Anything Is Possible is the third album by Debbie Gibson, released on November 20, 1990, under the Atlantic Records label.
At the time of the album's release in late 1990, Gibson was 20 years old and the late-1980s teen pop wave was near its end. The album was Gibson's first to not reach the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, peaking at #41 in the United States. It made the top 40 of the Cashbox albums chart for one week, peaking at #38 on December 22nd 1990 before descending down the chart. It sold many fewer copies than her previous two albums, Out of the Blue and Electric Youth, both of which had gone multi-platinum.
The album was still a minor success for Gibson and eventually was certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America.[2] In Japan, the album became Gibson's second most successful, reaching #5 and achieving Gold status. The album was released in March 1991 in the United Kingdom but stalled at #69.
The album's title single reached the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100 chart.
