Taller In More Ways (Re-Issue) (2006)	Overloaded: The Singles Collection (2006)	TBA (2007)

Overloaded: The Singles Collection is a greatest hits compilation album from the Sugababes that released on 13 November 2006. Contrary to initial reports that vocals from departed Sugababes Mutya Buena and Siobhán Donaghy were going to be re-recorded by Heidi Range and Amelle Berrabah, all the original vocals were kept for the compilation.

The lead single for the greatest hits is "Easy" and was released 6 November 2006. "Easy" made its premiere on The Scott Mills Show on BBC Radio 1 on 12 September 2006. The Greatest Hits title is a spin on the groups debut single "Overload."

The second single for the greatest hits, "Good To Be Gone", was expected to be released January 2007,^{[citation needed]} but plans to release the single "Walk This Way", a collaboration with Girls Aloud for Comic Relief was announced and the release was cancelled.

Universal Music Mexico decided to release the album, as Sugababes' second release in the country (their first album, "One Touch" was released through Warner but flopped; further releases were cancelled), the Mexican edition of the album was released on December 1st.^[1] The Mexican edition has the same track listing as the European Edition.^[2]

[edit] Notes

• Only the standard edition is available on physical CD; the deluxe and remix albums are download-only exclusives.
• A stand-alone Overloaded DVD was released simultaneously and features a karaoke element.
• A tour is planned for 2007.

Misc:

• UK-only singles "New Year", "Soul Sound", "Angels with Dirty Faces" (Double A-side with "Stronger") and "Follow Me Home" are not included on the collection due to low chart position entries. This however caused slight confusion for fans due the fact that "New Year" charted a little higher than "Run for Cover", and was not included on the release. This might be due to Donaghy's strong presence on the song; she has no solos on "Run for Cover".
• This will not mark the end of the Sugababes career, as this compilation is only to close their journey with former founding member, Mutya Buena.
• The Sugababes are now recording new tracks for their next studio album, their first full album with Amelle Berrabah, and their 5th studio album that is expected to be released in summer 2007.
