October 31, 20222 yr We need to get 'Story of a Heart' out of the top 10 and 'Something in Your Eyes' in!
October 31, 20222 yr I just hope Stomp waits in, story of a heart is well ahead of something in your eyes so it will be a while before it overtakes, stomp is more at risk.
October 31, 20222 yr Author Wow, great job Jay :heart: Thank you so much for this big update as it this takes a lot of work. And you do it in such an informative and classy way! I do wonder what they can do to get their streaming numbers up though Edited October 31, 20222 yr by Hazelnuts
November 1, 20222 yr I really don't know what tactics artists such as Steps can do to increase their streaming numbers.

I'm kind of surprised that Summer of Love is one of their least streamed singles from the standard track list! I wouldn't have guessed that Here and Now would have more streams overall.
November 1, 20222 yr One last thing - I looked at the updated stream counts for the singles, one day after I last wrote them down. So we can see how well they did in a day. I've only taken into account the album versions and single versions, not remixes (apart from A Hundred Years of Winter, the F9 Remix Edit seems to be its single version if we go by Platinum Collection). It's nice that Scared of the Dark is associated with Halloween, that's a pretty great daily figure for it! Presumably it will have an even better update later today. Sadly for the most part though this just demonstrates that their streaming presence is pretty weak. Increases in 1 day: 01 - 57,521 - Scared of the Dark 02 - 26,759 - 5, 6, 7 , 8 03 - 10,087 - Tragedy 04 - 7,346 - It's the Way You Make Me Feel 05 - 4,857 - Last Thing on My Mind 06 - 4,034 - One for Sorrow 07 - 3,281 - Chain Reaction 08 - 2,990 - Something in Your Eyes 09 - 2,417 - Heartbreak in This City - Single Mix 10 - 1,982 - Say You'll Be Mine 11 - 1,933 - Stomp 12 - 1,665 - Love's Got a Hold on My Heart 13 - 1,563 - Hard 2 Forget 14 - 1,441 - Better Best Forgotten 15 - 1,432 - Summer of Love 16 - 1,409 - Better the Devil You Know 17 - 1,296 - Deeper Shade of Blue 18 - 1,291 - What the Future Holds - Single Mix 19 - 1,214 - Story of a Heart 20 - 975 - Deeper Shade of Blue - Radio Edit 21 - 962 - Heartbeat 22 - 950 - After the Love Has Gone 23 - 720 - The Slightest Touch 24 - 674 - I Know Him So Well 25 - 673 - Here and Now 26 - 575 - Neon Blue 27 - 558 - To the Beat of My Heart 28 - 458 - Take Me for a Ride - Single Mix 29 - 328 - Dancing with a Broken Heart 30 - 295 - When I Said Goodbye 31 - 269 - Here and Now - Soundtrade Mix 32 - 267 - Words Are Not Enough 33 - 264 - You'll Be Sorry 34 - 263 - Heartbreak in This City 35 - 157 - Take Me for a Ride 36 - 149 - What the Future Holds 37 - 128 - A Hundred Years of Winter (F9 Remix) - Edit 38 - 118 - You'll Be Sorry - The Pardon Mix 39 - 100 - One for Sorrow - Tony Moran's Remix 40 - 98 - A Hundred Years of Winter 41 - 13 - Light Up the World 42 - 12 - A Hundred Years of Winter - Edit 43 - 2 - Dancing with a Broken Heart - Video Mix Totals on 31st October: 01 - 56,660,901 - 5, 6, 7 , 8 02 - 26,154,568 - Tragedy 03 - 20,754,338 - It's the Way You Make Me Feel 04 - 13,717,785 - Scared of the Dark 05 - 12,277,061 - Last Thing on My Mind 06 - 8,990,253 - Chain Reaction 07 - 8,763,949 - One for Sorrow 08 - 7,748,143 - Story of a Heart 09 - 5,369,625 - Stomp 10 - 4,911,891 - Something in Your Eyes 11 - 4,828,915 - Say You'll Be Mine 12 - 4,659,543 - Love's Got a Hold on My Heart 13 - 4,111,145 - Better the Devil You Know 14 - 3,881,968 - What the Future Holds - Single Mix 15 - 3,830,358 - Heartbreak in This City - Single Mix 16 - 3,784,325 - Better Best Forgotten 17 - 3,369,364 - Summer of Love 18 - 3,303,925 - Deeper Shade of Blue - Radio Edit 19 - 2,955,911 - Deeper Shade of Blue 20 - 2,866,151 - After the Love Has Gone 21 - 2,668,612 - Heartbeat 22 - 2,441,952 - Neon Blue 23 - 2,377,651 - Here and Now 24 - 1,812,571 - I Know Him So Well 25 - 1,417,270 - To the Beat of My Heart 26 - 1,307,120 - Dancing with a Broken Heart 27 - 1,283,667 - When I Said Goodbye 28 - 1,192,689 - Take Me for a Ride - Single Mix 29 - 1,109,327 - Here and Now - Soundtrade Mix 30 - 961,033 - The Slightest Touch 31 - 859,959 - Words Are Not Enough 32 - 771,283 - You'll Be Sorry 33 - 681,427 - Heartbreak in This City 34 - 371,660 - Hard 2 Forget 35 - 351,162 - What the Future Holds 36 - 280,831 - Take Me for a Ride 37 - 244,091 - A Hundred Years of Winter 38 - 202,061 - One for Sorrow - Tony Moran's Remix 39 - 147,457 - You'll Be Sorry - The Pardon Mix 40 - 98,139 - A Hundred Years of Winter (F9 Remix) - Edit 41 - 81,367 - Light Up the World 42 - 37,005 - Dancing with a Broken Heart - Video Mix 43 - 18,260 - A Hundred Years of Winter - Edit
November 1, 20222 yr Great way to analyse the data giving an idea of what they are doing daily, while its great for scared of the dark it does highlight how much they struggle on streaming and I really can't see it improving for them.
November 1, 20222 yr Author Very much appreciated Jay :heart: The effort you put in your posts like these..amazing! And thanks again! Sadly they are not a steaming force at all. Don’t think that will change anytime soon :(
November 1, 20222 yr In the 1 day increases we see 7 of the top 10 are from the older hits with only 3 from the newer releases.
November 2, 20222 yr Scared of the Dark was streamed 123,259 times on Spotify on 31st Oct! :cheer: That’s worldwide. A lot of those streams must have happened outside of the UK, because the #200 in the UK daily chart was streamed 56,612 times and Steps aren’t Top 200 here. 5, 6, 7, 8 managed 25,812 streams.
November 3, 20222 yr Author That’s good I guess? I wonder where the streams outside the UK came from?
December 6, 20222 yr Merry X-Mas Everybody has reappeared in their Popular Top 10 on Spotify, at #7! It was streamed 16,263 times on 4th December, lifting its total to 15,929,947. Scared of the Dark passed 14 million recently, it's only 14,027,838. It was streamed 2,983 on 4th Dec. Sadly its daily streams aren't great outside of the boost it gets at Halloween! It's likely to fall out of their Top 5 list soon. This is their current Popular Top 10 on Spotify. The first figure is how many streams the songs achieved on 4th Dec: 1st - 23,962 - 5,6,7,8 (total: 57,634,172) 2nd - 8,955 - Tragedy (total: 26,529,762) 3rd - 6,940 - It's the Way You Make Me Feel (total: 21,042,125) 4th - 2,983 - Scared of the Dark (total: 14,027,838) 5th - 4,314 - Last Thing on My Mind (total: 12,458,284) 6th - 3,782 - One for Sorrow (total: 8,916,868) 7th - 16,263 - Merry X-Mas Everybody (total: 15,929,947) 8th - 3,103 - Something in Your Eyes (total: 5,027,515) 9th - 2,770 - Chain Reaction (total: 9,116,066) 10th - 1,749 - Say You'll Be Mine (total: 4,908,108)
December 7, 20222 yr Its amazing really how well 5,6,78 holds up for them, its popular enough among fans but fans seem to rate so many other singles higher but outside the fanbase its really a standout for people.
December 7, 20222 yr Its amazing really how well 5,6,78 holds up for them, its popular enough among fans but fans seem to rate so many other singles higher but outside the fanbase its really a standout for people. I’m guessing it’s the one people outside of the fan base most remember.
December 7, 20222 yr It May Be Winter Outside is still included in Spotify's Happy Holidays playlist! It has 303,502 followers. It's only 71st out of 85 songs, but it's still picking up some decent streams. Current total is 399,256, and was streamed 2,738 times on Tuesday. As Christmas approaches it could crack their Popular Top 10 list again like it did last year.
December 8, 20222 yr It's always welcoming to see any Steps song picking up streams even if it's not one of their best songs.
