I quite liked it on first listen although I couldn't hum it... but I've only heard it once lol

It's great but I feel like the vocals are far too quiet... might just be me :lol:

I'd expect Steps to get a big boost soon. Their performance on Mrs Brown's show just aired and it was really good.

They're up to 10.

They were 10 anyway! :lol:

 

I'm thinking they'll climb up to 8 if they're lucky but Fingers crossed for higher :wub:

Steps at 9

Sales are so poor right now that even if they stay top 10 all week they have little to no chance of re-entering the official top 40 unfortch.

They're at at #8 now. Fabulous.

The love for Steps :wub: #8 on singles and still #1 on albums

They were 10 anyway! :lol:

You were right, the current charts still confuse me, you perform in front of 5 million people during a time when sales are low and still don't get much of a lift and end up at No.8.

 

Maybe it was because the show finished at 10.15pm and people couldn't be bothered to buy at that time then forgot when they got up or the demographic of Mrs Brown don't use i-tunes but always seems rather odd that Mrs Brown's music guests never really benefited from the exposure of 5 million people on primetime Saturday night.

 

The song has dropped from 8 to 9 now and no further promotion that I can see apart from the repeat of Mrs Brown on Monday night.

I can't say regarding all of their performers, but in this case it could also be the case that people are getting the album instead. It is still #1 on iTunes. Even then, a lot of steps original fan base will be people that would buy the physical cd.

 

As far as downloads are concerned, I would say things are going just fine for Steps. They still have top 10 exposure and the 59p tag which will help more throughout the week.

It is brilliant for an act like Steps to be back in the top 10 of i-tunes with a song that was released 6 weeks ago I just find it strange that exposure to 5 million people did not generate much of a lift.

 

I was also watching This Morning when H was saying how different it all is now with i-tunes and spotify and I wonder if they realise that the single is a big success despite the No.37 tag of the OCC or will they feel it didn't perform as well as they had hoped.

 

It must be frustrating to be told you can't get streaming as you are not on many playlists and no one is buying much on i-tunes so your single won't chart from that either even though you have worked your arses off doing publicity, they looked quite tired on This Morning and I don't think Rylan jumping around probably helped in that respect though even though I think he is an idiot he gave them exposure by being an idiot.

 

Kworb just updated and as expected a drop

 

9 Steps - Scared of the Dark 0.3794 0.4004 0.3997 0.3989 0.3970 0.3640

Edited April 23, 20178 yr by steveh31

I think steps are more than likely overwelmed with how well the single has done.

 

I'd imagine they probably thought it wouldn't even make top 75 yet aloe hit no 1 on iTunes.

 

It's incredible that they are back in the top 10 on iTunes and are no 1 in the albums still.

 

 

Steps did have a big boost last night... the gap between 10 and 8 was massive

Exactly clean bandit should have been number 1 weeks ago the were exposed to the voice 3-4 million viewers its really a flop its taking so long if they finally do

 

 

Random comment but my dog hates the intro to 'The Cure'. Anyone else's?

 

He reacts the same to Eurovision 2016 Bulgaria entry 'If Love Was a Crime'

Probably the most ridiculous thing I've heard all week. How is a song that's headed for #1 this week and has been comfortably top 5 for over a month a FLOP? :lol:

Yeah my dog is always telling me how he hates The Cure

That's not what I'm saying I'm saying a performance on a prime time show doesn't necessarily mean a song will fly up chart another example Gavin rossdales band , will.I.am , Jennifer Hudson , all performed new material but didn't impact iTunes

 

FYI I really like the clean Zara song it does deserve to go to number 1

Yeah my dog is always telling me how he hates The Cure

Which song of theirs does he hate the most?

 

It's probably 'The Lovecats' :basil:
