Paper Roses is the debut studio album by American country music singer Marie Osmond. It was released in 1973 on MGM Records and entered the Billboard Album chart on September 22, where it reached No. 59.[2] It was the first of three MGM/Kolob[3] albums Osmond would record as solo artist.
The album's name came from its title track, "Paper Roses," a cover of an Anita Bryant Top 10 hit from 1960. Osmond's version reached #1 on the Billboard Country Chart[4] and #5 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1973.[5] Osmond became the first female country singer to have a #1 hit with her debut single since Connie Smith with "Once a Day" in 1964. The album includes cover versions of hits by Sonny James ("You're the Only World I Know") and Brenda Lee ("Fool No. 1").
Paper Roses peaked at #1 on the Billboard Top Country Albums chart, #59 on the Billboard 200 and #38 on the Canadian Albums Chart.[6] The album was reviewed by Allmusic and was given 2 out of 5 stars.[7]
