Greatest Hits Vol.2 (Streets Of Bakersfield) - Buck Owens

Advantages: Musical variation a style
Disadvantages: A highly sexual orientated album

...and opinion, so please sit back and enjoy, here is my CD album review of: **Madonna: "GHV2" (Greatest Hits Volume 2)** **About Madonna** Madonna Louise Veronica Ciccone was born August 1958 in Michigan, USA. She has become a household name to millions of people across the world. Such an inspirational figure that very few people haven't heard of. This superstar has not only produced many musical hits over the many years of her career, but has also starred in movies and written books. She has used her fame and fortune to help promote charities and has helped fight against the war of Aids awareness (By donating her own money and also, by jumping on the bandwagon when most people shied away from such charities). She has constantly revamped her image in the many years of her career which has allowed her to keep her music fresh and yet original... Read review

Advantages: Part 2 of a great group's career
Disadvantages: Inconsistent - a few also-rans

This album reached number 2 in 2001 (beaten by Westlife!) and fell out the charts quickly unlike her previous Greatest Hits, The Immaculate Collection, still visits the charts and has sold 40 million copies worldwide and counting. Why is this? This is a strong album of her greatest hits! She was touring when this came out and her tours were very successful. This album was promoted everywhere (I still have postcards from restaurants advertising it). Most people say that it was September 11th which did it (it came out a week later) and America was under scutiny. I don't think this. I don't know what it is, but this isn't it. Another problem I have... Read review
