Radiohead Meets Aguilera on CD

- (Wall of Sound) - What do 'N Sync's "Bye, Bye, Bye," Macy Gray's "I Try," Radiohead's "Optimistic," and Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady" have in common?









They are all up for (or are on albums up for) Grammy Awards. And the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences, in conjunction with Capitol Records, is rolling all the nominees onto a new CD collection, 2001 Grammy Nominees.









NARAS has released similar compilations over the past seven years, and this year's edition comes in three volumes: a general CD, due Feb. 6; an R&B/Rap CD, also due Feb. 6; and a Latin CD, due Feb. 13.









Though the disc may juxtapose some strongly contrasting material ? Eminem and Joni Mitchell? ? NARAS president and CEO Michael Greene is not concerned. "The eclectic mix of tracks contained on the compilations provides a great way for the consumer to hear many different genres of music, which in turn brings them back to the store to buy many of the artists' entire albums," he said in a statement. "We anticipate unprecedented sales on this evergreen project which will once again benefit the important work of the Grammy Foundation."









If the success of the chart-topping Now That's What I Call Music compilations is any indication, he may be right.









A portion of the profits from sales of the CDs will benefit the Grammy Foundation's music-education programs.









The Grammy Awards will be held Feb. 21 at the Staples Center in Los Angeles and broadcast live on CBS.
