Hit: 4 Stars
A lot of new and fickle artits started pooping up by '88. Though not the most concise collection, like '87, it largely survives by compiling one-hit wonders you wouldn't want a full album by, along with a few bigger acts.Johnny Hates Jazz's monster 'arena-pop' hit "Shattered Dreams", Bobby McFerrin's well-meaning but somehow funny all vocal "Don't Worry Be Happy", Escape Club's serious but still fun rollicking "Wild Wild West" (complete with gunfire) and Will To Power's dance remake of "Baby I Love Your Way" are the examples that hold this together. I like Richard Marx, but the uninteresting ballad "Hold On to the Nights" isn't his best. Cheap Trick's Monster Ballad "The Flame" is hard enough to not be sappy, but it's still emotional. The closest thing to Hair-Metal on here.
Not surprisingly Billy Ocean's up-tempo cruisin' hit "Get Outta My Dreams" is edited, just like all his other songs on this series. Girl group Expose has one of their best with the ballad "Seasons Change." Gloria Estefan's similarly styled "Anything For You" is good every so-often. "Wishing Well" is total R&B filler though.

The world's number one chart researcher, Joel Whitburn, selected the recordings for this collection. Joel is the author of the Record Research books which chronicle the artists and the records that hit Billboard's music charts. He hand picked each of the songs in this series according to chart performance and licensing availability. Sounding exactly as they did when first released, these classic recordings have been digitally remastered from original tape sources.Dance & DJ Music CDs
