Jessica Simpson's dream to be on the radio remained.Jessica's independent album managed to work its way to Tommy Mottola's desk, then President of Columbia Records. He was won over by her "pure heart" and strong voice. Jessica's singing career with Columbia would take her all over the world many times over and include three major albums reaching Gold, Platinum, and double Platinum.

Jessica Simpson released her first single, “I Wanna Love You Forever”, which peaked at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1999, and reached the top ten in ten countries.When Jessica Simpson first came out she was so hot. Then she got with Nick and they had that stupid show and the only thing dumber than the show was her. I felt so bad for Nick, but I still felt that even though she was dumb, he was lucky because she still was hot.
