Yeah S club got ripped off terribly, it's not even funny. For me the cream always rises to the top and Rachel did that.

S club made very little despite been huge. Business wise steps had a far better contract.

It's crazy that the members of S club went along with the contracts they were given tbh

S Club 7 got ripped off definitely they only made like 200,000 a year each didn't they? They were essentially just paid very good wages but that's their own fault for signing contracts that they did I guess. I suppose you could argue, why did they deserve anything else as they didn't contribute anything to the process they were essentially just puppets having it all put on a plate for them (as were Steps tbf).

 

Going back to your initial thing about Rachel and Steps, I just don't see who she would replace I mean Claire, Lisa and Faye are all perfect for steps in terms of personalities and their voices etc...

I'm probably just biased when it comes to Rachel, she's great

Rachel could have been the 6th member of Steps.

S Club 7 signed contracts that meant that they were treated like employees of the management/record label with a monthly wage. It probably was appealing when they weren't having hits in the beginning and a safe option. The Pussycat Dolls that weren't Nicole signed a similar deal.

 

Steps and Spice Girls were smart enough to not sign such deals, hence why they're rolling in cash.

S club might have been ripped off, but they most likely have more cash than most of us. I'm glad we got a Rachel solo career though

Ya Id say they made alot more than most of us but a few of them seem broke now, Some of Rachel's solo stuff was good but I never bought an album from her. Steps signed a much better contract and I think I read 5678 was a one of single contract and then came the long term which they cleverly had adapted so that they would get their fair share of earnings.

this is all a lovely discussion about s club but this is the steps thread huns x

You're missing out, her second album is excellent a pop masterpiece, really should have been huge it's very Girls Aloud before they pioneered their sound. :wub: Her first album is tosh though bar a couple of tracks :lol:

Also, Spices were one of the biggest pop groups ever and wrote their own songs.

I had the ultimate collection playing today, so many feel good signs all in one in a glorious sunny day.

It is the ideal time for a Steps music marathon if you enjoy pop music.

Just listening to a few steps songs today, loving summer of love at the mo. It would be a great album title if an album had a summer release.

Crikey, I wonder if this is actually licensed from them?

The producers of the show would have to get clearance from the songwriters/producers of the songs + I assume that they couldn't use the trademark STEPS in the marketing unless they got clearance from them... so probably?

It's a weird combination.

That is a VERY strange combination and I'm not sure it will go down very well tbh.
