If you weren’t around for it, you might not believe just how successful Paula Abdul was as a pop star.
Her debut album, "Forever Your Girl" in 1988, set a record for the most number-one singles from a debut album with four of them. "Straight Up," "Forever Your Girl," "Cold Hearted," and "Opposites Attract" all topped the Billboard Hot 100. Her next album, 1991’s Spellbound, had two more number ones: "Rush Rush" and "The Promise of a New Day".
And she’s remained a figure in pop culture ever since, in particular as a reality show judge and continued choreography work. But her path to stardom really took off when she became a cheerleader for an NBA team. It was at a game for this team that the Jacksons themselves discovered her and had her choreograph music videos for Janet Jackson.
