It was Saturday Night Takeaway that got 'Let's Get Ready to Rumble' to #1, wasn't it?

Not only that, I'm pretty sure the only bands to have #1 singles in 3 consecutive decades are Take That (though the 3rd decade doesn't have all members) and The Bee Gees. If anyone knows of any other band let me know!

 

Blondie!! :cheer:

S Club 7 had a few bigger selling/probably more 'classic' singles but Steps were far bigger album sellers and a way more successful touring act.

What about Queen? They had number ones in the 70's, 80's and 90's right?

Queen had a number 1 single in the 70's, 80's, 90's and 00's (if you consider their work with Five). :o

Ha Snap!

To be honest I'd say that S Club 7 and Steps were on a level pegging in terms of popularity. Both regularly churned out top 5 singles and albums as well as number ones.

Blondie!! :cheer:

 

How did I forget them!! Facepalm!

 

And I loved Maria when it came out in 1999 lol!

 

And Queen I missed as well! I'm bad!

 

Still if they get it, they would be joining quite an epic list!

Wow Steps at #1, that was unexpected. Can they go top 20/30 next week?

U2 had Number One singles in the 80s, 90s and 2000s.

 

Steps announced their split on Boxing Day 2001.

 

This is a boring factual post.

They have already done 'This Morning' they have ITV/Lorraine on Monday.

Were they performing or just chatting?

GO STEPS!!!! :o :wub: such a fantastic song! <3

Second singles never do as well initially as lead singles though.

S Club 7 did have the successful Miami 7 and L.A. 7 television series though. And Hollywood 7 IIRC. Plus they spawned the S Club Juniors/8 and therefore two fifths of The Sats. :lol: I agree that both bands were hugely successful in their own right however. Maybe because I was born in '94 I can remember the S Club phenomenon more.

20. Louisa Johnson - Best Behaviour

Ha Snap!

Snap! only had number ones in the 90's

 

:kink:

I didn't see that coming, Steps at #1, its like when Ant & Dec went to #1, pretty convenient been on the Ant & Dec show tomorrow.

And I thought the UK chart would never make me smile again. Go on Steps, get a good hit out of this.
