So what is steps?
It was Tim Byrne who decide pop needed some fresh new faces! Girl power was taken over by the spice girls and the charts were taken over by numerous boy-bands! It was time for something different!
A boy/girl group was just the answer!
Tim Byrne put an ad in the showbiz newspaper the stage asking for girls and boys wit htalent and looks to audition! with slick dance moves in mind byrne called his not yet formed band steps!
As the dance routines were to be a big part of the success of the band tim recruited choreographer Paul Robertsto train the newly formed band!
The first song 5,6,7,8 made a craze for line dancing and while filming the video in cuba lisa held a line dancing class for 300 cubans! (go lisa!)
The last part of the package was the legendary producer Pete Waterman! waterman alone has produced at least 100 top 40 hits with various bands and now it was steps turn!Waterman defined steps as Abba on speed! (lol) Waterman agreed that steps were the perfect band to set our planet alight with steps fever!
Steps debut single 5678 released in November 98 hung aroung in the charts for ages it became the biggest selling single this decade not to reach the top ten! this song sold 300,000 in the uk and 500,000 worldwide! it spent 17 weeks in the top 40!
After relesing Last thing on my mind steps fears of being one hit wonders was well and truely over! it racked up 260,000 sales in 8 weeks it spent in the top 20 and 2 appearances on top of the pops!
One for sorrow reached number2 in the uk selling 140,000 copies in the first 7 days. And heartbeat/tragedy spent 15 weeks in the top 10 and reached number 1!
In switzerland steps were soooo popular that they were used to advertise shoes in their last thing on my mind video! What can you expest of a country that have only bought out cheese with holes in and the cuckoo clock?
The first album step 1 was a struggle as they had 15 possible songs they wanted to use and they only just manged to whittle them down to 12! Step 1 went to number 2 in teh album charts in the uk selling 41,000 in the first week this led to world wide success!
Steps soon found themselves in so much demand all around the world the only time they could relax was on the plane! they are mobbed everywhere!
In sweden the rest of the band stripped H naked and locked him out of the rooms. the only thing he could find to hide his embarassment was a tiny tea towel!
Look out world steps are well and truly out to conquer the world of pop!
