4.0 out of 5 stars Mostly here, 14 Sep 2003
Now 55 features most of the top tunes from the year so far. As always featuring a mix of pop, hip-hop, rock, indie and dance.
Including no.1s from R Kelly, Tomcraft, and Top 10 tracks from Girls Aloud, Robbie Williams, Daniel Bedingfield, 50 cent and t.A.T.u.

CD 1 starts with some excellent tracks from Justin Timberlake and Javine but sadly seems to drown in mediocre dance tracks for the last half. CD 2 features more indie/rockier music to start, with Robbie's "Come undone" and Coldplay's sublime "God put a smile on your face" and ends with more pop tracks such as S Club's final song "Say goodbye".

The down side has to be the awful novelty track from The fast food Rockers.

4.0 out of 5 stars Now That's What I Call Music! 55, 25 July 2003
By A Customer
From the hip-hop trends of 'Ignition' to the every day pop from S Club, Now 55 is sure to be a hit. This NOW is the one I feel has the most mixture of different music styles. But one thing that irritates me most is the almost ancient songs that could have been replaced with more recent ones (ex. Justin Timberlake's 'Cry Me A River' could have been replaced by 'Rock Your Body'). Also NOW misses tons of great hits. The unbelievable quantity of those annoying dance songs from (in this volume) Plummet, Scooter, Paul Van Dyk and DJ Sammy etc. gets me. Plus the piece-of-junk 'Hot In Herre' remake by Tiga is probably the worst song ever made. How it got on a great disc is beyond me. You gotta love those pop melodies coming from the now defunct S Club, newcomer Amy Studt, and NOW revisitors Kym Marsh, Girls Aloud, David Sneddon, Mel C, Emma, S Club 8, Appleton, Ronan, Robbie & the whole lot of them. The catchy 'I Can't Read You' from pop/garage singer Daniel Bedingfield really makes Disc Two great. Also The Thrills' 'Big Sur' has almost a Beach Boys feel to it, and is a really fab piece. Hip-Hop, Rap and R&B songs are power to this set. 50 Cent, R. Kelly and Wayne Wonder's contributions are some of the best tunes I've heard on a NOW disc. Jay-Z, Sugababes, Mariah Carey and Ja Rule/Ashanti have great songs also. Lisa Maffia's debut is one of my favorites on NOW 55. Great alternative from Coldplay and Feeder enlightens this NOW and is my favorite genre. Overall, from pop to rap and from altern to rock, I reccomend this to everyone! No matter what your musical style is, you'll find something you'll love on this 2CD.

Like all the other Now Music range it is very good. It is as contemporary as the listener wants it to be. Always good value with two CDs.
