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, all hitting the UK top 5, making Steptacular the first album to contain 6 consecutive UK top 5 hits. 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", "Make It Easy On Me" originally recorded by Sybil and "Deeper Shade of Blue" originally recorded by Tina Cousins. The album also includes the group's version of Tragedy, which was originally recorded for the Bee Gees tribute album "Gotta Get A Message To You", which was released shortly after Step One.
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 boy band. 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.
