Spice Girls, Westlife prepare for chart duel
Published Wednesday, Oct 3 2007, 17:52 BST | By Nick Levine
The reunited girl group's Greatest Hits album is due for release on November 5, the same day that Westlife's eighth studio collection Back Home is expected to hit the shelves.
In 2002 Westlife's Coast To Coast platter beat the Spice Girls' Forever disc to the top of the UK album charts, selling 234,000 copies to the girl group's 74,000.
However, it is rumoured that the Spice Girls are considering delaying their album's release until November 12 to avoid a chart battle with the Irish boyband.
A Westlife insider told DS: "The boys can't wait to take their album up against the Spice Girls - they are definitely going to enjoy this and would be absolutely gutted if the girls moved. Westlife always absolutely relish the challenge of being up against other big music acts!"
