Britney Spears
"Greatest Hits: My Prerogative"
Genre: Pop
America's favorite pop-princess gone wild releases her greatest hits album today. Featuring past hits "...Baby One More Time," "Toxic," and "I'm A Slave 4 U," the disc is a must-have for any Britney fan. However, the real buy may be the separate DVD, which includes all of Britney's videos, as well as alternative versions and never-before-seen footage.
Elton John
"Peachtree Road"
Genre: Adult Contemporary
Elton John's 43rd release features 12 original tracks and was co-written by Bernie Taupin. Featuring a slower, more Southern feel, Sir Elton sings about his newfound love and soberness. While a must-have for true Elton fans, a lack of rocking out may cause the casual fan to skip this one.
Ja Rule
"R.U.L.E."
Genre: Hip-Hop
After the flop that was "Blood in My Eye," on which Ja spent over half the album attempting to be hard by ripping 50 Cent, Rule tries to get back to his roots on "R.U.L.E." With guest spots from R. Kelly, Jadakiss and, of course, Ashanti, Ja hopes to spring back to the top of R&B-flavored rap.
Shania Twain
"Greatest Hits"
Genre: Country/Pop
The genre-bending queen is back with a greatest hits disc, having sold more than 40 million albums. This CD features past chart-toppers "I'm Gonna Getcha Good," "From This Moment," and "That Don't Impress Me Much." There are also three brand new tracks, including a duet with Mark McGrath called "Party For Two."
