A surprising find.... CD has 22 tracks with such artists as Beyonce/Jay-Z, Black Eyed Peas, Kelly Clarkson and Britney Spears. The 2nd CD has 13 Karaoke Tracks.
Review Date: 1/28/2015

????? Not sure what the previous reviewer was listening to. The stated artists on the digipak are the original ones.... the versions sound original. Not the greatest cross-section of my fves from the 70s, but bring back good memories.
