The Jock series is a superseries of sports anthem music albums started by Tommy Boy Records and ESPN in 1994.

Albums in the Jock Jams series mainly consist of 1980s and 1990s dance and house music, as well as hip hop, classic disco, mashups, and cheerleaders and other sports figures saying phrases.

"[5] Napster, and the wave of piracy it introduced in the early 2000s, affected the music industry in huge ways.

With Napster, anyone could illegally download any Jock series compilation without paying for a physical copy.

[6] Following its commercial success over 6 albums, its downfall is marked by the rise of Napster, the slow adaptation of the sporting industry, and loss of song rights controlled by 4 big labels in the late 90s/early 2000s.
