Now That's What I Call Music! 56

Product Information

On this volume, we were introduced for the first time to artists like Black Eyed Peas, Rachel Stevens (as a solo artist), Fatman Scoop, Beyoncé (as a solo artist and not just a featured artist), Lemar, Ultrabeat and also Angel City.

There are a few artist who made their only series appearance on this volume, and these were Lumidee, Stacie Orrico, Phixx, D-Side, Mark Owen (as a solo artist), Joe Budden, Rishi Rich Project, Starsailor and Michael Andrews. Really strong volume with very little filler - and a lot of my favourite pop singles of the decade on it to boot.Other faves include 'Mad World' and 'Love Me Right (Oh Sheila)' (this again grew on me quite recently when I re-discovered it). Most have those would have been missed for not being big enough hits or because the artist had other songs on this volume I guess.

Shout out to Delta Goodrem's Innocent Eyes - my favourite song of the year and obviously she was on the Hits albums instead but I would have LOVED to see this on Now.or Now 56 was released on November 17, 2003 on audio cassette and 2CD, The album is the 56th edition of the Now series in the United Kingdom. Ashanti - Rock Wit U (Awww Baby): Great song, though it should have been on Now 55 as it was a hit in June/July. The first track, "See You Again" was made for the 2015 film "Furious 7" as a tribute to late actor, Paul Walker. My love of Ashanti at that time of my life was unreal, she was just such a babe and her music was so nice to listen to with those majestic vocals. Along with this omission, we also were missing hits by American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson with her debut single Miss Independent.

Kylie Minogue (I'm one of those weird Kylie fans that actually loved and bought the 'Body Language' album. Justin Timberlake - Rock Your Body: Great disco inspired track, though it should have been on Now 55 as it was a hit in May/June. The equivalent Hits 57 wasn't as great, though I bought and loved the companion music videos DVD (the only time a numbered Hits album had a DVD I think! Jay-Z - Crazy In Love (the song that got me into Beyonce as a solo artist full I would say I mean Work It Out was good and all but this was the OMG moment for sure. Michael had failed in his court wrangle with Sony after accusing it of "professional slavery"; his contract was bought out by Virgin Records.I haven't played myself for 20+ years but the tone of the guitar was so sweet and the action so easy to play that I couldn't resist. The only bad part is that some of the songs on here could have been updated by newer, more recent hits. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average.

I love the ones with auto-rip, because then one of my kids can listen to the CD on their player, the other can stream on her MP3, and everyone is happy.

Love the backing track on this dance hit, but the vocals are a bit cheesy (even if they do have good taste in eye colour! Let’s see what would have been played at the club I went out to later that night (spoiler: none of the following, ’cause I’m pretty sure I went to Opium rock club, which didn’t play a lot of chart music). This collection includes tracks from Wiz Khalifa, Taylor Swift, Selena Gomez, Selena Gomez, Meghan Trainor with John Legend, Ed Sheeran and many others.

My daughter was pleased with it and has asked me to keep a look out for a few others that she is missing from her collection. Next we come upon Amy Studt, which I'm not sure if this song is even considered a hit, and Texas, see Amy Studt. Westlife – Hey Whatever (Westlife seemed to appear from time to time, but I think they probably got a special deal to have Uptown Girl on Now 50 and then the licensing issues were resolved by the next time they appeared.
