If their is any blueprint that any singing group should take, it's New Edition. The definition of typified talent, whether solo or forming Voltron, the star power of this group cannot be denied. All The Number Ones is clearly the best N.E. compilation that anyone can buy, featuring the 18 number #1's from their group and solo efforts. What's also great is that some of the versions featured are rare mixes not featured on the corresponding albums. Though I would have loved "Roni" and "I'm Still In Love With You" to be on the album, this is a must for any hardcore New Edition fan.

"Ronnie, Bobbie, Ricky and Mike-
if I like the girl, who cares who you like?"

Whenever I hear "Cool it Now" I'm reminded of my days on the professional break dancing circuit and my appearance (on the cutting room floor sadly) in the film "Breakin' 2: Electric Bugaloo". Sometimes it makes me cry.

I thought that was a Ralph Tresvant song rather than New Edition?

With respect to the reviewer that thinks 'Do Me' is a glaring omission from this collection, I would point out what the title of this album should make plainly obvious...this is a collection of all their Number One hits (on the R&B or Pop charts, or both). While 'Do Me' was a smash, it never reached the top of the charts, and that's why it's not here. All in all, this compilation is chock-full of truly essential songs from a talented group of guys. The remastering is great and the mixes are magical. Enjoy.

Every song on this CD was a hit at one time or another, so if you like pop music, you'll love this CD. The only glaring omission is the song "Do Me" by Bell Biv Devoe. Given how famous (infamous?) this song was during the 90's, I'm amazed it was left off? Seems like a glaring oversight. I would have prefered hit song "Do Me" rather than the radio flop "Humpin' Around" but no big deal. The CD is still worth having for all 90's fans.
