I’ve seen this mentioned in a few threads about Back To You / Love U More being a missed opportunity and it got me thinking what other ones do people think there were?

 

I agree with Back To You / Love U More, that would’ve been great. Another one I’ve started to think I’d now preferred the fourth single be Stay With Me / Tragedy. Heartbeat is ok but Stay With Me is the better ballad of the two for me.

 

5, 6, 7, 8 - Last Thing On My Mind - One For Sorrow - Stay With Me/Tragedy - Better Best Forgotten - Back To You/Love U More

 

I’ll go through and do the other albums in the next day or two, just need to give them a bit more thought.

I love Stay with me but I disagree about it being a better single release than Heartbeat. Heartbeat sounds much more radio friendly.

 

I think they got most of their singles spot on but if each album could have had one more single I'd say:

 

STEP ONE

5,6,7,8 - Last thing on my mind - One for sorrow - Heartbeat / Tragedy - Better best forgotten - Love u more / Back to you

 

STEPTACULAR

Love got a hold of my heart - Say you'll be mine - After the love has gone / Better the devil you know - Deeper shade of blue - When I said goodbye / Summer of love (actually don't think any of the others were needed)

 

BUZZ

Stomp - The way you make me feel - Paradise lost - Here and now / You'll be sorry

 

GOLD

Chain reaction - Baby don't dance - Words are not enough

 

LIGHT UP THE WORLD

Light up the world - History is made at night

 

TEARS ON THE DANCEFLOOR

Scared of the dark - Neon blue - Story of a heart - Happy - Dancing with a broken heart

 

WHAT THE FUTURE HOLDS

What the future holds - Something in your eyes - To the beat of my heart - Heartbreak in this city - To the one

Out of the above though I only really think Back to you / Love u more and Paradise lost were proper missed opportunities to get another hit single.
I think most of their singles were pretty spot on, especially with 'Step One' & 'Steptacular', but with some of their later material I'd do..


Buzz
Stomp - It's The Way You Make Me Feel - Here And Now/Paradise Lost - Happy Go Lucky/Chain Reaction

Gold - Greatest Hits
Chain Reaction/Happy Go Lucky - Words Are Not Enough - Baby Don't Dance

Tears On The Dancefloor
Scared Of The Dark - Story of a Heart - Neon Blue - Happy - Dancing With A Broken Heart/Fool For You

What The Future Holds
What The Future Holds - Something In Your Eyes - To The Beat Of My Heart - Heartbreak In This City [PERFECT RUN]
Paradise Lost sticks out the most to me, I remember being stunned when Here and Now/You’ll Be Sorry was announced as the last single from Buzz.

Love U More was the missing option from Step One and I would have released Paradise Lost from Buzz but after Here and Now as that’s my favourite song by them. I never quite understood When I Said Goodbye or You’ll be sorry.

 

From Gold I hated Baby Don’t Dance so glad we didn’t get it. I much preferred Only In My Dreams

On step one nearly all the tracks were good enough to be singles, if dudes were a thing back then this album could be closer to 2 million.

What did you mean to say?

To be fair they never have had to struggle with single choices from their albums they generally had loads of good songs to choose from.

 

Maybe not a full single, but Over You deserved better. Definitely should have been on their album!
