This set is a top entrant in the long-running franchise of NOW! collections. Ranging from Leona Lewis' mammoth chart-topper "Bleeding Love" to the Latin hip hop of Flex' "Ti Quiero," this album covers a lot of bases. If you want to know what American pop fans are listening today, it would be difficult to be more representative than this.
Released June 2008.
The Biggest Current Hits With a Few Still on the Rise
This Now! collection includes some of the biggest chart-topping hits thus far in 2008. Leona Lewis' "Bleeding Love" is here along with Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" and Jordin Sparks' gushy pop ballad "No Air." Rising hits are not missing either. Flyleaf's slowly emerging "All Around Me" and Gavin DeGraw's "In Love With a Girl" are both hits on their way up.
Highlights
There are a few tracks here that are true gems in current pop. Fall Out Boy's deft re-interpretation of Michael Jackson's classic "Beat It" is here. Natasha Bedingfield's top 10 hit "Pocketful of Sunshine" has aged well over recent months, and Daughtry's song "Feels Like Tonight" is one of the best from their debut album.
