Where they were

Released on January 1, 2009, 'Sweet 7' marked the Sugababes' first album with new member Jade Ewen after a series of lineup changes. Positioned as their sixth studio album, it followed the commercially successful 'Change' (2007) but faced challenges due to shifting musical trends and internal dynamics within the group.

Why it matters

'Sweet 7' was notable for its chart performance, debuting at number 14 on the UK Albums Chart, and produced hit singles like 'Get Sexy,' which peaked at number 3. The album's release also sparked discussions about the group's evolving identity and sound in a rapidly changing pop landscape.
