Aah pop music eh? Isn't it bloomin' marvellous? The memories it gives us - of good times and bad. And where would we be without those pub conversations about how crap Hear'Say are? Pop shapes our pliable pubescent characters. On some occasions it gives us something to believe in. At the very least it gives us something to spend our paper round money on.
And how could the self-respecting pop kid not purchase this latest instalment in this long-running musical encyclopedia? They're all here you know. The good - S Club 7's 'Don't Stop Movin', Gorillaz' '19-2000' and Outkast's 'Ms Jackson'. The bad - Mis-Teeq's 'All I Want', Ronan Keating's 'Lovin' Each Day' and DJ Pied Piper's 'Do You Really Like It'. And the laughable like of Geri's 'It's Raining Men', Hear'Say's 'The Way To Your Love' and A*Teens' 'Upside Down'.
There's also smasheroonies from U2, Gabrielle, Stereophonics, Texas, Radiohead, Sisqo, Eddy Grant, Steps, Britney, Backstreet Boys and more - forty one tracks over two CDs. Now that's what I call a compilation for people who don't normally like music that much actually...
