Overall, as expected. If you like the Now cd's you will like this one.

I enjoy all of the NOW line of albums, and I enjoyed this one, but it wasn't as good as some of the others. It didn't have quite as much variety as the others and tended to stick mainly with R&B songs. It is still a good cd though and I have had fun listening to it.

One of the better NOW albums

"While this album features several familiar names there are a few new artists here as well such as Lady GaGa, Pitbull, 3OH!3, and Charice. Some of the tracks have been around for a few months while others are still relatively new. As with the previous two volumes, there's access to bonus content. A good sample from start to finish. Here are the peak positions on the Billboard Hot 100 for the tracks:



Boom Boom Pow-#1/ Right Round-#1

Poker Face-#1/ I Know You Want Me-#2

Blame It-#2/ Dead And Gone-#2

Day 'N' Nite-#3/ Kiss Me Thru The Phone-#3

Halo-#5/ Mad-#11/ Please Don't Leave Me-#18

Love Sex Magic-#10/ If U See Amy-#19

My Life Would Suck Without You-#1

Don't Trust Me-#7/ That's Not My Name-#52

You Found Me-#7/ If Today Was Your Last Day-#19 (this week)

I Run To You-#35,#5 Country (this week)

Note To God-#44 (this week)

Great Song Assortment!

"As a DJ, I'm always looking for new singles, latest hits, Billboard tops, etc. The NOW compilation CDs usually do a great job of supplying me with some of the latest and greatest, and what's better is that they are the clean (or "radio edit") versions of the songs, so I can play them at many of the venues I DJ for without a worry. In the past, the NOW CDs usually give a few great songs, a couple good ones, a few headscratchers, and some country offerings. NOW 31 is probably my favorite compilation of the latest CDs they've released as there is not really one head-scratcher on the list and all of the songs are really great tunes from a Top 40 perspective. It's hard to stay on top of the releases, so songs like "Boom Boom Pow" "Halo" and "Mad" seem quite dated in comparison to some of the newer singles like "Don't Trust Me" "Calle Ocho" and "Day 'n' Night", especially since many of these songs get WAY too much radio play for their own good and so even if the song is good, most people get so sick of hearing it that by the time this disc is out they may be burnt out on a lot of the songs.



All in all, this is a great compilation of good Top 40 hits, and if you like clean versions or just prefer your songs sounding exactly like they do on the radio, then this is for you. I like that there are a couple songs on here like "If U See Amy" which are IMPOSSIBLE to find in "radio edit" form because the CD version isn't exactly "dirty" but they decided to make it a bit cleaner for the radio."
