Synopsis

Amazon.com
Totally Hits, Vol. 2 is truth in advertising, cobbling together major radio singles from Madonna ("Beautiful Stranger"), Santana ("Maria Maria"), Christina Aguilera ("Genie in a Bottle"), LFO ("Girl on TV"), Lou Bega ("Mambo No. 5"), and others into one road-worthy compilation. Great for making mixes or remembering a summer gone by, Totally Hits, Vol. 2 permits casual music fans to graze pop confection without feeling stuffed. --Courtney Kemp

Rescuing Great Singles from Not--So-Great Albums
T. C Lane | Marina, CA USA | 05/31/2000
(4 out of 5 stars)

"This collection works best when it retrieves great singles from albums that aren't that great. That's what the initial Totally Hits did. Volume 1's choice of "Believe", "Summer Girls", "This Kiss" and "One Week" were a good reminder of why these collections sell. Why spend [money] for one good song on a CD, when you can get 18 tracks for the same price? Volume 2 does an equally good job of getting the best singles out of ho-hum albums: Missy, Third Eye Blind, Lou Bega, LFO (again), the Madonna Austin Powers song, Lonestar, "Genie In A Bottle" and Donell Jones. A good investment and a decent compilation. This is a good mix tape that you don't have the time to make."
Now this is what radio should sound like!

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Let's start off with the track listing, since it seems to be missing: 01. Maria Maria - Santana (Featuring The Product G&B) 02. Genie In A Bottle - Christine Aguilera 03. Never Let You Go - Third Eye Blind 04. Falls Apart - Sugar Ray 05. Amazed - Lonestar 06. Mambo No. 5 - Lou Bega 07. Beautiful Dreamer - Madonna 08. My Love Is Your Love (Jonathan Peters' Radio Mix) - Whitney Houston 09. Take A Picture - Filter 10. Dear Lie - TLC 11. Hot Boyz - Missy Elliot 12. Natural Blues - Moby 13. Girls On TV - LFO 14. I Drive Myself Crazy - 'N Sync 15. U Know What's Up - Donell Jones 16. Right Here Waiting - Monica Feauturing 112 17. The Great Beyond - R.E.M. 18. I Will Remember You (Live) - Sarah McLachlan If there was a single radio station that played this variety, I'd listen to it all the time! I've never supported the virtual apartheid of American radio where music is limited to narrow and exclusive genres. It's like eating nothing but mashed potatoes - very quickly boring.This is a smorgasbord of music: a touch of country (Lonestar genuinely sweet ballad, which, if it hadn't crossed over, would eventually have been a BSB hit), MOR (Sarah McLaughlan's best song, originally released on the obscure "Brothers McMullan" soundtrack), rap (Missy Elliot's set the record for most weeks at #1 on the rap chart with this track), smooth soul (Donell Jones, + Monica's faithful adaptation of the Richard Marx hit from the 80's), then a move into heavier rock (REM from the Andy Kaufman biopic, Filter's anthemic "take A Picture", and Moby's trance-meets-gospel on "Natural Blues") and fill it in with the pure pop of some of last year's biggest tracks from Madonna, Christina, NSync, and the only Lou Bega track you'll ever hear.This is a top notch combination of popular and critical favorites, and I'd have a hard time dropping any track on the CD. (Although, if pressed, that Santana track is getting reeeallly overexposed.)This is the album you'll go back to in five or ten years from now and think, boy that was a great time for music.And you'll be right.[Odd piece of trivia: Lisa "Left-Eye" Lopez of TLC is on 3 of the tracks -- Donell, Missy, and TLC, naturally]"
