Great Collection of Billboard hits!
By Polar
Bear
"Now 39: That's What I Call Music" is the latest installment
from Capitol Music's multi-artist series. What's cool about this series is it
not only features Billboard hits by already established artists (16 tracks), but
that it also includes 4 tracks by up and coming, lesser known acts. A quick
glance at the track listing shows a respectable list of performers: Katy Perry,
Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Blake Shelton to name a few. An interesting side
note is that the song "Tonight, Tonight" by Hot Chelle Rae was actually on the
last edition of the "Now" series (Now 38) as an up and coming artist to watch.
The current list of up and comers includes Maria K., Jessica Sutta, Chiddy Bang,
and DEV featuring the Cataracs. Keep an eye on those songs as they could well
end up being tomorrow's hits. If you like top 40 music and don't want to buy the
complete albums from each artist then this is for you!

Now MP39....
By Daniel W. Kelly
I'm not a major audiophile, but I have to say, it's becoming more and more
obvious that many of the tracks on recent volumes of NOW are merely sourced from
MP3s. This is possibly the worst offending volume yet. Some songs are too shrill
with no low end, others are all bass with no high end. Some songs even have a
sudden dramatic shift from clarity to muffle (I noticed it particularly on the
Britney Spears track). It's such a shame that this generation and going forward
will never know what truly dynamic stereo music sounds like thanks to our
digital age, where even those who are still dedicated to buying tangible product
are being duped with MP3 quality music.
As for the track list, this one
is loaded with songs that are actually still in heavy rotation on the radio, and
plenty of top 10 hits. And what's most amazing, and kind of annoying, is that
for the first time ever, NOW actually DID preview a future hit with the bonus
tracks on their last volume--they've even REPEATED it on here. Yep Hot Chella
Rae's "Tonight Tonight" was on Now 38 and is now a huge radio hit, so they've
opted to include it AGAIN on this volume. When you know you have a dedicated
fanbase that buys every volume, you really should NOT be repeating songs....
Anyway, I still look to NOW for many top 40 hits to add to my collection
(at least the ones that don't need to be censored), but I wish they would stop
going the cheap route and actually use the ORIGINAL MASTERS for these
compilations.

Now 39: 2011's Greatest Hits & All Your Favorites
By DooWopKid
WOW, what a great collection! Now That's What
I Call Music 39 is a true masterpiece. It features some of the greatest hits of
2011 by today's top stars. This collection includes Katy Perry, Bruno Mars,
Tinie Tempah, Jason Aldean, OneRepublic, Britney Spears, Lupe Fiasco, Lady Gaga,
The Black Eyed Peas, and Pitbull. This collection also includes some up and
coming artists. While most people hate these Now What's Next Tracks, I find them
very good. It is all about promotion in the music industry and this is a great
way to be heard!
