TIFFANY
Tiffany is the debut studio album by American recording pop singer Tiffany. To support the album and create a buzz for herself, Tiffany’s tour included the singer performing in shopping malls across the United States. 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 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” was also a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and her first on the Adult Contemporary chart. 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. (More from Wikipedia)
Other novel platforms have been discovered for new musicians to get the word out. Tiffany had a major hit song in 1987 with “I Think We’re Alone Now” (off her debut album Tiffany), a cover of the Tommy James and the Shondells hit “I Think We’re Alone Now” from 20 years earlier. Tiffany promoted the single by performing live in regional shopping centers throughout the country during what she called “The Beautiful You: Celebrating The Good Life Shopping Mall Tour ’87”.
