Anything Is Possible is the third album by Debbie Gibson, released on November 20, 1990, under the Atlantic Records label.

Contents

By late 1990 she was 20 years old and the late-1980s teen pop wave was near its end. Hence the album was Gibson's first album to not reach the Top 10 on the Billboard 200 Albums chart, peaking at #41 in the United States and sold much less than her previous two albums, Out of the Blue and Electric Youth, which both 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. In Japan, the album reached #5 on the charts, achieving Gold status, thus becoming her most successful album in Japan. The album was released in March 1991 in the UK, but there it stalled at #69.
