Advantages: Value for Money Disadvantages: Loads of Dross
This is the Now series. It's forty nine issues old and even has it's own personal web site www.now49.com. The Now series is the forerunner in the compilation stakes, and seems to issue a compilation every four weeks or so, but it seems more often to me. In the early days they were probably a good idea , but now there's so many that it is just product overkill. I'm sure that these sort of compilations are at least partially responsible for the demise ... ...a few weeks the latest Now album will have that single , plus thirty or forty others for the same price as three or four singles. As well as that it takes up a lot less room on your CD shelf.
These artefacts are ideal presents for aunties and uncles to buy nephews and nieces , when they haven't go a clue what they're into. Even I think there's at least half a dozen decent tunes on this compilation , so it would be worth my while to purchase it. ...

Advantages: Good Music, Mixture of dance ad pop, all of this years chart toppers Disadvantages: Some quite boring pop songs in my opinion, others might like it.
...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 ... ...- 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

Advantages: Good value for money Disadvantages: You might not like all the artists/tracks
...was first introduced to the Now That's What I Call Music collection last year when I joined a music club. My record collection needed updating and as soon as I saw these albums I realised that they were the solution. Now 49 is the second Now album released this year. The advert seems to be on TV every commercial break. I already have the first Now album of this year, Now 48 (which I thought was brilliant) so I thought I would give this one a try ... ...common amongst different compilations.
Now 49 is a double CD with 41 top chart hits.
Compact Disc One 1. Eternity (Radio Edit) - Robbie Williams
I love this one. It is rumoured to be a tribute to Robbie's pal Geri Halliwell. Lucky girl!
2. Out Of Reach - Gabrielle This was written for the blockbusting film Bridget Jones Diary. Gabrielle actually insisted on reading the book before she wrote this song. Also featured on the album Rise.
3. Eternal ...

Advantages: variety, good value Disadvantages: few dodgy tracks
The NOW series has undoubtedly become a British institution and the 49th addition is as good as it gets! If you like easy listening and a bit of variety then Now 49 will suit you and at just £14.99 (Woolworthes price; double CD) will suit your pocket too.
Now 49 has no less than a whopping 41 'top chart hits'. The playlist is as follows:-
DISC 1:
1. ROBBIE WILLIAMS = ETERNITY
2. GABRIELLE = OUT OF REACH
3. ATOMIC KITTEN = ETERNAL FLAME
4. BLUE ... ...I?
21. MELANIE B = LULLABY
The inlay is glossy and in colour as it is with all the Now range. It gives a brief account of the artist & single and mentions the album it is taken from. The front and back covers are bright, colourful while clear. ...

Advantages: different music on it, Disadvantages: none unless u do not like this kind of music
Now 49 is the latest now out, and i have to say that it is really good, but so are all the other nows really.
It's a double album costing between £12.99 and £14.99. I paid £13.99 for my copy from the supermarket. You can buy it cheaper at supermarkets than from any music stores usually.
The album has something for everyone on including:
pop
rock
dance
indie
There are 41 songs on the album altogether, and i have to say that cd 1 is always better ... ...Some of the bands on now 49 are:-
Robbie Williams
Atomic Kitten
S Club 7
U2
Dido
Fragma
And many more
So as you can see there is different bands and music to choose from.
I have most of the now's and i'd recommend it to anyone. ...
