I wanted "Mambo #5" but didn't want to buy the Lou Bega CD. I wanted "Livin' La Vida Loca" but didn't want to buy the Ricky Martin CD. I wanted "No Scrubs" but didn't want to buy the TLC CD. Yadda yadda yadda. This is a decent sampler of some of 1999's more popular songs that will save you from having to buy cds you don't want.

This CD gives you a little taste of several different styles of music. I love it! It gives you the chance to expand your music tastes a little at a time. Even though I normally enjoy a milder rock style, I can get into Kid Rock and Santana with no problem here. Susan Tedeschi is a great new talent and Lou Bega has me singing along, too. This CD will have great appeal to people of all ages.

It gets 5 stars for Santana, Macy Gray, Susan Tedeschi, Marc Anthony, Andrea Bocelli and Sting. And maybe Kid Rock...I'm still out on that one. But the others. Oh boy. BSB's, Ricky, Christina, and Britney. Soooo overplayed and for the most part, so shallow and manufactured. Do they really deserve a Grammy nomination? I think not. When I think of all the really fantastic groups and artists out there, who, because they don't have the big bucks and big companies behind them, get little or no recognition. Instead we get manufactured artists who can only "sing", dance and look good. I know I will probably end up with a million non-helpful votes for my views, but that's ok. But it just seems to me, that over the last couple of years or so, songs are winning Grammys or getting nominations based on their radio popularity and teen fan base, rather than their true musical merit. And it is sad.

Are you a D.J.? Do you like PoP Music? Have you ever wanted any songs from the top Artists and you don't feel like stooping to actually BUYING any of their Cds? This CD has some of the most popular music of 2000. These are actually some of the best picks from each of these artists. Buy this instead.

This cd is a very good buy. Every hit song or artist that you can think of. My favorites are "No Scrubs" and "Mambo #5".

This cd is a great buy. It has so many different artists that at least one song will satisfy you. Myself, I love "No Scrubs" by TLC, and "Mambo #5" by Lou Bega. Great listening!

Owning the 1999 CD, I was looking forward to this one; but was rather disappointed finding it all little pop tunes, that were majorly overplayed. Who the hell is Susan Tedechi? She ain't that great. BSB, Britney, Christina Aquilera, Ricky Martin, Mark Anthony. It was sap 2000, rather than Grammy's 2000. Why have a CD, that is all tunes that are soooooooooooooooooo overplayed, you can pick out the tunes on the piano, just from radio plays? There are a few interesting gems; Macy Gray's and Sting's underplayed tracks, Andrea Bocelli and Santana's classics also liven up this cd.

Some of the tracks on this CD are truly memorable and a worthy addition to any collection. I am referring to Smooth by Santana, La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin and Sogno by the great Bocelli. Some of the other tracks such as Christine's "Genie" and Brittany and Backstreet Boys are not objectionable, but not great either. I quickly skip over the truly horrible tracks. Who cares about Mambo #5? Kid Rock is barely tolerable and so are a few other unnotables. Overall it is an uneven compendium of songs. Buy it used like I did, and skip the stinkers.

I got this in the bargin bin at a local store, and was pleasantly surprised!! The amount of excellent songs on here was a bargin in itself, Im just glad that I spotted it before someone else got it.

There was only four songs on this CD that I didnt like, but as for the rest, Ive happily played them over and over again, simply wonderful. Given the amount of money you would have to pay for the singles of this and that song, has definately made this CD economically and musically sound!!!

If you come across this song mix of goodies then GET IT!! you wont regret this purchase, Im sure you will get hours of enjoyment like I did!!!

I have bought this CD three times; it's been stolen out of my car by parking attendants previously. Now I have it on my IPOD and problems were solved.
