Overloaded: The Singles Collection

Sugababes

It's been a slightly tumultuous but hugely successful ride to the top for UK superstars the Sugababes. They've lost not one, but two band members since forming in 1998, but have nonetheless achieved three Brit Awards, an ESKA, a slew of chart hits (including four number ones), four well-received LPs and--more recently--an inclusion in the Guinness Book of Records for "Best Female Act Of The Century." Overloaded, their fifth official album, is a greatest-hits package, bringing together most of their main singles so far. Beginning with their Richard X-produced hit "Freak Like Me" (their first number one), the album profiles most of their hits, including all their most addictive moments--such as "Hole In The Head," "Round, Round," and "Push The Button"--but excluding more lukewarm releases like "New Year," "Soul Sound," "Angels With Dirty Faces," and "Follow Me Home." There's some new material too, notably "Easy," the band's lascivious collaboration with Californian rock band Orson, and the catchy "Good To Be Gone," which is slated to be the second single from the album. --Danny McKenna
