It was considered the sequel to 1990's The Immaculate Collection and was rumoured to even be titled The Immaculate Collection 2, but they settled on an abbreviation of Greatest Hits Volume 2. It is said that the album includes only songs that Madonna could "listen to five times in a row" and, unlike its predecessor, did not feature a chronological tracking list nor any new songs. Would you have preferred an album more similar to The Immaculate Collection, showing a progressive journey of Madonna's 90s hits, concluding with a suggestion of what to expect from her music next? Which songs would you have been able to listen to on repeat? The original tracking list: 01. Deeper and Deeper 02. Erotica 03. Human Nature 04. Secret 05. Don't Cry for Me Argentina 06. Bedtime Story 07. The Power of Goodbye 08. Beautiful Stranger 09. Frozen 10. Take a Bow 11. Ray of Light 12. Don't Tell Me 13. What It Feels Like for a Girl 14. Drowned World/Substitute for Love 15. Music

Erotica 2. Deeper & Deeper 3. Rain 4. I'll Remember 5. Secret 6. Take a Bow 7. You'll See 8. Don't Cry for Me Argentina 9. Frozen 10. Ray of Light 11. The Power of Goodbye 12. Beautiful Stranger 13. American Pie 14. Music 15. Don't Tell Me 16. New Song 17. New Song However I'm not sure it works as well as TIC. With that collection, it was literally hit after hit, bop after bop (even ballads like 'Crazy for You' or 'Live to Tell' didn't feel that out of place), whereas the material that the 91-01 era had to offer was much more diverse and I don't think song-by-song it flows as well as one would hope, despite the album-by-album journey from Erotica to Music making perfect sense. I think a little more thought would have had to be taken with the tracking list and, whilst I think the official tracking-list did consider that, I'm not sure they got it quite right. Plus it criminally left off 'Rain' and 'You'll See' - Madonna, how could you not be able to listen to these more than 5 times?!
