About The Cassette
The 1996 Hottest 100 compilation album was released July 14th, 1997. It was the fourth compilation of a Hottest 100 countdown and contained 33 songs on two cassettes, featuring the same tracklisting as its CD counterpart.
The inclusion of Garbage's 'Milk (Single Edit - Shirley)' has been the source of some confusion in the past. Two main versions of ‘Milk’ were released on the Australian single; ‘The Wicked Mix’ (which features vocals by Tricky and singer Shirley Manson), and ‘The Siren Mix’ (which is the same as The Wicked Mix without Tricky’s vocals). A promotional version of the single was sent out in 1996 with two versions of the song on it, one called ‘Milk (Single Edit) - Shirley’, and one called ‘Milk (Single Edit) - Shirley & Tricky’. The version included on the CD and cassette releases is actually ‘The Wicked Mix’ and, if the same titles as the ones on the promotional CD were to be used, should be titled as ‘Milk (Single Edit) - Shirley & Tricky’. It is not known why the tracks are listed as such, but it is assumed to be a simple error when it came to using the correct title.
