Mostly from the 80s, not many hits & almost no disco tracks

Advantages: The 6 number 1 records
Disadvantages: The rest of the tracks are rubbish

Disco may have lived on into the 80's in America but it was replaced by electro, hip hop then rap followed by House music. Wikipedia even openly admits that disco died in ...
...elsewhere during the 1980s", probably in less fashionable countries that hadn't adopted whatever was popular from England or America by then.

Disadvantages: Nothing specific

“Snowflakes” was released as the first Christmas album from the R&B singer Toni Braxton. Released in 2001, it finds her mixing in a range of tunes which have her taking on familiar tunes that all know from this time as well as some original compositions. It is noted for being recorded at a time when she was newly married and was expecting her first child. 1.“Holiday Celebrate” The album opens up with a track that shows that in this album we are about ...
...lts of effort put into it in order to make it sound much more than your average, quickly-thrown-together Christmas album as we get thoughtful production that mixes in the contemporary R&B trends with the Christmas-y themes for a big opener that I can't find any faults with. **Five Stars** 2.“Christmas In Jamaica” As things move on, we see there here we get what was the second album from the record and a joint that has her linking up with the Dancehall ...

Disadvantages: One weak track

...5 Christmas Album” is as the title indicates a Christmas-themed release from the Indiana Pop, Soul and Disco group The Jackson 5. Released in 1970, it was their fourth overall album (in spite of making their Motown debut the year before) and finds that Jermaine, Michael, Tito, Marlon and Jackie come together to bring a record that has them both covering classics and bringing new, original songs too. 1.“Have Yourself A Merry Little Christmas” The ...
