Heartbeat/Tragedy was a #1 hit in NZ.

Apparently Lisa was b-listed on a radio playlist too.

 

CAPITAL!!

Maybe its known already but Steps never had a number 1 single here in Ireland but did manage 1 number 1 album with Gold.

Shocking!

I know, and its disappointing too,

Yes! Looking back I’m quite surprised at how they did in Ireland.

What was the closest they came? Surely #2 with 'Heartbeat/Tragedy'?

 

I know 'Stomp' kinda bombed there for a UK #1 single.

Yes and after that OFS (#4)!

 

It reached #17 :o

I suppose when you consider that they only had two UK #1 singles and releases by UK acts nearly always chart lower in Ireland, it doesn't seem that surprising they didn't manage one.

Stomps performance was very disappointing here.

True. Though some did underperform by missing the top 20 (5,6,7,8/DSOB/HAN/WANE)

I suppose '5, 6, 7, 8' didn't even peak that high in the UK anyway, DSOB's performance was a crime but I guess it was a late single in the album campaign (same for H&N). As for WANE... I can see why and excuse that one :lol:

True. Still, I expected more for some songs (like Deeper) ;)
