By “important” I mean that it didn’t just become hugely popular, but it also changed a music genre or launched an entirely new one, or otherwise made a huge impact on music in general.

    Kidz Bop volume 1 launched an empire of children performing family friendly covers of pop songs that continues to weaken the fabric of humanity to this day.

      I always thought Kidz Bop was just a cheap knock-off of the Mini Pops (Not to be confused with the Mini Pop Kids), especially since the first Kidz Bop album came out 18 years after “We’re the Mini Pops” rose to the top of the charts.
