Show Notes
It's hard to believe, but it has been 25 years since the release of Steps debut album ‘Step One’, a record that has gone on to become one of the most iconic pop albums of the 90s. Released on September 14th 1998 in the UK, it would produce 5 hit singles, 4 of which went Top 10 and of course that #1 million selling AA side.
Worldwide sales are currently over 3 million and as of August 2023 it has a total combined number of nearly 100 million streams on Spotify. Not bad from an act who in the beginning, the label saw Steps as a one-off novelty record act.
We take a HUGE deep dive into the album, our memories of this special time and take you on a journey by talking through each track. As you can imagine, Brad has lots of thoughts and feelings about the infamous 'Track 7'.
As always, another huge news round up for you all including a debrief on the recent Brighton Pride performance.
