Steps

Steps were a British pop group that achieved a series of charted singles between 1997 and 2001. Their name was based around a simple marketing gimmick: each of their music videos was choreographed, and the dance steps were included with most of their single releases. Steps formed on 7 May 1997 and disbanded on 26 December 2001. In total Steps have sold more than 15 million records, and achieved 14 consecutive Top 5 singles - a feat only surpassed by Boyzone (with 17), Oasis (with 18) and The Beatles and Westlife (who both had 20).

Their debut single was "5,6,7,8" which achieved minor success compared with the success of their other singles. It peaked at #14 on the UK Singles Chart. Their final single released as a group was a double A-side of Words Are Not Enough and I Know Him So Well. This achieved a peak of #5 on the UK Singles Chart.

Their cover of the Bee Gees record "Tragedy" is considered to be Steps most well known song to date. Released as a double A-side single along with Heartbeat it reached #1 on the UK Singles Chart.

The majority of the songs featured prominent female lead vocals, which were generally performed by Faye Tozer or Claire Richards.
