What the Future Holds - The last figure we knew was "just under 83,000" in late December 2021. From 17th September 2021 to 24th December 2021 its average sales per week were 332. That was pretty decent given that it was a year old by then, but of course Steps being active with What the Future Holds Pt. 2 and the tour would have been helpful.
Since the end of December 2021 it would have needed to sell at a rate of just over 200 copies a week on average, up to now, to be approaching 100,000 for Gold. That would be quite a high weekly figure for an ageing studio album though, particularly one from Steps who don't exactly have the greatest streaming presence. Its weekly sales must be quite low by now, but it is anybody's guess how low it would be. I'd like to think that it could have reached 90,000+ by now. What the Future Holds Pt. 2 - 36,943 on 26th November 2021. In that week it had sold 986 copies at #180. It climbed to #178 the following week but we didn't find out sales for it, but probably 1,000+? I think it could have exceeded 40,000 by the end of December 2021. Which would have left it needing 20,000 to reach Silver. 83 weeks have passed in 2022 and 2023 so far. 20,000 divided by 83 weeks is 241 copies a week on average needed to be almost at 60k now, but its weekly sales probably aren't anywhere close to that. I guess we're in for quite a long wait to see the albums certify Gold and Silver respectively... but I have faith that both will happen within the 2020s decade. |

Thanks Jay and definitely! Still, they aren’t doing that bad for an act that started in the 90’s

'Platinum Collection' is Silver! My estimate for its total as of its last week in the chart is 32.3k, since then 57 weeks have passed which gives the album an average of 486 chart sales per week.

Thanks for the info! And sales could’ve been worse. I’m curious to know if it’s mostly streaming or physical cd’s that keep the PC selling.

Definitely streaming, it hasn't been in the physical chart Top 100 since November 2022.
Presumably it'll go Gold within the next couple of years then. I would be surprised if it hasn't made it by the end of 2025. |

I wonder too but it's so hard to guess with those! I have faith those albums will go gold and silver sometime this decade but who knows when.

“Here and Now (across both its individual version and the double A-side with You'll Be Sorry) has racked up 143,600 chart units over the years”
Source: OCC mailer Last sales we knew was 113,890 in June 2009, so it’s increased by nearly 30,000. Not much at all, but not really surprising. |

Great that it's got an increase though.
I do wonder if the musical will have any impact on their streams/sales. |

30k is probably higher than actual totals for some of their newer singles
