Eight releases, 14 No. 1 radio hits, top reputation as a live act--not bad work if you can get it. That's what the Newsboys have accomplished in 14 years, and the scope and breadth of their success is documented well on this 17-track hits collection. In songs like "Shine," "Take Me to Your Leader," "Spirit Thing," and "Step Up to the Microphone," the Newsboys magically melded a modern pop beat with a strong, spirit-filled message. The end results were endearing radio hits that sounded fresh, vibrant, and nonapologetic for their religious zeal. And that explains why these lads from Australia garner such a buzz in the Christian pop world. The Newsboys never met a pop hook they didn't like, a fact all too apparent when listening to this collection. But they do it so well. Longtime Newsboys fans will appreciate the remake of "God Is Not a Secret," featuring a blistering rap from DC Talk's Toby McKeehan. Three new tracks--"Joy," "Praises," and "Who?"--give listeners a hint of what's to come. --Michael Lyttle

 ALL THE HITS AREN'T HERE February 23, 2008
Certainly its a worthy collection of Newsboys hits but for the record there are quite a few missing. They could have pre-empted the overbearing "I Got Your Number" and the Mega-Mix for engaging #1 songs like "Truth or Consequences", "Real Good Thing" and "Let It Go".
Other skipped Top 10 hits include:
Strong Love
Beautiful Sound
One Heart (their 1st hit in 1991)
Good Stuff
Be Still
Love, Liberty Disco (no loss not having that one!)
It's hard to underestimate the effect this album had on my life. February 7, 2008
I think this was the first Christian rock album I received, a long, long time ago. I've listened to it hundreds of times, and my first copy is pretty worn out. But every time I listen to it, as I am right now, I remember how enchanted I was when I first heard it, and I relive it. What a great album, probably my one of my absolute favorites. My favorite song is "Shine" but only by a narrow margin. These songs are all joyful and worshipful, and in my opinion this is the best Christian rock album made to date.
A Great Greatest Hits For A Great Band January 10, 2008
The Newsboys is a great 90's band, not so much in the new millenium, but in the 90's, the ruled. "Breakfast" is one of the greatest songs of all time, and classic Newsboys. There's so many great songs on here, and they did a great job with the song selection. And there's new tracks, the best of which is "Joy". The song definitely shows the sound of the band in the new millenium. O, did I forget "Mega-Mix"? Great re-mix song that covers most of the songs on the album. It would have been great to see the re-mix album done with expanded mixes herd here, but this is a great addition to the album.
Overall, a great greatest hits album, for a great band. They did them well around this time, and even though they didn't have bonus DVD's, I would still recommend getting this. There's a new greatest hits collection coming out this fall, that'll have a DVD, but it won't have the quality of songs found here. They'll leave out some great songs, and they won't have my buy. But this is great.
All the Hits! May 14, 2007
What a mix this is for the Newsboys!
I got all my favorite songs in one CD. Captain Crunch (Breakfast), Shine...Wooyoo!
It is a delight to just spin their hits!

These guys are great: full of fun, full of faith, full of great music. In trying to keep up with my son's love of contemporary Christian music, I fell in love with the style of the "Newsboys" and bought this album. Yeah, their music is quirky and loud, but I'm not dead yet, so I like to have fun with my "tunes." This is soooo NOT "Rock of Ages," but soooo honors Jesus! It's guaranteed to get you smiling, tapping your feet, and banging your head in praise of God. And these are only some of the Newsboy's hits! Look around, there's a new album out called "GO" with the best song yet.
