First hitting the charts in 2000 with 'Overload' the Sugababes were originally made up of band members Mutya Buena, Keisha Buchanan and Siobhán Donaghy. Over the years, various changes were made, before the three original members reformed as we see them today!

The Sugababes' beginnings
Keisha and Mutya, along with Siobhán Donaghy started the Sugababes in 1998, when they were just 11 and 12-years-old, with Keisha admitting that they never wanted to be pop stars. Explaining to Hits Radio, Keisha said: "We never wanted to be like celebrities, we were literally just girls. Me and Mutya met when we were eight-years-old, and so we were literally just singing in school.
"And then we got the opportunity to you know, go in the studio after school. There wasn't so much emphasis on the celebrity world back then. Remember, you didn't have X Factor and loads of things like that, so for us, we were able to, I guess keep humble, because the main goal was just we got to sing and make music."
Keisha continued: "I guess afterwards then you're like, we get to go on stage too! Oh we get to meet people like we grew up with, and that's when we kind of thought, 'oh OK, we're a little bit different'."
Throughout the years, the Sugababes have had six UK Number 1s and five Top 10 albums, including hits such as 'Push the Button', 'Round Round' and 'About You Now'.
The Sugababes' career
Throughout the years, the Sugababes have released eight albums, a massive 36 singles, and been on nine headline tours, as well as many other festivals and one-off gigs.
Going on to reflect on their career, the band reminisced about some of their most unforgettable performances, saying that Glastonbury was up there. Mutya explained: "Glastonbury is always one, yeah. Do you know what? I think a lot of the festivals we do, we've always had like different feels for them, and it's always been good."
Keisha added: "We've done Glastonbury maybe three times, Mutya and myself, we did well obviously, but to shut down a field one year, and come back again and do that... that was great."
