Singles from Overloaded
  1. "Easy"
    Released: November 6, 2006

Overloaded is the collection of the greatest singles, the remixes, the napster live sessions and the video clips compilation album from the Sugababes that released on 13 November 2006. It has five parts: The Singles Collection, The Remix Collection, The Napster Live Sessions, The Deluxe Edition/Live Collection and The Videos Collection. 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 group's 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 were 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]

In June 2008, the album returned to the top 50 on the iTunes album download chart, almost two years after entering the chart.
