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:

Tragedy For some reason this is my new years anthem :heart:

Oh! Still, It reached top 40 and got to silver :heart: I’ll continue this countdown today or tomorrow! Any guesses?

Thanks and on to a Steptacular 2025 :heart: Hopefully! And the tour of the musical so we got something coming.

#10 Tears on the dancefloor: Crying at the disco At #10 we find the reissue of their 2017 comeback album Tears on the dancefloor. After the original album did very well it was time to push it to gold status. Released on oktober 27 in the same year it had five new songs and some remixes added to this new package. It resulted in the album going back to the top 10 (#8) and hitting gold status in the end. Overal sales stand at 125.940 which is a succes, especially in the current sales climate. To me this one feels double. I’m happy it gave the album more weeks in the chart and pushed it to gold status. On the other hand the new tracks didn’t add a lot to the original if you ask me. It’s not that they are terrible, just a bit underwhelming. Your opinion?

#11 The last dance Next we have their second compilation album ‘The last dance’. This one got released after their split and seemed to be a bit of a cash in. There wasn’t a lot of promo for this one (duh) and the overal feel was a bit rushed. Throughout the years they did pay a bit more attention to this release as a 49 track edition is currently available digitally. Released on November 25 in 2002 it ended with a measly peak of #57 in the UK and #64 in Scotland. It did however sell a decent amount of copies to reach gold status (over a 100.000 copies sold). So despite it’s peak it isn’t their worst selling album actually. At the time I was happy it got released because I finally had some tracks on cd (like Mars and Venus). Nowedays I’m not bothered about this release as I barely give it a spin. Your opinion?

Yes! Can you imagine if this was the last we heard of them :o More results coming soon

Merry X-mas :heart:

Also: The last dance (cassette), Buzz (European cassette), It’s the way you make me feel (European cd) and Here and now/You’ll be sorry (cd2).
