Reason #457 why 1998 was the best year: Delia's started sending those free mix CDs, featuring emerging artists. (Most of whom were promptly forgotten.)
1.The very first Delia's CD, "Super Girls," featured a mix of girl artists (who were presumably "super") made for girl shoppers (also presumably "super").
2.Volume 2 was called "Super Smart." There is a girl wearing glasses on the cover which means listening to this CD made you an intellectual.
3.Volume 3: "Super Cute." PUPPIES!

4."Super Party" was great for playing at sleepovers. Or at your 13th surprise birthday party.

5."Super Cool" promised "no love songs whatsoever!" 'Cause boys: ewwwww.
6."Super Hot": The theme here is kind of unclear as you got a mix of alt-rock, female pop singers, indie sounds, and Spanish boy band music.

7.Then Delia's tried a different theme starting with vol. 1, "In Your Head," presumably songs that "got you"?

8.Volume 2 of this series: "In Your House," tracks for your next house party (that you thought you'd totally get away with).

9.In 2000, Delia's came out with this wintery compilation, "Ice Scream!"

10.This volume — "Change The Subject" — was also an "enhanced CD-ROM"? Awesome.
