Spice Girls return will be more successful than Take That, says Mel C

After confirming the Spice Girls reunion, band member Melanie Chisholm has claimed that the vivacious five’s return to the charts will be far better than their recently reformed counterparts Take That.

Sporty Spice said that she is confident about the girl group's comeback being more successful than that of their male pop rivals, because of their past success around the world.

"One thing that's different with the Spice Girls is that we were truly global,” The Guardian quoted Mel C, as saying.

"We are going to America. Take That never did,” she said.

The all-girls band, which split in 2001, announced on June 28 that they will reunite for an 11-date world tour spanning eight countries, starting with a December 7 performance in Los Angeles, California.
