Ouch! :lol:

 

Yeah, the singles chart will not change all week, not many singles are dropping from last week. I guess X Factor has locked songs into position as we await the big November sales period of big new releases.

BP seem to be constantly falling :(

At this rate they won't even be top 10 by Sunday! :cry:

Miley top 40 :D and i thought Saturdays might have gone up as they performed Up on the NTA'S after party :o but then again they are top 10 still

Great to see Use Somebody back in the top 40 too :heart:
Island Records have really ballsed the Sugababes up.

 

 

To be fair the first single 'Girls' was horrendous so has put people including me off buying the alum. Have bought the last three bust so much depends on a first single. And also, the album has been slaughtered by alot of critics

Well this month has been the biggest month all year too! I hope Guru Josh can get into the top 3 again. :w00t:

The album is really good!

Wait to hear the next singles and then buy it. The next singles are going to make or the album. Hopefully they help sales!

The Sugababes album is good but not really commercial, I think that after a few singles the sales will pick up. This is a group that has sold 500k or more of their past 5 albums.
Gboy, it hasn't been slaughtered by critics. :mellow: It's had a mix of 3 and 4 star reviews, generally better than Change!

The one's i have seen it has been slaughtered!!! And from what i have heard so far it sounds rubbish :huh:

Then you must have an ODD idea of 'slaughtered'. Show me a two-star review pls?

So far bought all the albums, and on every album there is always 2 or 3 standout songs that will top the charts, they've went in another direction with this album (maybe trying to sound a bit older) and sorry to say it fails! Sad to say this is one album that wont be played again. Very poor effort from one of the uk's top acts. Roll on the next one!

 

I love Sugababes! But if you're looking for some catchy hits on this album, you'll be disappointed. There are no tunes like "Red Dress", "Hole in the head" or "Push the Button" on this album. In fact, it feels like they've taken the left over "fillers" from the last 3 albums and just stuck 'em on this one. It's a bit like an album of B-sides...good vocals & good arrangement, just quite forgetable ballads, that's all. Which is a shame, I expected better from the 'Babes. You need some new material girls...

 

I have loved all of the Sugababes albums and singles. Therefore I could not wait for this album to be released. I even pre-ordered it. But what a let down. What happened to the "kick ass" attitude and funky songs. Looks like Mutya took that with her!

Well, you can't accuse them of deception

 

 

Behind that ghastly tabloidese title lurks a collection of songs so circumscribed by the same tabloid attitudes that it's a surprise the sleeve photos don't come with red-penned circles pointing out the cold sores and cellulite bulges – except that, of course, any such imperfections would be airbrushed out of existence. But it's undeniable that Sugababes have now lost whatever momentum they retained when Mutya left. Nothing here surprises, because nothing lodges in the memory long enough to arouse the possibility of surprise – except for the single "Girls", their adaptation of Allen Toussaint's "Here Come the Girls", omnipresent for months in TV commercials; and maybe "Can We Call a Truce", the latest hit to (perhaps unknowingly) borrow from Pachelbel's Canon. Those apart, you'll struggle to summon up a singalong tune from Catfights and Spotlights's cycle of relationship clichés, from the disco dismissal of some feckless boyfriend in "You On a Good Day" ("Baby, that's you on a good day/ Disaster is always just a beat away"), through the contrasting attitudes to casual sex in "Side Chick" and "Unbreakable Heart", to the crass murder metaphors for pathological promiscuity proudly marshalled in "Every Heart Broken". Insipid, at best.

 

Pick of the album:'Girls', 'Can We Call a Truce'

 

1/5

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm just sat here laughing at the fact that any so-called 'review' would name Girls as the standout track.

 

And at you.
