   It appears all 21 of Britney Spears' Top 40 singles are included in their correct hit versions on her recently released volume in the Essential series:

"...Baby One More Time"

"Sometimes"

"(You Drive Me) Crazy"

"From The Bottom Of My Broken Heart"

"Oops!...I Did It Again"

"Lucky"

"Stronger"

"I'm A Slave 4 U"

"Me Against The Music" (featuring Madonna)

"Toxic"

"Everytime"

"Gimme More"

"Piece Of Me"

"Womanizer"

"Circus"

"If You Seek Amy"

"3"

"Hold It Against Me"

"Till The World Ends"

"I Wanna Go"

"Scream & Shout" (with will.i.am)

The set also includes many other lower or non-charting singles and is a great overview of her 15 year recording career.

	Doug - lol. Different strokes for different folks... It doesn't seem like this CD is available in the US right now. There were several other Essential compilations released on the same date (Bill Withers, Tammy Wynette, Sarah McLachlan, Santana) and all of these are available. But Amazon only shows new versions for sale from private sellers (for about $40) and Wal-Mart's website shows it's not currently available. Some of the sellers on Amazon wrote that it's been pulled from shelves. Is this accurate?

	Okay, I did a bit more investigating and saw someone post on a message board that they had picked up the CD at Target on September 4. So I decided to check it out and headed to my closest Target. And indeed, they had one copy left. So if this CD is something that interests you, head to your local big box retailer quickly. Sony/BMG has released quite a few good Essential CDs recently. Target also had an Essential CD from Nilsson, which includes several single versions according to the back cover.

	Thanks for the add'l info, musicmanatl. I remember seeing stacks of them back on August 20 when they were released! Everything I'm seeing says it is out of print now though it feels more like it was pulled/deleted by the label. People have spent as much as $125 on eBay for a copy! Edited by Underground Dub

	That's crazy. The Target I bought my copy in had four more copies on the shelf. There are two other locations I drive past daily that may also have them as well. I paid $13 plus tax for my copy of the double disc.

	There are a bunch of copies currently on eBay, and the going price seems to be right around $30, if they even sell. There are plenty that ended with no bids.

	This is quite interesting if this CD has indeed been pulled/deleted already. I found two copies of it in a Target yesterday and bought it just in case. Sounds good, too! Too bad they couldn't get "The Ooh La La" on it.

	Why would they pull a GH collection that had only been in stores a few weeks? Some overlooked licensing issue perhaps?

	It's possible that there are some licencing issues, ala Sam Cooke. It does have a recent-charting hit with will- i-am on it.
