The Top Reasons to Buy Hit Music Collections


For a music lover there is nothing better than browsing a music store or searching through iTunes for the latest greatest hit or classic song. With so many different artists to choose from, music lovers are left with hundreds or thousands of CDs or MP3s to search through to find just the right songs for them. Perhaps buying a hit music collection is a better idea and here are some reasons why.

Artists' Greatest Hits on One CD


When you have a favorite artist or perhaps multiple artists you enjoy, they will most likely have several albums to purchase. This means spending money on several CDs or MP3s which will end up clogging your music collection somewhat. Instead, it may be a better idea to purchase a greatest hits collection album of your favorite artist; you will receive their greatest hits and possibly previously unreleased material on one or two CDs. This definitely cuts down on the amount you have to spend.

Spend Less Money


If you go with a collection of a specific singer, you will find you will end up paying less money for more songs, than if you bought each individual album. A musician or band may have as many as 20 albums over the course of their career and if you don't exactly like all their songs, that's a lot of money you are paying out. A collection in the long run tends to offer a good selection of music at a much cheaper price.

More Artists on one Collection


Not all collections have only one artist featured either; in fact, many greatest hits collections actually feature several singers and bands in the album. There are several well-known collections, for example Time-Life that offer CD collections from movies, television series and multiple singers of different genres and generations in one collection. This is great in order to have variety in your music and perhaps songs you might not have heard before or have loved all together in one collection.

Only Well-Known Songs


Another reason you may wish to purchase a collection of music is, the collection tends to only have the most popular and well-known songs included. Typically, we don't always enjoy every single song on an album we buy and many of the songs never get released for air-play. A collection only highlights released and popular hits and sometimes never-before-released material.
