00:00So you've decided to start collecting CDs, welcome to the club, it's a wonderful and
00:04slightly dangerous hobby. The good news is that starting a pop collection doesn't have to cost
00:09a fortune, and I've spent way too many hours digging through listings to find 5 albums that
00:14are genuinely worth owning. These are the ones with real staying power, great ratings,
00:19and prices that won't make you wince. Let's get into it.
00:23First up, we've got Lana Del Rey's aka Lizzy Grant on CD, and this one's a bit of a cult
00:29favorite. This is the pre-fame record, the one that got pulled and became this whispered about
00:34rarity among fans, and it includes Yayo, which honestly might be one of the most beautiful
00:38things she's ever recorded. At $13.27, it's a really easy yes. Nearly 5,000 of these have sold
00:47with a 4.8 rating, and for a new collector, having something with a bit of backstory on your shelf
00:51feels really good. It's not just an album, it's a conversation starter.
00:57Next, Roxette's 20 greatest hits, and if you're building a pop collection, you need some pure,
01:03unapologetic hooks in there. It must have been Love, Listen to Your Heart, The Look,
01:07This is Swedish pop rock at its absolute peak, and hearing it on CD instead of a compressed stream
01:12genuinely makes a difference. It's $17.93, brand new and still sealed, and it's sitting at a perfect
01:19five-star rating with almost 5,000 sold. Twenty tracks means you're getting a lot of album for
01:25the money, and there isn't a skip on it. Now here's a fun one Ava's Voyage, their comeback record
01:31after nearly 40 years away. I'll be honest, I didn't expect much going in, and then I still have
01:37faith in You've Came On and I got a little emotional in my kitchen. It's warm, it's grown up, and
01:42it sounds
01:43like they never left. At $9.14, this is the cheapest pick on the list and probably the best value
01:50here.
01:51Over 4,500 sold with a 4.9 rating. If you're starting out, a $9 modern classic is exactly the
01:58kind of pickup that builds a collection fast. Coming in at number 4 is Elton John's Diamonds,
02:04and this is the one I'd hand to someone who says they don't know where to start.
02:08It's a proper career-spanning greatest hits Rocketman, Tiny Dancer, Your Song, all of it,
02:13and it's fantastic in the car, which is honestly where CDs still make the most sense.
02:18It's the priciest on the list at $24.70, but you're getting decades of songwriting on one disc,
02:25and it's rated 4.9 with over 4,000 sold. Think of it as the backbone of your collection.
02:31And finally, the Beatles' 127 No. 1 hits on a single CD.
02:36There's really no argument to be made here, if you're collecting pop music,
02:40this is the foundation everything else sits on. Every track topped the charts somewhere in the
02:45world, so it's basically a highlight reel of the most influential band ever. It's $16.99,
02:52brand new and sealed, with a perfect 5-star rating. If you only buy one CD from this whole list,
02:59make it this one, it's the album you'll still be reaching for in 20 years.
