Big News For All Spice Girls Enthusiasts!

So, If you grew up in the 90's like I did, then you will agree that The Spice Girls are a big deal.

Things I loved / still do love about the Spice Girls
1. platform shoes
2. They were FIERCE.
3. They thought they were talented singers
4. Because they thought they were talented singers, they made the best (or worst) move ever, SPICE WORLD!


But sadly, this post is not about my devotion to the most (or least) talented group of british pop royalty... this post is about their latest news.

Basically, the much anticipated Spice Girls "Greatest Hits" album, that is slated to be released for this holiday season will NOT be sold in music stores (wait, those still exist?)... Instead, the album will be sold online on iTunes and Victoria's Secret. CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS! and evidently, the VS albums must be pre-ordered because the supply will be limited!

hold up.

Now, although you probably think that I would be first in line to grab this new album, truthfully, that wasn't my plan. Honestly, I haven't gone to a music store to an album in many many years. But this striking news is very interesting for the music industry, because it seems that their uncertainty and demise is most likely to continue.

So what does this mean for consumers?
I think that tons of people will go online and buy the album as if it was the 1990's before album piracy and all that business started."In the seventies, the action was at the record store. Today it’s at the Apple Store. Oh, what a long strange trip it’s been." Found this quote and although its about the iphone, it couldn't be more true!

Clearly an indication of where the music industry should be headed!

I think the Spice Girls will continue to Spice Up Your Life!
