Who would have though that Steps would outsell Christina Aguilera in 2012>!

Both acts could have performed so much better if they both promoted.

Gutted at how badly they handled the single and album - The chart run for the album was even more tragic than i feared: 32-73-Out and there is no chance of it even recovering in the new year seeing as it is a Christmas album :cry:

Anyone know what the setlist is for the Xmas tour, from Youtube vids it seems that old songs that were missed last time that they're now performing are After The Love Has Gone, Say You'll Be Mine, Baby Don't Dance, I Know Him So Well and Merry Xmas Everybody, along with a ballad version of Better Best Forgotten!

Words Are Not Enough as well!

 

From the new album: History Is Made At Night, House Is Not A Home, One Less Bell To Answer, Overjoyed, It May Be Winter Outside, Light Up The World, Christmas (Baby Come Home), Please Come Home For Christmas and Have Yourselves a Merry Little Christmas

 

And the classics: Tragedy, Heartbeat, Stomp, One For Sorrow, Its The Way You Make Me Feel and Chain Reaction

Oh wow, I thought Words Are Not Enough would have been conveniently erased from existence! No One For Sorrow? :o

Yes sorry, I forgot a few... Now edited

The performance of Words Are Not Enough is quite lovely actually

 

And in this clip, Claire starts singing After The Love Has Gone, instead of One For Sorrow. Easy mistake to make I suppose!

Love that clip of Claire getting the words wrong :lol:

I wonder has the album managed even 1,000 sales last week of the week before.

While the albu did not do great the dvd is holding on well, 8 weeks on release, it did make number 1 but its still in the top 15.

True, it looks like its the old classics that will always sell at Christmas. Its a shame though the album hasnt managed a top 100 re-entry either.

So wanted this to be a hit but as much of a Steps loon as i am this flop is deserved tbh - It felt like a total half arsed effort from them and i don't believe that there was not enough interest in the band for them not to get bookings to promote the release on Loose Women, Day Break, This Morning, etc,

I too believe they would have got more promotional slots if they wanted them but i think it was a cse where they didnt take the opportunities, i could be wrong but Calire and Lisa would have anted time with the family so promotional activities were lost.

The Sun Reports ‘Complete’ CBB Line Up

 

The tabloid has printed a list of the apparently confirmed Celebrity Housemates

 

Producers of Celebrity Big Brother have reportedly signed up FOUR soap stars who they hope will ‘bubble’ the show up a bit.

 

Neighbours veteran Ryan Moloney, who plays Toadfish, has signed up. Sam Robertson, who melted hearts as Corrie’s Adam Barlow, is on board for the series along side Tricia Penrose, who was Heartbeat’s no-nonsense barmaid Gina Ward. They will join former EastEnder Gillian Taylforth.

 

A programme insider said: “Whatever way you look at it, soap operas are really successful.

 

“Having so many stars from those shows can only be a boost for the Big Brother house.”

 

Sparks are already expected to fly in the Channel 5 series after it was revealed controversial comedian Jim Davidson had signed for the show — despite a previous bust-up with its host Brian Dowling.

 

Other housemates include camp X Factor contestant Rylan Clark and jockey Frankie Dettori, looking to redeem his reputation after a six-month ban from horse racing for failing a drugs test.

 

The full list of apparently confirmed Housemates is:

 

Heidi Montag & Spencer Pratt

Frankie Dettori

Gillian Taylforth

Rylan Clark

Lacey Banghard

Ryan Moloney

Tricia Penrose

Jim Davidson

Paula Hamilton

Sam Robertson

Claire Richards

OH NO.. not Claire.

H did well out of it a few years back...

I was excited at first, than realized.. she probably won't do all that well.

She can be fun, but from the TV Series.. I think she could potentially come across as a little fake.

 

That, and she will probably whine and moan about missing her kids, the public probably won't like that.. At best.. I think she could finish 5th or 4th.. I think she could avoid nomination if she keeps it together in the house.
