Lisa Isaacs Said: Awesome Mix! ( May. 14th 2010 )

This CD has all my favorite songs from 2008-2009. Ne-yo and Taylor Swift are just some of the goodies on here. I like buying CD's like these because they usually have some good pop songs Ive missed to download onto my ipod. Check out this other great music product I love:

Voice Lessons To Go Volume 1: Vocalize and Breath

Ariella Vaccarino- creator of Voice Lessons To Go Said: A total deal ( Apr. 23rd 2010 )

If you are into the current top 10 type of music and you don't all ready own most of them, then this is a great deal for you. There is a great app on Bing that is called top 100 which gives you access to all this music so check that out to. Just loaded it on my iphone is cool. You get top 100 songs of every year. Voice Lessons To Go v.1-4 The Complete Set

Jae S. Said: NOW That's What I Call Music! 30 ( Feb. 17th 2010 )

These are great CDs to get all the music you really want without the ones from an artist you don't want. Great way to get many popular artists, but if you are not into all the pop singers, this is not the CD for you.

Jade Said: 2nd Half Is Better Than 1st Half ( Jan. 30th 2010 )

I like the under the sea cover of this volume in the Now series. The first half of this CD is kinda blah at best. The 2nd half is the best. Highlights on this CD are tracks by David Cook, Pink, Saving Abel, Nickelback, Jason Mraz and Keith Urban.

Judy K. Polhemus Said: Too many skippers ( Dec. 30th 2009 )

If you're looking for a nice compilation of fairly current hit tunes from the radio, one way to go is the NOW series. "NOW That's What I Call Music 30" is my favorite of the several NOW CDs that I own. Like most CDs, this one contains skippers, too many for me. However, the number of songs that I really like still make it worth the price.

If you're like me and just barely recognize various names and, maybe--maybe not, the name of the song, then Amazon is a great source for your purchase. Here you can go to the sampler section and listen to as many songs as you want before you buy with confidence that you will enjoy enough of the songs to make your purchase worthwhile.

Having said that, I can also say that, once you are familiar with the NOW series, you can still buy with confidence. There must be a wide variety of NOW songs to appeal to the top listening categories. I don't like heavy metal (as I understand the term), but there is always a representative on the NOWs (I think---loud buzzing guitars with consideration going to noise rather than melody, right?). However, I can skip that one and the rap one and the heavy country one and so on. Even at half the CD, I am pleased.

There are eight songs on this CD that simply make my day, especially on the way home from work. Rousing dance music! Heartbreak! Gotcha song! Oh, some titles? In CD order:

"Just dance" by Lady Gaga
"Womanizer" by Britney Spears (Ha ha for Britney!)
"Keeps Gettin' Better" by Christina Aguilera
"Let It Rock" by Kevin Rudolf

"Heartless" by Kanye West--My absolute favorite on the CD. I have listened to this song SO MANY times that if this were an LP, the groove would be missing. The song should not work, at least not to an almost senior citizen, librarian. The beat is so basic, his breathing is amateurish, the multiple tracks, each with Kanye should be annoying, but for me, all the components work so well that I must listen several times every time I get to this song. What is wonderful about this song is that I understand every word and can sing along at the top of my voice (if I want to).

"I Hate This Part" by The Pussycat Dolls
"I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz--what a delightful, happy-making song! Thank you, Jason!
"Love Story" by Taylor Swift

One negative, but necessary aspect: Most songs on CDs can be purchased separately. The NOW CDs come as complete packages. Single songs are unavailable for sale.

Overall, this is a great buy!
