Now That's What I Call Music! 46

The typical Now Thats What I Call Music would consist of a good CD one, and a rubbish CD two with possibly one or two tracks of interest. This one is an exception. With tracks for all types of listeners on this album you can put up with the tracks you don't like because there is twice as many that you do. From pop ( i.e. *NSync, Steps, Stephen Gately and the Backstreet Boys), to heavy dance and trance (Frankie Goes To Hollywood, York, Darude, Spiller and Alice Deejay), to R'n'B/Garage tunes by MJ Cole, DJ Luck and MC Neat, B15 Project, Tru Faith and Dub Conspiracy, Jamelia and Lonyo -> Comme Ci Comme Ca, to enjoy, this album can be listened to over ...  Read the complete review

Now 46 is the second of three Now That's What I Call Music! releases in the first year of the millenium. There was a lot of good music that made it into the charts in this year, and this second encompasses three or four months in the spring and summer of 2000, and was released in July. I'm not a big fan of this release - I'm not a fan of quite a few of the tracks on the discs, but there is no accounting for personal taste in the Now CDs, and something I don't like may be someone else's favourite. Now 46 follows the similar mold of other Now CDs, and has two discs, the first being slightly more commercially poppy, and the second featuring some of the dance ...  Read the complete review

If you want a sampler of modern pop, the Now series is where to go. Many people slagg of the Now series for having too much of one type of music. Or for being a mish-mash. Or for getting up to Volume 46. I'd say the 46 shows it's a consist player for over 15 years (could be longer). Once again, you've got a lot of dance, some boy/girl band pop and a few of the wall songs (like 'Bad Touch' by the Bloodhound Gang). I purely by the Now series for DJ-ing, though some (like Now 35) have become favourites because they managed to capture a period when the music in the charts was up my street. Long may they continue. ...  Read the complete review

I wanted to write about Louise, but ther wasn't a category for her, so this is why it's under Now 46. Louise Nurding was a member of the fantastic R 'n' B band Eternal, then they split, and they all went their own way. Louise, however, has done extremely well, better than she did when she was in the band. Her first single 'Naked' released in 1996 did well in the chart. She has since released many more like Woman In Me, Arms around the world and Let's Go Round Again, all included on the album 'Woman In Me'. I got this album for christmas a couple of years ago when it came out, it's very good, a bit luvvy duvvy and ...  Read the complete review

Now 46 is the summer Now for the year 2000. I got it when it came out, and as usual, loved it for the first fortnight. Since then its probably one of the the least played Now’s in my collection, although lately I have began loving it again! Disc One started with a bang. Britney’s “Oops! I Did It Again”. Obviously, some people aren’t gonna like Britney. I like her singles, with the albums being fairly weak in my opinion. It is a great start to a Summer CD. S Club 7 are next with the annoying ‘Reach”. Its catchy but its embarrassing to put on if anyone in the house is home! Sonqiue’s #1 follows, then we get Mary Mary ...  Read the complete review
