Today is a big day of celebration for Steps, who have just gained their fourth Number 1 album in the UK – and first in 11 years – with The Platinum Collection.
Released to celebrate 25 years since Lisa, Faye, H, Claire and Lee first came together, Steps can now celebrate an additional milestone today; becoming the first British, mixed-gender group to earn a Number 1 album in four consecutive decades (1990’s, 2000’s, 2010’s and 2020’s).
In doing so, Steps join a very select club; other bands to have achieved this feat include the Rolling Stones (the first to do so, they’ve since become the first band to score Number 1 albums in six separate decades), Stereophonics and ABBA. While fellow pop legend Kylie Minogue became the first female artist to clinch a Number 1 album in five different decades with the release of DISCO back in November 2020.
Steps previously hit the top spot on the Official Albums Chart with Steptacular (1999), Gold: Greatest Hits (2001) and The Ultimate Collection (2011).
Speaking exclusively to OfficialCharts.com, Steps said, “We could NOT be more thrilled that our Platinum Collection is this week’s UK Official Number 1 album! We have the best fans in the world, and this is all down to their incredible support.
“It’s unbelievable to think that we’ve now broken records, becoming the first British, mixed-gender group to score four Number 1 albums across four consecutive decades! What a way to celebrate our 25th birthday!”
After a three-way chart battle this week against Aitch and Madonna, Steps come out on top as the most physically purchased and digitally downloaded album of the week in the UK.
