Summary
But how did Nicki go from being a looked-over assistant running promo packages over to BBC Radio 1 to a judge on Pop Idol with 15 million viewers tuning in for the nail-biting moment Will Young triumphed over Gareth Gates?
Everyone knows there were the kingmakers in the heady days of 90s British pop music, but this is a queen's side of the story; a down-to-earth, no-nonsense team player who fought to make it in an industry that was very much a man's world.
Empowering, entertaining and sprinkled with stardust, Nicki's inspirational behind-the-scenes story takes in the rocketing highs and heart-breaking lows of promoting, managing and touring with the Spice Girls, Amy Winehouse, David Bowie, Take That, Billie Piper, Phil Collins and S Club 7, all whilst confronting chauvinism and smashing through the career glass ceiling.

Thoroughly Enjoyable
I thoroughly enjoyed this book by Nicki Chapman. Really well written and narrated. I am a huge music fan and it was great to hear some of her stories about some of Britains best known and loved bands and singers.
I recommend to anyone who wants an easy listen and likes their music!

Poptastic
It’s a pleasant nostalgic listen for any pop music fans. Annie Lennox is mentioned way too much though! Nicky seems to be a nice lady

Really interesting life story
I loved the behind the scenes tales from the pop stars of my youth and the tales of a strong woman in a different era. Lovely to hear tough can still be kind. I loved the on-site into Nicki’s world ❤️

A fabulous glimpse in to the music industry.
Nicki takes us on a journey from where she began her career to when she became a household name.
I was transported back to the 1980's and 90's via the clothes, celebs and artists of the time and I especially loved her progression of company cars 😄
Nicki write from the heart and shows how women can smash it in the music industry.....with suede stilettos on too!
