25 Years Ago in the Nineties: Paula Abdul (Duet With The Wild Pair) “Opposites Attract”

Singer and choreographer Paula Abdul experienced an incredibly successful year between early 1989 and early 1990, becoming famous as a musical recording artist with five straight Top 5 hits on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, four of which reached number one. Exactly 25 years ago, the last of those five singles — and the fourth number one single — “Opposites Attract,” which also featured the vocal duo the Wild Pair, was in the middle of its third week of a three-week run at the top.
