I found this CD album quite by accident... There I was having a good old nosy through my mums CD cabinet and then I noticed that the Now Collection looked a bit different?! It went from Now 43 to Now 49... ' 49?!' I thought to myself, 'Now that wasn't there the last time I looked.' And the last time I looked was yesterday...

I took it out of the cabinet and looked at the songs. 'Great! Its the newest one.' On it were all my fave songs at the moment, set out just like Now 48. All the groovy, dance beats on CD2 and all the slow slow and boring, [or lively and loud!] pop tunes on CD1. I couldn't live without listening to CD2, thing is it wasn't in the case. Aaaaaaghhhhh!! What was I to do? Well, I took the sensible approach and looked in the CD player! It was there, and so I pressed play. Out came Eddy Grants song...Electric Avenue. It sounded a bit different to the radio edit, probably because it was the Ringbang Remix. I listened to the whole of CD2 twice, it was so good. I'll list the songs for you, then you'll have a better understanding of how good it was!

1 Eddy Grant - Electric Avenue (Ringbang Remix)
2 Gorillaz - 19-2000 (Soulchild Remix)
3 DJ Pied Piper & The Masters of Ceremonies - Do You Really Like It?
4 Mis-teeq - All I Want
5 Roger Sanchez - Another Chance
6 Basement Jaxx - Romeo
7 Da Hool - Meet Her At The Love Parade 2001
8 Ian van Dahl - Castles In The Sky (Love this song. Ian van Dahl is coming to Carlisle this Sunday to do One Big Sunday. Anyone who lives near should come... Its free!!)
9 Fragma - You Are Alive
10 Steps - Here and Now (How on earth did this song manage to get on this CD?!)
11 A*Teens - Upside Down (Uh, Oh...)
12 Bellefire - Perfect Bliss
13 Texas - I Don't Want A Lover
14 Boris Dlugosch feat. Roisin - Never Enough
15 Janet Jackson - All for You
16 Eve - Whos That Girl
17 Nelly feat. City Spud - Ride Wit Me
18 Sisqo - Dance For Me
19 Aaron Soul - Ring Ring Ring
20 Damage - So What If I
21 Melanie B - Lullaby

Good Huh? Well, I like it. If you don't, stuff ya!! I would o course prefer an Ibiza album, but my mum probably won't go out and spend her hard earned [cough, cough] cash on that, unless she wants it herself. But, this will do, after all. I didn't have to pay anything for it, did I?!!

The album cost £14.99 from Asda, which is quite a good price, don't you think? For two CDS? And they're a good couple of Discs. I'll tell all those pop fans whats on CD1 so you might start to agree with me!

1 Robbie Williams - Eternity
2 Gabrielle - Out of Reach
3 Atomic Kitten - Eternal Flame (I like the original by the Bangles better.)
4 Blue - All Rise
5 S club Seven - Don't Stop movin'
6 Geri Halliwell - Its Raining Men
7 Ronan Keating - Lovin' Each Day
8 Stereophonics - Have A Nice Day (Hate the vidoe to this, it does my head in!)
9 Wheatus - Teenage Dirtbag (Aaaaaaaaaaaagggggggghhhhhh!!)
10 Blink 182 - The Rock Show
11 U2 - Elevation (Tomb Raider Mix)
12 Outkast - Ms. Jackson (The puppy in this video is so sweet!!)
13 Destinys Child - Survivor (Love Beyonce's hair in Bootylicious)
14 Hear'say - The Way To Your Love
15 Backstreet Boys - More Than That
16 Britney Spears - Don't Let Me Be The Last To Know
17 Marti Pellow - Close To You
18 Dido - Thankyou (I hate this video too.)
19 Zero 7 - Destiny
20 Radiohead - Pyramid Song

So there you have it... 41 songs, two Cds, one album, £14.99 = Now That' What I Call Music! 49.
