Steptacular

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. 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.

On 31 October 1999, the album debuted at number one in the United Kingdom and remained for three consecutive weeks.{{cite web|title=Official Albums Chart Top 100 31 October 1999 – 6 November 1999|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart/19991106/7502|website=Official Charts Company (UK)|accessdate=13 March 2017}}{{cite web|title=Official Albums Chart Top 100 7 November 1999 – 13 November 1999|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart/19991113/7502|website=Official Charts Company (UK)|accessdate=13 March 2017}}{{cite web|title=Official Albums Chart Top 100 14 November 1999 – 20 November 1999|url=http://www.officialcharts.com/charts/albums-chart/19991120/7502|website=Official Charts Company (UK)|accessdate=13 March 2017}} The album sold 84,000 units in its first week—only 1,000 copies ahead of Westlife's debut album, Westlife, beating the Irish boy band.
