Come Get It: The Very Best of Aaron Carter is the secondgreatest hits album by American singerAaron Carter released on January 17, 2006, byJive Records andLegacy Recordings.
The album received mixed reviews, withChartAttack calling it inexplicable.[4]
Come Get It: The Very Best of Aaron Carter is the fifth and final overall album released under theJive Records label. Carter's recording career had come to a halt since his lawsuit againstLou Pearlman in 2003.[5][6] By 2006, Carter had begun to transition away from recording and into reality television with the premiere of the reality showHouse of Carters.[7]
Writing forAllMusic,Stephen Thomas Erlewine praises the compilation for its tighter and more concise approach to Carter's discography, compared to 2003'sMost Requested Hits. Erlewine also notes the omission of "Shake It", Carter's first hit, and Carter's cover of "Surfin' USA", both tracks present on his debut album.[3]
Track 1, "Aaron's Party (Come Get It)" peaked at #35 on theBillboard Hot 100 the week of September 16, 2000.[8]
Tracks 6 and 7 did not chart but were part of a landmark cross-promotion deal between Nickelodeon Records and Jive Records.[9]
Track 9, "I'm All About You", landed on Top 40 radio in 2002.[10]
Despite both charting in the Top 10 in the United Kingdom, neither "Crush on You" or "Crazy Little Party Girl" appear on this compilation.[11] No definitive statement was given for their omission, however Carter is known to dislike his debut album and original singing voice.[12] This was the second compilation album of his, after 2003'sMost Requested Hits where no songs from his debut album were featured.
