===1988–1991: second line-up, ''Greatest Hits'', ''Pop Life'' and world tour===
After Fahey's exit, [[Jacquie O'Sullivan]] (formerly of the [[Shillelagh Sisters]]) joined the group in March 1988. The single "[[I Want You Back (Bananarama song)|I Want You Back]]" (UK No. 5) was re-recorded with O'Sullivan, as was [[The Supremes]] cover "[[Nathan Jones (song)|Nathan Jones]]" (UK No. 15) which was nominated for best video at the 1989 Brit Awards. "[[Love, Truth and Honesty]]" (UK No. 23) was released as a single from their 1988 retrospective compilation, ''[[Greatest Hits Collection (Bananarama album)|Greatest Hits Collection]]'' (UK No. 3). At the same time, Bananarama entered the ''[[Guinness Book of World Records]]'' as the all-female group who have the most UK chart entries in history, a record they still hold.<ref name="Nicholson">{{Cite news|last=Nicholson|first=Rebecca|url=https://www.theguardian.com/music/2017/apr/24/people-wet-knickers-bananarama-80s-trio-return|title='People wet their knickers when they find out I was in Bananarama': the 80s trio return|work=The Guardian|date=24 April 2017|access-date=24 April 2017|language=en-GB|issn=0261-3077}}</ref>

As a fundraising charity single for [[Comic Relief]] in 1989, Bananarama recorded a cover of [[the Beatles]]' song "[[Help! (song)#Bananarama version|Help!]]" with [[Lananeeneenoonoo]] (UK No. 3), a mock girl-group created by British female comedy duo [[French and Saunders]], with fellow comedian [[Kathy Burke]]. Also in 1989, the band embarked upon their first world tour, which included shows in North America, East Asia, and the UK. Bananarama's 1991 album, ''[[Pop Life (Bananarama album)|Pop Life]]'', saw Dallin's and Woodward's songwriting collaboration with their friend Youth. They worked with a variety of producers including [[Martin Glover|Youth]], [[Shep Pettibone]], and [[Jolley & Swain|Steve Jolley]] of Jolley & Swain. They also incorporated a wider range of musical genres including [[reggae]], [[flamenco]] guitar, and [[acid house]]. Singles "[[Only Your Love]]" (UK No. 27), "[[Preacher Man]]" (UK No. 20), a cover of the [[Doobie Brothers]]' "[[Long Train Running]]" (UK No. 30), and "[[Tripping on Your Love]]" (UK No. 76) were the group's final releases with O'Sullivan. In a rave review for ''[[Entertainment Weekly]]'', [[Chuck Eddy]] said that ''Pop Life'', "while energetic, is far moodier than anything they've ever done. The Gipsy Kings{{nbsp}}... help engineer the Doobie Brothers' 'Long Train Running' into a scary locomotive blues. Other tracks venture deep into the dark tunnel of dreamland: Pulses from an alternate universe underline fizzy computerized harmonies; sleepy voices trying hard to wake up ask 'What color are the skies where you live?'{{nbsp}}... Two other songs even have heavy [[psychedelic music|psychedelic]] guitars. We usually visit Bananaramaland to escape our problems, but this album takes us to an eerier place than we'd ever expect."<ref name="entertainmentweekly">{{cite magazine |last=Eddy |first=Chuck |author-link=Chuck Eddy |url=https://ew.com/article/1991/07/12/pop-life/ |title=Pop Life |magazine=[[Entertainment Weekly]] |date=12 July 1991 |access-date=24 August 2024}}</ref>
