Would be nice but I think there’s too much of a risk? She has her niche audience so why bother?

Totally agree! Both songs are in my top 10 favorite Steps songs :heart:

#8 Platinum collection Yes, I have some time left to continue this countdown At #8 we have another Greatest hits, the Platinum Collection. The album was released on 19 August 2022 through Sony Music Entertainment. This release was special as it marks the 25th(!) anniversary of the band since their formation back in 1997. This version includes the groups greatest hits, also from their new material, along with two brand new songs; Hard 2 Forget and The Runner. Though it’s their shortest run in the album chart, together with the Light up the world album, it did bring them some impressive stats! It got Steps another certified album (currently silver, so over 60.000 copies sold) and by getting to #1 it got them the record for the first British mixed-gender group to achieve four number 1 albums in four different decades (on the UK album chart). Who would’ve though they would accomplish that when they released 5,6,7,8? On a global scale it also reached the charts in Scotland (#1), Ireland (#13), Belgium Flanders (#47) and Australia (#78). On a personal note this release isn’t my favorite release by Steps but I’m really happy with the record it brought them. Also, it was (back then) the first Steps release on vinyl also including their recent singles. The let down for me are the new tracks. Hard 2 forget might be my least favorite lead single and I find the Runner okish. Your thoughts?

That one has a higher placing then you might expect And yes, I’ll continu this very soon

100% this! The voting is interesting as well :o

For me I think Something for me. It’s such a typical Steps song. What the future is great, Something is just a little bit better personally. It could’ve been a small top 100 hit with the wright promo.

I love WTFH as a single. It’s new and still typical Steps (oh, and Sia was involved I believe?). With a good futuristic video it kicked off the WTFH era in a great way if you ask me. Still, I’ve been listening to Something in your eyes a lot lately and I was wondering if this could’ve been an even better lead?

What the future holds

Absolutely :heart:

That’s good considering it was a quiet year :cheer:

:cheer: Some cassettes and who knows some other promo items. I would love the official promo for TMFAR :heart:

Not yet! I’ll continue this a bit later this week

I finally got my hands on Baby don’t dance :heart: Please don’t ask me what price I payed

Indeed and I’m so gratefull that they are still around! Definitely, especially to see how far they come, the dynamics back then and also the nostalgia it gives me (some things in those clips are so 90’s).

I totally agree :heart:

Yes, the cover was very ‘meh’ if you ask me. I’m going to continue this countdown soon (a bit bussy with work) :) Any predictions?

Nice! Any footage?

Agreed! Though the material itself wasn’t new (besides DQ). I did enjoy the DVD-version as I finally could play all their videos :heart:

#9 The ultimate collection Boxing day 2001 was a very sad one for Steps fans as the band had anounced they had split. After the group spent much of 2001 strongly dismissing claims of a split, fans were furious and accused the group of capitalising on the success of a host of merchandise released in the lucrative pre-Christmas market. However, it has since come to light that both H and Claire left the group on the last night of the Steps' Gold: Greatest Hits tour, because of their ongoing unhappiness within the group, although Steps' official statement stated that the split was caused by their belief that they should end on a high, while they were at their best and could be remembered for being the best of their kind. For years nobody had any hopes the band would ever come back after this. Then, ‘Steps: Reunion’ premiered on Sky Living on 28 September 2011. Resolving their issues from the past it was time for a serious reunion. This included a big tour and the release of The ultimate collection. The album was released on 10 October 2011 through Sony Music Entertainment. It features Steps' first recording in ten years, a cover of Dancing queen. In its first week the cd debuted at number one in the United Kingdom selling 34.000 copies (current sales are over 338.787 copies). The ultimate collection also reached #1 in Scotland and #13 in Ireland. My personal opinion in this album? Yes, I was really happy with their reunion. Moving on from the past they had everyone in full nostalgia mood. This album? It got them a third #1 but it doesn’t add a lot for me on a personal level. It’s basicly Gold plus their version of Dancing queen as an extra track (which isn’t their best cover in my opinion). Thoughts?

Steps in South Africa - part two Hbxg2LpwaBk?si

Thoughts?

:heart:

Would have been nice. I’ll continue the results later :heart:

Yeah, me too! Hopefully something for the future? As in, a camptastic cheesy Christmas song!

Happy new year everybody and on to a Steptacular 2025 :heart:
