Is there any pop bands where a member hasn't pursued a solo career?

No one from S club juniors did

Calvin had a solo album lined up and it was suppose to be released like 09/10 but it's never come to light for some reason.

It depends on what you consider a solo career.For example, ALL the bands have at least one member that booked studio sessions and recorded solo demos to get signed by a label, but do you think that's considered a solo career?If yes, then there is absolutely no pop band that I know of that didn't have any members pursuing a solo career.

He's still working on it. I've been waiting since 2008, so I'm getting a little Impatient for it now lol.

Neither Neil Tennant nor Chris Lowe have actively pursued a solo career outside of Pet Shop Boys, but have been featured on other artists tracks. Same goes for New Order - they have had side projects but not sought an active solo career.

Eternal - I was expecting Esther to have something, but only Kelle and Louise did. Well, apart from Esther releasing that "Shy Guy" cover with Aswad.

Thankfully.

Stacey is also supposed to have a solo album coming out at some point, although details are sketchy. She did attempt X Factor but, I doubt that counts.

Maroon 5
Although, it's more like Adam Levine being solo anyway

Same with Hayley Williams in Paramore

Tony Mortimer attempted to have a solo career, his debut single N Toxyc 8 didn't do much.

I can't think of an act other than The Spice Girls where each member has gone on to have at least one number 1 record (aside from Victoria who, I think, had the biggest selling number 2 of 2000)

Geri - 4 consecutive number 1 singles (12 Million records total)
Melanie C - 2 number 1 singles (10 million records total)
Emma - 1 number 1 single
Mel B - 1 number 1 single
Victoria - Biggest selling number 2 of the year.

Trying to think of another group where every member has had that kind of solo success?

Slightly off topic, I know.

Duran Duran?


Not a pop band, but AC/DC
