When GenSTEPS says we have the contacts, we don’t lie. We’ve been on the phone to the people that we know asking a few questions, and of course we got some answers! Many people have emailed me, or asked in their tour reviews why STEPS tour wasn’t sang completely live or why there was no […]

The battle for the UK #1 single at Christmas is on! With some interesting events… Steps’ CD is released on one CD format with the usual 3 tracks, enhanced section and poster. It by far looks like the most impressive single out this week. Westlife has also only released one CD (unless my local HMV […]

Thanks to everyone who sent in news recently, keep those stories coming in to the usual address! It seems that Steps might be getting more success slowly in the US! Tragedy has been played on KTU Radio in New York (one of the biggest Stations in NY). It was played at 7.10pm ET! Perhaps this […]

GenSTEPS has received the news that Shania Twain’s album Come On Over just pipped Steptacular last week to reclaim the UK #1 album. Reports suggest that Shania sold just 500 copies more than Steps. Unfortunately it seems Steps won’t be reclaiming the top spot this weekend as it seems destined to go to George Michael […]

It seems there is no stopping Steptacular – it has now gone 3x Platinum (900,000 copies) in the UK in six weeks, despite being knocked from the top spot by Shania Twain. So that makes Steps’ total UK album sales up to 8x Platinum (3.2 million). The new live video only enters at number two, […]

This year Steps hosted and opened the Smash Hits Poll Winners’ Party 1999. Steps performed Better The Devil You Know and went on to host the show with excellence! Unlike last year, Steps picked up an award! Not a major award, but H won the Funniest Person In Pop award. Steps came second in the […]

So the single release gets closer and closer but what is the industry expecting to top the UK Ccarts on 19 December? The bookies have once again changed their odds, but Steps remain unchanged. The top three favourites are Cliff Richard (evens), Westlife (7/4) and John Lennon (5/2). Steps are sixth favourites at 16/1 but […]

November was a very exciting month for Steps. We saw the opening of the new official site, the continuation of the Next Step arena tour, and Steps recorded their first US concert – with a live band! We also received news of the new single and saw Steptacular sell 600,000 copies in just five weeks! […]

After coming third in last year’s Record Of The Year list with One For Sorrow, Steps have been ignored this year and did not even make the shortlist of 20. Due to this, it means we have to vote for someone else (if we want to of course!). My vote would have to go to […]

As the album is doing so well, it seems that Jive wants to get the next single out already! We all can’t wait for the smashing single Say You’ll Be Mine / Better The Devil You Know – but what is coming out after that? Well GenSTEPS has the answer for you! The current release […]

Steps’ second album Steptacular just keeps on selling. This week in the UK it moves back up to the #1 spot and has now sold over 600,000 copies (2x Platinum) in just 5 weeks! Step One has gone 5x Platinum (1.5 million) in 61 weeks so it seems Steptacular is set to beat that if […]
