Now That's What I Call Music! 46

Product Information

The presentation of each release has evolved notably over time: from 1986 through to 2013, all double and triple CD sets were released in chubby Jewel cases which could hold up to 6 discs.

A really tough listen all the way through, Now 58 starts with a low-impact Kelly Clarkson song (“Piece by Piece”) and continues with a slew of artists’ lesser hits (“Roses” by the Chainsmokers, “In the Night” by the Weeknd, “Out of the Woods” by Taylor Swift, and “Middle” by DJ Snake) and also songs by G-Eazy (again! The Now Yearbook series continues both forwards, with Now Yearbook 1985 issued in November 2022, and backwards, with the release of Now Yearbook 1979 in September 2022 (an Extra followed in October). It also, for some reason, has Juvenile’s “Slow Motion,” marking one of the only times Now correctly classified rap as music.

Ultimately though, I went with “Bye Bye Bye” because it’s the song that helped ’NSync snatch the boy band belt from the Backstreet Boys once and for all. It’s just a whole bunch of boasting—all done in the third person—directed at a woman going through one of the hardest periods of her life. An earlier compilation tie-in with Smash Hits from 1987 did, however, include tracks from those years. Genius is the ultimate source of music knowledge, created by scholars like you who share facts and insight about the songs and artists they love.

Have you ever listened to the lyrics of “Something Just Like This,” the Chainsmokers/Coldplay song that’s on Now 63?

The sound of a car turning signal has haunted me since the day “The Middle” was released as a Target commercial on January 28, 2018. Lo’s “Ain’t It Funny,” Ja Rule’s “Livin’ It Up,” Nelly Furtado’s “Turn Off the Light,” and Petey Pablo’s “Raise Up,” the most prominent song to ever advocate for using one’s shirt like a helicopter. Mayer appears on Now 28 twice—on his own song “Say” and as the featured artist on a cursed cover of “Beat It” by Fall Out Boy that I had erased from my memory. It has timeless hits like “Hey Ya” and “Naughty Girl” by Beyoncé, but it also has nostalgia-heavy tracks like JoJo’s “Leave (Get Out),” Yellowcard’s “Ocean Avenue,” Britney Spears’s “Everytime,” and Los Lonely Boys’ “Heaven.

Bon Jovi - It's My Life: Appears on Now 47, but should have been on this album as it was a hit in June. The latter contains a new retro-70s Now logo design and artwork which complements its 80s sister Yearbook series. The Now Yearbook series also releases a vinyl selection of its primary release, with an Extra round-up vinyl boxset featuring tracks from the CD-only series, released at the end of 2022.

It’s a big reason why Now 38’s Points Average is so high, and hence why Now 38 ranks so high (though “Fuck You” by Cee Lo Green and “Grenade” by Bruno Mars also do some heavy lifting). In our universe, meanwhile, I’d expect “Shallow” by Lady Gaga and Bradley Cooper to land on, like, Now 69.
