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 […]

In the UK Saturday chart, Steps placed number five with Say You’ll Be Mine / Better The Devil You Know. Not got your copy yet? Make sure you go get your copy today! Is number five going to be Steps’ favourite number? We hope not – Steps are still one of the favourites to become […]

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 […]

Thanks to everyone who has sent in news, the more the better! More news on Tragedy in the US. A New York radio station, which has been known to play Tragedy, has now added the song to its playlist! This can be viewed by going to www.ktu.com and clicking on Playlist – it is near […]

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 […]

Thanks to Louise for sending in these confirmed Steps Christmas TV appearances! Christmas Day: SMTV Live, 9:25am ITV Pepsi Chart Show, 11am Channel 5 TOTP, 1:30pm BBC One Boxing Day: Stepping Out – the acting and performing talents of pop band Steps are revealed in this mix of comedy drama and concert footage. 3:40pm – […]

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 […]
