was a label for the particular facet of post classical neo-feminist empowerment embraced by the band: that a sensual, feminine appearance and equality between the sexes need not be mutually exclusive.[196] The term "Cool Britannia" became prominent in the media and represented the new political and social climate that was emerging with the advances made by New Labour and the new UK Prime Minister Tony Blair. Coming out of a period of 18 years of Conservative government, Tony Blair and New Labour were seen as young, cool and appealing, a driving force in giving Britain a feeling of euphoria and optimism.[197]

Some songs from Northern Star have appeared in films, such as "Ga Ga" which is heard in Charmed and Big Daddy. The song "Go" makes an appearance in Whatever It Takes. "Suddenly Monday" appears in Maybe Baby and on its soundtrack. After the song gained popularity, "I Turn to You" was featured in the film Bend It Like Beckham. It was covered by Darkseed on "Ultimate Darkness", by Machinae Supremacy on "Webography", and by Wig Wam on 667.. The Neighbour of the Beast. The song was also featured in the musical Viva Forever!, a musical show based on the songs of the Spice Girls. Some songs have also been covered by international artists such as Christine Fan, who covered and translated "Suddenly Monday" in Chinese for her debut album FanFan's World, and Dutch pop singer Do who covered the Japanese bonus-track "Follow Me", for her album of the same name. The single "First Day of My Life" was originally recorded by Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli, with lyrics in Italian as "Un Nuovo Giorno" (A new day) for his 2004 album Andrea, and he also released it as a single the same year. Chisolm's version of the single was a success in German-speaking countries because it was used as the title song of the German soap opera telenovela Wege zum Glück. At the time of The Sea{{'}}s release, the lead single "Rock Me" served as the official theme song for German TV channel ZDF's coverage of the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup.[198]
