August 6, 20213 yr I always thought Stay With Me wins Faye on lead vocal but I’m probably wrong. I had trouble telling her and Lisa apart a little bit when I was younger.
August 6, 20213 yr So Experienced totally deserves last place no questions! Too Weak to resist while being lyrically awful does at least have a good tune to it "time can be a heeeealer or time can diviiiiiide!" I do have a soft spot for it so would have put that above Steptro which is just a funky as hell intro.
August 6, 20213 yr It’s gets harder to pick the order from here but I.l go with the next two out being This Heart Will Love Again and Back To You.

Experienced on the other hand…
August 6, 20213 yr I like stay with me but overall the album standard is so high it just ranks lower.
August 9, 20213 yr My prediction is it will be this: 8th - This heart will love again 7th - Back to you 6th - 5,6,7,8 4th - Heartbeat 3rd - Last thing on my mind 2nd - Love u more 1st - One for sorrow
August 9, 20213 yr Actually I’ll go against what I said a few posts above, my predicted top 8 with a ‘shock at #7. 8. This Heart Will Love Again 7. 5,6,7,8 6. Back To You 5. Heartbeat 4. Love You More 3. Last Thing On My Mind 2. Better Best Forgotten 1. One For Sorrow
August 9, 20213 yr Heartbeat is actually one of the few I return to, I didn't really get into Steps until the Buzz Era, but Heartbeat I am very fond of.
August 9, 20213 yr Heartbeat isnt a go to Steps song for me at all but nearly all the other tracks are.
August 9, 20213 yr I'm not gonna comment on the results because I already know them but I hope you're ready to be shocked! Jay is trolling you and EXPERIENCED is actually the winner! 👏👏👏👏
August 9, 20213 yr I'm not gonna comment on the results because I already know them but I hope you're ready to be shocked! Jay is trolling you and EXPERIENCED is actually the winner! 👏👏👏👏 Erm WHY do you know the results and not me!?!? Although I have a feeling they were shared somewhere with us both now, I've totally forgotten them though :lol: Edited August 9, 20213 yr by spiceboy
August 11, 20213 yr Author 8th - 5,6,7,8 - 6.35 4NO-h9PFum4 Highest Score: 9 - Feel the Fever, Nina West, PAJ Lowest Scores: 1 - JSG | 4 - Hide&Seek, ...readyforit Steps' debut single lands in 5,6,7... 8th place! When you think about it, this has to be one of the oddest songs in Steps' discography, purely for being so unique. Techno pop with lyrics inspired by line dancing? Sure, why not! Despite low UK radio airplay, the single fared well in the charts - it debuted at #18, and eventually climbed to its peak of #14 in its 8th week on sale. Overall it spent 14 weeks in the Top 40 - highly unusual longevity for a non-Top 10 hit. Almost 25 years later and it's well remembered by the public - it is their most viewed music video on YouTube and their most streamed song on Spotify. Its success in the age of streaming even made it Steps' second single to certify Platinum in the UK. Notably the song was also hugely successful in Australia, where it peaked at #1! I feel like this is a very "love it or hate it" song for many. My stance... it's enjoyable for what it is, but I kind of view this as a novelty single that is kind of detached from what I went on to love about Steps as a pop group. Nevertheless it always lends itself to fun performances at their concerts!
August 11, 20213 yr Author 7th - This Heart Will Love Again - 7.62 Fuvpha5VipM Highest Scores: 10 - Herbs, Hide&Seek | 9 - Nina West Lowest Scores: 6 - ...ready for it | 6.5 - Pippa I feel like 'This Heart Will Love Again' is the first song revealed in these results that has a sound which you would probably expect to hear on Steps' debut album, had you never listened to it before. It's a midtempo with bittersweet lyrics, one which the female members shine on - Claire and Lisa have the majority of vocals, while Faye sings a few lines of the first verse. Its rousing chorus has a positive sentiment - despite feeling heartbroken by a relationship ending, the overall message is about being resilient.
August 11, 20213 yr My predication was the wrong way around. I still enjoy 5,6,7,8 for me it was what got my attention, the singes that followed reeled me in though, I like 'This Heart Will Love Again', it was my favourite back in 1998, so 10 year old me would've given an 11/10. It's dropped a little in the last 20+ years though.
August 11, 20213 yr 5,6,7,8 when I was growing up was played in Gym Class almost everyday. Even before I knew who Steps were as a band. It's catchy. It's playful, but so overplayed for me in my childhood... I've never really gone back :lol:
August 11, 20213 yr 5,6,7,8 has been consistently enjoyable for me since its release,I knew it wouldnt do hugely well in this but would have predicted 6th or 7th place. Edited August 11, 20213 yr by Feel_The_Fever
August 12, 20213 yr Author 6th - Heartbeat - 7.69 Oq7iQPbiq1Y Highest Scores: 11 - Herbs | 10 - Nina West Lowest Scores: 3 - JSG | 5 - ...ready for it Heartbeat was the fourth single to be taken from Step One (released as a Double A Side single with a cover of Tragedy by the Bee Gees, which isn't included on Step One). This wintery ballad was instantly successful, entering the UK singles chart at #2 in November 1998. I think it's clear that a high percentage of this single's overall success is thanks to Tragedy, but initially Heartbeat received higher airplay and better promo, so it was a popular song in its own right! I think it's one of their most memorable music videos too, with its "evil Ice Queen" storyline and rather bad green screen moments of them "riding" skis and snowmobiles. :kink: I find this song incredibly nostalgic, it takes me right back to winter/Christmas 1998. :wub: Top 5 results starting some time tomorrow... any guesses about the order? How do you feel about Heartbeat missing out on the Top 5?
