"Platinum Megamix" is a megamix by British group Steps, released on 3 June 2022 as a non-album single and in promotion of their forthcoming compilation album, Platinum Collection, scheduled for release on 19 August 2022.[1] The group appeared on BBC's The One Show on 1 June 2022 to announce the release of the album and the single.[2]

Music video

[edit]

The music video was released on 1 June 2022.[3] It features a set of computer-generated dioramas patterned after, and featuring "screens" playing scenes from, the music videos of the songs featured in the mix. The video also cuts to full-screen clips from some of the videos it features (denoted with an asterisk in the list below).

Additional shots show the members of Steps watching the presentation in a theatre, sitting behind to younger versions of themselves (from footage shot for the music video for Love's Got a Hold on My Heart).

Live performances

[edit]

On 4 June 2022, Steps performed the track (in a shorter form) live for the first time at the Big Jubilee Street Party, commemorating the Queen's seventieth year on the throne.[4] Lee was absent from the performance due to illness.[5]
