Paula Abdul Albums Ranked
In the wake of Madonna’s success, many dance-pop divas filled the charts, but out of them all, Paula Abdul was the only one who sustained a career. The former L.A. Lakers cheerleader and choreographer scored her first hit in 1989, when “Straight Up” shot to Billboard’s number one spot, becoming the first of four U.S. chart-toppers from her 1988 debut, Forever Your Girl; the others were “Forever Your Girl,” “Cold Hearted,” and “Opposites Attract,” each earning a gold certification from the RIAA. This success laid the groundwork for her second act as a judge on American Idol, the televised singing competition that began in 2002 and kept Abdul in the spotlight throughout the decade. Abdul began to make inroads in pop music when she was hired as an assistant dance director on the Jacksons’ Victory tour, which led to a job choreographing Janet Jackson’s videos for Control. Abdul’s work on Jackson’s videos helped make the album a hit, making her a sought-after choreographer. After working on The Tracy Ullman Show and videos for ZZ Top, Duran Duran, and the Pointer Sisters, Abdul began a recording career, releasing her debut album, Forever Your Girl, in 1988. Here are all of Paula Abdul albums ranked.

4. Shut Up And Dance
“I am not a very big on songs be remixed and put into different style of music however this being said: this was an interesting remix album done by Paula. I was really amazed how this album was put together. Thumbs up for bein a brave gal. There is not a favorite on this album.”
3. Head Over Heels
“Paula trailed the music scene with this album, and due to bad promotion on Virgin Record’s part, the album slowly just faded away. Paula has since then taken up an acting career and continued what she does best; choreography and dancing. But, if you ask me, this is her best work. The Pop Diva displays numerous forms of styles of music and gives us a more revealing, sexier image that we’re used to. But all-in-all, it’s obvious that Paula has improved a lot with her vocal skills and show off some funky dance tracks!”
2. Spellbound
“I was really impressed with Spellbound Paula Abdul”s second album. Vibeology is my favourite track its superb but there are many other decent tracks inc: Rush rush, rock house, my foolish heart, blowing kisses in the wind and alright tonight. She mixes some fabulously groovy dance tracks with some delightful slower songs.”
1. Forever Your Girl
“Forever Your Girl is a classic 80’s pop/dance album everyone should have in their collection. Abdul was the first female artist in history to have four songs hit #1 on the billboard charts from a debut album. There’s lots of fun music on this album “Straight Up” “Cold Hearted” “Forever Your Girl” “Opposites Attract” and “The Way That You Love Me” are just a few great songs you will find on this album – Also recommended is Paula Abdul’s Greatest Hits where you can find the radio versions of all these songs”
