The Huffington Post claims ( http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2013/08/0 ... 97714.html) that this will be a Walmart exclusive, but as Wikipedia ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Essent ... ney_Spears) has duly noted, Amazon is also listing this (at http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DW5IKJI/?tag=imwan-20) Disc 1 1. "...Baby One More Time" 2. "Sometimes" (Radio Edit) 3. "(You Drive Me) Crazy (The Stop Remix!)" 4. "From the Bottom of My Broken Heart" (Radio Edit) 5. "Oops!... I Did It Again" 6. "Lucky" 7. "Stronger" 8. "I'm a Slave 4 U" 9. "I'm Not a Girl, Not Yet a Woman" 10. "Overprotected (The Darkchild Remix)" 11. "Boys (The Co-Ed Remix)" 12. "Me Against the Music" (featuring Madonna) (Video Mix) 13. "Toxic" 14. "Everytime" 15. "Outrageous" Disc 2 1. "My Prerogative" 2. "Do Somethin'" 3. "Gimme More" 4. "Piece of Me" 5. "Radar" 6. "Break the Ice" 7. "Hot as Ice" 8. "Womanizer" 9. "Circus" 10. "If U Seek Amy" 11. "Out from Under" 12. "3" 13. "Hold It Against Me" 14. "Till the World Ends" 15. "I Wanna Go" 16. "Criminal" 17. "Scream & Shout" (will.i.am featuring Britney Spears) (Radio Edit) This is Britney's third compilation disc in the past year, and her fifth since 2004 (not counting the two remix CD's.)

that's what it has become; the old acts just re-re-re-re-release their albums with little additions and live shows attached and the new acts just put out greatest hits and remix albums........and then they wonder why no one is buying.

She recorded a new song, "Ooh La La," for the Smurfs 2 soundtrack. Would it have killed them to include it on this comp?
P.S. Not a cover of the Faces song.

Never mind the music, what about pictures of her in this release?

P.S. Not a cover of the Faces song. One of the comps that was released last year, a budget/import title on the Sony Music Camden label, had a few B-sides. Interestingly, Sony Music Global was reportedly unaware of the release: Quote: http://ca.music.yahoo.com/blogs/sound-c ... 59325.htmlHowever, even though Sony's logo appears at the bottom of the CD's booklet, the company seems to be unaware of it...."Thx for your feedback but not sure what collection you're speaking of? We haven't announced any new Britney collection," Sony Music Global tweeted to a fan on June 24 after they begged them to stop releasing "Best Of" discs featuring Spears. Later adding, "We didn't answer because we are trying to get to the bottom if it. #patienceplease."

For the few who might be interested, this title was apparently pulled and/or deleted almost immediately. New copies on Amazon start at $40.

Really? Wow! I picked this up on a whim at Target a few weeks back. I hadn't bought any of her albums since the third one but have liked a few singles since then. It's a nice collection (as are the majority of Sony's Essential series). Had no idea it would be gone so quickly. Most of the Essential titles seem to have a long shelf life!

This was a weird release--I never saw it at a Walmart; everybody who owns it seems to have purchased it, as I did, at Target.
There was apparently never any sort of official statement made concerning an apparent recall, but in in googling this, the reasonable consensus seems to be that there were issues concerning the use of the "Scream & Shout", a single by "will.i.am" [sic] found on the Interscope album "#willpower". Interscope is a UMG label. It's anybody's guess what happened behind the scenes, but I can understand why it makes little sense for UMG to allow Sony BMG to use a recent single from an album barely six months old.

No worries, I'm sure we will see many many more Britney comps in years to come.

I got a promo copy at 'Rama (w/drill hole) when it was released. They've been trying to order more, found out it's no longer available.

I had skipped this because I have everything on it and I was unhappy with some of the omissions, but since it's now a rarity....
Ordered it online through a local retailer and the order went through at $13.99. We'll see if it ships...
Remember, Britney's new album is set for December 3rd, and her new single "Perfume" just premiered in the last day or two at all the online outlets.

Plus, this disc has Britney Spears music on it, another big knock against it.

I ended getting a new copy of this cheap from Amazon, so now I can Scream And Shout on Britney's birthday.
