Is Banarama the UK's most successful girl group?

I can't think of another one, at least one that successfully crossed over to America.

The Spice Girls surpassed Banarama a long time ago.

Actually in terms of sales Spice Girls but hit singles it was Girls Aloud they charted 21 out of 22 singles in the top 10

Bananarama is a cool little group, alot more interesting than say DESTINYS CHILD, Girls Aloud and the Saturdays i would take any day over any girl group in america

Yeah they were in the '80s. "Cruel Summer" and "I Heard a Rumour" are classics.

I like Cruel Summer too, but really we're talking "of all time," here? It's just amazing the discrepency between The Beatles & Zeppelin and Bananarama & Spice Girls lol

The surviving members of The Supremes, Pointer Sisters, Marvelettes, Martha and the Vandellas, Shirelles, Shangri-Las, Ronettes and the Emotions would disagree with you... neutral

I think they have the most top 40 chart entries.

So the most successful in terms of single success.
