British singer/songwriter/producer Taio Cruz is no stranger to the top of the charts in his home country—in addition to his own hit "Break Your Heart" reaching #1 last year, "Never Leave You," a track he wrote for Tinchy Stryder and Sugababes member Amelle Berrabah, also achieved the same feat. Now Taio has found himself in an enviable position in the States. Recently signed to an American deal with Mercury Records, the 26-year-old Londoner paired up with Ludacris for a reworked version of "Break Your Heart" that managed to shoot to #1 on the Billboard Hot [...]

Let's face it; actually, you either love it or hate it. Funny, tear-jerking, uplifting, and the perfect feel-good film for Christmas, or as lifted from the Monty Python sketch about Oscar Wilde, a stream of bat's piss in the night. Written and directed by Richard Curtis, Love Actually is a good old British rom-com, played out during the run up to Christmas. Curtis is best known for his biggest hit films, Four Weddings And A Funeral and Notting Hill , though Brits will equally recognize him by [...]

If an album is released by a band composed of none of its original members, does it still make a sound on the charts? We'll find out: the Sugababes ' Sweet 7 was just released yesterday.

I suppose I'm not the only pop fan and girlband lover to feel a bit weird about the Sugababes . It's not that I don't like them anymore (or at least their past songs), but it's just that I don't feel comfortable supporting a band that's no longer what it used to be. I'm not talking about the recent (third) line-up change, when founding member Keisha Buchanan was ousted out of the band and former Eurovision hopeful J ade Ewen replaced her in a matter of minutes. That's, as they say, life. [...]

Last week was a bit of a rocky one. Two big releases in the shape of the Gorillaz album and the Goldfrapp single has decidedly mixed weeks, with the former sitting pretty at number 1 in the album charts for most of the week before being deposed by a grieving Boyzone at the last minute, whilst the latter single missed the Top 40 altogether thanks to a dearth of the airplay. The terrifying Liars album missed out completely, which is how it should be really, we're not sure how society would benefit [...]
And it's that she's missing out of all of the things the Sugababes singer leaves behind when she is on tour. It looks like Heidi Range is truly British through and through: she believes that they don't make tea anywhere in the world like they do in Britain. This is what she tweeted on the matter: "Home sweet home with a nice cup of tea, it's the simple things you miss when you've been away." How come Heidi Range doesn't have some flown from Heathrow over to where she might be that particular day? It couldn't possibly be too expensive [...]

Not content with injecting the streets of Camden with a fair old smattering of acts across the indie spectrum taking in the likes of Teenage Fanclub, The Drums, Dead Meadow and The Chapman Family a splendid shot has just been added to the lethal musical concoction that's sure to crumble a fair few crawlers come May. Leading the line up additions to this year's Camden Crawl are Roundhouse headliners and respective sweethearts of mascara-masked emo pop and girl group major politicians, Lostprophets and, quite bizarrely, Sugababes . Whacked-out American punksters We Are [...]
In theory, 2010 should have been an easy year for Sugababes . While the queens of credible pop Girls Aloud take at least a year off and non-entities like The Saturdays splash around in the shallow end, the trio had built a solid reputation on the back of a run of fantastic singles and none too shabby albums. The problem is that, of course, that their golden period ended with the departure of Mutya Buena in 2005. Even so, there have still been enough bright moments since to suggest that they could at least make a decent showing. [...]

Il girl group di genere pop delle Sugababes é ancora sulla bocca di tutti. Dopo i tafferugli degli ultimi mesi per la scelta della nuova cantante (Keisha Buchanan é stata sostituita da Jade Ewen) ancora discussioni. Ma questa volta é un ex-componente delle Sugababes, la cantante Mutya Buena, a creare problemi. Ha infatti presentato richiesta ufficiale per appropriarsi del nome della formazione, rivolgendosi all'apposita autorità dell'Unione Europea. Ora non resta che attendere per sapere se sarà approvata. Se avrà risposta positiva potrà usare il nome per album, dvd, e libri. Mutya [...]

The battle for the Sugababes' name is on. Ousted member Keisha Buchanan is taking to the courts and everyone is wondering, first, why she decided to do so and, second, why does she think the name is attached to her and not Mutya Buena or Siobhan Donaghy. But, she is working hard on the new album. Let's hope the solo matter with overshadow Amelle.

The festival will, as usual, be held across two sites in Chelmsford and Staffordshire on Aug. 21 and 22. Kasabian have said they are delighted to be [...]

Ousted Sugababes member and the last of the originals Keisha Buchanan has taken to the courts to claim the Sugababes name. Yes, one of the original founders and the only one that lasted throughout the career is mad that Amelle Barrebah took the band away from her. Heidi used to be Keisha's friend but she decided to lay low to keep ahold of her position in the band. Anyway, click here for more info .

It's Monday, singles are being released. Here are some that are worthy of mention for whatever reason. Alphabeat – Hole In My Heart After not being too keen on The Spell we absolutely love this. We saw them supporting Lady GaGa the other day and although they were no Semi Precious Weapons they were terrific and super super cute. Ellie Goulding - Starry Eyed [...]
