Sugababes' Official Top 20 biggest songs

Sugababes have one of the finest back catalogues in British pop, as fans will rediscover when they tour the UK's arenas in April.

Ahead of the tour, they're dropping a new single called Jungle this Thurday (13 March). It's the group's first new music since their 2023 single When the Rain Comes and 2022 album The Lost Tapes, which featured tracks recorded by Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy during their initial reunion as MKS. 

Mutya, Keisha and Siobhán – the group's original line-up – won back the rights to the Sugababes name in 2019 and haven't looked back. But of course, the enviable chart record of this long-running pop institution is also built on the sterling work of previous members Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen. 

To celebrate the return of Sugababes with an absolute banger, we're revealing the group's Top 20 biggest songs in the UK, based on physical sales, downloads and streams combined. To date they've notched up 26 Top 40 singles in the UK, including six Number 1s, so their live shows always feature wall-to-wall bops.

The full chart appears at the bottom of the page, but first, let's take a look at the Top 5.

5. Freak Like Me

Released: 2002
Official Singles Chart peak: 1
UK chart units: 466,000

After founding member Siobhán left the group in 2001, Sugababes re-emerged a year later with new member Heidi and an even fiercer sound. Helmed by electropop producer Richard X, Freak Like Me was unusual at the time for being both a cover and a mashup: a re-work of Adina Howard's '90s R&B original with Tubeway Army's 1979 classic Are Friends Electric?. It earned the group their first Number 1 single and remains a staple of their live shows.

4. Round Round

Released: 2002
Official Singles Chart peak: 1
UK chart units: 499,000

Co-written with Brian Higgins' Xenomania collective – who are probably best known for their work with Girls Aloud – Round Round is a brilliant Frankenstein's monster of a pop song. Band members Heidi, Keisha and Mutya were each asked to write a verse to the same beat, before Xenomania cherry-picked the best bits and moulded them into the finished track. So, if it sounds as though they're singing about completely different things, that's because they actually are! There's no denying that Xenomania's unusual approach paid off, though: Round Round is a head-spinning delight that became the group's second Number 1 single. 

3. Too Lost in You

Released: 2003
Official Singles Chart peak: 10
UK chart units: 557,000

When it comes to which Sugababes ballad is the most iconic, there are two primary contenders: Stronger and Too Lost In You. The latter ranks significantly higher in their Top 20 countdown, placing third with over half a million chart units. Surprisingly, it only went as far as Number 10 on the singles chart - it was released during an incredibly competitive Christmas chart week - but its popularity endures thanks to its inclusion on the Love Actually soundtrack. Written by pop's go-to woman for power ballads, Diane Warren, Too Lost In You is as goose-pimple-inducing as they come. 

2. Push the Button

Released: 2005
Official Singles Chart peak: 1
UK chart units: 1.07 milion

Written about Keisha's failed attempts at flirting with another singer, Push the Button saw Sugababes team up with esteemed US producer Dallas Austin (TLC, Pink). The result was a glistening electropop gem with hints of ABBA in its DNA and a truly memorable spoken word part. Released as the lead single from their Taller in More Ways album, it became the group's fourth Number 1 hit  – deserved! And it's since become one of two million-sellers in their catalogue.  

1. About You Now

Released: 2007
Official Singles Chart peak: 1
UK chart units: 1.41 milion

Sugababes have always delivered a killer lead single, and About You Now is no exception. Co-written by the great Cathy Dennis, its perky production and fizzing synths pushed their sound into the electro-pop-rock territory that was big at the time (see Kelly Clarkson's Since U Been Gone, Rihanna's Shut Up and Drive). About You Now spent four weeks at Number 1 – their longest chart-leader -– and remains their most-streamed song to this day.
