Summer Story

I’m not confident either!

Shall we start a poll for this one? :lol:

#15 Stomp (7.00) • Director: David Amphlett • Location: A luxury penthouse (Chiswick) • Released: Oktober 2000 • YouTube views: 3.951.000 Kicking of the top 15 is the video for Stomp. It was filmed in Chiswick and features group members Lisa and H looking after a penthouse apartment while the owner Bill (Dave Legeno) is away on business. They, and the other group members, then throw a party for all their friends but struggle to tidy up before the owner returns. This was the first single of their third album Buzz and got them their second #1 single. On one hand I’m not surprised that Stomp got this far. It’s fun and it’s giving you very ‘2000’s party with your friends’ vibe. On the other hand it’s a bit childish and I’m surprised it’s higher then After for example. In the voting it got scores between a six and an eight ending with a respectable 7 as it’s average score.

Current streams Burnt out and falling: 6.275 (it’s in her current top 5).

I corrected After :lol: That’s ok! For me the whole vibe is a bit frumpy. But hé, that’s just me ;)

#16 After the love has gone (6.77) • Directors: Camerson Casey and Simon Brand • Location: Universal studios • Released: Oktober 1999 • YouTube views: 5.053.000 Next at #16 we have, with a slight difference, the video for After the love has gone. The music video for the song was shot at Universal Studios Florida in Orlando and has Asian influences. It was directed by Cameron Casey and Simón Brand. The group wear jade-green outfits for the dance sequences, in a setting of Chinese lanterns and a dancing dragon. One of their videos that I personally really enjoy. It has budget and you can see the time and effort they put into this one. I thought it would end up a little higher actually. After the love scores were devising as it got scores between an one and a nine.

I own 99.9% of it’s views

The biggest ‘meh’ with regards to Story is the styling of the band! At least with the S club video it has more of a ‘clean’ vibe. I do enjoy their new material but the old ones have more nostalgic for me. I made a playlist with all the videos and once in a while I play it. The next video will be announced soon! Any predictions?

Me too. Though it is their most known hot outside the UK so I guess it’s getting a lot of views on a global scale.

• You are welcome :) The video countdown got my inspired. • Finished but there might be some mistakes. • I’m going to update this every 2-3 months. • Maybe I’m going to include the Spotify stats as well. Those are just a little harder to update I’ve noticed as I need my laptop.

I switched to Clouds

#17 Story of a heart (6.71) • Director: James Dove • Location: ? • Released: 23 June 2017 • YouTube views: 3.700.000 Moving on to #17 we find Story of a heart. It was hard to find some good information about this video. The plot is quite simple: The band revisit some old memories, photographs and memorabilia on a sunny summer's day. The YouTube views are quite high for a recent Steps video. Besides that, it was their last official ‘hit’, peaking at #173 in the UK charts (there was a top 200 back then). I’m surprised Story got to #17. I don’t mind it and the nostalgic part is cute. I think the styling and location is a bit frumpy for me and doesn’t match the song. The video for Story received scores between a five and an eight to finish with a very decent 6.71.

I wanted the setlist to be like a metaphor for people within LGBTQIA+ community. Starting as a baby/young kid with nothing to worry about (love), then the hardship they most of the times have to face when puberty kicks in (the heartbreak) and hopefully find strength in the end (back to love).

Great result :cheer:

#18 When I said goodbye (6.44) • Directors: Simon Brand • Location: Rome • Released: July 2000 • YouTube views: 1.012.000 With another small difference (0.04 points) we find the video for When I said goodbye at #18. This is a black-and-white video shot in Rome, Italy. It features shots of the members singing solemnly. A colour version was released in 2022. Some shots of Faye looking ‘pensive’ towards the end led some fans to believe that she was leaving the group. This was another double A for Steps as it got released together with Summer of love. That one will pop up later btw! We seem to enjoy the video a bit more then the song. I can see why. Though it is a bit boring the band looks gorgeous and we see some beautiful shots of Rome. Also..I’m happy they released the color version last year! That helped me giving this a slightly better score. Getting votes between a 5 and 9 When I said goodbye ends with a respectable 6.44 in this countdown.

Great idea indeed and will post my reply later :)
