* PlayingAgainstType: Her starring role in ''Grease'' and specifically the song "You're the One That I Want" is an example, as that song was a stark departure from her previous catalog of mainly middle-of-the-road and country-tinged soft rock music. Afterward, she was able to successfully incorporate more harder rock and dance sounds into her repertory with hits like "A Little More Love," "Physical," and "Heart Attack" while shedding her country leanings but not completely abandoning her adult contemporary following.

Added DiffLines:

* BannedInChina: "Physical" was refused airplay by some radio stations due to its sexual themes (including several in Utah), and censored by others. Thus, despite its 10-week stay at #1 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 due to massive single sales, the song stopped at #2 on the airplay-only chart of ''Radio and Records'' magazine.
