Hits 58 (2004) Retail CD
Music > Collections > Hits 58 (2004) Retail CD
added on February 10, 2007, at 15:21 by Madasawasp| The good news about this collection is that only five tracks have already appeared on the rival "Now 57" issued at Easter. The bad news, for mainstream listeners, is that those five are just about the best tracks on it. The rest are either third or fourth choice releases off last year's albums (eg by Beyonce, Dido, Christina, Darkness), or decidely second division pop and dance tracks that, if they made the chart at all, have long since sunk without trace; at the time of writing only six in all are listed in the Top 40.Of course the quality of material in the singles charts over the last three months has left a lot to be desired, and I suppose therefore this compilation reflects this quite well. Considering it costs little more than three full-price singles it may well still be a worthwhile purchase, but it's not the best that the Sony/BMG/Warner triumvirate have ever come up with. | |
