Gold: Greatest Hits - Steps

Steps were the biggest UK group since the Spice Girls. With over 4,000,000 singles and 4,000,000 albums sold in the UK alone in only four years. On Boxing Day, 2001 they announced their split. Being a fan, I was devastated. Now, 6 months on – I, like everyone else, am over it. Steps may be gone, but they won’t be forgotten. And a perfect reminder of them is their Greatest Hits- titled Gold. It includes 18 singles from 5678 to Words Are Not Enough, plus two unreleased new songs. The album flows nicely, with the first 11 songs being upbeat, popular Steps songs, finishing with nine mid tempo/ballad’s that are slightly less known maybe, but still ...  Read the complete review

Lisa, Claire, Lee and Faye….. Steps and H...sorry I forgot him first time around but then thats easily done..lol. With a huge string of hits under their belts they have now released Gold, their greatest hits album. Steps have gone from strength to strength both musically and style wise, proved to everyone that they can keep up with any new comers and still produce number one hits. Gold boasts 20 tracks, 3 of which are new, so here is a rundown of what you will get on Gold: ~~ 1.Tragedy (Released 6th November 1998 , peaked at 1) ~~ An excellent remix of the old Bee Gee’s track, this modern version was huge and gave ...  Read the complete review

Time to be begin - let's count 'em in: Lisa, Claire, Faye, Lee & H! In four short years Steps have become one of the most sucessful pop chart acts in the UK, as well as breaking numerous records for their sell-out concert tours. Although their first tentative line-dancing steps into the charts with '5, 6, 7, 8' did not suggest greatness, they have progressed to pop superstardom with their catchy brand of infectious pop singles, highly successful albums and sell-out tours. The great thing about Steps is that they're completely inoffensive (although I'm sure to get some comments to the contrary after saying that!) Their ...  Read the complete review

Let’s get it straight from the beginning, I don’t usually purchase things quite as cheesy as this, however, never owning a Steps cd, and with the announcement that they were splitting up I decided to buy “Gold”, their Greatest Hits cd, I mean it would be good for parties…….! Steps have to be one of the most hardworking groups in the business. I mean every month of the past five years that they have been together I have seen them promoting a new single. Ok, maybe that was a slight exaggeration, but they have released a lot of singles, as this album goes to demonstrate with its 20 chart topping singles. ~~Some ...  Read the complete review

I suppose that now because Steps have broken up their music will slowly disappear from the radio and television, but I think it will be as popular as ever at family parties, wedding receptions and anywhere else where a group of mixed aged people want to dance to easy to listen to pop music. This album has a collection of many of their popular dance music tunes, plus some of their slower, romantic numbers. I am sure it will be played for many years to come. The music on this album does not pretend to have any deep meanings, or is not trying to convey any message, or change the world, it is just good pop music. Of course most teenagers will tell you they ...  Read the complete review
