The Now series is known for crossing the boundaries of record labels in its attempt to provide definitive collections of hits -- usually from contemporary hits, but also of different eras and styles from the past (at least in its U.K. incarnation). Thankfully, the double-disc, 36-track collection Now That's What I Call Christmas! lives up to the ...
It's always a sign that a group is hot if they release a holiday album mere months after their debut. That's the case with *NSYNC. Their debut was released in America in late March, and in early December, Home for Christmas hit the shelves. Much of the album is devoted to newer material, with only a handful of songs qualifying as standards: "The ...
It may have taken a long time for the Now That's What I Call Music! series to cross the ocean from the U.K. to the U.S., but it was worth the wait, since no other compilations offer such accurate portraits of pop radio -- it's a Polaroid, really, of a particular, brief moment of time. In the case of Now, Vol. 5, it's a Polaroid of the summer of ...
Prior to the release of their second album, *NSYNC split from their manager in a bitter dispute and signed with Jive, the kings of teen pop. For *NSYNC, the move provided them with an opportunity to, in the immortal words of George W. Bush, "define themselves," to prove that they were an independent unit -- hence the title No Strings Attached. To ...
Hard to believe that *NSYNC released a mere three proper albums over the course of a mere three years in their reign as one of the two most-popular boy bands in the great teen pop boom at the turn of the millennium. Given their constant presence on the charts, on MTV, on the airwaves and on magazine covers, it seems like their time in the ...
Totally Hits, Vol. 2 collects more chart-topping singles, including Santana's "Maria Maria," Whitney Houston's "My Love Is Your Love," TLC's "Unpretty," Sugar Ray's "Falls Apart," and Sarah McLachlan's "I Will Remember You." Songs from Missy Elliot, LFO, 'N Sync, Lou Bega, and Christina Aguilera complete this entertaining but somewhat scattered ...
Riding the wave of post-Spice Girls dance-pop groups and sounding suspiciously like a low-rent, American Take That, the Orlando, FL-based *NSYNC came bursting out of roller rinks across the U.S. in the spring of 1998 with their eponymous debut. The group hired a number of producers, including the Backstreet Boys' Kristian Lundin as well as Denniz ...
At the same time that Epic Records released the sixth volume of the American edition of the various artists hits series, Now That's What I Call Music!, Billboard was reporting that sales of singles were down 42.8% from the previous year. Sales of the previous releases in the Now series were increasing, according to the press release accompanying ...
The seventh volume of the U.S. version of the Now That's What I Call Music! series continues to demonstrate how rock bands were less of a factor on the pop charts during the late '90s and early 2000s. Just like the sixth volume, the rock picks -- Lifehouse's "Hanging by a Moment," Aerosmith's "Jaded," Evan & Jaron's "From My Head to My Heart," ...
*NSYNC is nothing if not literal. Last time around, they freed themselves from their manager and titled the record No Strings Attached. This time around, after that album moved millions of copies, they've released an album called Celebrity, none too subtly drawing attention to the fact that they're stars. That's right -- this is a trials-n ...
MTV Party to Go 2000 blends original versions and remixes of mostly dance-pop and R&B-pop hit singles, with a heavy -- almost exclusive -- concentration on the new breed of late-'90s teen idols (Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, 'N Sync, Joey McIntyre, Monica, Aaliyah, Jennifer Love Hewitt, 98 Degrees, etc.; there's even a dance remix of Leann ...
YM Hot Tracks collects tracks from youth oriented artists like the Backstreet Boys, Jordan Knight, N Sync, 98 Degrees, Mulberry Lane, Billie, Boyzone, Steps, Sixpence None The Richer, The Moffats and Shanice. The CD also features 2 unreleased tracks that can only be played through a special Internet site. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
The Power of Pop collects 16 contemporary pop hits from artists like Billie, Steps, Five, and Imajin. The Backstreet Boys' "Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)," 'N Sync's "Best of My Life," Britney Spears' "Thinkin' About You," and Christina Aguilera's "Too Beautiful for Words" are some of the collection's standout tracks. Hanson's "Thinking of ...
Benefiting the T.J. Martell Foundation (which helps fund the fights against cancer, AIDS, and leukemia), Loaded With Hits is a two-disc collection of late-'90s pop/rock, ranging from dance-pop to urban R&B (and a bit of hip-hop) to adult/mainstream alternative rock. Present are the original versions of hits by artists like Mariah Carey, Christina ...
Totally Hits collects an array of totally contemporary chart-toppers from artists like TLC, Monica, Sugar Ray, and 'N Sync. Tracks from Madonna, Barenaked Ladies, Third Eye Blind, Whitney Houston, Brandy, and Faith Hill complete this concise look at pop hits of the late '90s. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
MTV's TRL Christmas delivers just what the title promises: some of the network's most popular artists performing holiday favorites and originals, ranging from the slick teen-pop of 'N Sync's "I Don't Wanna Spend One More Christmas Without You" to Simple Plan's playful, punk-poppy "My Christmas List" to Angela Via's delicate-as-a-snowflake ...
This Australian import is a must-have for any *NSync fan. "Gone," one of the band's classic ballads from 2001's Celebrity, is featured here. A Spanish version of the song is an added bonus. ~ MacKenzie Wilson, All Music Guide
