There's a certain stylistic variety here, as seen in Faith Hill's late-'90s country rock grandeur, Barenaked Ladies' goofy nice-guy pop-rapping, Santana's skillfully updated Latin rock. However, most of the tracks on TOTALLY HITS are either hip-hop workouts (rock-rapper Kid Rock), r&b ballads (Monica, TLC, 'N Sync), or unabashed dance numbers (Cher's monster hit "Believe" and Madonna's foray into electronica, "Ray of Light"). Pleasant if puzzling surprise: an unusually large number of these songs begin with gentle acoustic guitars (some sampled, some not), including pop party band Sugar Ray's "Someday," which is gentle enough to recall Chad and Jeremy!   Technical Info Release Date : 11/09/1999 Original Release Date : 1999 Catalog ID : 14625 Label : Arista Records (USA) Number of Discs : 1 Studio/Live : Studio Mono/Stereo : Stereo SPAR Code : n/a UPC : 00078221462525   Professional Reviews Entertainment Weekly (2/11/00, pp.70-1) - "...generally lives up to its title....In terms of bang-for-buck TOTALLY HITS scores handily; listening to it is like discovering a well-rounded Top 40 station but without the ads or loudmouthed jocks..." - Rating: B   Product Image
