Distributor: Universal Distribution Notes: Sibling teen-pop outfit Hanson burst into the limelight in the 1990s with their infectious single "MMMBop" and their major label debut MIDDLE OF NOWHERE. Hyped on their age (the drummer, Zac, was a mere 11 years old) and their wholesome, photogenic looks as much as their music, Hanson delivered a carefully crafted take on soulful pop that looked back to the Jackson 5 and the Partridge Family. The best of the band's material is presented on this 20th CENTURY MASTERS collection, which in addition to the band's mega-hits, "MMMBop" and "Where's the Love," contains a fine sampling of the band's lesser-known but no less appealing fare, including some of Hanson's surprisingly introspective later work.
With their unavoidably catchy 1997 smash "MMMBop," family pop act Hanson kept the bubblegum torch lit for a new generation of teenyboppers and sweet-toothed pop fans. Like the disposable, sugary classics that came before it, "MMM Bop" was not to be questioned, it was to be hummed. The three brothers released several albums in the decade following that hit, all of which performed respectably on the charts and showed an increasing musical maturity. Still, while they're not one-hit-wonders in the true sense of the term, Hanson will forever be remembered for that delicious piece of pop-music candy called "MMMBop."
