Tough question...If I compare ATAY & B to ON & LMS it gets even harder. But I think I’ll go for The Pop Hits.

the xtra tracks was better on Ballad and pop hits did have to many ballads

I dunno... pop hits is more my taste, but there are BALLADS on the Ep, and some great songs are missing! :-(

if it’s not for ON, i would say TBH, but my vote is both now :-)

songwise I go for TBH coz of ATAY... but then I’ve been swept off my feet by Bla, bla, bla... doesn’t that one fit Ballads more anyway? :)

I haven’t heard the new songs of the Pop-hits yet, but in general I like the powerpop-songs more than the ballads, although I like TBH too!

The Ballad Hits, I love the Ballads from Roxette. And the new songs from TPH what I love really much are more Ballads :-)
But I love both ;-)

The Pop Hits ( in spite of “Stars” and “The Centre Of The Heart” )
But “The Ballad Hits” is an AMAZING album.
All the best

I must say the ballad album is more compleet. As far as I know all the ballads that where hit singles are included on TBH while the pop-album is not that compleet (Fireworks, SDLHA). I never listen to these albums cause I need variation when I listen to music. (so I make my own compilations) Just bought them cause I’m a collector and a huge ROXFAN.

breathe is better than LMS
TBH EP is better than TPH EP
ON and ATAY is both great

Well, I don’t have “The Pop Hits” yet, no places I saw are stocking it yet as an import. HOWEVER, since I know the tracklisting and I prefer powerpop more than ballads (tho Rox’s ballads are the cool Euro style a la ABBA, not the boring cliched mushy kind), I’ll go with TPH, and hey, ON RULES!! TBH I compare to Madonna’s “Something To Remember” because Rox’s singles are mostly powerpop toonz, with the occasional ballad to balance things out. Most of Madonna’s hits are uptempo tunes as well. Both have an eclectic variety of ballads that have the ability to surprise people when heard on a single collection.
Do you all agree??

oooooooh... I love Madonna´s STR collection... my fav M album together with Music.
What is missing on STR is Spanish Eyes :)

ballad, cause Pop doesn´t include fireworks and she doesn´t...
