4.0 out of 5 stars Good review of first half of year, June 25, 2002

This review is from: Totally Hits 2002 (Audio CD)

Totally Hits 2002 is released cunningly between volumes of the Now series to ensure bigger sales than would be otherwise. In addition to this, it features many great tracks which have reached the higher echelons of the Hot 100 this year. With different record companies compiling and licensing tracks for this series it also ensures different tracks from the rival Now series.

This latest version features top 10 hits from the likes of Pink with Get The Party Started (which appeared on Now 9 albeit in a remixed version), Tweet's Oops (Oh My) and the huge What's Luv from Fat Joe. There are some other great rap/r&b tracks from Outkast and Craig David as well as Alicia Keys with A Woman's Worth. Rock music is also well served here with Wherever You Will Go by The Calling which made the Hot 100 Top 5 and Michelle Branch's melodic Everywhere as well as other great songs from Natalie Imbruglia, Alanis Morissette and Default.

This CD features some great songs although the end of the disc is a little disappointing and goes downhill a bit but is much better than Now 9 which was released earlier in the year and is recommended to buy along with Now 9 for a more defintive collection although TH 2002 is the better of the two if you can only afford one.

3.0 out of 5 stars The Best Since the First One, February 1, 2003

By 

Aaron (Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Totally Hits 2002 (Audio CD)

The first "Totally Hits" back in 1999 was definitely the best of this series, but this one is quite good too. "Totally Hits 2002" manages quite a nice variety of hits from early 2002. Here's my low-down on the tracks:

1. What's Luv: (5/5) I am not a big rap fan by any means, but this is a kick butt song. The beat and backround music are what makes it along with Ashanti on the chorus. I just tune out Fat Joe and his gibberish.

2. Oops (Oh My): (4/5) Hmmm...not bad. But Tweet is an Aaliyah rip-off. No one can take her place.

3. Get the Party Started: (5/5) THE party anthem of 2002. The biggest hit of Pink's career. Awesome track.

4. What About Us: (5/5) Brandy's top 10 comeback single. Her "Never Say Never" work was better, but the song has a cool beat and unique chorus.

5. 7 Days: (3/5) This guy has a great voice and I like this song better than his first single, but it was overrated and overplayed.

6. Young 'n: (1/5) Blah!

7. The Whole World: (4/5) Cool and unque hip hop song. Hip hop needs more of this spice.

8. Everywhere: (4/5) Good song, but very overplayed. "All You Wanted" is better and would've been a better choice for this compilation. Still, good pop.

9. Wherever You Will Go: (3.5/5) Shocker! Another very overplayed song. Very Goo Goo Dolls-ish. Catchy chorus though. Defiitely a big one of 2002.

10. Wasting My Time: (1/5) I hated this song. It was overplayed and very annoying. Thankfully, they are a one hit wonder.

11. Youth of the Nation: (3/5) I rarely like this sort of the music, but this song is oddly appealing. Mostly, it's the chorus.

12. Hands Clean: (4/5) Good song, a moderate hit for Alanis. Cool pop/rock track.

13. Wrong Impression: (5/5) The highlight of the whole album. This song was only a minor hit missing the top 40 but it was one of the catchiest songs of the year. Fantastic chorus. This song is just as good as her first hit "Torn." WHY WASN'T IT HUGE???

14. Standing Still: (4/5) Slightly overplayed, but Jewel sounds so great on it, it can be overlooked. Nice addition.

15. We Fit Together: (2/5) It's the perverted BSB knock-offs at their most annoying. I'm a huge pop lover and the only reason i give it 2 stars is bcuz of that.

16. I Love You: (2/5) Yawn

17. A Woman's Worth: (3/5) Alicia tries to live up to her first and best song "Fallin" and doesn't exactly fal considering this song was a pretty big hit, but it's not that great.

18. Can't Fight the Moonlight: (5/5) Diane Warren strikes again! Fantastic pop song, catchy as hell, and a big hit for Leann. Helped keep pop alive in 2002.

19. Pass the Courvoisier: (1/5) Ditto to track #6.

20. Anything: (1/5) See above.

For someone looking for variety, this is a good buy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Much Better Than 'Totally Hits 2001', June 16, 2002

By 

"soanna1" (Pawling, New York United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Totally Hits 2002 (Audio CD)

This CD, in my opinion tops 'Totally Hits 2001' for it's contimplation of songs that are mostly hits, rather than '2001' did. It includes a mixture of music styles like pop, hip hop, rock, and R&B. There's complaints about over played hits, which I really DO NOT understand. Of course, if they're hits, they MOST LIKELY will be popular with the radio! Anyway, back to the songs. My #1 on this CD is Fat Joe/Ashanti/Ja Rule, "What's Luv?". It's a hip hop song with lotsa new flavour due to Ashanti's beautiful voice: "What's luv?/Got to do, got to do with it, babe/What's Luv?/Should be about us, it should be about trustin." Pink's "Get The Party Started" is a fun song to dance to, but at this point in time I think that it should have been "Don't Let Me Get Me". Same with Michelle Branch -"Everywhere" is a great song, but by now I think "All You Wanted" would have done better. Other highlights include Natalie Imbruglia, "Wrong Impression" and Alicia Keys, "A Woman's Worth". (I admit it, even this song has been waayy overplayed and overhyped, but it's still good.) 20 hirs in all. Enjoy!
