So they've just vanished again?

Freedom comes out for free & they fall off the face of the Earth? What's happening with them??

by **artziboi** » 30 Nov 2011, 18:42

They are planning another strike with better guns in early 2012 I heard?

by **schizophonic_spice** » 30 Nov 2011, 20:15

I dont know what to expect from them but all Im hoping for is to see the 8th album some time in 2012. Heidi is doing Dancing on Ice in January so hopefully she does well.

Apparently the Freedom download got 70k downloads from amazon according to twitter so even when free the interest is still there.

They're preparing for an amazing performance at the 2012 Olympics.

Well Jade was on the ITV2 I'm A Celeb the other week!

Amelle's dating Bruno Mars according to some people!

by **Benji_V** » 30 Nov 2011, 23:21

See all these UK reality shows they're on & such, how Emma Bunton of them!

I just thought we might know at least about a release date for a new single by now.

by **Jay** » 01 Dec 2011, 00:44

I don't think there's ever been an official source for the 70,000 free downloads things.

by **Jamie** » 01 Dec 2011, 15:24

70k? They wish.

by **IER** » 01 Dec 2011, 18:30

Even 70k is kind of a flop for a free download anyway.

18 out of 21 of their singles have sold more than 70k. Even 'Wear My Kiss' managed to sell more than 100k, so imagine how badly 'Freedom' would've done if they had made a full not-for-free release, they woukd've been lucky to outsell their least selling single ever (Shape - 55k).

Seeing how people have lost insterest in them and how the Sweet 7 singles ended up selling more than 100k each. I think they should've kept on promoting Sweet 7 with more singles. The songs were already recorded and the album was already out... So the label and management would've saved a lot of money if they had tried harder with that album instead of moving on to the 8th one. Even with the Keisha drama being so present around them they still managed to release 2 singles with average success.

I think you forgot a few of their singles, Follow Me Home & Soul Sound are by far the worst selling Sugababes singles!

I would imagine Island are completely fine with cutting their losses and letting go of the Sugababes at the stage they did. It's now Sony who have a dead-in-the-water band on their books, a band who have so far sold *zero* records for their company.

^ But why the heck did they sign them if they don't believe in them? :confused:

by **Jay** » 02 Dec 2011, 01:06

I guess they must have had some belief in them to start with, but then they got very nervous when they saw how bad the response to Freedom was. Now it seems they've put them firmly on hold until the spring.

Apart from "the free single" blip, by the time they release their next single / album it'll have been 2 years since Wear My Kiss & Sweet 7 were in the charts. :dizzy:

Kind of crazy how long the process is taking.

I really wish they released more from Sweet 7 (No More You was screaming for a release!). I understand why they decided to leave the album when it failed to sell (and also understand that with the Keisha backlash that was/still is happening a single called No More You would've been catastrophic).

lol I checked this thread viewtopic.php?f=122&t=185646 and scrolled down to see if there was some kind of update, which there was and I took that as a reference. Didn't notice it wasn't a full list. :oops:

by **Unwritten10** » 04 Dec 2011, 20:38

They should just call a day, srly. Bring the original babes back

by **IER** » 08 Dec 2011, 20:21

Why do people think that a 4.0 break up will automatically transform into a 1.0 come-back?

by **TeddyBear** » 08 Dec 2011, 20:23

^because the name will be free?

by **Jay** » 13 Dec 2011, 22:24

I thought this would be an appropriate thread to ask this in. If you guys start typing Sugababes on Google, do you find that no instant results come up anymore? :dizzy:

When I've typed as much as 'Sugab' it only offers 'Sugababz', and when I've typed 'Sugababes' in full, it's blank until I press enter to complete the search.

Weird. Let me know if the same has happened with you guys.

by **TeddyBear** » 13 Dec 2011, 23:28

^the same thing happens to me too...

by **schizophonic_spice** » 13 Dec 2011, 23:38

I dont use google but Sugababes comes up on yahoo uk as soon as I type sug

by **mysterious** » 13 Dec 2011, 23:40

when I type "sugaba", "sugababe too lost in you" appears as suggestion.

by **Jay** » 14 Dec 2011, 03:21

Very odd.

(PS: That download at the bottom of the second image is for a download of the UK show 'Misfits' if anyone got curious, rofl)

by **Charmingspice5** » 14 Dec 2011, 06:45

^^
Yeah that is very odd it does that

I don't know what it could mean though...
