Sugababes – Ugly

‘Ugly’ proved the Sugababes were taller in more ways and stronger than ever…until everything changed a few weeks after it was released.

‘Please Stay’ was the fourth – and final – single from ‘Light Years’ in the UK…but it came at the expense of a fan-favourite.

With Christmas fast approaching, ’90s pop music tradition dictated that it was finally time for Steps to release a ballad.

In just under three minutes, the Spice Girls changed the face of pop music forever with their debut single.

It may be sacrilegious to some, but ‘Do You Know (I Go Crazy)’ was a stroke of genius and terrifically well-executed by Angel City.

‘I Want You Back’ was a watershed moment for the Spice Girls as Melanie B became the first to break rank and release a solo single.

‘On A Night Like This’ was a pivotal release for Kylie Minogue, confirming her triumphant comeback was so much more than a gimmick.

While not strictly the lead single, ‘Scream If You Wanna Go Faster’ felt a proper introduction to Geri Halliwell’s second album.

‘Look At Me’ saw Geri Halliwell face her demons head-on as she launched her solo career a year after leaving the Spice Girls.

‘World Of Our Own’ was the perfect summation for this era of Westlife’s career as they broke free of the balladry that once defined them.

‘Spice Up Your Life’ saw the Spice Girls launch their second album with another signature hit, while this time stamping their trademark all over it.

‘When I Said Goodbye’ saw Steps follow the rule that every pop act must release a ballad once per album, even if no one really wanted them to.
