Melanie C, the former Spice Girl also known as Mel C and Sporty Spice, released her ninth studio album 'Sweat' this week. However, fans quickly spotted an unfortunate typo on the spine of the vinyl release, where her name appears as 'Melanine C' rather than Melanie C.
Australian fan Brad Bellman posted a TikTok showing the mistake, commenting: 'So I think someone's getting fired.' UK superfan Andrew Isaac noted the error was present across all five of his vinyl variants.
This is not the first time such a mistake has occurred in music history. Notable examples include Electric Light Orchestra's 1972 debut album, originally intended to be titled 'The Electric Light Orchestra' but printed as 'No Answer' due to a miscommunication, and The Zombies' 1968 release 'Odessey & Oracle', where the illustrator admitted misspelling 'Odyssey'.
While some fans speculate the typo might increase the album's value, the misspelling has drawn attention to an otherwise smooth release for the artist, who has previously used both 'Melanie C' and 'Mel C' professionally.
