The Overloaded Singles Tour is a 2007 concert tour by British pop trio the Sugababes in support of their first Greatest Hits album touring the United Kingdom and Ireland. The tour was the second with new member Amelle Berrabah, after co-founder Mutya Buena quit the band in late December 2005.

To coincide with their Top 3 greatest hits album in 2006, the Sugababes announced they would be touring throughout the UK and Ireland from March 2007. With a recent #1 number single (Walk This Way featuring Girls Aloud) and another Top 10 hit with Easy, popular demand for the live shows was outstanding.
Alongside all of the previous hits, the girls added a special medley of album tracks they had wished to be singles. As well as that, they gave their own spin on Primal Scream's Rocks, and added a tinge of Nelly Furtado's Maneater to Easy.
The group didn't use much choreography in the set, but does include minimal dancing during some songs. This was the smallest tour the group had done, but was described by some critics as "humble" and "private". Heidi Range said it was like a big festival to tour the show, being able to sing songs from the past and present.
The show begins with 'Red Dress' and is followed by 'In The Middle', where they are just walking from side to side not using any choreography. The show continued with their number one hit 'Round Round' followed by their debut single 'Overload'. The vocal arrangement was changed for the live performance, with Keisha singing Siobhan Donaghy's vocals and Amelle singing Mutya Buena's. Heidi sang backing vocals on Amelle's verse. 'Run For Cover' was the next track, in which Heidi took over singing the final bridge. 'Caught In A Moment' was performed on the staircase in the middle of the stage.
The group then performed a medley of album tracks they would have liked to have been released as singles. Amelle sang 'Obsession' from Taller In More Ways, Heidi chose 'Nasty Ghetto' from Three and Keisha performed 'Whatever Makes You Happy', her solo song from Three. The final song of part one was closed by 'Stronger', but in some shows it was replaced by 'Shape'
Part two begins with 'Walk This Way', their duet with Girls Aloud which was released as a charity single. Cheryl Cole and Kimberley Walsh's vocals were performed by Amelle Berrabah, Nadine Coyle's vocals performed by Keisha Buchanan and those of Sarah Harding and Nicola Roberts sang by Heidi Range.
'Too Lost In You' is the next song which leads into an acoustic set cosisting of 'Ugly', 'Breathe Easy' and 'Rocks'. 'Easy' and 'Freak Like Me' were the final songs of the set, but most nights the group performed an encore consisting of 'Push The Button' and 'Hole In The Head'.
