On June 1, 2022, Steps announced they would be releasing their third greatest hits album “Platinum Collection” to celebrate 25 years in the music industry and since their formation in 1997.[5] Following the announcement of the upcoming release, group members Lisa Scott-Lee, and Faye Tozer, were interviewed with Official Charts Company. Both Scott-Lee and Tozer expressed their happiness with the 25th anniversary of the group, stating “It’s nice for us to spread a little happiness. I think Steps add a certain sparkle to the world.” Also stating “This anniversary marks the perfect moment to take a look back at everything we’ve achieved as a band. We realised that we’ve released a full 3 new studio albums since our last Greatest Hits so it felt like time to combine all our hits on one package. We’ve recorded two brand-new tracks for the album and hay presto, the Platinum Collection was born. It was such good fun listening back at 25 years of our songs and we hope you enjoy this trip down memory lane as much we did.”[5]
