Hot is the debut album by the English singer-songwriter Mel B, released on 9 October 2000 by Virgin. It was not as successful as her albums with the Spice Girls or that of other members' solo albums released around this time. It peaked at number twenty-eight in the United Kingdom and sold over 60,000 copies,[9] receiving a silver certification.[10] The album spawned three singles: "Tell Me", "Feels So Good" and "Lullaby" – the first two singles reached the top 5 in the United Kingdom.[11] "I Want You Back" and "Word Up", previously released for soundtracks two years earlier, were included in different versions of the album.[12] The album received mixed reviews from critics.
