3.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing and short, February 15, 2000

This review is from: Billboard Top Hits: 1990 (Audio CD)

Early editions of the Billboard Top Hits series were godsends to archivists, as they gathered a variety of really big hits from often long out of print artists on CD. But with this and the 1991 edition, released in 2000, Rhino is coasting on it's reputation with a rather pedestrian list of artists who can, by & large, be found on CD in older & better compilations. Also, is there any excuse for a 10-track CD anymore? You could easily get 18 tracks for a buck or two more. Do yourself a favor and instead go look at the UK import series called NOW. (Search for "NOW 1990") These are double-CD with close to 40 tracks, and while some weren't huge American hits, most are well known. They sell for about $30, or $0.75/track, same as for this album.

How, for example, could Rhino justify missing hits like Nothing Compares 2U or Opposites Attract?

1.0 out of 5 stars These aren't the Top 10 Songs!!!, November 14, 2002

Go to your library and look in the December issue of Billboard for the "Hot 100" year-end chart. Look at the top 10 songs. Those are NOT the same songs as presented on this CD. Rather than give us the top 10 most popular songs, we get the mediocre songs. WHAT A [...].

3.0 out of 5 stars Missing Many Top Songs., July 26, 2002

This review is from: Billboard Top Hits: 1990 (Audio CD)

This collection of 1990s top hits is missing many of the top songs of 1990 and has only ten songs. Up until the 1989 collection I used to think these were good collections of great music from every year but now I just think they are releasing bad collections. Most of these songs you can find anywhere so why buy it again?
