Andrew has sent in some Steps South Africa news! When Steps were in South Africa they promised up a tour very soon because they have sold 60,000 albums there! They said they had a really good response there. They also announced they will be releasing Say You’ll Be Mine / Better the Devil You Know […]

Thanks to Chris at Zomba Records for this: the US Tragedy video, which is taken from their live show in Manchester, is now on the US Box music channel – so get requesting. Also Jive hasn’t made the same mistake as they did with the Better The Devil You Know video and they have left […]

Thanks to Taz again for more on Steps’ new look! They are going for a pop-rock look, probably a bit like what the Backstreet Boys wore for their performance at last year’s MTV VMAs. It must be a Jive Records thing! Thanks to Richard for this information! A Steps TV special will air on Australian […]

MTV UK has revealed information about the new Steps video Deeper Shade Of Blue. They said the video will be their most professional to date, and Steps play their alter-egos in the video. The colour scheme… well you guessed it… will be blue! This video is going to be so huge that MTV UK is […]

Thanks to everyone who has asked about the next Steps single after Deeper Shade Of Blue, which is out 13 March. Well here is a sum up of what people have heard from various sources. I’ve had a few people contacting me asking if You’re Everything That Matters To Me will be the sixth single […]

Not great for Steps this week dropping ten places in the singles chart. But on the brighter side their album Steptacular might have dropped to number twelve but it has now gone 4x platinum which is 1.2 million copies – and only 1x platinum behind their first album Step One. Which is good as usually […]

GenSTEPS stresses not to read too much into this – it’s the tabloids again. Remember Lee has always talked about doing movies so really the movie talk is nothing new. STEPS’ LEE TO QUIT FOR MOVIES EXCLUSIVE STEPS singer Lee Latchford-Evans has told friends he wants to quit the pop group to concentrate on a […]

Say You’ll Be Mine has now been added to MTV Asia, please help them out by voting for them! www.mtvasia.com/Channel/Shows/MTVLoaded/vote.html Steps will also be playing the London nightclub G-A-Y at the Astoria again on Saturday 11 March.

GenSTEPS appears in this month’s .net internet magazine (http://netmag.co.uk) If you have it and have a scanner can you scan the small article for me? Thanks to everyone who has sent in news! Keep those stories coming in! In Smash Hits, Claire is this month’s “person in the sack”. She answers questions such as “Does […]

Steps seem to be doing major promo work in the US next month. The album, Step One is set for release on 8 February, Tragedy will get its commercial release on 15 February (thanks Andre!) and of course that Disney special on 19 February! So let’s get Steps premiered on MTV US by voting for […]

The UK charts looked better this week for Steps. Their album Steptacular moves up to number five, up from eight last week – and the single Say You’ll Be Mine / Better The Devil You Know moves up four places to number four. If we get some promotion over the next week it could boost […]

It’s another new year for Steps, and for this website. Since opening my first Steps website back in November 1998 we finally hit the year 2000! Hope everyone enjoyed themselves! GenSTEPS has now been open since 1 August 1999, which is five months – and we’ve had over 180,000 hits in that time, so thank […]

Channel 4’s teletext service singles of the year (pg 144) has placed Steps at number five with Say You’ll Be Mine. This is what they had to say: “Almost overlooked among the Westlife / Cliff / Hamsters Christmas number one race, which was a birrova shame. Certainly, the gang saved their best (so far) til […]

Thanks to ForWeb for those wonderful awards given to GenSTEPS – it’s very appreciated and gives us more drive to make GenSTEPS even better in the year 2000 and beyond! This is what ForWeb had to say: “Steps aren’t everyone’s cup of tea but this site would impress anyone with its lively and professional appearance. […]

As I’ve told a few people and have thought all along, the US Step One album will have the same look and feel as the UK Steptacular album. This has been confirmed but the cover hasn’t been printed yet so as soon as it is I’m sure GenSTEPS will get a copy!

We’ve had this for a few days now but have only just put it on the site. US news thanks to Chris at Zomba Records! Tragedy the song and video will be released to the relevant stations and music channels (eg The Box, MTV) on 17 January 2000. The video will contain mostly live footage, […]

We were all confused about why Steps went sliver with Say You’ll Be Mine but only entered the chart at number seven! GenSTEPS has been on the case to Dotmusic, so thank you Joe for sending in what it all means! According to Dotmusic, sales certificates are for the amount of the single / album […]

Early sales show that the UK’s top three singles are yet to change from last week’s positions, so it seems that Steps aren’t going to get the first number one of the year 2000 (like they did last year with the first number one of 1999). Thanks to Char for sending this in: STEPS FAYE […]

We have been informed that Steps will be on Dutch channel TMF again on 21 December at 4pm. It is a repeat of last year’s special. Despite Steps only charting at number seven, it seems the UK chart’s sales this year are way below previous years. If I recall correctly last year both the Spice […]

OK, so Steps get a UK #7 in the 1999 Christmas chart – but Say You’ll Be Mine / Better The Devil You Know has received a silver certification whereas Westlife (who went number one) don’t have anything. So why is this? Firstly it could just been an error at Dotmusic, but I believe it […]
