It's one of the singles I always forget, but then I come back to it and absolutely love it again. Despite the dodgy audio problems, this performance is really strong: 9vZtVZ7gYTw And 10000% Tommie. :wub: It was rumoured to be third single (its instrumental was even sent to TV), but plans were changed in the end.

I can see why it was a big hit... but they've delivered much stronger material. Some of the other #1s deserved AYN's success (and more).

Of their Xenomania collaborations, what are your standout tracks? I'll need some time with this one. :wub:

From Compare My Radio: Stronger's at #6 with 31 plays. Not that it means much, but I love how popular HITH remains to this day. They always were such a force with airplay. :wub:

Agreed! There were some wasted opportunities with Change. My Love Is Pink should've been the second single, purely for the sake of securing another Top 10. They could've then followed up with Never Gonna Dance Again and Denial.

^ And quite rightly so. Get Sexy needs to depart from that Top 10 immediately. Overload should pass 7 million plays this week! :wub:

Such a difficult choice. I'm torn between Hole In The Head and Round Round, but I have to go with the latter - it made me a fully fledged fan.

Didn't really want to include Walk This Way... but wasn't willing to discount one of their precious #1s. :lol:

^ Ouch. That made me chuckle. :P Do we think it would've even made Top 40 if they'd pressed ahead with the release?

I know. They literally did nothing when they were sitting on THIS material. Poor MKS.

Yep, and just for us - New Year made 300k! :wub:

January 2018 - Increases since October 2017 1. About You Now | 18,736,798 + 2,781,950 (Radio Edit) + 1,866,199 (Radio One Live Lounge) + 606,006 (Acoustic Version) = 24,996,953 (+3,038,779) 2. Push The Button | 22,527,561 + 380,738 (Acoustic Version) = 22,908,299 (+1,609,709) 3. Too Lost In You | 13,476,213 + 1,799,358 (Radio Edit) + 1,235,489 (Love Actually Version) = 16,511,060 (+2,096,407) 4. Overload | 6,865,368 (+525,235) 5. Get Sexy | 6,407,419 (+208,603) 6.

Freak Like Me | 3,434,539 (+217,793) 10. Stronger | 3,185,040 (+182,649) Some juicy increases for the top 3! Amongst the less popular singles, Change and Caught In A Moment aren't too far off 1 million plays. :wub:

They've started already! One Touch and Revolution In Me are available in the US now, apparently.

Why not!? :lol: Remember the preview from the advert? 8d_f3iXXwzo And then the video we got in the end...

Similarly, I saw Ghosts' chart update and made an immediate pity buy. One of the best decisions I ever made!

Why did Flatline even happen!? The other material was much better suited to leading the campaign. So much potential.

^ Too true. Keisha's departure was extremely damaging to them all.

Mutya and Keisha sound really alike at times, I agree. I notice it in certain parts of Catfights in particular.

Good choice! Probably my fave on the album, along with Unbreakable Heart. :wub:

I'll probably add Siobhan's stats at some point. Not like it'll take long... :cry:

Such a classic Suga ballad. LOVE it!

As much as Get Sexy was frontloaded in sales, I think there was still some interest in the band at that point to reach #2 in the charts. I'm under no illusions that Sweet 7 would've been a multi-platinum success, but I genuinely think Keisha's presence, and their sticking to the original plans, would've resulted in more of a fruitful era. Thank You For The Heartbreak/Wait For You should've been single #3, showing at least some identity as 'Sugababes'. They'd probably have split after Sweet 7 anyway. :lol:

Back with another (random) update! Europe's love affair with Overload continuing into 2018. :wub: Overload - #171 (Denmark) Overloaded - #120 (Fiji) On a side note, I've spent the past few weeks compiling a worldwide sales/discography archive for 1.0-4.0/MKS/Mutya's solo career. Tried to make it as complete as possible, but if anyone has any updated sales/European/worldwide stats then that would be massively appreciated. https://thesugababes.weebly.com

Shame! She's very talented and worked super hard over the years to break into the industry. It seemed so promising in 2009 with Never Leave You, but Sweet 7/Freedom definitely did a lot of damage for her credibility I think.
