The Party is the eponymous debut album by the band of the same name. It was the first full-length release on Hollywood Records, which was released August 1990. The Party worked with the industry's top writers and producers at the time, such as Stephen Bray, Jellybean Benitez, Andre Cymone, and Deborah Gibson.

The album produced two U.S. charting singles: "That's Why" reached #55 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #52 on Cash Box. Its follow-up, "Summer Vacation," reached #86 after having peaked a year earlier at #72 in the summer of 1990 as an advance single.[Joel Whitburn's Top Pop Singles 1955-2002]
