Sugababes

Sugababes are a British girl group formed in 1998, consisting of Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan, and Siobhán Donaghy. They released their debut album, One Touch, through London Records in 2000. It achieved moderate success and produced the UK top-ten single "Overload". In 2001, Donaghy left the group and 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), the latter of which became their first number one album on the UK Albums Chart. The lead single from Taller in More Ways, "Push the Button", reached number one in multiple countries. In December 2005, Buena left the group and was replaced by Amelle Berrabah, after which they released their first greatest hits album, Overloaded: The Singles Collection (2006). Their fifth studio album, Change (2007), earned the group their second number one album in the UK, and its lead single, "About You Now", became their bestselling song in the country. Their sixth studio album, Catfights and Spotlights (2008), produced the UK top-three single "Girls".

In August 2009, Sugababes released the single "Get Sexy", which reached number two on the UK charts. In September 2009, after 11 years in Sugababes, Buchanan, the final original member, was replaced by Jade Ewen. The group subsequently released their seventh studio album, 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 rights to use the Sugababes name in 2019, and in 2021, they rereleased One Touch for its 20th anniversary. In December 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 are set to release their self-titled ninth studio album in February 2027.

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 are certified platinum in the UK. Three of their studio albums are amongst the top ten best selling girl-group albums of all time in the UK. The group have been nominated for six Brit Awards, winning for Best British Dance Act in 2003. Sugababes have been regarded as one of the best girl groups of all time by Teen Vogue, with their song "Freak Like Me" being ranked as the 45th best girl-group song of all time by Billboard.
