About
U.K pop trio, Sugarbabes was formed on 1998. Siobhan Donaghy, Keisha Buchanan, and Mutya Buena shared thesame passion such as hip-hop, and dance music. Buchanan and Buena were friends since primary school then met Donaghy the trio was inseperable ever since. Sugababes were just a group of friend who enjoyed singing along to the radio. They didn't have plans to join the music industry. In 2000, they were given a contract in London. They recorded tracks that were co-written by the trio. They released their debut album One Touch. The single "Overload" was a hit but unfortunately the sales didn't reach their expectations.
In 2001, Donaghy dropped out of the group and was replaced by Atomic Kittens Heidi Range. They released their second album Angels With Dirty Faces, under Island Records. The singles, "Freak Like Me" and "Round Round", peaked at #1 on the U.K. Chart. In 2003, the trio's third album, Three, reached at #3 on the U.K. Album Chart. The single "Hole in the Head" reached #1 in U.S. and U.K. Two years later, a fourth album was released, Taller In More Ways. Shortly after Buena left the group and the album went Platinum.
