Melanie C, first known as Sporty Spice during her time with The Spice Girls, is choosing the Tracks of My Years in an interview first broadcast in 2012. It came at the time "Viva Forever!" the musical based around the songs of The Spice girls was opening on the West End stage. It was written by Jennifer Saunders and produced by Judy Craymer who was also behind the hugely successful "Mamma Mia" musical based on the songs of Abba. Melanie C continues to go from strength to strength and is still performing today. In March this year, she released "Who I Am", the lead single from her eighth album, "Melanie C".
