Report from enemy lines: there is a cryptic post suggesting inside intel that Steps have not got the no. 1. May be reading too much into it though - will keep you posted…

It said ‘If nothing, they’ll definitely get no. 1 with next year’s greatest hits’. A few replies asked if this was a chart position spoiler, the original poster did not respond but ‘liked’ the replies. Some are taking this as confirmation that Steps are not no1 but as I said it could be reading too much into it!

Indeed - but then why hasn’t the original poster denied that that was his meaning? Unless he’s just playing silly buggers of course!

Is the original poster of any merit or just a fan?

No idea, but some of his posts suggest he works in the music industry. Some posters are taking him seriously and some think it may be a wind up. Who knows! Just thought it would be fun to report on what’s happening on the other side, but really we won’t know til this evening.

Ask the original poster what they mean/know...
Pose as a Steps fan. Dig out a chavvy tracksuit. Say "innit", "vibin" and "wicked" a lot. Go covert. Go rogue

I won’t say any more as I don’t want to inadvertently relay incorrect news!
This who are curious can check out the Steps thread on Popjustice and see what you think. You don’t need to register to view it.

Out of interest, did any notice the Tony guy on the Stay Beautiful fb page yesterday proclaiming that he'd bought 359 vinyl copies of TUVL? Was this bloke 4 real?

Mental!!

I think he ended up buying almost 400 CDs, a load of vinyls. He was getting some serious abuse about it too

400? Bloody hell, I guess he can sell them off afterwards but that's some serious commitment there for sure.
