''Angels with Dirty Faces'' is the second studio album by English girl group Sugababes. It was released by Island Records in the UK on 26 August 2002, and in most European territories by September 2002. The album marked the band's debut on the Island label, following their split with London Records in 2001, and was their first regular release to be recorded under the second line-up, including new member Heidi Range, who replaced founding member Siobhán Donaghy. The album features production from Lucas Secon and Xenomania, and peaked at number two on the UK Albums Chart, achieving triple platinum status, and is the group's highest selling album to date. In Australia, the album was released on 18 November 2002.〔()〕 == Production and release == Shortly after the release of the final single from the band's debut album, ''One Touch'', group member and co-founder Siobhán Donaghy left the band because of personal differences within the band. She was officially replaced by new member, Heidi Range during 2001. After being dropped by their former label, London Records, the band began to search for a new record label. Having already started writing material for the band's second studio album, they eventually signed with Island Records. The album was eventually released domestically on 26 August 2002, to much anticipation, following the success of the first two singles to be lifted from the album "Freak like Me" and "Round Round", both of which peaked at number 1 in the UK. The album received favourable reviews from critics, with AllMusic awarding it a 3.5/5 stars. Almost a month after the album's UK release, it was released across Europe and in New Zealand in September 2002, where it gained considerable success. The album received a Platinum Europe Award by the IFPI in recognition of European sales in excess of 1 million copies. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Angels with Dirty Faces (Sugababes album)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
