The lineup has changed several times before returning to the original lineup in 2019. Formed in 1998 by All Saints manager Ron Tom, Sugababes released their debut album One Touch in November 2000, which achieved moderate success and produced the top-ten single "Overload". In 2001, Donaghy departed the group and was replaced by Heidi Range. In December 2005, Buena left the group and was replaced by Amelle Berrabah.
In September 2009, after 11 years in Sugababes, Buchanan was replaced by Jade Ewen. The sugarbabes then released the group's seventh studio album, Sweet 7 (2010), before taking an indefinite hiatus in 2011.
That year, the original lineup reformed as Mutya Keisha Siobhan. The trio regained the name Sugababes in 2019, and recorded a rendition of the song "Flowers" with DJ Spoony.
Sugababes have achieved six number-one singles: "Freak like Me", "Round Round", "Hole in the Head", "Push the Button", "Walk This Way" and "About You Now".
They have also released five UK top ten albums, four of which were certified Platinum in the UK,
They have been nominated for six Brit Awards, winning for Best British Dance Act in 2003.
They have been a long-term fixture in the British tabloids due to their several line-up changes and alleged group infighting.
