"Straight Up" became Abdul's first top-40 hit in the United States, eventually topping the Billboard Hot 100 in February 1989. The single brought Abdul widespread public attention and remains her biggest international hit to date, reaching the top 10 in at least 16 countries. The song was also included in her six compilation albums, released between 1998 and 2013.
Thanks from me and the Social-lites

Joyce, your rendition of Straight Up was terrific. Not only did you handle the vocals beautifully, but you also nailed the rhythmic ad libs that really make this song. Then to top it off with such a polished mix is admirable on both counts.
