Wanna be the first to score a copy of the Spice Girls
greatest-hits album? You'll have to go through Victoria's Secret to
get it. The newly reunited British girl group's CD will be
available starting Nov. 13 at Victoria's Secret stores and on the
company's Web site in the US, Capitol Music Group said Tuesday.
The Spice Girls: Greatest Hits features 13 hits,
including Wannabe and Spice up Your Life, and two
new songs, Voodoo and the upcoming single, Headlines
(Friendship Never Ends).
Capitol said the disc will be available nationwide January
15.
The original Girl Power group of the 1990s will also appear at
the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show, set to air December 4 on
CBS.
The Spice Girls were one of the biggest acts of the 1990s with
more than 55 million records sold. The quintet, who broke up in
2001, announced they had reunited at a press conference in London
in late June.
Their reunion tour opens December 2 in Vancouver, Canada. Other
confirmed dates: San Jose, Calif., December 4; Los Angeles,
December 5 and December 7; and Las Vegas, December 8-9.
Other North American tour dates are being rearranged, Capitol
Music said, due to the high demand for tickets.
The shows will be the first with all five of the original group
since Geri "Ginger Spice" Halliwell quit to pursue a solo career in
1998.
Their last album, Forever, released in 2000 and without
Halliwell, fared poorly.
Other members of the Spice Girls are Victoria "Posh Spice"
Beckham, Melanie "Sporty Spice" Chisholm, Emma "Baby Spice" Bunton
and Melanie "Scary Spice" Brown.
