Hits Magazine Tip of the Week
Looks as if there could be anywhere from five to eight new tracks on Michael Jackson’s forthcoming “Greatest Hits” project. No official release date has been set, but the elaborate two-disc package will reach stores sometime in November. Among the noted producers lending their skills to the new tracks are David Foster (Whitney Houston, All-4-One), Teddy Riley (Bobby Brown, Keith Sweat, James Ingram) and Babyface (Boyz II Men, Toni Braxton).
Note: Hits magazine is a weekly music industry trade publication.
