Sugababes
The Sugababes are a British girl group formed in 1998. Its original and final lineup composed of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy. Sugababes released their debut album, One Touch, through London Records in 2000. It achieved moderate success and produced the top-ten single "Overload". In 2001, Donaghy was replaced by Heidi Range. With this lineup, the group released three multi-platinum albums: Angels with Dirty Faces (2002), Three (2003), and Taller in More Ways (2005). In December 2005, Buena was replaced by Amelle Berrabah, after which the group released their first greatest hits album in 2006. Their fifth and sixth studio albums, Change (2007) and Catfights and Spotlights (2008), produced the singles "About You Now" and "Girls".
In 2009, after 11 years in Sugababes, Buchanan, the final original member, was replaced by Jade Ewen. Sugababes released Sweet 7 (2010), after which they signed to RCA Records, before taking an indefinite hiatus in 2011 following the release of their single "Freedom". That year, the original lineup re-formed as Mutya Keisha Siobhán and released the single "Flatline" in 2013, to moderate commercial success. The trio regained the name Sugababes in 2019, and in 2021, they rereleased One Touch for its 20th anniversary. In 2022, they released The Lost Tapes, an album of previously unreleased leaked material. In 2025, the group independently released the singles "Jungle", "Weeds" and "Shook", and embarked on the Sugababes '25 Tour, their first arena tour.
Sugababes have achieved six number-one singles in the UK: "Freak like Me", "Round Round", "Hole in the Head", "Push the Button", "Walk This Way", and "About You Now". The Spice Girls are the only British girl group to have had more. They have also released five UK top-ten albums, four of which were certified platinum in the UK, and have been nominated for six Brit Awards, winning for Best British Dance Act in 2003. They have been a long-term fixture in the British tabloids due to their lineup changes and reports of infighting.
