Various Artists Super Hero SonyBMG

This summer, Olympic fever is spreading everywhere, even in pop music. ``Super Hero" is a compilation of inspiring songs that will surely uplift the hearts and spirits of Olympic athletes and fans alike. The album contains both new and old songs from John Mayer, Daughtry, Journey and Scorpions.

Most of the tracks are ballads like ``On My Way Home'' by Clay Aiken, ``Something That I Already Know'' by Backstreet Boys, ``Say'' by John Mayer and ``Angel'' by Sarah McLachlan. Expect major airplay for tenor Mario Frangoulis' dramatic rendition of ``Here's to the Heroes.'' To pump up your enthusiasm for the Olympics, listen to dance songs like ``Make Some Noise'' by Krystal Meyers and ``Stamp Your Feet'' by Donna Summer.
