As we approach the 22nd anniversary of this album, it felt like high time it had its own topic!
Steptacular was hugely successful, entering at #1 in the UK and spending four weeks on top of the charts. Its first week sales of over 111,000 copies grew to a total of almost 1,300,000 as of 2017. The album is notable for being Steps' only studio album to top the chart. It includes the #1 single Tragedy (which was released during the debut album era), while every other single taken from Steptacular made the Top 5. A huge era that really solidified Steps as one of the biggest pop acts at the term of the millennium. ~~~~~~ I was 11 years old at the time of this album's release. I remember I so excited for it, to the extent that I asked my parents if they could let me have it before Christmas... because I didn't think I could wait weeks for it! So my mum bought the CD for me, and it ended up being the version with the Steps logo in a foil/shiny material, which I was happy about! I played this album so much, I was very obsessed. I'm sure this is not typical for most fans, but one of my major faves on this album was Make It Easy on Me! I played that one over and over. I'm sure Lisa would be happy about that! I think it's interesting how well this album performed, considering that it came two weeks after the release of After the Love Has Gone - which wasn't exactly huge for them in comparison to their previous singles. Though that single must have done its job to enable the album to be a #1 with huge first week sales? I suppose the fact that Steptacular includes Tragedy was a big selling point too? I'm glad this was a #1 because it provided them with a 90s #1 album, and as I mentioned earlier, their only studio #1 album to date. |

It's a great album but I always preferred step one byt that's not to take away from steptacular as it's a great album that was hugely successful. It's my least fave album cover from them though.

-I remember being very excited with the release and grabbed a copy as soon the album was out.
-It’s not my favorite studio album overall. Some of the album tracks are a bit ‘meh’. Some great single releases though, especially DSOB  -I also remember being annoyed at the fact they got really big in the UK but lost steam everywhere else. Too much focus in breaking the States?
