I still have “Now That’s What I Call Music volume 2” starts with Radio Gaga. A double cassette.
I’ve got volume 1 and it’s just two rocks you hit together
Oh now that is a TUNE
The original “Now that’s what I call music!”
I was there when they started these.
I also remember Kidz Bop. Basically the same thing, but the songs were sung by children and way worse.
Fucking hell it got this far? Probably like 20-30!
Well that is a bit shocking.
I didn’t realise they got past 10…
I remember the first two quite well…
I had 26 on cassette. It had some bangers.
Lol new ways to feel old.
“Now that’s what I call music” was in the house, along with some number of its single-digit brethren - though they weren’t brand new at the time. The oldest one I have any memory of seeing advertised on TV etc was “Now 13”.
Can’t remember the exact number but I remember first discovered them on an ad break and they said it has Starships by Nicki Minaj. She is full of shit but that song feels nostalgic to me still.
37 to about 45 was my era.
However, the first ones Insaw were 8 and 11 in my parents vinyl collection. I may have them at my house now, not sure.
I think I had Now 54 on CD. 2003 apparently!
Maybe 20 or 27, some of the 40s look familiar too.
How did they get up to 120??!
I definitely remember one with Bros on it. Already in two digits by then!
Now 60
I used to own volume 8 somewhere…
Earliest I can remember is a television commercial for Volume 5. I can even remember what songs they played, in order, and whenever I hear those song segments out in the wild it’s like a fucking MK Ultra activation phrase for me.
