[edit] Music video

The Megamix video was released to promote her album Greatest Hits: My Prerogative. The music video released is for a shortened version for the "Chris Cox Megamix", which omits the songs "Outrageous" and "Overprotected". This is not officially a music video, as it is parts of other music videos.It is a combination of the videos from all the songs contained, plus clips of her other videos. For unknown reasons the music videos for "Born to Make You Happy" and "My Prerogative" are not included on any time, not even at the end when the full compilation of music videos is shown. The video was successful on several video charts. For promotion, the music video of the megamix was included on the DualDisc edition of In the Zone album. Also the video was included on the Taiwanese CD single.
