New Adventures in HiFi Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 I always read that it was, but the B-52's put out a remix album in 1981. It seems to be forgotten about in the grand scheme of things, but it was out 6 years before YCD. The Pet Shop Boys also put out a remix album in 1986.

Human League was instrumental/dubs. Some early remixes sounded nothing like the original, such as The Police's Don't Stand So Close To Me, they completely changed the arrangement which I suppose isn't new cuz Aretha sang melodies her way, not resembling the original. YCD did open the floodgates for similar diva projects - Jody Watley, Tranet, Paula Abdul et al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
New Adventures in HiFi Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Tranet's came out before Madge's too. I think YCD was on the books in 1986 but wasn't released until November 1987. The Control Remix album came out in early '87. Obviously Madonna's was on a larger scale and attracted more attention, but technically "Control: The Remixes" was out first. Good one.

madonnasuperfan01 Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Seeing the top 10, i really don't understand how a J-Lo remix album could've sold so much. Not surprised to see MJ n°1 though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YCD was definitely due out in late 1986 as I went in to buy it but they'd released Open Your Heart instead. You can see from the catalogue number that it was due for earlier release but then was delayed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loomer Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Seeing the top 10, i really don't understand how a J-Lo remix album could've sold so much. Not surprised to see MJ n°1 though. Her "remixes" (basically new songs) were the only thing people liked by her and she fraudulently sold her "albums" which contained the wrong versions, so finally when they put out a remix album it was big. I thought JOld had the biggest seller but I forgot about Jacko. And I'm glad that Madge outsold her and thank god they delayed it till 87. True Blue was just TOO big to do that.

loomer Posted November 16, 2014 Share Posted November 16, 2014 Original FLOP ( ) "Remix" She copied this from poor Mariah anyway, whose hip hop mixes also sucked ass (the house mixes were the best thing she ever did, though). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apples388 Posted November 17, 2014 Share Posted November 17, 2014 They really missed a trick by not releasing Veronica Electronica... it would have easily sold a few million off the back of Ray of Light. They could have released it to coincide with "Nothing Really Matters" to wrap up the era and pave the way for Music a year later. But I guess she got busy with "Beautiful Stranger" and, er, The Next Best Thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
