(antiMusic) If you are curious as to why music sales seem to be sinking faster than the Titanic, some of the major labels launched an effort a while ago to highlight exactly what is wrong with today's popular music in the form of a string of comp CDs featuring music that will be out of fashion almost as soon as the cellophane wrapping hits your trash can. A PR company sent us a press release a half a dozen times within a couple hours on Friday so they just needed you to know, otherwise we'd probably have ignored it. Here is the hype, oops press release about the latest installment: The world’s best-selling multi-artist album series, NOW That’s What I Call Music!, will ring in the holiday season with the November 13 release of two scorching collections of today’s hottest tunes. NOW That’s What I Call Music! Vol. 26 features 20 chart-topping Pop, Modern Rock, Rap and R&B smash hits, and NOW That’s What I Call Party Hits! celebrates with 20 of the hottest roof-raising tracks from a who’s-who of today’s top artists.
NOW That’s What I Call Music! Vol. 26 spotlights 20 of today’s hottest chart hits, including Soulja Boy Tell’Em’s “Crank That (Soulja Boy),” J. Holiday’s “Bed,” Justin Timberlake’s “Lovestoned,” Rihanna’s “Shut Up And Drive,” Fergie’s “Big Girls Don’t Cry (Personal),” Plain White T’s’ “Hey There Delilah,” Nickelback’s “Rockstar,” Fabolous featuring Ne-Yo’s “Make Me Better,” and many more.
