From exposing her erotic side on her 2002 "Stripped" album to emulating pinup dolls in videos like "Candy Man" and "Ain't No Other Man" on "Back to Basics" in 2006, Christina Aguilera is all about reinventing herself. Now, with the Nov. 11 release of "Keeps Getting Better: A Decade of Hits," which will be sold exclusively in Target, the 27- year -old singer is reinventing some old hits. The album includes new versions of "Genie in a Bottle" and "Beautiful," titled "Genie 2.0" and "You Are What You Are (Beautiful)," respectively, plus the new songs "Keeps Getting Better" and "Dynamite." Staples such as "Dirty," "Come On Over" and "Hurt" also appear. Produced by longtime collaborator Linda Perry, the new and remixed tracks all feature "futuristic sounds with beats driven more toward dance music," Aguilera says. "This time around, I'm playing with this superhero element based on the fact that

fans have grown up with me since I was 17 and have continu- ally supported my changes throughout the years." "Keeps Getting Better" is already selling well online. It sold 144,000 copies in its debut frame the week of Oct. 5 and is at 331,000 in four weeks. A Peter Berg- directed video premiered Oct. 27 on iLike and the music social networking site's Face - book application, making Aguilera the first major artist to use iLike for a video premiere. The album-which follows recent Target exclusives with John Legend, Carrie Underwood and the Jonas Brothers -will come in standard and deluxe editions, the latter including a DVD with videos for all the tracks on the album. A slew of animated TV commercials sponsored by Target will begin airing next month, according to RCA senior VP of marketing Scott Seviour. The album cover will also be printed on every Target receipt during release week, and when buyers call Target stores nationwide, they will hear a prerecorded greeting from Aguilera. Fans who "Keeps Getting Better" serves as a sneak preview for the artist's "The album is very pop and very upbeat, and it's inspired by pre -order from Target.com will receive "Keeps Getting Better" next studio album, which she says will arrive in summer 2009 [Andy] Warhol and the late -'60s scene," says Seviour, who adds as a free download, and those who buy the album will also get and will be mostly produced by Perry. that Aguilera has been in the studio as often as she can, consid- a free ringtone for the song.
