There were omissions during this era of 2008 from Madonna, McFly, Busta Rhymes, Nickelback, Kelly Rowland, Fall Out Boy, Adele, Freemasons, The Fratellis, Goldfrapp and Maroon 5 just to name a few. Now 70 is the only volume in the series to feature music from Mint Royale, Sam Sparro, Sara Bareilles, Jonas Brothers, Black Kids and DJ Q. Artwork Rating: 9/10 Amazing Washed up on shore along with seashells, pearls and starfish, the rarely seen blue logo (last seen on Now 38) makes this beautifully composed artwork to be one of the finest and vibrant summer volumes of all time. Disc 1 Favourite: Dizzee Rascal feat. Calvin Harris & Chrome Dance Wiv Me The song that put Dizzee Rascal on the main stage is my standout song from this volume. It was probably the first grime single I actually really liked. It also showcased Calvin Harris at his best. Disc 2 Favourite: Basshunter All I Ever Wanted Another smash hit from the hottest DJ of 2008 and this summery single, which missed out on a #1 status, is quite a highlight from summer 2008 and I enjoy it still quite often some ten years later. Disc 3 Tracklist: (A concept of what a third disc might look like if other hits from the era were used) 1. Madonna feat. Justin Timberlake 4 Minutes 3:09 {1} 2. Busta Rhymes feat. Linkin Park We Made It 3:58 {10} 3. The Last Shadow Puppets The Age Of The Understatement 3:09 {9} 4. The Pigeon Detectives This Is An Emergency 3:10 {14} 5. Fall Out Boy feat. John Mayer Beat It 3:46 {21} 6. Glasvegas Geraldine 3:45 {16} 7. The Fratellis Mistress Mabel 3:41 {23} 8. Panic! At The Disco Nine In The Afternoon 3:11 {13} 9. Weezer Pork And Beans 3:09 {33} 10. MGMT Time To Pretend 4:21 {35} 11. Courteeners Not Nineteen Forever 4:03 {19} 12. Nickelback Photograph 4:18 {18} 13. Sharleen Spiteri All The Times I Cried 3:25 {26} 14. Adele Cold Shoulder 3:11 {18} 15. Maroon 5 feat. Rihanna If I Never See Your Face Again 3:18 {28} 16. Kanye West feat. Dwele Flashing Lights 3:57 {29} 17. Nelly feat. Fergie Party People 4:02 {14} 18. Flo Rida feat. Timbaland Elevator 3:50 {20} 19. Freemasons feat. Katherine Ellis When You Touch Me 3:15 {23} 20. Cahill feat. Nikki Belle Trippin On You 2:48 {25} 21. Goldfrapp Happiness 3:37 {25} 22. Radiohead Nude 4:15 {21} ---------- Total time: 1:19:18 Overall Rating: 7/10 Very Good I do like this volume quite a lot, the variety of music is apparent throughout the two discs. I was just a little bit disappointed that artists like Adele, Nickelback, Fall Out Boy, MGMT and Cahill got overlooked for this volume. Theres still plenty of available disc space too which was unused. However, Im willing to overlook these matters for some great hits that were included. Andrew's Best 5 (as of January 2018) 1. Dizzee Rascal feat. Calvin Harris & Chrome Dance Wiv Me 2. The Ting Tings Thats Not My Name 3. Basshunter All I Ever Wanted 4. September Cry For You 5. The Hoosiers Cops & Robbers Andrew's Worst 5 (as of January 2018) 1. Ironik Stay With Me 2. The Script We Cry 3. Mariah Carey Touch My Body 4. Jonas Brothers S.O.S. 5. Paul Weller Have You Made Up Your Mind |

QUOTE Madonna Give It 2 Me These omissions are fab! Gusto Discos Revenge 2008 Freemasons feat. Katherine Ellis When You Touch Me 3:15 Cahill feat. Nikki Belle Trippin On You Went for Propane Nightmares as my fave from disc 1 and Watch Out from disc 2 as my fave. Propane Nightmares is my favourite Pendulum track, just excellent both vocally and production wise and Watch Out is a great funky house tune sampling 1981's Papa's Got a Brand New Pigbag with an excellent vocal from Shena (who was like the Kelli-Leigh of the 00s), she was a featured artist on Jurgen Vries - Wilderness and Junior Jack - Stupidisco (Dare Me). QUOTE DJ Q feat. MC Bonez You Wot! Don't think I have heard this one before Other songs on the album I like are No Air and Take A Bow (these R&B ballads sound very nostalgic to me now), Dance Wiv Me, Better In Time (Leona's best song imo), Singing In The Rain, Black & Gold, Wearing My Rolex, All I Ever Wanted (which I much preferred at the time to Now You're Gone (now its the opposite) ) , Discolights and Cry for You. 2008 was a great year for chart music imo.

I would love to have this on CD! I see 8 songs that are among my favorites of the decade, let alone the year. 2008 was incredibly diverse for chart hits! I voted '10,000 Nights' and 'Cry For You' on the poll for each disc. The artwork is brilliant too, one of Now's best for sure.

Not a bad volume for me and includes some great songs, though I did think 2008 was one of the poorer years of the 00's.
Top 5:- 1) Pendulum - Propaine Nightmares 2) September - Cry For You (You'll Never See Me Again) 3) Coldplay - Violet Hill 4) Dizzee Rascal feat. Calvin Harris - Dance Wiv Me 5) The Kooks - Always Where I Need To Be |

Was so upset that 4 Minutes wasn't included. But loved Girls Aloud, Sugababes and Kylie all being together! Amazing pop bops!

To be fair they have never included a Madonna song on a Now CD as they can't get the rights, so I wasn't expecting it at the time.

Ill probabaly get caned for saying this here but We Cry is actually my fav front Disc 2 My all time favourite song from The Script and is pretty much them at their finest (as they do go downhill after Hall of Fame).
Estelle is my Disc 1 fav and brings back a lot of memories Shame Madonna x Justin, Panic! At The Disco, MGMT, & Jay-Z missed out on being featured but Im not too bothered about any of the other omissions. Overall its not bad, but I prefer 69 & 71 are far superior really |

disc 1 rank:
1 American Boy [this was big back in the day] 2 Dance Wiv Me [gotta love a bit of dizzee] 3 Singin' In The Rain [*. at this getting to #1] 4 Propane Nightmares [a very inspired choice of chart hit, g'won Pendulum] 5 Closer [one of, if not his best] 6 In My Arms 7 That's Not My Name 8 Black & Gold 9 I'm Not Gonna Teach... 10 Sweet About Me disc 2 rank: 1 Low [proper anthem!!] 2 Wearing My Rolex [choon] 3 Cry For You [will always be gutted that this was much bigger than Supermode which had the same sample but this is really great nonetheless] 4 Watch Out [another good Alex Gaudino tune, even if Destination was much better] 5 You Wot! [yes!] 6 Heartbreaker 7 Jumping All Over The World 8 Discolights 9 Toca's Miracle 2008 10 All I Ever Wanted worst: 1 10,000 Nights [I really don't see the fuss about this song, it's quite awful] 2 Have You Made Up Your Mind [boring] 3 Denial [boring] 4 Turn It Up [lol] 5 S.O.S [well it's not as bad as you'd expect coming from the Jonas Brothers] |
