The diva formerly known as Posh Spice will eagerly be watching the singles charts today. Her new disc, "This Groove/Let Your Head Go", was released last week and is expected to make the top three. La Beckham has earned a hit, having worked the circuit hard over Christmas, including Parkinson and TOTP, plus a fly-on-the-wall documentary featuring the whole family. The PR blizzard includes a video in which Victoria simulates phone-sex (presumably, long distance to Madrid). But she's once again going head to head with Sophie Ellis-Bextor who (with Spiller) kept her off the top three years ago. The other issue is talent. Her last album, which sold only 50,000 copies, was described as "desperately forgettable audio slurry".
