Steptacular

Steptacular is the second studio album by British pop group Steps, released in the United Kingdom on 25 October 1999. It entered the UK Albums Chart at number one, where it remained on the position for three weeks, selling 260,000 copies in the same time frame. "Tragedy", "Love's Got a Hold on My Heart", "After the Love Has Gone", "Say You'll Be Mine", "Deeper Shade of Blue" and "When I Said Goodbye" were released as singles. Many of the songs also appeared on the track list of the US version of their debut album Step One.

Like the group's debut album, Steptacular also contains covers, including a song originally released by female pop group Bananarama, entitled "Movin' On" and "Deeper Shade of Blue", originally recorded by Tina Cousins. Unlike in Step One, their version of the Bee Gees' "Tragedy" was recorded in this album as a main track and not a bonus track. The album also features solos from each member apart from Lee, and 4 solos from Claire and Faye together.

It entered the UK Albums Chart at number one, selling 84,000 units in its first week—only 1,000 copies ahead of Westlife's debut album, Westlife, beating the Irish boyband. Early UK copies of the album featured a holographic silver "STEPS" logo on front. It was also released in cardboard and tin boxed sets, internationally.
