Gorgeous! :wub:

The Pop Anthology YouTube channel has been uploading the MKS material (much of it more polished than the initial leaks) over the past few weeks. This one is completely new to me, however! snMb57dx2lw

Had to share this here, as it's quite the milestone. Too Lost In You is such a hit. :heart: @1448200522876477440

Transcribed by some kind soul (fancygreen) on PJ. Highlighted the 'juicy' bits:

Totally ridiculous! :puke2: So glad you'll have it soon, though.

Still hanging on! One Touch iTunes: #121 United Kingdom (NE) Apple Music: #130 Fiji (NE) #161 Belarus (NE)

Nice! :wub: Some activity on their socials today: @1448301387117469707 This is amazing! Justice for All Around The World. @1448331559581401094 I've always wanted them to give New Year a Christmas 'push'. Hopefully they do the same on their Spotify nearer the time. Just glad they haven't disappeared altogether. I was half expecting that post-release.

:lol: Exactly! At least then it would've been a more comprehensive collection of the Island years.

:lol:

:wub:

A complete must. :wub: Beyond the incredible material, the CD itself comes in the classic London design.

Thank God for those cassettes. :wub: :o A big jump on the UK iTunes chart today - back in the Top 100 at #96. Also #30 on the Fiji Apple Music chart. :lol:

Yep. Clearly Universal were being opportunists here, but it completely backfired. Had they not been so lazy with things (for one, a decent design and tracklist, and a cover featuring the best known lineup of the Island years), and not thrown this out on the exact same week as the reissue, I think it could've been slightly more successful - we're a very loyal fanbase, after all. All they did was make themselves look even worse than they do already - especially with the careful attention to detail that was invested in the One Touch campaign. There's no escaping the fact that the brand was, and continues to be, damaged. However, the underperformance of Flatline (a poorly promoted/released standalone single without the Sugababes name) was so misleading. As the One Touch reissue shows, there's a lot of love for the Originals (even if it doesn't quite match the love for 2.0). If they can get Sacred Three out there at last, I think it could do wonders for them. With all the chaos of the lineups over the years, seeing the Originals thrive again just feels so right.

It's exhausting. :lol: Call for a BuzzJack app!

One Touch is at #11 in this week's ARIA Top 20 Vinyl Albums chart. :wub:

Interview with Siobhan and Mutya about Overload:

I think we're all really struggling! :lol: And understandably so. What a collection of songs. I went with Little Lady Love in the end. I really think this track had so much more potential.

Now that most of us have had some time to digest the 'new' material, if you could have chosen one of the seven tracks to have made the final One Touch tracklist, what would it have been?

Sugababes came 12th in PPL's (a music licensing company) analysis of the UK's most played female artist of 21st century! https://www.musicweek.com/talent/read/ppl-r...ttle-mix/084318

Still beaming with delight about this! That streaming though. Ouch! We need to do something about that next time round. :lol:

Yay! It is indeed. I was actually taken aback by how good it looks in real life. The gold foil is such a nice touch. And I love that they paid tribute to the old London releases with the Amazon Exclusive CD. :wub:

:blink: Angels anniversary edition cancelled.

That's how I'm seeing it! And that posted/swiftly deleted/re-uploaded-minus-audio Insta from Mutya has to mean something. :wub: :lol:

YESSSSSS! Time to drop another announcement so we can keep this madness going. :dance:

Thank you so much, Jay! :wub: Loved that interview. And also love the fact that there's still hope that the MKS material will see the light of day. Siobhan's right in saying it's some of their very best material, too.
