'''''Boomania''''' is the debut album by the British singer Betty Boo, released on 10 September 1990. King John (a duo comprising Rex Brough and John Coxon) produced most of the songs on the album; Coxon continued to collaborate with Betty Boo on her second album, ''GRRR! It's Betty Boo'' in 1992.
In 1999, the album was reissued as '''''Doin' the Do: The Best of Betty Boo'''''. This edition consists of all the tracks from ''Boomania'' in a slightly different order, alongside extended versions of two of its singles, a remix, and a megamix, all of which were included on a later reissue of the original album by Cherry Pop Records. Its cover art features a mirrored version of the photo from the front of ''Boomania''.
