| Easily Melanie's best solo single, "I Wan't You Back" reached the UK #1 spot in 1998. It marked the first solo single for a Spice Girl. The video has Melanie looking fierce is various outfits (the cat walk crawl is awesome!). The video also features her then (now ex) husband Jimmy "Goldcard" Gulzar. |

| Melanie's "Word Up" single (under the name of Melanie G) appeared on the Austin Powers Soundtrack. It also appears on the Japanese import for HOT. Two videos were filmed for it. One is a "family" version which has a "spaced-up" Melanie cavorting with "Mini-Me". The second (and best) is an adult animated version. It has "Melanie" giving birth, seducing a man, messing about with a rabbit like character...well you'll have to see it for yourself. It is available on the cd single. |

| HOT did not do well at all. It debuted at #26 in the UK charts and then fell. This is very unfortunate as the album has some great tracks on it-including "Pack Your Shit". One problem I have with the album is that Melanie doesn't seem to be able to make up her mind between pop and r&b. "I Wan't You Back" is a great song and it would've been cool if she stuck with Missy Elliot for more tracks. But the rest of the tracks are okay...but not close to what Melanie is capable of. Favourite track? "I Wan't You Back". |
| FYI. Hotter-although not a single, appeared during Melanie's performance at a London gay club called G-A-Y as an instrumental intro. It was a much better mix than the ablum track. |
|
| Lullaby was Melanie's last solo single to date. It debuted at a dissapointing #14 on the UK charts. The video has her walking around Marrakesh and then going home to her daughter Pheonix-Chi. A sweet song that is not as vomit inducing as most songs artists write for their children. |
