Steps

High is the closest thing to a ballad on the album. Winter is a bop-ballad

And even still I would class them both as Mid Tempos

 

[Mvnl]

I mean, some people call One For Sorrow a ballad, going by that they do have a lot of them..

 

[Anjoel40]

Yes, just done 'Take Me For A Ride', more later.

My eyes kept going to the phone in Lees pocket during that performance

 

[MB]

Great performance, they looked and sounded amazing.

His "Big One" lol

Great performance. I just wish they allowed Lee to do at least one of the bridges by himself.

That was incredibly awesome! Claire’s register was very low at the beginning.

Have to say what hasn’t been mentioned is well done to the cheographer, not so much the dance moves but how they are moving on stage. I noticed it to with the radio 2 show. Just the moving into position has become so much more stylised

I think that’s one of my favourite performance looks they’ve had in a while.

Really solid performance. Lisa in particular nailed her parts.

They're closing the gap!



It would be quite amazing if they went from 2 in the midweeks to 1 in the final chart, especially after the last 2 albums were 1 in the midweeks then 2 in the final after being knocked off by Ed Sheeran and Gary Barlow.

Just shows how mature and we'll crafted they've become. I love this version of Steps!

1.1K, we've got the vinyls from yesterday and also this new digital bundle and today's promo. It's going to be close, very close! Manics had a ticket/cd bundle this morning but only a small acoustic gig so won't be adding many.

I've never been one to try and get an act to number one....I've bought the album, that should be enough. But for some reason, I'm really on board for this one, I'm not a streamer, yet have made sure to play it at least 3 times a day since release, and I've bought several copies of the same bloody thing.

I don't know what's happening to me.

I draw the line at a vinyl though.

 

[Knightr634]

I don’t think I can cope with this now becoming a tense chart battle. I’m glad I’ve booked this week off work!

 

[actorandlyricist]

Tour advert as part of the This Morning as break. Classic.

If it is this close tomorrow. I might have to cave and get the Chalkys poster deal.

 

[Knightr634]

I know we’re going to get a melody of Deeper Shade, One For Sorrow and Stomp, but I wish they’d drop one of them for Scared or Something In Your Eyes

 

[maverick_79]

The signed copy is now £9.99 on Amazon and regular £4.99.

 

[Vasilios]

I hope they beat the Manics. Cmon dubai!

 

[Voicething]

Add on another 500 signed vinyl and today’s TV promo… this is going to be very close.

 

[Deleted member 10466]

I’ve just bought a CD from Amazon, justifying it that I won’t damage my signed one (if it arrives).

Any excuse.

The fact that they have a fighting chance at #1 with an album of "outtakes" released less than a year after the previous one and, most of all, without a full big hit is a huge testament to them. I don't think even the fans give them enough credit.

How many other acts on the forum wished they would be in this position.
