Star Tripping

After 10 years of hibernating from the music scene, pop star Christina Aguilera is back in the groove of things as she has reportedly become the latest musical act to be released at Target retailers only. Among the songs that will be included in the new album titled “Keeps Gettin’ Better — A Decade of Hits” are all-time favorites “Genie in a Bottle” and “Beautiful”.

Her compilation may be songs of the past but they are also the favorites to this day as we continue to hear them on the airwaves.

“I can’t believe it’s been over 10 years since my first album and it was really exciting to put all of my favorite songs in one collection for my fans,” said Aguilera in a statement.

Aguilera is following a growing list of acts who have struck exclusive deals with retailers. Wal-Mart has had huge success with similar deals with The Eagles, Journey, and Garth Brooks; AC/DC’s October release of “Black Ice” will be available only at Wal-Mart, its affiliated Sam’s Club and the band’s Web site. The Eagles comeback album, “Long Road Out of Eden,” was the third-best selling CD of 2007 with 2.6 million copies sold.
