Volume I is the debut studio album by all-female German pop group Queensberry, released by Warner Music on 12 December 2008 (see 2008 in music) in German-speaking Europe, following the band's formation on the television talent show Popstars. Including production by Alex Geringas, E. Haines, Pete Kirtley, Obi Mhondera, Billy Steinberg, and Peter-John Vettese among others, it features the promotional single "No Smoke" as well as the group's debut single "I Can't Stop Feeling".

Released a week prior to the announcement of the fourth member of quartet line-up on the show's finale, the album produced three versions, each featuring a different Popstars contestant, competing to become part of the Queensberry group, including Katharina "KayKay" Kobert, Patricia Ivanauskas or Antonella Trapani. At the same time, a promo video for "No Smoke" starring the final 6 girls was launched. However, after the band had been completely formed, a new cut of the song, minus Katharina and Patricia, became the official promo video.

On 26 June 2009, Volume I was re-released as a Deluxe Edition featuring seven additional tracks, including the new single "Too Young".
