At age 15, Aaron Carter turned out to be one of the youngest performers to ever earn a major-label greatest-hits package. The younger brother of Backstreet Boy Nick Carter began performing at seven, releasing his first record at 10. MOST REQUESTED HITS follows an astonishing four original releases and an EP. Therefore, this collection is far from unearned, and offers a good cross-section of the cotton-candy hits of the singer's pre-teen years and the more straightforward boy-band dance-croon of his early teenhood.
MOST REQUESTED HITS opens with the spoken intro from Carter's biggest hit, "here's a little bit of old-school for you" from the '80s-going-on-'90s, funk-infused "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)." That song is from Aaron's third album of the same name, also represented by two songs playing perfectly on his precociousness; a cover of '60s bubblegum classic "I Want Candy" and the self-explanatory dream sequence "That's How I Beat Shaq." On the other side of the spectrum are the fetching torch song "Do You Remember" and the outlandish patriotic chant "America A O," where the teen icon discovers his new voice.
