Mucho Azúcar - Grandes Éxitos is a greatest hits album by Spanish duo Azúcar Moreno, released on Sony International in 1997.

Following the success of 1996 album Esclava De Tu Piel and its string of hit singles Azúcar Moreno released their first career retrospective, Mucho Azúcar - Grandes Éxitos, (roughly translated as Lots of Sugar - Greatest Hits). The compilation covers their hits from 1988 through to 1997, thus excluding material from their first two albums recorded for EMI Music, starting with their Spanish breakthrough single "Debajo Del Olivo", the version used is however not the remixed house music hit version, subtitled Mix in Spain, later included on the remix albums Mix In Spain (1989) and The Sugar Mix Album (1990) but the original album version from 1988's Carne De Melocotón. Mucho Azúcar continues with four titles from their international breakthrough album Bandido including the title track "Bandido" with which they represented Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 1990 in Zagreb, Yugoslavia and finished fifth, the follow-up "Ven Devórame Otra Vez", "Oye Como Va"/"Guajira" and "A Caballo". The 1991 album Mambo is represented by just two of the five singles released; the title track "Mambo" and "Tu Quieres Mas (Porque Te Amo)" - lead single "Torero!" is consequently omitted. "Hazme El Amor" is the only track from 1992's Ojos Negros, while the compilation features two tracks from 1994's El Amor; the title track "El Amor" which also appeared in the Hollywood movie The Specialist and "No Será Facil" and finally three tracks from the duo's at the time most recent album Esclava De Tu Piel, "Sólo Se Vive Una Vez", "Hoy Tengo Ganas De Ti" and the title track "Esclava De Tu Piel".

Mucho Azúcar also features one new recording, "Muévete Salvaje", just like Esclava De Tu Piel produced by Ricardo "Eddy" Martinez, which turned into another big hit single for the Salazar sisters. The single was released as two different editions, one as a double A-side with 1990's "Bandido" (some pressings mistakingly claim that the track is a new remix by Raúl Orellana - the version appearing on all editions is in fact the original album version). The second single was entitled Mucho Azúcar Remixes - Muévete Salvaje Y Otros Remixes and was an eight track E.P., including four versions of "Muévete Salvaje", the Radio Edit, the Hard Funk Mix, the Hard Core Flamenco Mix and the original Mucho Azúcar album version, plus "Oye Como Va"/"Guajiro" and "Debajo Del Olivo" - both remixes from The Sugar Mix Album, as well as "Hava Naguila" (Broken House Remix) and "Sólo Se Vive Una Vez" (Euroflam Mix).

While Sony Music have continued to release hits compilations with Azúcar Moreno all through the 2000s, such as Toda La Pasión De Azúcar Moreno (2001), Colleción De Oro (2002), 20 Grandes Exitos (2003), Los Esenciales (2003) and 20 Exitos Originales (2005) as well as numerous mid-price collections, none of these include any new recordings or tracks not to be found on their three subsequent studio albums for the Sony label.

Mucho Azúcar - Grandes Éxitos was in 1999 re-released with slightly revised cover art but with the same track list under the title 20th Anniversary (1979-1999) as the Sony Latin label, originally CBS-Epic Latin, celebrated its 20th anniversary.

Olé is the ninth studio album by Spanish duo Azúcar Moreno, released on Sony International in 1998.

After the commercial success of the 1996 album Esclava De Tu Piel which had produced five hit singles followed by "Muévete Salvaje" from the 1997 hits compilation Mucho Azúcar - Grandes Éxitos, Azúcar Moreno teamed up with producer Ricardo "Eddy" Martinez in Miami again for the recording of 1998 album Olé. The album included further original material from Spanish singer Miguel Gallardo and Luis Cabañas, the team that had composed most of the singles on the preceding Esclava De Tu Piel, collaborations between Gallardo and David Ferrero and Pedro del Moral, songs by producer Richardo "Eddy Martinez" and it also saw one of the Salazar sisters, Encarna, making her debut as composer on the track "Dime Que Me Quieres". Production-wise Olé followed the winning combination of up-to-date club beats fused with flamenco and rock and contrasting R&B influenced ballads and rumbas, arrangement-wise the album differed slightly to its predecessor as it featured live strings on several titles. The album also closes with the acoustic "No Pretenderás", with instrumentation of just flamenco guitars and palmas - and a guest appearance by the duo's brothers Los Chunguitos.

The lead single was the title track "Olé", just like "Sólo Se Vive Una Vez" musically influenced by contemporary dance genres like reggaeton and dancehall but, as the title suggests, lyrically a tribute to the duo's native Spain. The track was also released as two separate remix singles, the second entitled Olé - The Summer '99 Remixes featuring the track remixed and with additional production by renowned Latin remixer, DJ, music producer and arranger Pablo Flores, best known for being Gloria Estefan's personal remixer but also for having co-produced major hits for among others Madonna, Chayanne, Shakira and Ricky Martin. Flores' Club Mix of "Olé" was substantially rearranged from the original, not just by speeding up the tempo for the dancefloor but by adding new orchestration of brass, flamenco guitars and castanets to emphasize the song's lyrics and the track proved to be another big hit single for Azúcar Moreno in both Spain and Latin America.

The second single released was "Mecachis!" ("Mechachis en la mar" a mildly profane expression, roughly translated as "Damnit!"), a midtempo dance track again written by Migue Gallardo and Luis Cabañas and also issued with series of dance remixes on the single.

Further hit singles from the album included 1998 "No Pretenderás", "Cumbaya", "Ese Beso" and "Agua Que No Has De Beber".

While Olé didn't manage to match the extraordinary sales figures of the preceding Esclava De Tu Piel - half a million in Spain alone - it did sell some two-hundred thousand copies and was later awarded double platinum in Spain.

'Forever Diana: Musical Memoirs' is a four-CD box set of recordings by the singer Diana Ross released by Motown Records in 1993.

In addition to all of her eighteen #1 hits, the seventy-seven track set contained five previously unreleased tracks.

Disc 1 collects Ross' greatest hits with the Supremes from 1964 to 1969, disc 2 covers her early solo career from her eponymous debut album through to the 1978 soundtrack The Wiz, disc 3 her disco era hits with Chic and her recordings for the RCA label up until 1985's "Chain Reaction" and disc 4 collects tracks from her then most recent studio albums Workin' Overtime (1989) and The Force Behind the Power (1991) together with five newly recorded tracks as well as three previously unreleased live recordings.

While Forever Diana: Musical Memoirs undoubtedly is the most comprehensive retrospective of Ross' career to date, with its seventy-seven tracks and a total running time of near 300 minutes, the box set received mixed reviews from both fans and music critics on its release, mainly for omitting a number of her greatest hits and signature tunes from the 70's and 80's - including no tracks from either 1983's Ross or 1987's Red Hot Rhythm & Blues - but also for using edited 7" versions of both "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Love Hangover" instead of the original full-length album versions that have been featured on a number of other best of compilations issued by Motown Records/Universal Music both before and since.
