This is the Original Steps Podcast for discussing and dissecting the legacy of Steps and that is exactly what this episode is all about. We have an open discussion where we take each album from the original 97-01 run (Step One, Steptacular & Buzz) and discuss a song we think should’ve been a single. #JusticeForLoveUMore

Do you agree with our choices? Let us know on our socials (links below) what you would choose as a single from each album.

And talk about booked and BUSY, we have a HUGE news round up for you this month. The band may be on hiatus but individually each member is busier than ever and we love to see it.

Pre-Order: Claire Richards 'Euphoria' & Lisa Scott-Lee 'Never or Now - The Unleashed Deluxe Edition'

From Britney to Nick Cannon; Shania Twain to Brad's desire to get slimed (on Nickelodeon); nothing is off limits as we evaluate STEPS' success in the USA.

Throughout 99-01 the band released 2 studio albums, 3 singles and a best of state side, as well as TV specials for both Disney & Nickelodeon. Oh AND not forgetting supporting a little known pop star called BRITNEY SPEARS on a sold out 30+ date tour across North America. The Steps story in the US of A is one we don't feel is talked about enough, so we are thrilled to deep dive into this journey and celebrate the success they did achieve in arguably the toughest music market in the world.

It is just a few days before Lisa takes to the stage at Mighty Hoopla for her first solo performance in over a DECADE, so we are officially calling this LISA SCOTT-LEE week and bringing you this BONUS episode to help celebrate.

With the BIGGEST thank you to friend of the pod Leo Stubbing at Sound Museum for providing us with the interview, it was first broadcast on Joy 94.9 in 2006 and conducted by Damian Nicholas. Leo worked at Joy throughout the late 00's and early 10's and dug this out of his archives for us. We are so happy this forgotten interview has resurfaced and we are able to share it with you all.

Note: This interview was conducted 17 years ago and transferred from tape to digital, so the sound quality does mirror this in places.

On May 12th 2003 Lisa Scott-Lee released her ICONIC debut solo single 'Lately' via Mercury Records, becoming the only member of Steps to score a SOLO Top 10 single (and one she co-wrote) as well as inventing what we now know as 'Hun Culture', without even realising she was doing it at the time. We think that is worth celebrating!

Join us as we deep dive into everything regarding the single, from the styling (jeans and a fancy top with a kitten heel), the video, LIVE performances (thats right, our pop girly was serving LIVE vocals on Saturday morning TV in 2003) and not forgetting Lisa's stint as the OG Momager (Kris Jenner who?) to her brothers 3SL.

We continue our deep dive into the Steps journey down under, talking all things STEPTACULAR.

By the end of the STEP ONE era, Steps had cemented themselves as a pop-force not to be messed with. In Australia they had already achieved 4 Top 10 singles (including #1 with 5,6,7,8), Top 5 platinum selling debut album and had sold over half a million singles and albums combined.

Mid 1999 saw the second album era kick into gear, and while in the UK they were going from strength-to-strength (#1 album and a record breaking arena tour), here in Australia things were not looking as bright.

We are SO excited to bring you an exclusive UNHEARD interview with Lee recorded in 1998. This was recorded just after the release of ‘Last Thing On My Mind’ in the UK and Australia, and before the album had been released. A big thank you to Shanes friend Lawrence (who conducted the interview) for giving us permission to share this with you all.

We also have a quick catch-up and debrief on meeting the Sugababes on their recent Australian tour and all the shenanigans Shane got up to at Sydney World Pride.

As 3 Australian fans, we thought it was only right that we discuss and dissect the Steps history down under, beginning with the enormously successful 'STEP ONE' era. In Part 1 of our Australian deep-dive, we relive our memories of this exciting time in 1998 when you simply couldn't escape the Steps fever that had hit the country.
