Steps need YOUR help. The Box is running a Pop World Cup where you can vote for your favourite acts in a bit of a Football World Cup style. Steps are in group four, it is a pretty hard group with acts Will Smith, Atomic Kitten, Melanie C & Artful Dodger in the same group. So please vote for Steps by popping down to http://www.thebox.co.uk/popworldcup/.

Also you can vote for Steps in the best pop video here http://www.thebox.co.uk/bestvideoever/. You might have noticed that before episodes of The Simpsons on Sky One members of Steps are talking about their favourite bits from the show. This is in aid of Sky One 10th Anniversary Celebrations of The Simpsons this coming weekend!

This isn’t Steps-related but you might have read or heard recently that Scooch have been dropped by their record label. Apparently both bands have been unofficially at each other’s throats – or so the press have been making it out. Also I have not heard anything confirmed on this despite UK Play having a phone vote on the event. I checked their official site on Friday and their record label site and found nothing, but this might have changed now if this fact is true.
