Funny, i don't know if this is just me, but the cover art model looks a little like Kirtstin Dunst in Spiderman!! I think it's the red hair....
Interesting mix of songs there. And artists.

I don't recognize most of these names. I find it strange that singers like Celine Dion or even Sarah Brightman aren't on it.
It's good that Hayley's on it, though!

When record companies put together a compilation, they tend to include only their own artists. This is why so many compilations exclude major artists, e.g. sixties compilations that exclude th Beatles for example.
