Confirmed as number 2.

Still a great achievement.

I wonder the sales?

I hope it doesn't come down to just a few sales, that would be gutting...

As you say a #2 album 24 years into their career is a great achievement and I hope they aren't too disappointed. What a week that was.

Bring on the tour!

If it's like 2 sales...

Manics beat them by 1.9K which I guess is better than 100. No idea where that extra 2K came from though!

Number 2 just announced on radio 1

That's OK then! Certainly not as disappointing as a couple of hundred.

Number 2 is great!!!

Does anyone know what Steps ended on?

I swear there’s some conspiracy theory going on stopping Steps getting number ones over the years since their debut haha

I don't feel so bad about not getting a copy on Friday now

Anyways - onwards and upwards

We have a sell out tour to look forward to (going twice for the same tour for the first time) and 2022 is likely to bring reissues, remixes and other goodies a plenty so between them and Punchdrunk I am going to have no money - but I don't care

If it was this amount then that additional Black vinyl would have got them that number one.

2-2-2 is a great album run! Especially after 24 years.

 

[Chris Lala]

Yeah they also just skipped ABBA in the chart and went straight onto some gangsta rap shite

Let’s not please, thanks.

I mean 2-1-4-1-1-2-2-2 is pretty Steptacular.

Probably the Amazon price reduction yesterday and the t-shirt/Polaroid bundle.

 

[Kylemj]

The shirt was a good incentive, its unlikely you would gets Steps t-shirt for a fiver

That bundle will have done it yes. That was a great final move from them. Well done on another no 2 album though Steps!

They ad their inshore sales added yesterday and shifted a load of bundles

The Manics did a ridiculous amount of bundles on Wednesday/Thursday. Signed prints, Polaroids, t-shirts, all sorts. I think the Steps vinyls and first batch of downloads counted on Thursday’s update which helped them catch up, but then Steps didn’t really have anything else to offer beyond a price reduction and 57 emails telling us to download our purchases on Thursday.

In any case, a fine result and very relieving that it’s 1900 copies rather than 19 between them!

Quite savvy of them to not ship the T-shirt and Polaroid until November, because technically it doesn’t need to be limited as it just means they’ll now know how many T-shirts to have made and how many Polaroids to take…!
