Now 78 album

Do you own any NOW album?

I’m sure you do or know someone who does. I have a couple of them myself and still plays them every now and then when the mood strikes me. The play list sure takes me back in time and it’s always fun to sing along and belt your heart out.

The Now That’s What I call Music Album series is a popular brand and has been for ages. Often just referred to as Now, the album first came about in the United Kingdom in the year 1983 by the Big Four record Labels (Universal/EMI/Sony/Virgin). And since then, it has been a consistent hit totalling about 100 million sales worldwide. Famous artists that are often featured include Robbie Williams, Cheryl Cole, Britney Spears, Kylie Minogue, Phil Collins and U2.

The convenience of grabbing one album containing the most popular songs of the year or of the decade is perhaps the highest selling point of this brand. Why purchase individual albums and pay large sums when the Now compilation will suffice your music needs? The series is a fantastic collector’s item and a great compliment on times when you feel the need to reminisce the good old times. Also works as a reference to share with your kids to give them an idea of how music is evolving.

The latest of this series and the 78th album so far, is coming out on April 4, 2011 in the United Kingdom. Now 78 CD available here.
