User:Sugababes (Group)

Sugababes are a British pop girl group, formed in 1997, currently consisting of members Heidi Range, Amelle Berrabah and Jade Ewen.

The group originally formed as an R&B quartet consisting of 14 year old Range along with Celena Cherry (20), Naima Belkihati (23) and Heavenli Denton (22). Range struggled to get along with Denton and Belkihati and left after the group released their debut album "Always & Forever" which was certified 4x Platinum in the UK. The now trio released a further two singles before Denton quit the group in March 1998. Range, now 15, returned to the group for the release of their second album "Wonder No. 8" which was not as successful, peaking at #90 in the UK and after the group signed to Def Jam Records in America, she quit the group for a second time in the middle of promoting the group's seventh single "Love Of A Lifetime".

She was replaced by 21 year old Mariama Goodman and the new line-up re-recorded their second album and it was re-issued in November 1999 reaching #30 in the UK. Less than a year after joining, and just three singles, Goodman quit the group and was replaced by a now 16 year old Range along with new members 14 year old Mutya Buena and 15 year old Keisha Buchanan. Upon hearing the news, Belkihati quit the group. This line-up, consisting of Range, Cherry, Buena and Buchanan lasted just two single releases before Range again quit the group before management fired Cherry from the group leaving it with no original members.

Buena and Buchanan, now both 15, were joined by 16 year old Siobhan Donaghy, and their third album "One Touch" was released, peaking at #26 in the UK. After 14 months in the group, Donaghy quit due to issues with Buchanan which saw original member Range return for her fourth stint with the group. Range, Buena and Buchanan released three UK top ten albums and nine UK top ten singles between 2002 and 2005 when Buena decided to leave the group to work on solo projects. She was replaced by 21 year old Amelle Berrabah and the new line-up saw the release of two UK top ten albums and eleven singles before Buchanan was fired from the group in September 2009 due to arguments which led to Berrabah and Range wanting to quit the group. Buchanan was replaced by Jade Ewen and along with Berrabah and Range, she has released one album and three singles between 2009 and 2011. The group have been on hiatus since November 2011 with new music rumored for release in 2013.
