Released in September 2019, the first ‘Pop Explosion’ was a huge success and with its ’sweets’ artwork one of last year’s most eye catching comps. We are delighted to present a second instalment: ‘Pop Explosion - Can’t Get Enough’ across 80 tracks on 4 CDs. This time with a super sweet doughnuts themed cover, the collection delivers an equally pop-tastic selection of smash hits.The songs (like the last album) are from the 90’s through to present day. As an antidote to the hugely popular ‘Britpop’ phenomenon, ‘pure-pop’ made a massive comeback where Take That, Boyzone and Westlife (all on this album) sold millions of singles and as the popularity of this re-energised pop grew, a huge line-up of acts dominated the charts and achieved global success on a scale never seen before. UK acts Steps, S Club 7, Busted, McFly and The Sugababes enjoyed multiple Number 1 hit singles alongside US acts with a sound defined by exquisite production values. Britney Spears, The Backstreet Boys, Christina Aguilera, Ricky Martin and *NSYNC - all included here - achieved record-shattering album sales across the world. The popularity of music-based TV talent shows introduced a raft of new pop stars and we celebrate the successes of Girls Aloud, Will Young, Hear’Say, Shayne Ward, JLS and Gareth Gates. The explosion of pure-pop in the new millennium saw it become a global phenomenon with huge tracks from Aqua, T.A.T.U, and A-Teens and a take on guitar driven pop produced massive hits for Good Charlotte, Avril Lavigne, and Wheatus alongside the aforementioned McFly & Busted. ‘Pop Explosion - Can’t Get Enough’ celebrates the boy-bands and girl-bands that ruled the school with Five, Blue, A1 and 911 representing the boys and Atomic Kitten, B*Witched and The Saturdays for the girls. Then when the bands took a break, solo stars emerged - including here: Cheryl, Emma Bunton, Melanie C, Victoria Beckham (with True Steppers & Dane Bowers), Nicole Scherzinger, Ronan Keating and Rachel Stevens. Dance music delivered some huge pure pop moments too - O-Zone, A Touch Of Class, Infernal, Alcazar and the incredible Scooter are all featured.…..and we bring the party into the 2010’s with mega-hits from One Direction, 5 Seconds Of Summer, Olly Murs, Justin Bieber, Little Mix, Carly Rae Jepsen and many more… Go on, help yourself to another helping of ‘POP EXPLOSION’ - you ‘CAN’T GET ENOUGH’
