The thing is..what can we do about it? I just hope it won’t turn into a big mess….

#10 Heartbreak in this city (7.50) • Director: Harold Strachan • Locations: Manchester and Dubai • Released: 1 April 2021 • YouTube views: 1.800.000 Starting of the top 10 is the video for Heartbreak in this city. As mentioned before, the difference in average scores are close in this part of the countdown. So with just 0,07 points more Heartbreak gets to #10. It features RPDR judge Michelle Visage and at the start of the video you see her heading into a high security facility. There she punches in the security code ‘5,6,7,8’ (a nod to their debut single) and joins the members of Steps to tackle heartbreak. This through pop music and dance moves. Lisa shot her scenes separately in Dubai as she couldn’t travel because of COVID at the time. I’m surprised at it’s total views btw, I thought the feature of Michelle would be enough to secure some more. I’m not mad at this video at all. Love the nod to their first single and Michelle fits in like a glove. Also, it looks less ‘budget’ then some of the newer videos. I must say Claire looks gorgeous in this one, especially with the ponytail :heart: The only issue I have is that it looks a bit random at moments. The scores for Heartbreak were very stable, receiving scores between a seven and a nine ending with an average score of 7.5.

Yes! Which videos would make your top 10? #10 is on it’s way

What’s been the biggest surprise for you (and why)? Something in your eyes Love’s got a hold on my heart It’s the way you make me feel Heartbreak in this city One for sorrow Chain reaction Deeper shade of blue What the future holds Tragedy Say you’ll be mine

Could be? Hopefully we’ll get something on Spotify. Meanwhile I’m listening to 5,6,7,8 btw

Thanks! I already had the LP but it’s nice to have the picture disc as well (more songs to one side)! Well, it’s one of their shortest run so that’s a bit disappointing personally. On the other hand..streaming and giving the fact it’s their third GH’s I’m not mad either. I don’t know if the general public was aware of the new material?

Oh, that’s lovely :heart: it’s giving me a new appreciation for the song!

No surprise indeed and let’s hope the delay will ‘only’ be 3 weeks (and not a year)…!

It’s the way you make me feel (listening to the Platinum collection picture disc :heart: )

Any surprises this far for anyone? And..what are your predictions for the top 10?

[ #11 Neon blue (7.43 • Director: Edward Cooke • Location: The Garage (Highbury) • Released: 11 August 2017 • YouTube views: 2.100.000 Just missing out on the top 10 is the video for Neon Blue at #11. The scores got very close in this section of the countdown as Neon is 0,03 ahead of #12 and 0,07 behind #10! The treatment for this video was written by Lee, his girlfriend Kerry-Lucy Taylor and Steps' stylist Frank Strachan. It begins with solo shots of each member during the first verse sitting in a room with dust covers draped over various props. It is intercut with shots of a woman sitting at a table in a cafe who has been stood up. The barista looks over and hands her a leaflet to attend a party at a nightclub for people who are feeling downcast. At the same time, a man and woman are shown to be having an argument outside of the nightclub and it is premised that they break up. As the chorus begins, a dust cover is pulled off of a glitter ball and the room transforms into a lively club space whereby Steps are performing a dance routine along with club goers. As the video progresses, the woman from the cafe and the man from the argument meet each other on the dancefloor, their luck having turned around, amongst the crowd of people enjoying themselves and dancing. It ends with confetti and streamers flying around the night club as the band hug each other. A cute video from their recent material! I enjoy the uplifting vibe and their genuine camaraderie, especially at the end. The only (big) con for me is that it looks a bit budget and random at moments. Also, the message of the song gets a bit lost for me. Other then that Neon received votes between a six and a nine ending with an average score of 7.43.

Thanks Jay and definitely! Still, they aren’t doing that bad for an act that started in the 90’s :heart:

Thanks for those videos! Seems like a good show :heart:
