Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Now approaching its half-century, Now That's What I Call Music Vol.48 brings us highlights of the season from the UK Top 40. It is more apparent than ever how diverse popular music has become since its predecessor Now That's What I Call Music Vol.47 was released. Who would have thought back then that we'd be given the angsty rock of Papa Roach ("Last Resort") on the same compilation as Eva Cassidy ("Somewhere Over the Rainbow") and S Club 7 ("Never Had a Dream Come True"). If that was not enough, CD 1 boasts three of the biggest singles from early 2001, the irrepressible Shaggy ("It Wasn't Me), the sing-along Atomic Kitten ("Whole Again") and if you haven't had enough already, everyone's favourite Popstars, Hear'Say ("Pure & Simple"). Whether you're a pop lover or loather, there has to be a song on this compilation to suit any taste from Pop, Rock, Dance, easy listening and er... Bob the Builder. - David Trueman

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic, 12 Jun 2002
By A Customer
A great compilation for all music lovers out there. Massive million sellers like Shaggy, Hear'Say and erm, Bob the Builder are in the same cd as Feeder, nobody else but Now would do it

We start off with the cheese, it's always there but the painful S Club 7 just had to be skipped, it sounds very much as if Jo is having her tonsils removed. However it mixes in with great dance tracks, including the under-sold "Chillin" by Modjo a fantastic record for those who haven't found it. We mix it in with laid back pop including the great summery vibe of Emma Bunton and Kylie Minogue.

CD2 is not quite so good but it has a great R'N B dancevibe to it. Tracks like Papa Roach seem a little out of place on a now CD but Now is moving on. The cool overtunes of Jakatta are irresistiblely soothing, I could listen to it all day. The criminally undersold "Straight Up" by Chante Moore is on here as well as recent hits from Mel B, Mya and Joe. Skip track 19 and you're left with Fun Lovin' Criminals. God knows what he's singing but it sounds great. Well worth it

4.0 out of 5 stars Now 48 just keeps rockin!, 16 Aug 2001
By A Customer
Well what can i say, as an avid fan of music-pop, R'n'B, some dance, some nu-metal etc, i was quite impressed with NOW's 48th effort at acheiving every music fans ideal cd for their stereo. With Papa Roach the only nu metal band on the listings however, it could proove to be a disappointment with Kerrang fans, although i cant see myself those sort of people looking at Now, with the whole of cd one on nearly every Now consisting of cheesy pop, and cd two providing the balance for music fans. However, a classic for the cd stand with every penny's worth well spent on it and definately a big MUST for music fans looking for a great compilation, although it weas released a little late....

3.0 out of 5 stars Would have been great 2 months ago!, 9 April 2001
By A Customer
As with the entire 'NOW' collection, by the time the album is released, one is thoroughly sick of the majority of the tracks. Recent tunes by Atomic Kitten, Gorillaz, Hearsay, and Shaggy were all extremely catchy, but unfortunately have very short shelf-lives. All the more so since one is bombarded by them 24-7 on both Radio 1 and every commercial station across the land. The songs contained on this album are not bad; they're just worn-out. Take my advice: save yourself £15 by tuning in to your local commercial radio station. You'll never spot the difference between their play-list and this album's track-list.
