Is there anyone that we could contact?

I don’t think so either..still, I do hope this gets resolved!

Step one era Missing: 5,6,7,8 cassette Most precious item: 5,6,7,8 EP

Yup.. Though I’m dead curious what the current sales update is for both albums!

That’s interesting! Maybe it could’ve alienated the fans? I think in the UK it was spot on. On a global scale I see some missed opportunities if you ask me.

For me: • Release Love’s in another week to get them another #1. • Skip the US and promote the album more in Europe/Australia/Asia. • Release Summer of love in Europe/Australia and do some big promo. What would you change?

I hope pt. 2 gets to silver first!

I am surprised the album is still top 20 worldwide!

Thanks for the update @DanielCarey ! Hopefully WTFH pt2 will be next with a silver certification.

I got the promo single for TAFTM.

Here and now

Great! I can imagine and enjoy @Paddington James

That’s actually a good idea @gooddelta, BBF/LUM (new mix). And release this after H/T died down.

That’s great, especially with It’s short chart run! I’m happy they got another gold certification with their new material.

I totally agree with building up their momentum. Though it would’ve been nice for BBF to grab the #1 spot as well. Mm, not sure about a 6th single though. Maybe a double A with a new track?

Deeper for me!

The above post is updated. #12 on the global chart after 14 weeks and almost at 1.5 million copies sold!

I think a lot of things went great for them this era. Changes for me: -Delay the BBF for a month or 2/3. H/T was still riding high and it could’ve been a #1 in other weeks in the UK. -Not doing an US release. More promo in Europe/Australia and Asia, especially as Steptacular was released and less of a succes in those regions. -Maybe a re-release of the album in Europe around the time H/T was a hit in some countries over there (with some extra tracks/mixes). -Release BBF in Australia. Depending on their promo it could’ve been a nice top 20 hit.

Album Step one (11 September 1998) Singles 5,6,7,8 (10 November 1997) Last thing on my mind (20 April 1998) One for sorrow (24 August 1998) Heartbeat/Tragedy (9 November 1998) Better best forgotten (8 March 1999) ———————————————————— Are their things that you would’ve changed?

Just like the first time ❤️
