Big Shiny Tunes
''Big Shiny Tunes'' is a series of rock albums featuring Various Artists compiled and released by the Canadian music television station MuchMusic, and through MusiquePlus in Quebec, beginning in 1996. The best-selling album of the series was ''Big Shiny Tunes 2'', which was certified Diamond in Canada (1,000,000 units) by the CRIA on March 25, 1998.〔(CRIA.ca )〕 It has been cited as the best-selling album series in Canadian history,〔Tom Harrison, "Big Shiny Tunes finds big niche: Compilation albums reflect modern rock and sell millions in Canada," ''The Province,'' Vancouver, B.C.: January 13, 2002, pg. B.5.〕〔Chapters, "(Big Shiny Tunes 10 )," URL accessed February 17, 2006.〕 with 5 million albums sold in ten years.〔CNW Group, "(MuchMusic Celebrates 10 Years of 'Big Shiny Tunes' )," November 10, 2005, URL accessed February 17, 2006.〕
==Characteristics==
The ''Big Shiny Tunes'' albums are each thought to be composed of a combination of rock songs that are major hits by well-known artists, less successful songs by well-known artists and songs by more obscure artists, released in the same year as the albums' publication.〔Ivan Danielewicz, "(Spun )," Gauntlet Publications Society, University of Calgary, February 05, 2004, URL accessed February 17, 2006.〕 There are a combination of Canadian, British and American performers. One common feature among the selected artists is that they are attached to Universal Music, Warner Bros., EMI Music Canada, and/or MuchMusic, who come together to produce ''Big Shiny Tunes'' albums.〔 The most frequently appearing band in the Big Shiny Tunes series is Nickelback, who appeared on 7 releases in the series (Big Shiny Tunes 5, 7-11, and 14.)
Part of the appeal of the series is that those who do not usually buy albums will find ''Big Shiny Tunes'' provides several well-known songs, as opposed to a CD by a single artist whose non-single tracks may be relatively unfamiliar.〔 The music is aimed at teenagers and young adults.〔Raymond J. Arsenault, "Big Shiny Tunes really shining," ''Journal- Pioneer'', Summerside, Prince Edward Island: November 27, 1999, pg. A.7.〕 There has been some criticism of consistency in regards to the use of censored versus uncensored versions of songs from album to album (''Big Shiny Tunes 6'' carried a label stating that some songs contained coarse language, while the previous and following albums had censored songs by Matthew Good, Limp Bizkit, Staind, Not By Choice and Wheatus).
In addition to the ordinary albums in the series, MuchMusic also released albums that compile the biggest hits across a span of years, such as ''Big Shiny 80s'' (2005) that included classics like Billy Idol's "White Wedding." There have also been two volumes of ''Big Shiny 90s'' released.
