So interestingly the curators of this track list used Three the most, 9 out of its 14 album tracks. Surprising that only 5 tracks from Taller in More Ways album get a look in - less than Sweet 7 with 6 tracks.

Yikes! I wasn’t expecting anything great but this is horrendous. It could’ve been done so much better.

Omg that cover is hilariously shit! I know it's budget but that looks budget, like the kind of thing you see in a gift shop on holiday haha.

I mean, it's understandable that they wouldn't want to use a picture of them when there's four different incarnations of them and one is currently active (ironically, the one whose tracks isn't on this one), but still - even a black cover with "SUGABABES - THE ESSENTIAL" would be better.

Has anyone else caved in and bought this just to see another potential Top 100 entry? :lol:

Yes. I caved because it’s sugababes. I mean I bought Sweet 7 why wouldn’t I buy this as well

Snap! Okay, I don't feel so bad now. :D

If it goes down to £5 then I’ll buy it!

 

It’s funny that Overloaded and now this Essential album both use 3.0 images (even if the new artwork is meant to look vague)

I guess it’s targeting the AYN casuals but tbh most ordinary folks wouldn’t be able to tell you what line up that was by looking at the silhouette, we’re just special :lol:

Have any of the girls commented on this yet?

I don't see why they should tbh - it's a cheap compilation that they have nothing to do with. I could see them *maybe* commenting on it if it goes top 40 like the S Club one did.

I'd imagine they don't want anything to do with it, no doubt just a label cash in.

I managed to change the address on this to ship to DE if any internationals were wondering about shipping abroad!

In the event that anyone's interested, this is up from #87 to #57 on today's Amazon's Box Sets (CDs & Vinyl) chart.

 

Has it always been just £7.99 as that's not actually that bad :lol:

At one point it was £8.30, but it's never gone lower than £7.99 up to this point (I have a feature on Amazon that keeps track of the history of a product's price!)

 

Essential S Club 7's highest price was £8.14 but went down to £5 quite quickly... which makes me hope that Essential Sugababes will go that low too!

Thats an interesting feature!!!

 

Im hoping it’ll drop to a fiver too but we shall see what happens over the next couple of days

In the event that anyone's interested, this is up from #87 to #57 on today's Amazon's Box Sets (CDs & Vinyl) chart.
