Famous remix albums

[bitbitboi]

In the heels of Dua Lipa's new remix album, "Club Future Nostalgia", getting rave critic's reviews, and me loving remixes so much, I decided to compile a little list of famous remix albums, starting with Britney's MEGA UNDERRATED (by her own fanbase) remix albums, which I LOVE!
 

- Britney Spears - "B In The Mix: The Remixes" (2005)
North American cover:

International cover (so beautiful):

With "And Then We Kiss (Junkie XL Remix)"! A gem.

 

- Britney Spears - "B In The Mix: The Remixes - Vol. 2" (2011)
(this cover is disgusting omg)

This compilation is less "emotive" for me, maybe because the songs are newer, but the remixes definitely hit harder!

 

And some others (in chronological order):

- Madonna - "You Can Dance" (1987) - 5,500,000 copies sold

The cover is amazing, so iconic.

- Björk - "Telegram "(1996)

I haven't listened to it yet, but isn't Björk's music a constant remix? hah

- Michael Jackson - "Blood On The Dance Floor: HIStory In The Mix" (1997) - 6,000,000 copies sold - Best selling remix album so far.

I have this one! It's long, and definitely moody/vibey, but it's not as consistent as I expected.

- Limp Bizkit - "New Old Songs" (2001) - 500,000 copies sold

OMG THIS IS AMAZING. I loooooved Limp Bizkit when I was in high school and I still listen to them, their music is great. This was such a treat, and I appreciate that a rock band released something like this (they have a DJ in the group though)

- Jennifer Lopez "J To Tha L–O! The Remixes" (2002) - 3,000,000 copies sold

Great album! The remixes are almost new songs, like "Ain't It Funny (****** Remix) (feat. Ja Rule)", which was a single with a great video.

- Linkin Park - "Reanimation" (2002) - 1,900,000 copies sold (in the US)

FAN-TAS-TIC. A rollercoaster.

- Goldfrapp - "We Are Glitter" (2006)

The album name, this is for the gays 

- The Beatles - "Love" (2006) - 5,000,000 copies sold

It features music compiled and remixed as a mashup for the Cirque du Soleil show of the same name.

- Lady Gaga - "The Remix" (2010) - 500,000 copies sold

Not perfect but "LoveGame (Chew Fu Ghettohouse Fix) (feat. Marilyn Manson)" is WILD.

 

Do you know more remix albums? I'm sure there are more!!

The touch of my hand remix is one of my all time favorites 

[SloppyToppyGoddess]

Im not a fan of remix albums typically. But i love the way JLo did her remixes when she completely transformed a single "I'm real" and "aint it funny". Same song title but whole new verses, production, concepts. Honestly the only two Britney remix songs that I like better than their original are "Crazy Stop Remix" and "Early Morning Jason Nevins Remix". Some are ok but i dont see the point of a remix unless it elevates a song.

I actually feel like it's 40+ year old gay men that love remixes. Whenever I went to a local gay bar with majority older gay men, they would play nothing but remixes to Madonna, Whitney and Mariah. Where as my friends liked current songs, heck even regular versions of Madonna and Mariah.... 

 

Whitneys " its not right but its Okay" remix slaps tho

JLO’s remix album was also the first number one on the Billboard charts for a remix album. Haven’t fact checked if another has been number one as well or if she still holds the record

The hell I’ve loved remixes even when I was in middle and high school. I was 10 when JLO’s came out and I loved it. Was 14 when BITM came out and 

and 

were a couple of the first remixes I bought on iTunes in high school @Neneleaks
