"Viva Forever" was their first single released without Geri though her vocals was still in the song. It became a number 1 hit. After few months, "Goodbye" was released, and it might even be a signal of the girls' hiatus. It became a part of their reunion album "Forever" in 2000, which was considered a flop.
