The franchise has sold more than 16 million albums. The songs are performed by the Kidz Bop Kids, often with lyrics deemed too inappropriate for younger children altered to be more "kid-friendly", although critics of this approach contend that "repackaging adult music as kids' music" does not remove the adult themes even when words or phrases are substituted. The albums are composed of popular songs that chart high on the Billboard Hot 100 and/or receive heavy airplay from contemporary hit radio stations several months ahead of each album's release.
