The U.K. chart is a bit logjammed this week, with the exception of the Pussycat Dolls, who debut at #3 with "When I Grow Up" and New Kids On The Block who enter at #34 with "Summertime."So instead, let's turn our attention to Christina Aguilera's Keeps Gettin' Better—A Decade Of Hits, which is out November 11. (That's the "Keeps Gettin' Better" single cover (listen here), not the full album, above.)
First up, if RCA is even going to bother, they ought to come up with a better tracklisting than this:
1. "Keeps Gettin' Better" (new single)
2. "Genie In A Bottle"
3. "Dirrty (featuring Redman)"
4. "Beautiful"
5. "Candyman"
6. "What a Girl Wants"
7. "Fighter"
8. "Ain't No Other Man"
9. "I Turn To You"
10. "Come On Over Baby (All I Want Is You)"
11. "Hurt"
12. "Dynamite" (new song)
13. "Decade: The Megamix"
Twelve tracks? That's it? Where's "The Voice Within"? And "Can't Hold Us Down"? And even "Lady Marmalade"? Lil' Kim appears on those latter two, so maybe X-tina has a beef with her now doesn't want her to get any royalties?
But, Jesus, at least throw on that trash from Mulan, or one of her Spanish or Christmas songs. Otherwise, what's even the point?
Oh, well. Not like I care, really. This broad's been dead to me since "Dirrty." My mom likes her, though, so this'll be a nice stocking stuffer. And my dad just likes when she does Maxim.
