Sexy lingerie company Victoria’s Secret is teaming up with the Spice Girls to sell their upcoming greatest-hits CD exclusively through the underwear chain’s stores and website.

The CD version of Spice Girls: Greatest Hits, which features 13 of the best-selling British girl-group’s chart-topping singles, will be available for in the US from November 13.

The tour will kick off in Vancouver and will continue on to dates in London, San Jose, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, New York, Cologne, Madrid, London, Shanghai, Beijing, Hong Kong, Sydney, Cape Town and Buenos Aires.

The Spice Girls were first unleashed upon the world in 1996 when the group released the single Wannabe from their self-titled debut album.

The song, which went to Number One in the UK and 30 other countries, became the highest debut ever on Billboard’s Hot 100 chart by a British band, beating out the Beatles’ I Want To Hold Your Hand.

The group’s second album, Spiceworld, sold more than 10 million copies and spawned four massive singles, including Spice Up Your Life, as well as a feature film of the same name.

After the departure of Geri Halliwell, Spice Girls released its third album, 2000’s Forever, before the group disbanded in 2001 to pursue solo careers.

Overall, Spice Girls have sold more than 55 million albums around the world.
