Melanie C Fan Spots Blunder On Spice Girls Star’s New Album Cover

A fan of the former Spice Girls singer Melanie C has spotted a rather unfortunate typo on her new album.

Last week, Melanie unveiled her latest album Sweat, which marked a return to the dance-inspired sound first showcased early on in her solo career.

However, in a TikTok shared on Monday, Brad Bellman noticed that something wasn’t quite right with his vinyl copy.

“So, I think someone’s getting fired,” he quipped. “My delivery full of Melanie C Sweat stuff came today. I did an unboxing […] and a friend of mine was like, ‘did you get the Melanine version?’.”

Indeed, Brad then tipped his record on its side to reveal that her name had been misspelled as “Melanine C” on the spine of his copy.

“Who the fuck is Melanine?” he joked.

Down in the comments, another fan pointed out that Sweat is Melanie’s ninth record, so the misprint might actually have been intentional.

“That’s what I thought too,” Brad responded. “But the CDs and cassettes don’t say it. Surely if it was intentional it would be on all of them?”

HuffPost UK has contacted Melanie C’s team for comment.

An official press release for Sweat explained: “Before she became Mel C of the Spice Girls, she was Melanie Chisholm of ‘The F**king Yeah Four’, a group of 18-year-old friends dancing through the Costa Brava rave scene in the early ’90s.

“Those nights of breakbeats, sweat and freedom would shape her forever. Decades later, Melanie C channels that same raw energy into Sweat—her ninth studio album and most euphoric record to date.”

The I Turn To You singer previously said of her latest release: “There are so many horrific things going on in the world… music is what gets me through tough moments. I’m really happy I am bringing out a joyful record at a very dark time.”
