We are very excited to FINALLY be bringing you the next instalment in our Australian deep dive, talking all things ‘BUZZ’ and ‘GOLD’ down under.

To tell this story we knew we needed to enlist the help of Gavin Scott from @chartbeatsau (host of A Journey Through Stock Aitken Waterman and A Journey Through Aussie Pop) who during this time was working for TV Hits and Smash Hits magazine (where he became editor until 2005). Without his passion and love for the group, we would not have received half the coverage we did in these iconic magazines during this period.

While in the UK they were riding high with sell out tours, another #1 single and multi-platinum album, this era was undoubtedly the most frustrating time to be a Steps fan in Australia. We were dealt with a 14 month gap between releases, low charting singles and minimal support from TV & Radio.

As always we have another HUGE news round up as we celebrate the recent chart success of 'Euphoria' and upcoming re-release of 'Never or Now'.

Keep an eye out for the FULL interview with Gavin coming in a fortnights time, where we chat about what it was like being the editor at Smash Hits magazine, memories of interviewing Steps throughout the years, the state of the Australian pop scene in the 00's and so much more.
