Tiffany is the debut studio album by American recording pop singer Tiffany. Prior to signing a recording contract with MCA records in 1987, Tiffany Darwish had begun working with manager/producerGeorge Tobin several years earlier, possibly with some of the tracks recorded as early when she was 12 years old. Initially, 'Danny' was her first single released from her self-titled studio album; however the single failed to chart. To support the album and create a buzz for herself, Tiffany embarked on a shopping mall tour entitled “The Beautiful You: Celebrating the Good Life Shopping Mall Tour ‘87”. Tiffany's tour included the singer performing in shopping malls across the United States; at first to small audiences but by the end to much larger crowds as her popularity grew.[4]
As her popularity grew during her tour radio stations began to play Tiffany's cover version of Tommy James & the Shondells hit 'I Think We're Alone Now'. The song was quickly released as the album's second single; Darwish's cover of 'I Think We’re Alone Now' became the singer's first No. 1 hit both in the United States and United Kingdom. The album's follow-up single 'Could've Been' became the singer's second No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and her first on the Adult Contemporary chart. With the help of those two singles, the album climbed to No. 1 on Billboard’s Top Pop Albums chart; replacing Michael Jackson’s Bad. At the age of 16 years, Tiffany became the youngest female artist to earn a No.1 album and also the youngest to have two back-to-back No.1 singles. Tiffany’s rendition of the Beatles’ 'I Saw Her Standing There' retitled 'I Saw Him Standing There' provided a final hit from the album. The album was certified quadruple platinum by Recording Industry Association of America.[5]
The English equivalent for the term yakuza is, meaning an individual involved in a -like criminal organization. Real yakuza play yakuza.
The album's final single, 'Feelings of Forever' failed to reprise the success of Tiffany's three previous singles.
