Product Description

Album Description

Now That's What I Call Music! Vol 61 is another double-CD triumph compiling the best music from the UK pop charts. Featured here is the perfect-pop of Gwen Stefani's "Rich Girl" and Natalie Imbruglia's "Shiver", plus the steamy R&B of Mariah Carey's "It's Like That" and Akon's No. 1 spot-hogging "Lonely". Indie highlights include The Killers' "Smile Like You Mean It", Razorlight's "Somewhere Else", Kaiser Chiefs' "Everyday I Love You Less And Less" and the Gorillaz' "Feel Good Inc". Now!: 61 and still packing in the best chart hits, dancefloor fillers and indie anthems around. --Paul Eisinger

2.0 out of 5 stars Awful second disc..., 26 Sep 2005
By Ziggy Spaceboy (Germany (Englishman)) - See all my reviews
First disc has some great tracks but the second disc is truly awful. I can't even listen to 1 second of that Akon track without wanting to go on a killing spree and as for Crazy Frog - well I live in Germany and this "klingeltone" garbage is very popular here - it's sickeningly sad to see it achieving big success in the UK. The rest of disc 2 is mainly "miss" rather than "hit" but I don't think anything approaches the stomach churning sounds of Akon and Crazy Frog.

2.0 out of 5 stars 2nd disc: Not even music, 23 Jul 2005
The 'Now That's What I Call Music' collection has, in my view, never been good value for money. But number 61 is almost an exception. While the first disc contains some of the best tracks of the year (albeit some turgid choices like the Black Eyed Peas and 2Pac), the second disc is a collection of some of the worst songs of the decade (anyone who thinks that the Crazy Frog even counts as a song deserves to be shot).
In my opinion, you should buy the first disc off a gulible mate for a fiver and leave it at that. Don't waste your time or money on the whole package though.

5.0 out of 5 stars Strong as it ever was, 26 Jul 2005
By Mr. R. B. Ager "Ronald Ager" (Nottingham, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
School's out for the summer, and so is the latest Now, laying its now traditional claim to the kids' holiday pocket money. Not to mention the kids of somewhat older years.

The tracklisting really speaks for itself. In reflecting the mainstream pop elements of the UK chart since the last volume at Easter there is in fact very little on this collection that hasn't been on the Beeb's Radio 2 playlist, but there is still quite a lot that were on Radio 1's, so, as ever, it aims, and largely succeeds, in appealing to the great majority of pop music lovers, young and old.

Contrary to some observations it is still as up-to-date as usual - no less than 20 of the tracks were still in the UK Top 40 on its release date. As the advert tells us, seven of them have been No 1, and many more were Top Tenners. And one lesser-known statistic is that 13 tracks are either covers of, or use samples of, old hits.

Overall, it's as strong as it ever was.

2.0 out of 5 stars CHART RUBBISH
BUY COLDPLAY'S,U2'S,HARD-FI'S AND THE KILLERS' ALBUMS AND THAT WILL GIVE U FAR MORE JOY THAN A BUNCH OF RUBBISH THAT CLOGS UP THE CHARTS.
