It has "silver" in the UK now --> http://www.bpi.co.uk/certified-awards.aspx (Search for "Sugababes") (July 2013) and has sold more copies than Nr.Single "hole in the Head" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.7.190.219 (talk) 12:15, 16 October 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Feminist Whores

The Sugababes are a bunch of feminist whores, perfectly symbolising our feminist age. Xcelento4 (talk) 06:26, 16 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Writers.

Nicole Jenkinson are Anna McDonald are credited as writers on this song, Girls. McDonald is a member of The Pipettes and source of this claim is found on The Pipettes official MySpace, on the blog titled 'Free London Show!'. And I quote from that: "Finally we just want to say congratulations to Anna Pipette, who has been part of the writing team for the new Sugababes single, 'Girls.'"

Could people perhaps stop removing her off the 'writers' list now? Pullshapes (talk) 22:03, 7 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

MySpace and YouTube are not reliable sources. -- Jeandré, 2008-09-14t09:33z

ers saying that they cowrote the song, which I consider somewhat reliable. The only writing credit you left though is sourced by [1] which describes the song "Here Come The Girls" released in 1973. --Amalthea^Talk 09:58, 14 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

This song uses that song's chorus.[2]. -- Jeandré, 2008-09-14t10:07z

The Sugababes were incorrect to say they wrote the single "GIRLS". The only reliable source is the printed insert of the CD cover of the single and Album which clearly states Allen Toussiant,Anna McDonald,Nicole Jenkinson to be the only writers of this song. It is a serious violation of copyright to say the sugababes wrote this song when the facts show they didn't. Queenjenk 18:48 11th October 2008

Orphaned references in Girls (Sugababes song)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Girls (Sugababes song)'s orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "acharts":

From About You Now: "Sugababes - About You Now worldwide chart positions and trajectories". aCharts.us. Retrieved October 20 2007.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 17:31, 28 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Estonian Chart

According to this link (under Eesti Top 40) it states that the single is 29 (2). Now looking at all the other listings, which have an up or down arrow, the number in the brackets always corresponds to the arrow in that when there is a higher number in the bracket, the arrow points downwards, suggesting the chart position has dropped from the high number in brackets to the lower current chart position number. Does this mean that the single went to number 2 in the charts? Because the only other number in the line is 36, and the single can't have dropped from 36 to 29. Additionally, at number 15, the single is stated to be a non-mover (=) and the numbers in and outside the brackets are both 15. Shall we edit the chart position on the article to #2?
Edit: Checking the Euro Chart 20 listings on the same website, the system of non-moving singles having the same chart position in and out of the brackets pretty much proves my theory. For instance, Katy Perry 1 (1) = | Coldplay 2 (2) = | Rihanna 3 (3) = | Robyn 4 (8) ^. I will edit the page, but if I am wrong then please tell me here. Thanks. 82.45.225.4 (talk) 16:48, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Serbian Airplay Chart

Is this the Serbian Airplay Chart? This link suggests it is. 82.45.225.4 (talk) 17:44, 24 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

German Singles Chart

Does anyone know where this charted in Germany? It's been released now so it should have charted somewhere. ThanksKukiSanban 17:11, 27 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Not a Sugababes song

"Here Come the Girls" is a song written by Allen Toussaint and recorded by Ernie K-Doe released in 1970. It is not a Sugababes song. The group only performed a version of it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Gbeecroft (talk • contribs) 15:07, 9 November 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Here Come the Girls (song)

and this shouldn't be two separate articles. The only new content in this version is that the verses have been replaced and this version samples the original very heavily (opening drum beat and parts of the second and third verses). I strongly recommend merging the two articles together.--Laun chba ller 01:13, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

"Girls" and "Here Come the Girls" are two completely different tracks, the only exception is that the former contains an interpolation/sample of the latter. Just like how the Sugababes song Get Sexy samples "I'm Too Sexy" by Right Said Fred, but they are kept in separate articles. We only merge the original and the cover of the original (eg: Freak like Me), in this case it isn't a cover. Till 02:15, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Hardly. The only new content are the verses - the chorus is sampled and so are parts of the verses. The structure is basically the same, as well. Look at Step by Step (Annie Lennox song).--Laun chba ller 11:05, 1 April 2013 (UTC)[reply]
