    The first edition will feature tracks by Marco Antonio Solis, Grupo Montez de Durango and Jenni Rivera, among others. The set will hit retail shelves September 16.

    "Everyone who's had a top 10 hit in the last 14 months is in there," Fonovisa/Disa president Gustavo Lopez said.

    Lopez describes "Idolos" as the regional Mexican version of the long-running "Now That's What I Call Music!" compilation series. Although "Now" has a Latin series in place, its repertoire has been largely pop- and reggaeton-driven.
