Steps didn't need Michelle before and they don't need her now. The likelihood is that most of her followers would either only want the song she's on (that they already have) or are already fans of Steps and have the album already. I don't think her tweeting about it would gain enough sales to snatch the #1.
As much as I like Take Me For A Ride as a casual mid-temp bop I can't help but feel that someone lied to them several times about it's greatness and single worthy excellence.
Lucky for us (sort of) their concerts start this Saturday (and a free NHS concert Sunday) so I would imagine a surge of streams from gig goers next week however you would also then have streams for those looking forward to the concerts

"Someone" being Topham and Twigg.
Well Twigg did also do Heartbreak In This City which is excellent. Maybe it was that one?
I'm really enjoying Take Me For A Ride
It's definitely been a grower

Ride works better with the longer intro, it really gives the backing track more impact.
Whilst I do think it was a questionable choice as the lead single for Part 2 (would have been better as single 2 or 3), I really like Take Me For A Ride. The video is one of my favourite post-2017, and the album version enhances it.
Post 2017, I think Steps/their team have on several occasions favoured songs as singles that have an association with a 'well-known' writer/artist:
Story of a Heart (Abba-connection)
Dancing With A Broken Heart (Delta)
What The Future Holds (not sure who this was written by!? Ha!)
Take Me For A Ride (Twigg)
Hundred Years of Winter (Darren Hayes)
I wonder do they get overly-excited with the particular writer/artist connections to a song that they have recorded and thus perceive the song as 'better' or more single-worthy as a result of their own excitement? I just feel there have been a few cases where fans could have chosen 'better' singles. Glitter & Gold says hello.

Is A Hundred Years confirmed as the next single then? I missed a few pages this last week
