Singles feathered on MTV’s immensely popular “Total Request Live” (TRL) show will be available in compilation form March 26 via UTV Records’ “The Best of TRL Pop,” a single-disc set celebrating the stars whose videos have been the show’s staples.
There are no exclusives or rarities here, just the show’s most popular singles in their original studio incarnations, from Smash Mouth’s ubiquitous “All Star” and Sisqo’s equally universal “Thong Song” to Enrique Iglesias’ No. 1 Billboard Hot 100 smash “Be With You” and Willa Ford’s “I Wanna Be Bad.” All the big boy bands are here too, including ‘N Sync, Backstreet Boys, 98 Degrees, O-Town, and BBMak.
MTV’s previous TRL-inspired compilation, “MTV TRL Christmas” (Lava/Atlantic) – which featured Christmas song interpretations by Ford, ‘N Sync, Weezer, Sugar Ray, TLC, and more – hit No. 162 on The Billboard 200 last December and rose to No. 20 on Billboard’s Top Holiday Albums chart in early January.
