... There are still some good songs on this CD, ...

"Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!)" - Blu Cantrell. This song was very overplayed last summer, but it's still a good R&B song. I like the beat and Blu's voice; this song has a very powerful message. 4/5

"Peaches And Cream" - 112. Never really liked this song. It's okay, but I'm not really into 112. Another very overplayed song. 1/5

"Fallin'" (Remix featuring Busta Rhymes) - Alicia Keys. The original was so much better, even though it got very overplayed. I don't know why they had to use a remix, because it just ruined the song. 0/5 (for the Busta Rhymes remix) 4/5 (for the original version)

"Get UR Freak On" - Missy Elliott. Much better than the remix with Nelly Furtado. I do like rap music, but I'm not a hardcore rap fan. This is still an okay song though...I really like the beat of it. 3/5

"Bad Boy For Life" - P. Diddy, Black Rob & Mark Curry. Don't care for this song. I like P. Diddy, but this is not his best song. I usually skip this track. 1/5

"This Is Me" (Remix featuring Kain) - Dream. Dumb remix, but I like the original. Another track on this CD that I usually skip. 0/5 (for the remix) and 5/5 (for the original version)

"U Remind Me" - Usher. I love this R&B song! Usher is awesome, and this is one of his best songs yet. Never gets old, even though they totally overplayed it. 5/5

"All Or Nothing" - O-Town. Another song that I love. O-Town is awesome, despite that they are a Boy Band. One of my favorites, a beautiful love ballad. 5/5

"Here's To The Night" - Eve 6. An okay Rock ballad. This is a good last-song-of-the-night song for a school dance or Prom. It kind of got overplayed and got boring after a while. 4/5

"Follow Me" - Uncle Kracker. Definitely an overplayed song! I like the beat, but it's very overplayed and kind of tiring to listen to. 3/5

"Every Other Time" - LFO. Great Pop song! Yes, this is a Pop song. Yes, LFO is a Boy Band. But I gotta admit that I love this song! 5/5

"When It's Over" - Sugar Ray. "Answer The Phone" is a better song, but this is still pretty good. 4/5

"I Wanna Be Bad" - Willa Ford. I don't like Willa Ford too much, but I've gotta admit this is a catchy song. One of the best Pop songs on this CD. 5/5

"I Do!!" - Toya. A great R&B song perfect for clubs and for dancing. This was not an overplayed song, so it hasn't gotten old yet. 5/5

"So Fresh, So Clean" - OutKast. I was never a huge fan of OutKast, but I guess this rap song is okay. Original, most definitely...but I have no idea what it's supposed to be about. 2/5

"What's Your Fantasy?" (featuring Shawna) - Ludrcris. Nasty lyrics, but catchy song. I don't know why I like this song, but I do. It's hands down, a rap song. And definitely not for children. I guess I really like the beat of the song. 3/5

"Fill Me In" - Craig David. Overplayed R&B song, but still a good one. I like "7 Days" and his new single, "Walking Away" more than this one, but this is a good song. 4/5

"Thank You" - Dido. Great soft Pop song! I love the beat and lyrics and Dido has a good voice. 5/5

TOTALLY HITS 2001 was a good CD, ... If you like a variety in your music tastes, then I recommend TOTALLY HITS 2001. Buy it today, ... This was a great CD!

Totally Hits 2001 is a good compilation cd to bring to a party. Most the songs have good beats to get your groove on to. Here's a rated list of the songs on the album:

1.Blu Cantrell- Hit 'em Up Style (Oops) *4/5 When I first heard this song, I didn't like it. But it's grown on me. It has a catchy chorus and a good beat.

2. 112- Peaches & Cream *4/5 This song has an awesome, funky, hip-hop beat, but the lyrics are stupid.

3. Missy Elliot- Get Ur Freak On *5/5 This song rocks! It has a such a good beat to dance to. This is proabably one of my favorites on the cd.

4. Alicia Keys- Fallin' (remix) FEATURING BUST RHYMES *2/5 Folks, the original version was WAY better. I normally skip this song.

5. P. Diddy, Black Rob & Mark Curry- Bad Boy For Life *3/5
This song is ok... I don't like rap that much but this song i ok. Typical rap song.

6. Dream- This Is Me *2/5 Again I say, listen to the original version. It is much better.

7. Usher- U Remind Me *5/5 This is a great r&b song that will get stuck in your head for a long time, "u remind me of a girl..."

8. O-Town- All or Nothing *3/5 This song is ok. I not really into the whole *Nsync or Backstreet scene, but I know a lot of people that do. This is a song for the teen girls. This song isn't for me.

9. Eve 6- Here's to the Night *3/5 Umm..this is a soft rock song. It's kinda boring though. I normally skip over it.

10. Uncle Kracker- Follow Me *1/5 Oh my gosh, I am soo sick of this song I could scream my head off. They play it WAY too much on the radio, and it's a very annoying song. Skip this one!

11. LFO- Every Other Time *3/5 This is another one of those poppy boy band songs. Dumb song. LFO tries to act sorta like rappers, but they fail each time.

12. Sugar Ray- When It's Over *4/5 This is a good rock song, perfromed by Mark McGrath, just don't play it too much, or it will get boring and annoying.

13. Willa Ford- I Wanna Be Bad *5/5 This is one of the few pop songs that I thoroughly enjoyed. This song has such an awesome beat, you'll wanna get up and start dancing! One of my favoriteson the album.

14. Toya- I Do!! *4/5 This song is another good r&b song that has a good beat. But not the best on the cd.

15. Outkast- So Fresh, So Clean *2/5 I dont know about you, but I personally don't like Outkast. I think they are stupid and annoying, but I know a lot of people like this song, but it's not for me.

16. Ludacris- What's Your Fantasy FEATURING SHAWNA *4/5 This rap song will get stuck in your head. It has a very hip beat, but some of the lyrics I wouldn't recommend to younger children.

17. Craig David- Fill Me In *3/5 This song is ok. It's another typical r&b song. I like "7 Days" better.

18. Dido- Thank You *4/5 This is a great song to end this cd to. A nice mellow song that will saranate you with Dido's pretty, yet soft voice.

These are what I think of the songs on Totally Hits 2001. I hope this helps you! Some of the songs are good, but some are pretty bad. I recommend this cd to those who like pop/hip-hop. Hope this helps!

woooooooooooooo woooooooooooooooooo wooooooooooooooooooo!
this is a great cd 4 rap luvers. i personaly use it as my bath cd.

This cd is an excillent cd for people who like up to date music, It has a whole lot of great songs but some of them are songs that no one likes. They just put them on for the few people who do like them ands it ruins the backround of the cd.

This new compilation album is really really good and although it was bit of a wait from the previous volume (Totally Hits 3 was released last november), it does a decent job and was cunningly released between volumes of Now! to maximise sales and fill the gap. The time gap from the last volume hurts this as many great songs are missing including matchbox twenty's If You're Gone and Ms Jackson by Outkast but what is on the CD is great and most were fairly large Hot 100 hits including Uncle Kracker's Follow Me and Blu Cantrell. There is a good mix of music from rap (Outkast, Puff Daddy) to some great r&B (blu cantrell and the great Craig David) as well as a good mixture of some rock (eve 6 and sugar ray) to satisfy everybody's tastes and highlight the diversity of the Hot 100 at the moment. However, possibly the biggest let down is the remix of Fallin' which is no where near as good as the original but this is a minor glitch in quite a great compilation album which is a worthy buy until Now 8 comes out to give some more chart hits. Anyway roll on Totally Hits 2002 or whatver they'll call it

I know these songs won't appear in Now 8 (that is if they are going to continue). Not to say that the "Now" series are no good, but lately (and it started with Vol. 6) the selection of music hasn't been too wide. I mean, how many times has Britney Spears and N' Sync appeared in the Now series? They're good songs, but Now compilers have to make it into a creative pick. This album really outdone itself from the previous two albums. At first I thought these were low-grade knockoffs of NOW. Until the 2K1 version came out, it totally gotten better. I mean, the first half of the songs on its list are still in the Billboard top 40! Some of the songs are a bit old but the selection is way better than Now 7. NOW is starting to have a serious rivalry here. The best song compilation yet!

I remember seeing the ad for "Totally Hits 2001" on television.
Its everything you would want in a CD. It has your rap,slow,more up-beat, and even some remixes. It has things the "NOW" series wont include; such as "Get Ur Freak On", Ect.
Which makes "Totally Hits 2001" the #1 "mix" CD ever!!!

I bought this CD when it was released and I absolutely adore it. It has not left my CD player and I listen to it at work constantly. I only have a problem with a few of the songs: Ludacris' song "What's Your Fantasy", although good, is not now a hit (it was a hit back in January, so it is too outdated for this compilation) and Alicia Key's "Fallin'" remix is, bluntly,
the worst remix I have EVER heard. I hate this remix, and when I listen to it, I always wonder why the far superior original is not on instead. Other than that, this is better than anything on the NOW series because the censors, although present, seem a little more lax (NOW producers, take note). There are also songs on there that do not NEED the censors. The best of these songs include "Hit 'Em Up Style (Oops!)" by Blu Cantrell, "So Fresh, So Clean" by OutKast, and "This Is Me" by Dream (yes, it is a remix, but this one is actually pretty good). Maybe if a "Totally Hits 2002" is released, it will be just like this one. It really can't be much better, because they FINALLY got it right!

I liked this cd. No wait.... LOVED IT!
Heres is the best songs:
16. What's your fantasy - Ludacris f/ Shawna (10/10)
This is a great song. I love it. Ludacris is bye far my fave rapper. 5. Bad boy for life - P.Diddy and The bad boy family (9.5/10) Love the beat. Cool song. 15.So fresh so clean - outkast
(8/10) Cool catchy song. Gotta' love it.
