Paula Abdul to release greatest hits on May 8

Paula AbdulAre you ready for a pop snack? You're in luck because Paula Abdul - Greatest Hits: Straight Up! will be released on May 8, 2007.

The 18-track collection includes all six of Paula's #1 chart-toppers, including: "Forever Your Girl," "Opposites Attract," "Cold Hearted," and "Rush, Rush."

You kiddies might not know this, but back in the old days (the golden years of MTV), long before Paula became the weeping, slurring, iconic Idol judge, she was a chart-topping performer who sold over 30 million records. She also won a Grammy, along with seven MTV Awards, two Emmy Awards, two People's Choice Awards, and two Kids Choice Awards. Not bad for an ex-cheerleader.

Paula proves that you don't have to win American Idol or have the "best voice in the world" to sell a lot of albums.

I can't wait to get it. I remembered that Virgin Records released a greatest hits album in 2000, but that one had 16 songs. This new one may have 18 different songs. I feel that this will do quite well since she's so visible on American Idol. And I LOVED those songs! I remember when Paula Abdul's 1st album came out in 1988, but hardly anyone knew about it. It took Straight Up and most of 1989 for that album to explode in the millions! Even though she made 3 albums, she made quite an impact in music with her singles, videos and concerts. I loved Spellbound too and the 3rd one was also good.
