On the new Billboard Pop Shop Podcast, Katie and Keith discuss life after girl groups and how each singer is forging their own solo path after finding success in a group. We also take a look at Little Mix, who are in the midst of creating their solo music careers and their impact on the Official UK Charts, as well as earlier examples Pussycat Dolls, Destiny's Child and Spice Girls. What does it take to catch lightning in a bottle, like Beyoncé did? Or like Diana Ross's post-Supremes career?
