Background


The album was released on 9 October 2000, less than a month before the release of Forever, the third studio album by the Spice Girls; this is cited as the main reason that Hot was not successful: fans were more interested in the Spice Girls comeback album rather than Melanie B's debut album. Despite being released only two weeks after the top 5 hit "Tell Me" and including single "I Want You Back", Hot entered the UK Albums Chart at No. 28 before quickly dropping from the chart completely. Hot was digitally released in the United States via the iTunes Store on 30 October 2007.

Four months after the album's release, the single "Feels So Good" was released, becoming a top 5 hit. This single helped the album re-enter the UK Albums Chart. The last single, "Lullaby" was released in June 2001, but was unable to make a great impact on album sales, therefore Hot re-entered the Top 200 for only one week. Altogether the album went on to sell over 53,000 copies. The track "Hotter" was set to be the album's fifth single, however, this was decided against because of the low charting of "Lullaby".


Singles


"I Want You Back" released as her first solo single. It was released as the lead single from her debut album Hot, the first solo single by a member of the Spice Girls, and also included in the soundtrack to the 1998 film Why Do Fools Fall in Love. The song peaked at number-one on the UK Singles Chart and consequently Missy Elliott became the first female rapper to reach number one in the UK.[citation needed]

The second single from the album Tell Me was released as on 25 September 2000. It debuted and peaked at #4, selling 107,317 copies.[9]

Feels So Good released as the album's third single on 19 February 2001. In the United Kingdom, it peaked and debuted at number five, becoming the 85th-best-selling single of 2001.[10]

Released on 4 June 2001 as final single, Lullaby peaked at number 13 on the UK Singles Chart.[10]

The single "Word Up", previously released on the soundtrack of the film Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, was included on the Japanese version.[8]
