"Previous editions of these 2-CD UK sets have already had recent US top 10 tracks by Kylie Minogue, Craig David & LeAnn Rimes months before they became hits in America. You can wait a year until the US NOW's catch up, or move ahead of the curve. This one has Enrique's big hit "Hero", and Nickelback's #1 "How You Remind Me", Ja Rule's smash "Always On Time" as well as new tracks by R Kelly, Mary J Blige, Sum 41, Aaliyah, Shaggy, Alien Ant Farm, Backstreet Boys, Britney, Kylie Minogue's next hit, and even Oscar-nominee Nicole Kidman. Lots of dance & trance tracks, too. If you can't find something you like on this CD, go back to the 90's. Here's the tracklisting:Aaliyah - More Than A Woman

Are Americans getting the shaft?

"I have never bought a Now collection until I found this one. The music is more diverse than the American offerings. There is a lot to like here from Ja Rule to the Chemical Brothers. I am not a big fan of everything on here, but at least it has some different stuff that I normally would not buy. The price may be a little high, but it's worth it if you want exposure to some new sounds that are not always getting exposed in the U.S."
