girl group

All-women vocal act

A girl group is a pop music act consisting of several young female singers who perform together, typically with choreographed dancing and a polished, commercially oriented sound.

The term emerged in the early 1960s with groups like the Supremes and saw revival in the 1990s with acts like the Spice Girls and Destiny's Child.

Girl groups often cultivate distinct personalities for each member to appeal to different segments of their fanbase.

K-pop girl groups dominate streaming charts worldwide.
