It's been a slightly tumultuous but hugely successful ride to the top for UK superstars The Sugababes. They've lost not one, but two band members since forming in 1998, but have nonetheless achieved three Brit Awards, an ESKA, a slew of chart hits (including four number ones), four well-received LPs and - more recently - an inclusion in the Guinness Book Of Records for 'Best Female Act Of The Century'. Overloaded, their fifth official album, is a Greatest Hits package, bringing together most of their main singles so far. Beginning with their Richard X produced hit "Freak Like Me" (their first number one), the album profiles most of their hits, including all their most addictive moments - such as "Hole In The Head", "Round, Round" and "Push The Button" - but excluding more lukewarm releases like "New Year", "Soul Sound", "Angels With Dirty Faces" and "Follow Me Home". There's some new material too, notably "Easy", the band's lascivious collaboration with Californian rock band Orson, and the catchy "Good To Be Gone", which is slated to be the second single from the album. --Danny McKenna

Customer Reviews

How could anyone possibly rate this lower than five stars??
I can't think of any reason for why people gives this album three or even one star??? How can you critisize an album which is made up by previous hit singles. After my opinion a Single Collection is never bad, and especially not this.
Here are all the favorite Sugababes songs gathered on one cd. Could it get any better?! No, of course not!!

Every single track on this cd is splendid; the no 1 hits Push the Button, Hole in the Head, Round,Round, and Freak like Me gives you a good headach. And not too mension the hit ballads Too lost in you, Stronger, and Ugly. And the new and sexy single Easy gives the single collection the final touch.
But we must not forget the other top-charts songs that is to find here; Red Dress, In the Middle, Shape, Caught in a Moment, Overload,Run for Cover and Good to be Gone(the second new and groovie song)

THIS GREATEST HIT ALBUM IS A MUUSST FOR EVERYONE WHO BREATHS!!!

excellent value for money
Sugababes are in my opinion, the best girl band around and have been for many years. They consistantly release great songs. I have always liked the Sugababes' songs but have never bought any of their albums, so when I saw this greatest hits album and recognised many of the track names, I thought it would be good value for money. I can listen to the whole album without skipping over any tracks which is a good sign!

Some great songs. AWFUL SOUND IS TOO LOUD!!!!!!!!!
I appreciate I'm in a minority on this, but being a long standing audio buff, I HATE the way these great pop somgs have been ANNIHILATED by the powers that created and mastered this compilation!! My wife knows I like some of the songs on here and surprised me with this as a cheeky Christmas present this morning.

Record companies are the scourge of the earth for many recording artistes. They take the raw talent, "style" it to look good on camera, "auto-tune" their voices in the studio so they sound like pitch perfect robots, cream off the profits and then dump these people without ceremony when their success slackens off. Fortunately, the Sugarbabes have had a very long career by pop stars' standards and there seems no sign as yet it'll come to an end.

This compilation has some great songs on it, thoughtfully composed and arranged, but as is becoming usual these days, the powers that be have wanted any possible quality in the sound totally squashed up and boosted excessively in volume in the mistaken belief that kids with iPods won't notice! The original versions aren't that good soundwise, but this compilation is FAR worse in sound quality, with the sound pumping up and down in level and loud bits "sat on." GHASTLY!

I feel personally that this is an extremely patronising attitude and that the listener (on whatever sound system she or he uses) deserves to hear these songs better than this. Why not put the compression in the players themselves like some in-car CD players do? I feel angry that my reasonable HiFi system sounds little better than our Panasonic Telly (or medium wave radio) when playing these tracks.

I wish more listeners would complain as I know I'm not alone in feeling this way. Why else would there be several versions of an Amy Winehouse album, all with different levels of compression on the individual masterings?

My advice, Try to get the original CD singles!

Recommended for the car only! iPods and decent sound systems deserve better than this!
