If they could press more its likely they would sell.

2000 sales so quickly shows the demand is there for the release.

If we account 500 were sold internationally, the 1500 remaining would be enough for the release to stay in the charts on Friday.

 

Scared of the Dark could possibly have made the Top 20 if the CD single was released on impact week.

 

It wuld have been just outside had it not been released on that Ed Sheeran week.

Number 38 in the midweek chart released today.

If it's sold out it means the album will drop and drop unless they get some regular album sales but they should have enough to chart this week.

1100 for the last couple of weeks has secured a Top 100 place.

Sales look low this week so 1000 sales would likely keep them within the Top 100.

Fingers crossed, no more than with kylies golden,it's the first time I bought multi formats for a few years but I did so with the albums from both Kylie and steps and have loved it.

I like the way Steps have phased the releases, we have had 4 different versions since the release between:

The Original

The Deluxe

The Live Version

The Singles box-set

 

This is the first time Steps have taken that route.

That said, re-releases/deluxe versions weren't as common back then as they are now.

Ya it's the first time they have done a rerelease and it's worked great for them.

The album/release has not entered the Top 100.

I am slightly disappointed as i was almost certain it would achieve a Top 100 entry this week.

That's a shame - it has entered at #106. :cry: Oh well! It sold 1,032 copies, which is how much it was shown to have sold in the early midweeks - so not having any more copies on sale was its downfall. It needed 40 more copies to be #100.

So almost half the availability was sold outside the uk,shame it missed the top 100 by so little.

If more copies were available they would have sold and the album would have entered the charts.

That said, i doubt chart glory was something they were aiming for with this release.

The release was very much for their loyal fans.

It was def a release for the fans but i still would have liked it to have entered the Top 100.

Surprising so many copies sold to fans outside of the UK. I think they underestimated the interest in this (and CD singles in general) - it’s something so many fanbases of pop acts want and will spend ££ on getting (Steps, Kylie, Take That etc.,)

Ya Def agree as all those acts can easily shift 5000 physical copies as fans love them.

As this release sold out so quickly, it clearly shows the appetite for such releases is strong and more copies would have easily sold.

The last campaign so well and it connected with people and especially their loyal fans.

They in my opinion they couldn't have returned with anything better than they did with both Scared of the Dark and the album itself.

 

I love scared of the dark but prefer neon blue.

I still think neon blue is better than scared of the dark but still think scared of the dark is also great. I also like story of a heart way more now than i did when it was released.

Neon Blue is hard to beat.

The song deserved greater success as a single.
