Point 1: As of the release of "Backstreet Boys:The Hits -Chapter One" they'd been together for eight years. In case you were curious, they still haven't broken up, so now it's been eleven.

Point 2: Th release of the "greatest hits" compilation was a decision by management to capitalize on Nick Carter's solo release. The group was not happy with this. Ergo, probably not their idea.


And that's my

I think En Vogue hasn't enough to fill a GH!

Lennon said:

Britney's got a good 15 under her belt.

Now Flock of Seagulls and CeCe Peniston, they were really pushing it.

what is even worse is people who have more than one greatest hits package.

eventhough i love Kylie, how many can she have?

dawntreader said:

Better yet, how many remix albums? And alternate versions of the same album?

GangstaFam said:

true! i kinda think Björk is having too many different versions of her music as well. like her last album that came out in 5 different shapes or sumthin'.

dawntreader said:

Huh? I didn't hear about that.

GangstaFam said:

a dvd, a hybrid cd, a cd. well three then.

dawntreader said:

Yeah, well everyone's doing that these days.

GangstaFam said:

well i am threadjacking for a second. i am going to see KD Lang wednesday! she never had a greatest hits !

dawntreader said:

lucky bitch! I expect a full report.

i will give you one not so lucky bitch.

Okay, here's a question. Many artists have collections without ever being super popular. They're more for giving an introduction to an artist with a lot of importance, but not necessarily a lot of mainstream attention. Things like Singles packages or Anthologies for bands like The Cure or Devo or something like that. Do you think that's cool? Is it mostly in the way they name their collection? i.e. Bjork calling hers a "Greatest Hits".

GangstaFam said:

good question. i am not sure. Björk has a lot of mainstream attention, so not in her case. well, i guess you always have the freedom to choose not to buy them.

i like the way Joni releases greatest hits. in a new mature version, with an orchestra, or as themed packages like social songs etc.

Lennon said:

THe Vengaboys' first album was called "The Party Album"

Are you sure you dont mean the Boomtang Boys? Their first album was called "Greatest Hits"

jayaredee said:

i have an album called GREATEST HITS! PART 1, which i think is a re-edition of their first one.

their second one is called THE PLATINUM ALBUM.

dawntreader said:

Ok well i didn't know that. I have both of their albums.

Then they disappeared.

unfortunately yes.

Denise (the disco girl) married a extremely cute guy and tried to pursue a solo career with a cover of STRAIGHT UP but failed.

dawntreader said:

Kim did all the singing anyways, Denise did more backup. And Roy and Yorik(sp) were literally useless, except for the videos.

jayaredee said:

true. i liked that cowboy.
