I found a rumoured tracklisting
The voice within is only included on the UK version so I have pre ordered a uk import. Can't hold us down - the collab with lil kim hasn't made it. Also, the original versions of genie and beautiful will be included as well as the re -records. I hope this is true.

The albums arrived today (smashed to pieces may i add)
I do not like the new versions of Genie and Beautiful. If there is one tip all artist should take and that is to NEVER EVER re create your best hits.
My only concern with this is that it doesn't have Can't hold us down which in terms of peak, it was way more successful that Dirrty and Fighter.
It also has Lady marmalade which I love but Christina only sings a couple of lines in the song and the greatest hits of a particular artist always come across to me as the type of albums that has that artist as the main artist in that song. But christina isn't.

I like the new version of GIAB, but not Beautiful.
I wonder how this will do sales wise. Maybe 150-200k? And 450-500k worldwide?

Hmm, i am not sure. I reckon below 100k. It is up against Taylor and to be honest, most people would rather buy an album full of new songs than an album full of songs that most people own of her three albums. Although buying this was good for me as i disliked her albums.

I completely agree with Kill The Lights. This just doesn't seem like a big "anticipation" album, and on the strength of "Keeps Gettin' Better," which isn't all that great? I'd be surprised to see 90K.

I agree there is no anticipation - but I think she has a bigger fanbase than just 90k. I can see the album plummeting second week because after first week fan demand has been absorbed, not much will remain.

I think the US tracklist is extremely poor. Only 10 of her 'hits'. I'm not really sure why they would omit "Lady Marmalade" "Nobody Wants To Be Lonely" or "The Voice Within"...unless they plan on a release later with all tracks on it.
