This Is the Remix is a remix album by American R&B group Destiny's Child. The album's name is a self explanatory message taken from the first track "No, No, No" Part 2 and is a collection of their remixes. The album consists of a blend of R&B and dance remixes recorded from 1997 to 2002. The album was released on March 8, 2002 (see 2002 in music) and debuted and peaked at number 29 on the U.S. Billboard 200.

The album

The album is a collection of the most relevant remixes of Destiny's Child (and some bonus tracks). It is especially notable for containing several resung remixes. The first of these resung remixes (and their first "remix" ever), "No, No, No (Part II)" is present on this collection. Other major urban remixes that have been resung include "Say My Name (Timbaland Remix)", "Bootylicious (Rockwilder Remix), "Bug A Boo" (Refugee Camp Remix), and "Emotion (Neptunes Remix)". In terms of major urban remixes that have not been resung, the album also collects the "Survivor (Remix)" which features Da Brat.

The album is completely littered with R&B remixes, and features dance remixes mainly remixed by Maurice Joshua. His remixes on this album include "Bills, Bills, Bills" (Maurice's Xclusive Livegig Mix)", "Nasty Girl (Azza's Nu Soul Mix)", and "So Good (Maurice's Soul Remix)", with the latter having re-recorded vocals. In terms of other dance mixes, the album also contains a dance/rhythmic remix of "Dot (E-Poppi Mix)" (the original was featured on the "Charlie's Angels Soundtrack".

As mentioned above, the album also contains some bonus tracks that don't quite fit the traditional mold of a strictly dance or R&B remix. First, the album contains a remix medley of "Jumpin' Jumpin'" that blends the So So Def Remix of the song featuring original members LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson with the Maurice's Jumpin Retro Mix in a nonstop, but seamless hybrid. This mix of the song is a rare remix exclusive only to this album, which also contains vocals by Michelle Williams and Farrah Franklin. The album goes on with the bonus tracks by including "Independent Women (Part II), which is supposed to be the second part of the song (but ironically, this part was written before "Independent Women (Part I)". The album finally reaches closure and ends with a bonus track, Michelle Williams's first single from her first album, the gospel influenced "Heard A Word" with a distinct sax sound which was later removed for the album version.

Chart success

The album was intended as a stopgap for fans of Destiny's Child. It was relatively successful with the remix album revolution of 2002 (that started with Jennifer Lopez's 2002 remix album). This Is The Remix debuted at #29 on the Billboard 200 selling over 37,000 copies in its first week, but after only seven weeks, the album which wasn't well promoted, had fallen off the chart and has to date sold an estimated 100,000 copies in the US. It performed best in New Zealand where it debuted at #8, this is the only country where it made the top ten as it was a relative flop in most markets selling just 750,000 copies worldwide.
