Overloaded: The Singles Collection, referred to simply as Overloaded, is the first greatest hits album of English girl group Sugababes. The album was released in the United Kingdom on 13 November 2006, almost one year following the departure of founding member Mutya Buena. According to band member Keisha Buchanan, its release was important "so we don't have to relive history all the time".[1] A corresponding DVD featuring the group's music videos and a remix version of the album were also released.

Overloaded features twelve of the group's singles, four of which reached number one in the UK. The Sugababes collaborated with members from Orson to produce two new tracks for the album, "Easy" and "Good to Be Gone". Their previous singles "New Year", "Soul Sound", "Angels with Dirty Faces" and "Follow Me Home" are not included on the album, although "Run for Cover" is featured on the UK version. Overloaded received positive reviews from music critics, who praised it as a reflection of the group's success.

The album debuted at number three in the UK and was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI). By October 2008, the album had sold 600,000 copies in the country. Overloaded additionally reached the top 20 in Ireland and Portugal and the top 40 in Austria, Denmark, Germany, the Netherlands, Norway and Switzerland. "Easy" was released as the album's lead and only single; it reached the top-ten in Belgium, Slovakia and the UK. To promote Overloaded, the Sugababes performed at the 100 Club in London as part of the album launch and embarked on Overloaded: The Singles Tour in 2007.

Background

Shortly following the release of the Sugababes' fourth studio album, Taller in More Ways, it was announced in December 2005 that founding group member Mutya Buena had left the band.[2] Two singles were subsequently released from the album featuring new group member Amelle Berrabah, who was announced as Buena's replacement 24 hours after her departure.[3] In June 2006, the Sugababes began working on their fifth studio album which was confirmed for release in 2007. However, group member Heidi Range also revealed that a greatest hits album would be released in time for Christmas 2006, which would include all of the group's hits.[4] When rumors arose that the release of the album was premature, band member Keisha Buchanan responded: "We'd already started planning the Greatest Hits anyway." She explained how it was essential for the album to be released following Buena's departure, saying: "When Mutya left, we decided it was even more important, we should do this as closure so we don't have to relive history all the time."[5] Group member Heidi Range also reflected upon this, saying: "When Mutya was still in the band the greatest hits was always planned for this time anyway. But when she left it seemed even more appropriate."[6]

Release and content

"This is a chance to prove people wrong because this is the second line-up change and when we've had line-up changes people have had their opinions on how long we'll last. With Mutya leaving, we've heard about us not being able to go on. But we know we enjoy performing live and Amelle has a fantastic voice. So long as the fans like us and we enjoy it, we'll be able to carry on. It's nice to be able to prove people wrong."[1]

Keisha Buchanan speaking to Daily Record in regard to the line-up change.

Overloaded was released in the UK on 13 November 2006.[7][8] In addition, a remix album titled Overloaded: The Remix Collection and a greatest hits DVD, Overloaded: The Videos Collection were released on the same day.[9] Despite being reported that Overloaded would be released in the United States on 5 December 2006, the album was not made available in the country.[10] The artwork for Overloaded features Buchanan, Range and Berrabah wearing black dresses against a dark, plain background. Inside the album booklet are the lyrics and credits for the tracks, individual close-up pictures of the members, and a thank you note from the Sugababes.[11] According to Dorian Lynskey of The Guardian, the group looks "positively regal" on the album cover.[12]

The album contains twelve of the group's previous singles, four of which reached number one in the UK: "Freak Like Me", "Round Round", "Hole in the Head" and "Push the Button".[7][13] The Sugababes collaborated with members from Orson to produce two brand new tracks for the album, "Easy" and "Good to Be Gone", the former of which was released as the album's lead single on 6 November 2006.[13] Buchanan spoke upon the collaboration, saying: "When we started working with the Orson guys the sound just blew us away – it's so fresh, but has the same qualities as the biggest songs of our career. It's perfect for this album."[14] Regarding the development of "Easy", Range said: "At first I just didn't like the song at all. We also recorded a song called Good To Be Gone. I really liked that. But we went in to do Easy and when I came out of the studio I phoned the girls and told them: 'I don't like that song at all. I'm not into it.' They really liked it though. The next day I went back in and listened to it and I loved it. Now it is probably one of my favourite songs out of all we've ever done."[1] Despite being titled The Singles Collection, the album does not contain all of the group's previous singles; "New Year", "Soul Sound", "Angels with Dirty Faces" and "Follow Me Home" are omitted, although "Run for Cover" is included as a bonus track on the UK version.[11] "Red Dress" was re-recorded to feature the vocals of Berrabah instead of Buena following the latter's departure from the group.[15]

Overloaded received positive reviews from music critics. Andy Kellman of Allmusic gave the album four and a half stars out of five. He praised the tracks as "an ideal introduction" to the Sugababes, while noting that the new songs recorded with Berrabah "indicate that the group hasn't lost any of its momentum".[7] Daily Record journalist Rick Fulton gave the album a full five-star rating, saying: "Changing members can't dampen the winning formula of Sugababes – sassy vocals over electro beats".[16] He concluded that Overloaded proves the group as the UK's best.[16] Dorian Lynskey of The Guardian rated it four out of five stars, saying that the group's longetivity "practically makes them the Status Quo of the genre".[12] The Herald Sun's Cameron Adams noted that the album is a reminder of "what a good pop act" the Sugababes are, although he was less favorable of the new tracks.[15]

Jack Foley of Indie London wrote that the Sugababes delivered a "pertinent, sassy reminder" of why they achieved long-term success, and felt that the album "provides several neat reminders of past glories".[17] musicOMH journalist Steve Hands gave the album five out of five stars, writing that it represents why the Sugababes have discovered "a new formula for pop longevity".[8] Stuart McCaighy of This Is Fake DIY concluded that Overloaded is "awash with hits" and portrays why the group were named the most successful female act of the 21st century.[19] Tim Fenney from Pitchfork Media gave Overloaded and eight and a half out of ten rating; he praised the more emotional tracks on the album, writing: "While people may remember the group for their frothy pop, their greatest hits collection Overloaded is equally impressive for its devastatingly earnest balladry".[18]

Commercial performance

Overloaded debuted and peaked at number three on the UK Albums Chart,[20] selling 57,284 copies in its first week of release,[21] becoming the Sugababes' fourth consecutive top-three album.[22] The following week, it dropped to number eight on sales of 45,991.[23] In its third week on the chart, Overloaded dropped seven places to number 15, although rebounded to number eleven in its fourth week on sales of 66,956.[24] It spent ten weeks inside the top 40 and lasted 37 weeks on the chart in total.[20] Overloaded was certified Platinum by the British Phonographic Industry for shipping 300,000 copies.[25] By October 2007, the album had sold approximately 500,000 copies in the UK alone.[26] In October 2008, Music Week reported that the album had sold close to 600,000 copies in the UK.[27] In Ireland, Overloaded debuted and peaked at number 12 on 16 November 2006. It was certified Platinum by the Irish Recorded Music Association, denoting shipments of 15,000 copies.[28]

Singles

"Easy" was released on 6 November 2006 as the lead single from Overloaded, one week prior to the album's release.[39] The song was written by Jason Pebworth and George Astasio in collaboration with the group's members–Buchanan, Range and Berrabah, and produced by the former two along with Brio Taliaferro.[11] "Easy" received positive reviews from critics, with IndieLondon's Jack Foley praising the sound as "fresh and contemporary" and This Is Fake DIY's Stuart McCaighy commending the production and "seductive" lyrics.[17][19] "Easy" went top-ten in Belgium, Slovakia and the UK,[40] and reached the top 40 in almost every other country it charted on.[41] "Good to Be Gone" was due to be released as the second and final single from the album in early 2007, although this was soon canceled after the Sugababes collaborated with fellow girl group Girls Aloud on the Comic Relief single, "Walk This Way".[42] The song went to number-one in the UK.[43]

Album launch and tour

On 3 October 2006, the Sugababes performed at the 100 Club, London, as part of the album launch for Overloaded. The 80-minute show[44] experienced a power cut and technicians were called to the scene; performing resumed one hour later.[45] Backed by a live band, every track featured on the album was performed.[46] Betty Clarke of The Guardian gave the performance three out of five star rating, describing them "as glossy as thoroughbreds, styled like Topshop mannequins", although acknowledging: "when the singing stops, the cracks appear".[47] A journalist for MTV UK wrote, "Looking fab but not over-styled in skinny jeans, the girls still have the unpolished edge we love 'em for".[46]

In early-November 2006, the Sugababes announced that they would embark on a tour in 2007 to promote Overloaded.[48] The tour comprised 13 show dates in the UK and Ireland, starting from 27 March 2007 in Dublin Point, and ending at the London Wembley Arena on 13 April 2007,[49] the latter of which was their first headline performance.[50] Amongst the cities they visited included Manchester, Sheffield and Nottingham.[51] The tour also featured a merchandise stall that sold t-shirts with the slogan "I'm the Next Sugababe".[52] A journalist for Daily Mirror wrote: "From the still-brilliant Overload to the tender Too Lost In You, the hits kept on coming as the crowd screeched louder with every song."[50] The Sugababes also performed a cover version of "Rocks" by Scottish alternative rock band, Primal Scream.[50]
