Why?

I'm so confused. marrymehowie linked to Nsync's Greatest Hits, with track listing, due out October 25th.

My question is why now? I know GH compilations are a cheap way for labels to make some more money off a back catalogue, and I'm not tuching onto what this means for the group's future *g*. But the timing really confuses me. No one from Nsync is really doing anything newsworthy at the moment that they can try and piggyback this onto the back off, and there's no new songs, like there were on Chapter One (which BSB did promote, even though it was reluctantly) or Britney's GH.

Of course, my real problem is this: if they wanted to release something Nsync-related, why couldn't it be the Celebrity tour dvd? There were reports ages ago that JC had been involved in editing and stuff for it, and that permission to release for the Beatle's songs to be included had been obtained. Gimme!

In other tragic news, I forgot my mp3 player today. I can't remember how to work without music *sob*.

No one's said a word about it at all. Even if it is cheap as hell to make, you still need to promote an album.

The major reason BSB gave for going along with promoting Chapter 1 even though they didn't want it released was that they didn't want something with their name on it to flop.

Perhaps this is some innovative new marketing method - do fuckall?
