#1 of 2020

Dear Poptastic Readers,

 

In case you are just joining us, we have been counting down our Top 100 Songs of 2020. And today is our #1 choice …

 

#1 in our Top 100 Songs of 2020: “Something In Your Eyes” by Steps. Click on the title of the song to see what we originally said about it.

 


Written by: Erik Bernholm, Henrik Sethsson, and Thomas G:son

Produced by: Barry Stone and Julian Gingell

 

Why: This remake of Jenny Silver's 2011 Melodifestivalen entry is ACE! It is so very ABBA, and yet, it is so very Steps. The vocal acrobats of Claire, Faye, and Lisa are just amazing from the low registers to high very quickly, plus key changes. Although the male singers Lee and H don't have any solo lines here, they do a great job of backing vocals and manage not to get lost in the mix.

 

Watch: The music video is also very Steps ... time to memorize these dance moves ...
