Here's a new promotional picture for Spice Girl's reunion. The girls all look great but I just wish Geri wasn't so central and didn't draw so much attention to herself. The girls tour seems to be a great success and the demand was so high around the world, more tickets have had to be released. However, on the music front - things seem to be going not so well. "Headlines", their new single, only debuted at #20 in the UK and it's not set to do any better in the midweeks. However the album is set to debut at #2. Perhaps their peformance at Children In Need will boost sales!

Regardless, this album is going to be huge for Britters and I wish her all the best with the "Blackout" project =)

Bad news for Eve fans. Her long awaited 4th album "Here I Am" has been pushed back to 2008 now. The album, which has been pushed back several times, doesn't have a fixed album date and won't be coming out this year as planned. This is a big shame for Eve and all her fans. Second single "Give It To You" went nowhere on the charts so I think this is the reason for pushing the album back. The albums should have been released in August like first planned, on the back on successful first single "Tambourine".
Despite Kelly Rowland's latest album "Ms. Kelly" only being released in June, her record label and management team are already prepping a re-release of the album. This is due to poor sales of the album. So far, the album has sold about 300,000 copies worldwide, which isn't that bad!
