I wouldn't be mad at say 5 additional tracks for a new Greatest Hits, don't want them to burn out again
Good God... they are giving away 30 tickets in this competition...

So if you've got 29 friends and fancy a champagne reception at a venue of your choice, go for it. According to The Scum's T&Cs ''winners will be chosen based on who deserves to win the prize". I mean... what a way to say ''Jenny from accounting is getting it"

A new song or two for a Greatest Hits, if there is one, would be great. I'd rather not have another plain old Greatest Hits though, something a bit different would be ace.

I'm pretty surprised they're so far behind in sales already. Did the people in here who've seen the numbers confirm it's definitely the Manics that are beating them?
Steps are (well) ahead of the Manics in physicals on Amazon and HMV best sellers and are still #1 on iTunes, with the Manics down at 7. Then there's all the bundle sales.
Where are the Manics getting all the sales from?
EDIT: I see the Manics have 3 other versions under number 70 on Amazon, so that'll help them I suppose. I'm hoping Steps have a few thousand physical sales that have still to be added from orders not shipped at the point the Friday sales were counted.

Not another greatest hits please!
If they can be more creative and tie every together. Like a time capsule box set with unreleased stuff.
And they still need to do an anti tour. That would be great too.

Probably streaming. Which unfortunately is Steps' Acheeles Heel!

I can't imagine the Manics being more of a streaming force than Steps though.
The same analogy can be said for other fillers in the other albums. There would be one, two, or three tracks that stick out like a sore thumb, but that doesn't mean they are the leftover tracks or "rejects".
Step One has "Experienced", "Two Weak Too Resist", "Stay With Me". Steptacular has "I Think It's Love", "Moving On", "Make It Easy On Me". Buzz has "Wouldn't Hurt So Bad", "Happy Go Lucky", "Buzzz". Tears have "Firefly", "Space Between Us", "You Make Me Whole". Part 2 is far the leftover label in my opinion. I am enjoying it through and through.
I trust Steps would give their absolute best every single time and that's picking the best tracks for Part 2. If Part 2 tracks aren't good enough, I don't think they would have had the confidence to release it in the first place.

I’d be intrigued now, given the range of singles they have had, what songs they would select for maybe a 12-14 track compilation.

I mean there's literally songs on there that were leftover from the original recording sessions for Part 1 so...
I was just giving my opinion, and as I said everyone has different tastes and it's great that 24 years later, we're getting new music from them. I don't need to love every song they do, nor does anyone else. I do hold Steps to an extremely high standard, but that's only because I know they're capable of some of the best pop songs I've ever heard.
Interestingly my friend isn’t happy because the copy she pre-orderd back in April on Amazon still hasn’t arrived and got an email from Amazon to say they have a stock issue. Makes me wonder if Amazon sales have been counted?
Yea, my Amazon order still hasn't shipped and surely I can't be the only lucky one.
They more or less confirmed it getting a video on the Track By Track podcast (Patreon exclusive at the moment). It doesn't sound like it was filmed on the "Ride" weekend so there's still hope that Faye's dress was for a The Slightest Touch video or performance.
