SUGABABES are the first band to sign up for the Christmas No 1 race of 2007. I can reveal the lovely trio will release the title track from their top new album Change on December 10. It’s a powerful tune and should see them jingling many a bell around the log fires come winter. The album hits stores on October 8.

The girls are currently entertaining abroad with shows taking in scenic spots like Vienna before heading back to Blighty for the release of single About You Now.
