Now 61 - now thats a cd
in my opinion this is the best (and remains to be the best) Now cd for a long time. jam packed with hits and almost no fillers

has been on my cd player pretty much since i got it last year. hi-lights include the gorillaz, tu-pac and elton john, will smith and hard fi

well worth buying

Now That's What I Call.. another unbiased review (3.5 stars)
Coldplay, Gorillaz, Oasis, err Crazy Frog? Yes, it can only be volume 61 of the ever-popular Now series with yet another bumper 2cd edition of 43 top chart hits - as says at the back, and as always a debatable topic - mind you 7 no 1's is nothing to be sniffed at, even though the frog and Mcfly are amongst the batch (sigh).
The inescapable (and recent US no.1) You're Beautiful kicks things off here with the summer smash from James Blunt and is followed by the excellent Ghetto Gospel, Speed Of Sound and Feel Good Inc which opens up cd1 in brilliant style, a rarity of some kind in recent editions. Black Eyed Peas, Audio Bullys, Bodyrockers, Kaiser Chiefs, Hard-fi, Rob Thomas etc keep up the pace for the majority of the album, but dear oh dear - cd2 (gulp).
Mario's Let Me Love You, Will Smith's Switch, Gwen Stefani's Rich Girl are all bright sparks on an otherwise infuriating side 2, with Nasty Girl, Lonely, Roc Ya Body and So Good facing the wrath of this particular reviewer and less said about that poxy amphibian the better - who actually bought that mess?
But Tony Christie's 70's classic (no, not Amarillo) Avenues And Alleyways and Heather Small's hope song to end all hope songs Proud are all nice touches to finish off on a somewhat rewarding note - but my god, the songs you have to endure to get there!!

To Hot To Handle
Summer 2005 with the best of pop, RnB, dance and rock. 6 Number ones from akon, james blunt, crazy frog and Mcfly. also amazing summer tunes from crazy charlotte church and sizzling RnB like Don't phunk with my heart, N Day Say. and also the anthem for the 2012 olympics. Dance from Audio Bully's =-Shot you down. A Perfect summer cd

Awful second disc...
First disc has some great tracks but the second disc is truly awful. I can't even listen to 1 second of that Akon track without wanting to go on a killing spree and as for Crazy Frog - well I live in Germany and this "klingeltone" garbage is very popular here - it's sickeningly sad to see it achieving big success in the UK. The rest of disc 2 is mainly "miss" rather than "hit" but I don't think anything approaches the stomach churning sounds of Akon and Crazy Frog.

Now thats not what I call music!
I recently purchased the Now 61 album. The first cd was very good and I enjoyed listening to it. Unfortunately, the second cd is useless! Its a shame that a double album can only produce one decent cd!
