At 24, I'm probably much older than the average listener to this CD. I even remember when Now (1) came out (I must be truly ancient then!) Granted, the earlier albums didn't exactly sparkle from start to finish either (it was the mid-80's after all!) and it would be unfair to expect a truly great pop compilation album every six months, but I can't help feeling that the CD only too well reflects the dearth of good music around these days. Amazing to think that the Britpop boom was a mere 5 years ago, when a CD like this is full of such soon-to-be-forgotten wonders as SClub7, Fragma and Vengaboys. "Now" has a duty to be popular, but it also has a duty to gently introduce some more interesting and inventive music to the pre-teen and school-age audience. That's how genres like garage become so popular. So where are the likes of Death in Vegas, Primal Scream, Charlatans, Super Furry Animals etc etc?
On the plus side, there is the phenomenal "Natural Blues" by Moby, the two great Artful Dodger records and even "Imagine" for those 2 or 3 people who don't already have a copy.
Music should be diverse, it should have its fair representation of pop classics (Never Ever, Baby One More Time, I Try etc show that they are still being written), and if the greatest music isn't at the top of the charts, then compilations like this should bring them in from elsewhere. But they won't, because it may make the series less popular, at least to begin with.
Now that's what I call a cop-out.

The 45th edition of the greatest compilation in the world ever has no less than... 45 HITS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
And all of them are awesome, the album has a lot of number ones and is packaged with John Lennon's classic "Imagine".

As you see, the album only contains 5 non-top ten hits, and they're not so bad as they all made into the top twenty!
Also includes 9 number ones!!! a lot!!!!!!
Well now you know why do you have to buy this! Run and buy it!

This is an excellent CD. It seems to be a milestone (#45) of some sort, the front cover design, 45 tracks (the most for a 'now' I think). Well, the CD itself. CD1 starts off very well. Gabrielle's Rise, Mel C and Left Eye's Never Be The Same Again, along with Craig David's genius creation Fill Me In are all in the Top 10 of the year so far. All the tracks on this side are brilliant. CD2 then. Some massive dance hits, a few RnB anthems jutted in there (including the great Thong Song by Sisqo). The Fragma and Sisqo tracks keep it fresh for time. (These were top 5 the day it came out.) Also, for the first time, some garage, Artful Dodger and Craig David appear twice! At the end it seems to get a little different, as someone else said these tracks obviously wanted to be included but they didn't know where to put them. And it was a GOOD decision to put John Lennon's classic Imagine on here, because many young people buying the CD probably wouldn't have it already. I usually tire of the spring 'Now' edition, but this one has a good summer vibe to it. Better than 46, 47 without a doubt.

Hmmm...not bad....
...but then, not good either. I own a great many compilation CDs, and I have to say that Now 45 is the weakest in recent times. Read more

One of the best Now's of recent times
To put it into simple terms, this CD is excellent. The feel good pop of disc 1 to the garage/trance of disc 2 with a helping of rock and John Lennon to spice up the cd. Read more

A good C.D. but with many songs I could do without.
These are always great value for money as you get a variety of good songs on them. Disc 1 is great as the songs are recognisable and stay in your head. Read more

The Worst Now Album EVER!
This new Now 45 album just proves how the quality of music has gone down in recent months. I can honestly say that every song on this album is reasonably rubbish or terrible. Read more

Good but not the best "now"
Owning all the "now" cds since now 26, i still think they are excellent value for money and provide a good mix of different music types. Read more

I'm a fan of the Now's, and they are great value for money-this being no exception. A great variety of songs all together making irresistable listening! Read more

?
I feel that this album is a mockery to all that is played on the radio. Alot of these artists are talented but are glazed over by this completely mixed up cd. Read more
