New York - British girl band Spice
Girls Greatest Hits album will only be available in the
United States through lingerie chain Victoria's Secret for the
first two months of its release.
Under a deal announced on Tuesday, Emma, Geri, Mel B,
Melanie C and Victoria - aka Emma Bunton, Geri Halliwell,
Melanie Brown, Melanie Chisholm and Victoria Beckham - will
also perform at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Capitol Music Group, part of EMI Group <EMI.L>, said Spice

owned by Limited Brands Inc <LTD.N>, on November 13 and that the
fashion show would be broadcast on CBS <CBS.N> on December 4.
The album will be made available elsewhere in the United
States from January 15 2008.
Along with 13 of the Spice Girls hits, like Wannabe and
Spice Up Your Life, the album will also include two new songs - Voodoo, and Headlines (Friendship Never Ends), which
will be the group's first new single since 2000.
More gigs added
The Spice Girls announced in late June that they were
reforming, seven years after they split, and unveiled plans for
a 10-date world tour.
More gigs are being added to meet demand.
The tour starts on December 2 in Vancouver.
Over 3 million people registered online to buy tickets,
which promoters say suggests that up to 18 million fans want to
see the five women in action again.
The revival tour will see the Spice Girls play cities
including New York, London, Hong Kong, Sydney and Buenos
Aires.
