That’s lovely! So we can say the musical is a success?

It’s a pitty I don’t live in the UK :(

Welkome back indeed :cheer: #2 Top artist #53 Something in your eyes #70 Love’s got a hold on my heart #74 Last thing on my mind #79 Summer of love #93 It’s the way you make me feel

I’ll keep this open until Sunday. Any last votes?

That was a fact? ‘Happy’ they got one a year later though!

Yup! They definitely deserved ‘Best newcomer’ if you ask me. Still, the history books show us something different and I think the fraude hasn’t been proved 100%?

That’s great! I think I would’ve gone if I’d live in the UK (especially after the footage/reviews) :heart:

I don’t think Forever hitting #1 would’ve changed a lot but #2 didn’t help either..also, the dynamics within the SG changed and it showed publicly. Combined with the change to a more ‘cool rnb’ sound.. Steps stuck to their formula and the tension wasn’t that visible or the nearing exit of some members.

Any last votes?

Merci :) Definitely and added :) Does anyone have concrete feats about their tours btw?

I want to make a list of some of Steps biggest accomplishments, so here we go :cheer: More coming soon and updates/corrections are welcome!

Charts • 15 UK top 10 hits, including 2 #1’s • 9 UK album top 5 hits, including 4 #1’s. • The first British, mixed-gender group to achieve four number 1 albums in four different decades (on the UK album chart). • 12 Flemish top 50 hits, including 2 #1’s. • 4 Flemish album top 20 hits, including 1 #1. • Last thing on my mind spending 10 consecutive weeks at #1 on the Flemish chart. • 5,6,7,8 was their first #1 (Australia). • Global #1’s: 5,6,7,8 (Australia), Last thing on my mind (Belgium Flanders), One for sorrow (Belgium Flanders), Heartbeat/Tragedy (NZ) and Step one (Belgium Flanders). Sales/certifications • Single certifications UK: 8 silver, 4 gold, 1 platinum and 1 double platinum. • 4.8 million certified UK single sales. • Album certifications UK: 2 silver, 2 gold, 1 platinum, 1 double platinum, 2 quadruble and 1 quintuble platinum. • 5.12 million certified UK album sales. • 5,6,7,8 and Heartbeat/Tragedy selling more then 1 million copies worldwide. • Step one selling 2.5 million copies worldwide. Other accomplishments • A Steps musical.

Though I love the SG, I think the biggest issue with ‘Forever’ was the lack of magic/the girls seem to care less. I do think the album could’ve sold (a bit) more with another single. Though there was some tension behind the scenes Steps still went full force with promo/releasing singles with their third era. I don’t mind TLD peak, a top 40 placing would’ve looked better.

Happy to hear Herbs :heart: And that’s a lovely message to your younger self (very recognisable as well). Thanks Jay, I’m going to watch the videos tonight.

Baby don’t dance

That would be a nice idea, to spread the formats a bit over the first weeks.

Thanks and keep the votes coming :cheer:

Good to see Lisa as well :)
