Hits Today Karaoke Introduction
The Hits Today Karaoke series is a collection of discs with non-vocal and guide-vocal tracks. There are two series associated with this karaoke label.
Because they come from the same manufacturer, SouthEast Music, they are together on one info page rather than having separate info pages. However, be aware that the parent company is Stellar.
These CDGs came from the nineties, when there was a boom in karaoke sales and manufacturers were quick to churn out as many discs as possible. The company no longer produces CDGs.
Country Hits Today Karaoke Series
The Country Hits Today Karaoke series is a collection of discs with non-vocal and guide-vocal tracks. In other words, the first half of the disc has traditional instrumental karaoke tracks. Meanwhile, the second half of the disc has with-vocal versions.
That is ideal for those wishing to learn a new song because it gives you an idea of how it is sung. However, many karaoke disc collectors think discs like this are a waste of space. But this comes down to personal choice, of course. Let us know how you view karaoke songs with guide vocals.
When CDGs have guide vocals like these, only half of the disc has unique songs. So, if a disc says there are 20 tracks, only 10 original karaoke songs are on that disc.
Pop Hits Today Karaoke Series
Let us move on to the other series in this karaoke collection, Pop Hits. Of course, while the country music series above concentrated on that genre, this series features pop music.
The format for these Pop Hits Today Karaoke discs is similar to the country CDGs above. In other words, the first half of the CDG has traditional music karaoke tracks.
In contrast, the second half of the disc has the same songs, but those have guide vocals. More information about this topic is here.
Again, because these karaoke discs have guide vocal tracks, only half of the songs are unique.

Hits Today Karaoke Review
The splash screens on these discs are bright and beautiful. Of course, they show either Country Hits Today or Pop Hits Today, depending on the chosen genre. However, there is no end screen. In other words, it just goes blank.
The on-screen lyrics keep the time better than most, which we love and is a breath of fresh air. The words are big and bold but have an outline, which is their only downfall. They are perfectly legible, of course. However, we prefer simple lyrics for more clarity.
The choice of backing music is excellent, and the sound is sparklingly clear. The discs are run-of-the-mill CDGs, but the sleeves show fantastic female singers in various poses.
Karaoke Song Sample
Although we may use numerous songs for the review, we only provide one sample video to represent the label. So, the song sample for our video presentation is PHT9908-06 – Jennifer Lopez – IF I Had My Love.
Our Verdict
- On-screen Lyrics: 4
- Music Content: 4.5
- Splash Screen, Graphics, Video: 3.5
- Cover Art: 4 (if only for the beautiful models they chose)
- Overall Average: 4
- Music And Lyrics Average: 4.25
We gave this collection 4 out of 5 in the rating system below. You can also vote for these, even if you don’t have the discs or tracks. Indeed, all you need to do is watch our presentation video above and judge that.
Desirability Factor
There are not too many discs in the series above. But the available karaoke discs are decent. For casual karaoke buyers, we recommend them. However, that is not the case for those on a budget and collecting as many karaoke songs as possible. For those people, we recommend the Top Hits Monthly collection. Indeed, most of these songs will be available in that set.

Hits Today Karaoke Songbook
We also have a songbook to accompany all the discs in the list above. However, there could be missing discs from the series, so it’s over to you on that score!
We give thanks to those who responded to our call for more information. But, because we suspect that this label is incomplete, we feel that other discs may exist. We will update it once we find the missing discs, of course.
