Step By Step

Step by Step is the fourth studio album by American boy band New Kids on the Block, released in June 1990 via Columbia Records. The album followed the group's previous success with Hangin' Tough and marked an effort to maintain and expand their popularity through a mix of pop, dance, and ballad-oriented tracks. It was accompanied by a significant marketing campaign and supported by a worldwide tour. The album was a commercial success, debuting at number one on both the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart. It produced several singles, including the title track "Step by Step", which topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks. The group also released a concert video under the same name, Step by Step, to further promote the album. Despite its commercial performance, the album received mixed critical reception. While some reviewers acknowledged its production value and appeal to teen audiences, others criticized the album for its formulaic content and perceived lack of innovation. The group's marketing approach and image were also topics of discussion among critics.
