I think it will. I hope so anyway. Steps seem to be doing better than the Spice Girls when they reunited.

Well the tour has already sold out so it's a yes on that one
The new album, i very much doubt it will do well Plus i disagree that Steps are doing better than Spice girls. Spice girls comeback tour went all around the world and the US especially were mad for it. I can't say the same for steps. |

Why is there no option for 'tour won't - album won't'?
I'm surprised their record label are so willing to throw their money away in this economic climate, this isn't 2003. They will flop. |

It all depends on how good the album is really, so it is actually quite hard to predict that.
Their ultimate collection album has gone to number 1 whilst the spice girls collection has only gone to number 2. |

Good luck to them but it's not going to do as well as other comeback artists. |

Yeah I can't see a new album doing well at all, people are really into the tour because it's abit of nostalgia but somehow I can't see a new album working.

In my opinion, it all depends on the material. If their tracks are strong dance/pop crossover anthems...then why not?
The charts are crying out for a good quality pop group...and Steps fills that brief perfectly. Looking forward to more Abba/SAW style pop songs from one of the best pop groups of the last twenty years. |

Those days are gone. Talentless groups like Steps won't be able to get away with shameless miming seeing as though none of them can sing. I think a tour is as far as they can go.

![]() A little history lesson coming up...do you remember the following...The Monkees from the 60s, Abba, The Carpenters and Brotherhood Of Man from the 70s, Bucks Fizz, Dollar and Bananarama from the 80s, Spice Girls, Eternal, S Club 7, Atomic Kitten and Steps from the 90s and Girls Aloud and JLS from the 00s? Through the years, people have always loved good pop...and always will do. Where is the positive pop currently? If Steps' new tracks are strong enough, people will buy them, in my view. Wouldn't it also be nice for a pop group, unconnected to the X Factor, to be successful? For what it is worth, I believe Claire has a very strong voice to. |

BIB - Agreed. It's not quite as good now as it was in the day but she will get it back with confidence. Faye is quite good too. H is alright too.
I think the key is this...people will buy into Steps Part 2 if Claire, Faye, Lisa, H and Lee convey a genuine belief in what they are doing. If they believe in themselves and it comes across, the public will believe in them. |

I think the tour will do well but the album will fail. It is not like they are Justin Bieber etc who have a huge fanbase that will buy anything they put out in order to add it to their collection. Most people will download the Steps album for free.

Lisa is the only one that sounds bad live. Faye and Claire sound great live. H sounds OK live too imo.

![]() I dunno if it was on this forum or somewhere else but a few years ago, I remember reading a 'Should Steps Get Back Together?' thread, to which the response was overwhelmingly negative and pessimistic. But then look what happened, a successful reunion, number one album and sell-out tour, something which even the most ardent of (remaining) fans were flabbergasted by. And so I believe that a new album could work. Well, it'd be pretty hard not for it to be successful, if you are planning on having a weekly infomercial to support the project/album (an opportunity I'm sure many pop groups would kill for). I suspect they might have the initial top 10, riding on the success of the tour but after that, they'll be looking at lower chart placings and appealing to a niche audience and I suspect a rather pink niche audience but it's an audience none the less and a profitable one at that. |
