On this day in 1966, The Supremes became the first girl group to reach number one with their album ‘The Supremes A’Go-Go’. Fast forward 46 years and Girls Aloud are top of the pops with a healthy amount of buzz around the announcement of their 10th anniversary tour (and endorsements from both hipsters and pop fans). In comparison to the myriad girl groups in the decades in between, boy bands look droopy. Sure there are the heavies (Jackson 5, Take That, The Monkees, O-Town…) but there’s something magical when the synthesis of a girl group is bang on.
