Now That's What I Call Music! 84 is another predictably consistent round-up of the biggest hits of the time, featuring smashes form the likes of One Direction, Rihanna, Taylor Swift, Bastille and Rudimental. Review: You get what you see - I only recently started putting reviews on products, (been an desertcart customer since 2002), and I've realised that with things like CD compilations, if you don't already know what you're getting, it was a bit dumb to buy it in the first place. With the 'Now' CDs this is especially true, so all my reviews for these will be 5*, because I know the songs before I purchase, love some of them, like others & can't stand some. These are brilliant albums if you want to keep up to date with the latest pop tracks and are always easy to listen to, with the swear words cut on the more edgy ones so kids can listen as well. So if you read the track listings and like them, then buy it, if you don't then don't. Simple. Review: Brilliant tracks - There are too many good tracks to list. The first track I fell for was Pompeii, then Taylor Swift's I knew you were trouble, the One way or another was great as you could listen an old track without for one minute thinking you're too old. The one I just can't stop listening to, and I've been playing it over and over again, then some more over and over again is simply Pink with Try. It is a definite buy and if you are driving, you will simply enjoy all the traffic jam in the world listening to those great songs.

Brilliant tracks
There are too many good tracks to list.

Good album, but not as good as Now 83
This album is decent but i will explain in this review exactly why it maybe doesn't quite deserve to get five stars. Firstly just like Now 83 there are handfuls on songs missing:- Adele - Skyfall - Missed out on a place in the Now 83 tracklist and i was half expectinbg to make this album instead, but it wasn't to be. However i'm not really a fan of her music and particuarly this song, so i'm not too fussed. Rihanna feat. Mikky Ekko - Stay - Her previous single 'Diamonds' is on here so i was really expecting a double appearance here, especially the fact that she has double appearances on the last THREE spring Now albums, she actually makes THREE on the spring 2011 album Now 78. So surprised this song wasn't on here, again not really a big fan of Rihanna either, so i'm not too fussed. Rita Ora - Shine Ya Light - peaked 8 places higher than 'Radioactive' but left the charts months ago not long after Now 83 was released so they've decided to go with the newer song. One Direction - Kiss You - Triple appearances would be a big ask for 1D as they already have 2 songs on this album but why did it have to be this song that missed out? It is far better than both the songs already on this album, the fact that it probably didn't get to number 1 is probably why. I very much doubt it will appear on Now 85 as the song will be very old by then. Lawson - Learn to Love Again - I was really surprised they included the very dated 'Standing in the Dark' which peaked at #6 back in October/November time, again this song peaked a fair bit lower at #13, so they obviously decided to choose the high charter over the newer song. Ed Sheeran - Give Me Love - Was expecting this song to make it as all his previous hits (apart from Drunk) have been on Now albums but it wasn't to be, it only peaked at #18 on the UK singles chart but that's still higher then 'Small Bump' which peaked even lower at #25 but still got a place on the Now 82 tracklist. Bruno Mars - When I Was Your Man - An Now 85 appearance may well be on the cards as his previous single 'Locked Out of Heaven' is on here. The Script - If You Could See Me Now - This song believe it or not, peaked higher than their single 'Breakeven' which was featured in 2009's Now 72, but i'm not fussed at all really as i already have their album and this song isn't really Now material to be honest. Justin Timberlake feat. Jay Z - Suit and Tie - peaked at #3 on the UK Singles Chart but somehow didn't make it. Justin Timberlake - Mirrors - speant three weeks at number 1 earlier this month but is somehow absent, may be featured in Now 85 instead. Macklemore feat. Ryan Lewis & Wanz - Thrift Shop - Really thought this song was going to be on here as it reached No. 1 back in February, a Now 85 appearance is still possible as DJ Fresh's 'Hot Right Now' reached No. 1 last February and was absent on Now 81 so appeared in Now 82 instead. Baauer - Harlem Shake - This song is cringeworthingly awful and i'm glad it didn't make it. I hope it isn't on Now 85. Then there's the very dated songs that really should have been on Now 83 Rihanna - Diamonds Girls Aloud - Something New Lawson - Stranding in the Dark The following list of songs are also a good few months old James Arthur - Impossible Olly Murs feat. Flo Rida - Troublemaker Bruno Mars - Locked Out of Heaven Ke$ha - Die Young Little Mix - DNA Dislosure feat. Sam Smith - Latch Rudimental feat. John Newman & Alex Clare - Not Giving In One Direction - Little Things All the rest are probably really New or just one or 2 months old. I also feel that the first disc (especially the second half) is a little bit heavy on female artists (not to be sexist or anything) which is just another factor that drags this album down a little. Then there's the positives * It has no less tracks than Now 83 and more tracks then the last two spring albums Now 78 and Now 81. * Every song has peaked within the top 20 of the UK singles chart. Rita Ora's 'Radioactive' charting the lowest at #18. * It's nice to see a rather unexpected but nice appearance of Fleetwood Mac's 1988 hit, 'Everywhere' on the album, We all have the dancing pony to thank for that :D * The song that reached number one the day before the album was released was actually on the album, The Saturdays 'What About Us' something all 3 of last years albums failed to do. That's about all i can say really, It's a decent album and definetly worth getting, and if your'e into the current music scene it's must buy, i'm sure we'll be in for an impressive summer album in Now 85 when it will be released this July. As for Now though give this one a try, it might just be your money's worth.

Brilliant!
Excellent summary of all the music found in the UK top 40. Naturally you must listen to the UK Top 40 and be aware of most songs at any time, otherwise more than half of the album contents would sound new to you. Not recommended if you buy this compilation for one song in particular...

Good selection of music
This CD has lots of up to date hits which my teenagers have really enjoyed. They have found some of the Now discs have been out of date but this one is really good. Well worth the buy.

too expensive
when you add in the cd price to the postage and exchange rate, you are paying over €20 for a cd.... becomes too expensive.

CDに焼いて予備を車の古いＣＤプレイヤーで読んでくれるのがよい。出てこなくなって廃棄になるかもしれないからオリジナルは怖くてかけられない。

Auf dieser CD ist zum Beispiel auch etwas vom Jahre 1987 dabei. Songauswahl ist gut! Überlege schon mir die Nachfolger-CD zu kaufen.
