^Thanks for sharing that, I always kind of figured that’s why so they can get their last money’s worth. After seeing what happened to Tim McGraw with all of his compilation albums I think it really wrecks what the point of greatest hits albums are supposed to be.

I feel like this second greatest hits should’ve been put off a little while longer so that it didn’t look like her past greatest hits reloaded.

I think the main reason it’s being released has to do with Martina having left RCA. When a successful artist leaves a longtime label, it’s fairly common for the label to release a compilation afterwards. If not for the recent label switch, I doubt this collection would have been released at this time.

It’s nice to see “Whatever You Say” included on here. It seems to have always been fairly underrated.

^I’m glad you mentioned those last 3 songs Bob’ I hope they are featured in a collection album of hers some day! I think this greatest hits album is a little premature. Her first greatest hits worked so well considering all the hits she had in the 90s and the last 3 songs included were just as good and became hits too. I feel like this second greatest hits should’ve been put off a little while longer so that it didn’t look like her past greatest hits reloaded.

Good review as usual. Agree with “Wrong Again” as a track I would like to have seen included. Although I wouldn’t expect to see them on a Hits and More collection, I always liked “All the Things We’ve Never Done”, “Wearing White” and her duet with Jimmy Buffett, “Trip Around the Sun”.
