This is HOT

Packed with over a dozen sensational career-spanning hits and two new chart-topping songs, “Dance Again…The Hits,” will be released on July 24th on Epic Records, and marks Jennifer Lopez’s first-ever greatest hits package.  The stellar new tracks are “Goin’ In” (featuring Flo Rida) and “Dance Again” (featuring Pitbull). “Dance Again” has sold more than 1.4 million copies worldwide since its March 2012 debut, and reached #1 on the Billboard Dance/Club Play Chart.  On May 10th, Jennifer sizzled on stage while performing “Dance Again” on American Idol, as well as executing a scorching version of “Goin In” on the American Idol finale. “Dance Again” finds Lopez, Pitbull and producer RedOne teaming up as they did for “On the Floor,” which is also on “Dance Again…The Hits.”  2011’s “On The Floor” is Lopez’s most successful single to date, topping more than 18 national single charts and selling over three million copies. The deluxe edition of “Dance Again…The Hits” includes the bonus tracks “All I Have,” “Que Hiciste” (from Lopez’s first full-length Spanish-language album, 2007’s Como ama una Mujer) and “Let’s Get Loud,” plus a DVD with all the smash videos from the album. Both versions of “…The Hits” feature her May 1999 chart debut, “If You Had My Love,” Lopez’s trademark “Jenny From The Block,” as well as hit collaborations and remixes with Fabolous, Ja Rule, Fat Joe and others. The multi-talented international superstar has sold over 70 million records worldwide, 11.8 million albums in the United States, and scored 11 #1 hits, making her one of the best-selling artists of all time, establishing “Dance Again…The Hits” as a must-have musical retrospective.
