This is a very good CD no doubt about it but the reason i haven't given it 5 stars is because a handful of decent enough tracks aren't here! For instance where are?
JLS feat. Dev - She Makes Me Wanna - We get 'Take a Chance on Me' instead.
Cher Lloyd - Swagger Jagger - We get 'With Ur Love' instead.
Nero - Promises - Their previous single, 'Guilt' was included in 'Now 79' so why isn't this one on here?
Nicole Scherzinger - Right There - Again her previous single 'Don't Hold Your Breath' was included on 'Now 79' and Posion was on 'Now 78' this one charted just as high as posion but somehow didn't make it.
Jennifer Lopez feat. Lil Wayne - I'm Into You
Beyonce - Best Thing I Never Had - Followed the trend from 'Now 79' really, 'Run the World (Girls)' wasn't on there, so they probably decided not to put this song on here.
David Guetta feat. Taio Cruz & Ludacris - Little Bad Girl - We get 'Without You' instead.
The Black Eyed Peas - Don't Stop the Party
LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It - One of the most obvious ones yet. I haven't a clue why this song isn't on here.
Delilah - Go - Another obvious one. A real shame this one wasn't included.
Katy B - Easy Please Me
Chris Brown feat. Justin Bieber - Next 2 You
Benny Benassi feat. Gary Go - Cinema
Snow Patrol - Called Out in the Dark - I'm a fan of Snow Patrol, just bought their new album, this song is better than 'Just Say Yes' and 'Take Back the City' and they featured in 'Now 71' and '74' respectively.
Coldplay - Paradise - I'll take back what i originally said, seeming as this song reached number 1 last sunday it will more than likely appear on Now 81.
Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks
That's just about all the obvious ones i can think of. All the ones i haven't put a description beside aren't so obvious as the ones i have commented on. If i write the Now 80 tracklist i would axe the following songs and put a couple in the above list on instead:-
Lana Del Rey - Video Games
Sean Paul feat. Alexis Jordan - Got 2 Luv U
Maverick Sabre - I Need
Now there is one song i was quite surprised to see on here and that's 'The Edge of Glory' by Lady Gaga. That song is months old now and would have been better off on Now 79 really. I thought exactly the same thing with 'Born This Way' being on Now 79, thought it was too old for the tracklist and should have been on 'Now 78'. Anyhow its got to be the oldest song on here no question.
Despite all the crticism i've given the CD so far, it still has some great tracks on it such as 'We Found Love' by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris, 'What Makes You Beautiful' by One Direction, 'Heart Skips a Beat' by Olly Murs, 'Iris' by the Goo Goo Dolls, 'Set Fire to the Rain' by Adele, 'It Girl' by Jason Derulo, 'Feel So Close' by Calvin Harris, 'Stay Awake' by Example and 'Party All Night (Sleep All Day)' by Sean Kingston.
Another thing i'd like to add is the fact Disc 2 actually has more number 1's than Disc 1 which is surely a first for the series. Usually Disc 1 has the majority of the Number 1's. However, i've noticed that they've been fairer with all 3 Now CD's this year. (Now 78, 79 and 80) Now 78 had six number ones :- 3 on Disc 1, 3 on Disc 2, Now 79 had ten:- 6 on Disc 1, and 4 on Disc 2 and this one has 4 on Disc 1, and 5 on Disc 2. This also has 1 more track(s) than Now 78 and 1 fewer than Now 79.
But on the whole a very good CD which might just better last Winter's release of Now 77 (which i personally thought was slightly disapointing) and Now 78 but maybe not so good as the brilliant summer blockbuster Now 79. But if you like all of the latest chart hits and a bit of variety to your music, buy this CD!

This is a decent album and good value. Great it isn't.
The makers have done their best with the material at their disposal, but unlike the previous 4 albums there are no more than about 10 really outstanding tracks, which are supplemented by a good number of reasonable ones.
Never the less, still a pretty decent sample from the charts since the last album and an obvious option for the festive system.

Well what can I say. After the fantastic Summer Now 79, the people at Now have put a very disappointing compilation together. I think 10yrs from now there would only be, probably 4 songs on here that would be memorable.
I have been collecting them since Now 21 and this must be their worst. There are about 8 songs on here that I have never heard before and that are not even in the charts.
The Now team promote their work as all the latest and greatest tracks together on the ultimate cd, where in fact, due to licensing agreements etc there are many of the top charted songs that the NOW team are not allowed to add to their compilation, but instead fill the gaps with this mediocre dribble. Unfortunately they do not have every released song at their disposal, so all you NOW fans stop beating yourself up about "why this track wasn't on?" and "can't believe they didn't add this track on", it's because they can't. They literally have at their disposal what they have managed to put together for this very sad compilation. That's the truth of it. Also, you can request as many times as you want before they release their compilation, but it really doesn't help either, they just use the mood to see if fans like any of their hits in their arsenal. The TRUTH of it really, is so obvious. Have you noticed that there has never, in the past 20yrs been a Madonna song on the NOW series. Well that's because they don't have access to her collection. That's one example.
CD 1 is awful. I could slit my writs. There are about 5 songs on there worth talking about.
CD 2 is better but also disappointing. A lot of 2nd rate artists on here.
They have missed so many gems, Beyonce, Foster the People, J Lo and the list goes on.
Also exhausted to see every time that the tired SATURDAYS and JLS always seem to make the grade. So tired of their relentless promotion of their home grown British poppy bands. All too predictable.
I might have to stop collecting now, I also do think that music in general has deteriorated and the absolute crap being churned out by the studios around the world leaves much to be desired. I think the Music Industry in general is all about the money now and they now have a huge problem, CREATIVE BLOCK, in a big way. It's all been done before. It's a sad day for music.
Come on NOW TEAM get with the programme it's not that kind of party, give us what we want and stop telling us that what we are going to get in fact is not what we recieve. UGGGhhhhhh!!!

Good music collection
Another Music collection from Now Music. There's not a lot to say about it. Anyone who's walked into a club or listened to the radio recently should be able to recognise the songs. Read more
