Catfights had only two singles, one of which flopped and the album campaign was super short, its not surprising its not as high as albums with multiple top ten singles.

On the other hand happy to see Change as the leader even if its mostly because of About You Now. Not surprised the original lineup decided to perform it considering how popular its stil is.

Has anyone else noticed moments on this album that reference their older stuff? And I don't just mean Back In The Day & Summer of 99 that explicitly talk about the old times.

- The line "boys will be boys for life" in Boys is likely a reference to the unreleased One Touch song Boys Will Be Boys.
- I Lay Down uses a very similar (if not the same) piano (?) sequence that's very prominently featured in the demo version of Look At Me.
- Enough didn't make it on the album, but Mutya has a line "easy, treat him mean, just to keep him keen" which is a nod to her song 2 The Limit which had the line "treat me mean, keep me keen".

Am I missing any?

This is cute, but I think they are just common expressions.
 
If they ever release a physical edition of “The Lost tapes” I would love if they included a bonus disc with the “Summer of 99” demo.

It’s amazing how production can affect a song. I usually skip the version on “The Lost Tapes” but when I play the demo I can play it over 10 times in a row.
 
Actually fascinating to hear about what Siobhan was up to in the MKS wilderness years/when she had kids. I don't think we actually officially knew she was pregnant in 2020 at the time did we?

She must have been pregnant when they released and performed Flowers in 2019. And that's why she missed the little promo they did in February 2020 just before Covid.

I love with how much love she speaks about the girls. It feels like they really are at a very good point in their Sugababes history.
