The last time the Sugababes were on our countdown, they also came in at the #7 position in 2011. However, it was a completely different lineup of the group. The original lineup of the group was on our countdown in 2013, but under the name Mutya Keisha Siobhan (aka MKS). The Sugababes/MKS have been in our Top 21 four times since we started.
17 songs in the Top 21 were sung by woman! Girl Power! Speaking of Girl Power, one entry was even by a Spice Girl — Sporty Spice Melanie C! How many Spice Girls have been in our Top 21 before? The Melanies and Geri! However, Emma and Victoria have been in Davearama's countdowns before Poptastic Confessions came along.
2011: “Think About It” by Melanie C was #16
