If you were alive and had a radio in 1998, chances are you heard Jennifer Paige's one and only hit "Crush" at least five times. The completely inoffensive soft-rock track was a huge hit, peaking at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song's ascent on the charts was pretty dramatic: Almost immediately after Paige, then 25, recorded the song, her producer gave a copy to Los Angeles radio station KIIS-FM. "Crush" eventually became the station's most requested song, and it wasn't too long before other radio stations added it to their daily rotations. Paige scored her major record label deal after the song took off, inking a contract with Hollywood Records. Unfortunately, none of her album's subsequent singles gained much traction—at least not in the United States, where she never charted on the Hot 100 again.
