All ten songs on the original 1988 release reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. However a 1993 re-issue replaced the two Motown songs ("You Can't Hurry Love" & "Reach Out I'll Be There") as well as Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots are Made for Walkin'" with "When a Man Loves a Woman," "Devil with a Blue Dress On/Good Golly Miss Molly," and "Good Lovin'," subsequently bringing the number of chart toppers down from ten to nine.

Absent from the track lineup were songs by The Beatles and The Rolling Stones. A disclaimer on the back of the album stated that licensing restrictions made tracks from the two bands unavailable for inclusion on the album.

The album was certified Gold by the RIAA on April 2, 1997.[1]
