I am STUNNED at how good Annie Lennox's new song "Shining Light" is. Right now, all we have is a radio rip of it, but it is assured a spot on 2009's year end list. It is going to be on her greatest hits set which is coming out in February. Even though it is a cover, it is classic Annie.It has been a long time since I bought a no-frills greatest hits disc. Honestly, I don't think they're really all that necessary any longer. I could have sworn that ChartRigger expounded on this, and I'm still convinced he did, but most fans can put together better best-of sets than labels. But Annie is smart - throwing in a DVD of her music videos. Now THAT I will pony up the cash for. Even though it doesn't have, as XO lamented last year, the "Money Can't Buy It" video.
*sigh* Now if we can just get the Savage longform video on DVD, all will be well with the world.

ooo we are so in sync. I *just* listened to it and then checked yours and XO's blogs for info and lo and behold you didn't disappoint. It's gorgeous isn't it?!
There is always this question of who a HITS record is for. I think it can be done for both fans and casual buyers. I do like the fact we can now make our own on itunes.
