4.0 out of 5 stars Another great Christmas Now CD, 27 Nov 2003
To add to your collection!

Once again, we get the end of year "Now" CD being a real winner with some of the biggest hits of the year. CD 1 contains all the latest and greatest hits, including the mammoth #1's from the Black Eyed Pea's, Beyonce, Kylie, Fatman Scope and the Sugababes. As usual, all the big pop tracks from the last few months make up the rest of the first part of the disc, with stand outs being Rachel Steven's "Sweet Dreams My L.A. Ex" and Liberty X's "Jumpin'". The rest of Disc One is mainly a mixture of reasonable sized chart hits, including many winners like Stacie Orrico, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Emma and Javine. Overall, a solid showing of the biggest hits from the last three months, plus a good, strong mixture of the latest pop songs to touch the chart, none of which are outstandingly horrible or offensive for once!

CD 2, as per usual, takes on a more varied approach, mixing dance, rock, r&b and alternative to give a less appealling, but more eclectic listen. Elton is here, as are some catchy cross-over hits from Justin and Robbie. The r&b is quite good qith Ashanti and 50 Cent being both surprisingly good. The dance tracks aren't bad, either, with Lisa Scott Lee being my personal favourite out of the bunch. Not as good as CD 1, but fine for a mixture to put on "random" and have going in the background to hear a wide range of tunes.

Overall, if you want a mixture of the latest hits that you would have heard on the radio or seen on the TV, you can't go past Now 56, which comes up trumps yet again.

5.0 out of 5 stars This is fab!!, 17 Nov 2003
I bought this album today - not on the strength of the reviews featured on here (!), but on the strength of the tracks featured. In my opinion this is one of the best NOW compilations. It features both recent best sellers killer tracks like Beyoncé's 'Crazy In Love' and Elton's 'Are you ready?' and also good tracks which are currently in the charts, Kylie's 'Slow', Blue's 'Guilty', Sugababes' 'Hole in the Head' etc. There are no obscure tracks or ones which didn't dent the charts, and I appreciate the variety of pop styles featured: pure UK pop (Rachel Stevens, Lemar, Emma, Girls Aloud etc) and trendy American pop (Amy Studt, Ashanti, Justin Timberlake etc) and the greatly adored 'Busted' and America's coolest rapper 50 Cent. The second CD closes with some serious pop/rock sounds ( Starsailor, Stereophonics etc) and the last track is amazing - a new version of Tears for Fears' 'Mad World' which I remember first time round (1982!)- this version is completely different from the original and it is truly inspirational. This NOW compilation is, in my opinion, fantastic - the variety of pop musical styles is great, the sequencing is fab, the songs fit together to make for a nice package. On the down side - the Fatman Scoop 'song' is truly awful and demands a quick forwarding when it comes on, and the lame 'Swing Low' by UB40 could have been omitted- it's hardly their best song, is it? Well, one shouldn't complain, CD 1 lasts for 79 mins - this is the longest CD I know! - and given most tracks are good ones, three cheers for NOW!!

It seems that the last good now was Now 45. Since then the compilation has been going on a downward slop in terms of the quality of music and tracks selected for the albums. Read more

4.0 out of 5 stars An awful good compilation put together
Well, of course, NOW has been around forever. Out of all of them there have been a few misses (48,49,50) and a few hits (47,53,55). 56 should sure be added to the hits. Read more
