Christina, 'N Sync, Others Celebrate 'Platinum Christmas'

Christina

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.

On 'Platinum Christmas,' here's what you'll find:
1. Britney Spears - 'My Only Wish (This Year)'
2. 'N Sync - 'I Don't Want To Spend One More Christmas Without You'
3. Backstreet Boys - 'Christmas Time'
4. Christina Aguilera - 'Silent Night'
5. Whitney Houston - 'Who Could Imagine A King'
6. TLC - 'Sleighride'
7. Toni Braxton - 'The Christmas Song'
8. Santana - 'Posada (Pilgrimage To Bethlehem)'
9. Monica - 'My Grown Up Christmas List'
10. Joe - 'This Christmas'
11. R. Kelly - 'World Christmas'
12. Pink - 'Give Love On Christmas Day'
13. Dave Matthews Band - 'Christmas Song'
14. Donell Jones - 'My Gift To You'
15. Dido - 'Christmas Day'
16. Steps - 'Merry Christmas Everybody' - Wall of Sound
