Notes
  • ^a signifies an additional producer
  • "Hey DJ / I Can't Dance (To That Music You're Playing)" is a reworking of "I Can't Dance to That Music You're Playing" by Martha Reeves and the Vandellas.
  • "Boo Is Booming" samples "Montego Bay" by Bobby Bloom.
  • "Doin' the Do" samples the 1968 song "Captain of Your Ship" by Reparata and the Delrons.
  • At least one CD release, as well as the vinyl, did not have the last two "bonus" tracks from the original release of Boomania. The UK cassette includes the bonus tracks, but "Doin' the Do (7" Radio Mix)" is moved to the end of side one, after "Valentine's Day".

(1999)

In 1999, an apparent Betty Boo greatest hits album was released but is effectively a slightly expanded version of Boomania as no material from Boo's second album, GRRR! It's Betty Boo, is included. Called Doin' the Do: The Best of Betty Boo, it consists of all the tracks from Boomania in a slightly different order, alongside extended versions of two of its singles, a remix, and a megamix. Its cover art is a mirrored version of the photo from the front of Boomania with the addition of Betty Boo's signature and minor digital alterations. These new tracks were all included on the 2016 deluxe reissue of Boomania.
