Jamie Garrett’s First Celebrity Crush Went to Number 1 on This Date in 1989
Growing up, my first real celebrity crush was Debbie Gibson. It was an MTV crush, and on this date in 1989 she ruled the charts with the #1 single in the country.
I wasn't in love with the mall-touring Debbie Gibson. I appreciated and liked the more mature Debbie Gibson when her 2nd album came out in late '88. On that album, Out of the Blue, came Debbie's 2nd #1 single, "Lost in Your Eyes". It was also Debbie's most successful single, spending a total of three weeks at #1.
What I truly enjoyed about looking back at my first love (don't tell my wife) was finding out an acoustic Filipino band covered the song.
