2017 was Spice’s year. Though she didn’t drop any major projects, she was dubbed the “Fashion Forward Queen of Dancehall” by Vogue, popped up on Love and Hip Hop: Atlanta and in Busta Rhymes’ ‘Girlfriend’ video and teased a collaboration with Missy Elliott. Not only that but her biggest 2017 single “Sheet” inspired the viral #SheetChallenge and a memorable, Xtreme Arts-directed, Instagram Live-inspired music video. As the “Queen of Stage” hit the road on tour this year, it was one of the most anticipated records during her set, with dancers choosing men from the audience who could handle the challenge. — Sharine Taylor
