[edit] History
The album was produced by Cameron McVey, who produced the first album by All Saints. It was released to rave reviews, with critics hailing the three, who were all 16 years old at the time, for writing and singing songs that were considered to be unusually mature for their age. The album debuted at a dissapinting number 75 selling 5,720 copies but 4 months after this original release hit a peak position of #26 selling 22,000 copies. That's the album highest peak position to date. The album sold 180,000 copies in the UK and 650.000 worldwide. It had low sales due to the fact that the album flopped almost everywhere but it obtained a gold certification in Germany for selling 100,000 copies and a silver certification in Japan for sales of over 50,000.
The album was recorded throughout 1999
[edit] Release and reception
The album's first official single, titled "Overload," was released on September 11, 2000 in the UK. The song, produced by Cameron McVey, became Sugababes' first top ten single in the United Kingdom, reaching number six. The album also spawned three more top 30 singles: New Year, Run for Cover and Soul Sound.
