The end of second series showcasing the Sugababes solo careers and we have come full circle. Mutya, Keisha and Siobhan have got back together.    We cover the whole messy reunion with their single, Flatline, and the would be album (of course we havent listened to the leak, of course not!). We've dodged it all series but we finally dived into the legal battle.... who owns the Sugababes name?!

Not since Michelle Williams has the phrase 'Poor' been needed than Poor Jade Ewen.  Despite hustling at Eurovision Russia, Girlband Trinity Stone and starring in a Busted video - Jade Ewen never got the appreciation she deserved... until now!  We celebrate Jade Ewens solo career pre and post Sugababes from Splash! to Aladdin. You could say its.... My Time (well, her time - shut up, it worked in our heads) www.podofthepops.co.uk 

With Keisha kicked out, the Sugababes quickly (like, 48 hours quick) draft in Eurovision contestant, Jade Ewen, to film the About A Girl video and re-record their final album, Sweet 7.  We cover the release of the album and the slow breakdown of the best selling girlband of the 00s via promo release, Freedom, and a hilarious sponsorship deal with Microsoft Windows

Final original Sugababe Keisha Buchanan unfairly booted from the band in the middle of promotion for Get Sexy.  Maybe you think she didn't do anything solo..... let us prove you wrong. Unreleased demos, youtube and property. We deep dive into the longest lasting Sugababe.

Its the big one - the sweet (7) story -final original member Keisha Buchanan kicked out by management in just days before shooting a video!  We discuss the beginnings of the of the Sweet 7 era with the Bruno Mars penned 'Get Sexy' on Roc Nation (Jay-Zs record label). This is less than a year after the motown vibe album, Catfights and Spotlights.  If you thought the Sugababes were over once Mutya left.... you need to think again. We get albums, tours, dramas and - of course - slapping it onto soundtracks.

Who is the only Sugababe to get a solo number one single? Its your girl Amelle! We break down that and all her 'would be, could be' singles. Not to mention a short actress stint, tumbling around in BBC Ones celebrity circus show and more than one controversial court case.

Amelle joins the Sugababes and, baby, is she put to work. She re-records an album, pushes out their greatest hits and goes on two tours within 18 months. What a ride. In our 4th suga-story episode we go from the Greatest Hits to the number 1 Changes album. And on the way we pass the GREATEST video known to Babes: Easy. Filmed in a toilet in Romford complete with cubicles, toilet roll holders and red wigs.  Oh, and did you know there was a Sugababes Barbie? There was a Sugababes Barbie and we're going to break it down for you

The Real Girl herself, Mutya Buena, after leaving Sugababes she went onto a short pop career, a lifetime of one off singles and a lot of reality tv   Its just Tattoo and us on a journey through the social career of Mutua Buena

The Sugababes are riding high in 2005 with a number one album and a number one single but things aren't so rosy for the group as motherhood and personal difficulties mean Mutya needs to leave We look at the highs and lows of their career covering Dallas Austin, Hair extensions and motherhood

Whos got the Range? Heidi Range Its time to dig deep into the solo career of the REAL original Sugababe (please dont cancel us!). There may not be a music career but we get masterchef, dancing on ice and WINE. Plus, we rewind time and look at her start in life.... in Atomic Kitten!   Listen to our Heidi playlist on Spotify including the discussed previously unreleased Heidi solo tracks: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2KmIDLa8mS3eiR5Lt2IJ13?si=YN9E4QC7TTyF_Svs0TvB1w 

See what we did there... its the second episode of our Sugababes deep dive and we recap Heidi joining the group for their first number one single, Freak Like Me, and then another number one.... and anoth- You get the picture. They just kept getting bigger as they release their most commercially successful albums - 'Angels with dirty faces' and 'Three' But where there is spotlights, there is catfights (we got caught in a moment there).  Deep dive with us and recap the music, the fashion and the backstage dramas. Including THAT Britney Toxic argument.
