The Biggest Hits of the Year December 2, 2007
6 out of 8 found this review helpful

The Now That's What I Call Music franchise is known for bringing together the top hits of the moment and compiling them into one compact disc listening experience. Now That's What I Call Music has released the 26th installment in their hit music experience. Now 26 features some of the biggest hits from the summer/early fall 2007 season.

The CD opens with Soulja Boy Tell'Em's chart topping single "Crank That (Soulja Boy)." Soulja Boy is followed up by Timbaland's number one single "The Way I Are," which featured Keri Hilson & D.O.E. One thing about the CD version of "The Way I Are," is that it is a shorter version than the radio version and doesn't include the rap that is featured in the music video. Every song on Now 26 has been a big hit. This collection is a great collection of pop, hip-hop, R&B, and rock.

When it comes to rock music, "Now 26" isn't lacking. The disc features songs from Avril Lavigne "When You're Gone," Three Days Grace "Never Too Late," Lifehouse "First Time", Good Charlotte "I Don't Wanna Be In Love," P!nk "Who Knew," Daughtry "Over You" and Plain White T's "Hey There Delilah."

Now 26 includes top R&B hits such as J. Holiday's "Bed," Fabolous & Neyo's hit "Make Me Better," and Chris Brown's "Wall To Wall." "Now 24" also includes Sean Kingston's breakout hit "Beautiful Girls."

Now 26 also features hits from Kanye West, Fergie, Baby Bash f/ T-Pain, Rihanna, and Justin Timberlake. The compilation includes 20 songs total.

Another hit "Now" November 20, 2007
4 out of 10 found this review helpful

first id like to say great cd
there was no doubt that they'd put souja boy on, #1 song out there it has great feel. every other hip/hop/rap/rNb song on the CD is one that you'll like. Besides Crank That, Kayne West is the most explosive rapper on this CD, he's great! Fergie's "Big Girls Don't Cry" is one of my favorite new songs, im personally not a huge of her, but who doesn't like this song? I was really surprised to see The Last Goodbye on this CD, I personally dont like the song, they need to pick one genre: they are between retro and rock, which ussually = punk, but not here. I love "Hey There Delilah" it's a great pop/rock accoustic song, but it really should have been on Now24 or 25. It's kind of old. Daughtry is the most popular rock band out there, and his new hit is great! I was also amazed to see "Never too Late" by 3 Days Grace, im glad they put it on though because Im a HUGE 3 Days Grace Fan, I got both of there CD's, its good to see a band who puts rock on rock, if u know what i mean. I think everyone knew Lifehouse's "First Time" would be on here, great song, the first time you here "First Time" you know it's by Lifehouse, another great song. And finnaly Good Charlote's "I dont wanna be in love" is an alright song. Im more of a fan of their older stuff, but this song isnt bad i geuss. So overal "Now" hit it good once again.

Today's Hits December 18, 2007

Appropriately censored so the kiddies can enjoy them.

I like collecting these compilations so I don't have to worry so much about whether I will have "new-er" music when I jam with my friends. And it's great to have "edited" versions of the more "salacious" songs.

What are some of these songs? December 30, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

This is a great CD but there are some songs on here that we have NEVER HEARD! I can think of many songs that could have been on this CD that were more popular lately - the point of this CD, right?
