Spice Girls to tussle in charts in June

Mel B will go up against Geri Halliwell when she releases her new single.

Mel releases 'Today' on June 6 only a week after her former Spice Girls' bandmate Geri Halliwell releases her new single 'Desire', and on the same day as Geri releases her latest album 'Passion'.

Mel's new album is due on June 30 on the independent Amber Café record label.

Mel, who parted from Virgin Records in 2001, has so far failed to achieve the chart success of some of her other bandmates' solo efforts.

Despite scoring a No. 1 in 1998 with 'I Want You Back' featuring Missy Elliott, her last single 'Lullaby', only reached number 13 in 2000 and her debut album 'Hot' peaked at number 28 in the same year.
