Our Ranking of the 9 Best Five-Member Music Groups Throughout History
Many a music group have been a huge part of our lives and shaped the very people we are today.
From Fifth Harmony and The Spice Girls to One Direction and The Backstreet Boys, these are the nine five-member bands throughout history we will listen to forever.
1. Fifth Harmony
Why we ♥️ them: These girls are always inspiring us to love ourselves and embrace our inner beauty. Not to mention, they are the true definition of strong and independent women.

2. R5
Why we ♥️ them: Their music is basically the soundtrack to our lives and they're major #siblinggoals. We really can't imagine a world where this band doesn't exist and, quite frankly, we don't want to.
3. One Direction
Why we ♥️ them: Come on, it's One Direction. Do we even need to explain why these boys hold a special place in our hearts?
4. Pentatonix
Why we ♥️ them: If ever there was a musical group that inspired us to use our voices for the greater good, it would be these lovely gents and lady.

5. L2M
Why we ♥️ them: These girlies may be relatively new to the music industry, but we have no doubts that they'll take it over very soon with all the stellar tunes they release.
6. The Wanted
Why we ♥️ them: Yes, we love both The Wanted and One Direction. We really do miss these guys a ton, so hopefully a reunion is in the works.
7. The Spice Girls
Why we ♥️ them: They pretty much laid the foundation for every girl group that followed, including Fifth Harmony and Little Mix. Without them, girl power wouldn't be what it is today.
8. *NSYNC
Why we ♥️ them: Before the days of 1D and The Wanted, there was these guys. Your older sister was for sure obsessed with them, much like us. And without them, the "Gonna Be May" meme wouldn't be a thing.
9. The Backstreet Boys
Why we ♥️ them: Much like *NSYNC, they are the founding fathers of the boy bands that have come after them. We're still convinced we're going to marry one of them. It can totally happen. DON'T TELL US IT CAN'T!
