Editorial Reviews: Now 63 features the biggest and best chart tracks of the year thus far on two CDs--there’s no better pop-comp out there. There’s a great line-up here, with 42 massive hits making the cut... You’ll find the hottest UK newcomer Corinne Bailey Rae alongside the USA’s biggest current export, The Pussycat Dolls; Number One pop monsters like Chico & Meck feat Leo Sayer; and fun for all the family from Shayne Ward, Sugababes, Will Young and Simon Webbe. If you fancy some guitar pop, well look no further: Coldplay (Talk); Richard Ashcroft (Break The Night With Colour); Kaiser Chiefs (The Modern Way) and Embrace (Nature’s Law) are all aboard. If you’re currently grooving to that 70’s vibe, it’s fine too--The Feeling (Sewn) and Orson (No Tomorrow) are here. If you’re miss the 80’s well, A-ha are back (Analogue), Dead Or Alive are flying high again and U2 (All Because of You) never went away. And if you like the right here and now, Fall Out Boy, Goldfrapp, Gorillaz, Kubb, The Black Eyed Peas, Andy Abraham, Kelly Clarkson, Son of Dork, McFly, Friday Hill, Rhianna & Girls Aloud are all on the splendid Now 63 too.
Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: Not what I expected Comment: This is not a CD I would recomend to anyone who is looking for a varity of hot hits out now! I will not buy another Now That's What I Call Music CD untill they make a CD with hits! Customer Rating: Summary: Now that's what I don't call music Comment: Some of the worest songs on offer here, one or two making it but the rest taking into the bad bracket, terrible bands trying to convince people that they can sing, gives music a bad name Customer Rating: Summary: Rubbish!!! Comment: I used to buy Nows all the time and they used to be great CDs packed with really up to date tunes! But this CD is poor- i mean some of the songs are good such as Fall Out Boy and Orson but i mean Liz Mclaron and Chico- wot has become of the world! Avoid this CD is my advice!! Customer Rating: Summary: The weaker link Comment: Every good chain has the odd weak link, and I have to say that No 63 may prove to be the Now series weakest. The trend towards making the collection so full of Radio 2 playlist material means that it has become more appropriate for Mothers or Fathers Day presents, rather than for the kids to buy as their Easter egg. Of course there is the odd exception - you probably won't hear Wogan playing Son of Dork - but the fact that eight of the tracks owe their success in the charts to TV talent or reality shows, and another eight cover or sample old hits of the 70s/80s indicate the likely audience for much of it. There was a time when I felt there was too much dance and new rock included - now there's hardly any. As far as topicality goes only seven tracks were still in the Top 40 on release date, much lower than usual, and quite a few were hits before even Now 62 came out. Just five No 1s are included, not counting the exhumed Dead Or Alive oldie, though this will partly be because the dreary Shayne Ward and Nizlopi songs hogged the position for longer than is normal these days. It has to be said that most of the tracks did achieve the Top Ten, so the collection continues to serve its remit of refelcting the pop chart. It's just that, even more than usual, the best tracks are on albums that many people will already have and the rest would five years ago barely have qualified as album fillers. Customer Rating: Summary: Brilliant! Comment: I think that this is a brilliant NOW! CD as it holds many brilliant songs on it such as the great Orson, Ordinary Boys,Corin Bailey Rae, Pussycat Dolls,BEP,Hi-Tack, Met ft. Leo Sayer,Kelly Clarkson, Son of Dork, Embracew, Sewn, Richard Ashcroft, Fall out Boy and Kubb. How can you slate this CD when it has such great tracks on?! I have only given it a 4 rating however beacuse it has tracks on it that didn't get into the Top Ten and some songs that did aren't on their. A must have CD altogether though. More Reviews
