Christina, 'N Sync, Others Celebrate 'Platinum
Christmas'
If you've been waiting for Christina and
'N Sync to come along and pepper your holiday season with a shimmering,
sparkling dose of pop, then you're about to be a very happy reader.
Christina's version of 'Silent Night'
/ 'Noche de Pas' (in English and Spanish) will appear on 'Platinum
Christmas,' a collection of yuletide tunes so star-studded that
it promises to make the windows at Macy's look positively B-list.
Christina is teaming up with 15 other chart-topping
acts from the realms of pop, hip-hop, and R&B - The Backstreet Boys,
Christina Aguilera, Whitney Houston, TLC, Toni Braxton, Santana,
Monica, Joe, R. Kelly, Pink, Dave Matthews Band, Donell Jones, Dido,
and Steps.
You
can buy the CD on-line now.
Collectively, the roster of talent assembled has
sold more than 200 million records worldwide.
The collection promises to find the aforementioned
artists tackling holiday season classics as well as contemporary
tracks.
To their credit, most of the featured artists
opted to record new or lesser-known holiday tunes. Only a few folks
dared to tackle seasonal chestnuts, such as Christina's 'Silent
Night' and Toni Braxton's reading of Mel Torme's classic 'The Christmas
Song.'
'Platinum Christmas' marks Jive Records' first
foray into the holiday market and brings a Christmas twist to the
pop-compilation trend that sent the 'Now That's What I Call Music'
compilations to the top of the charts.
