It's an Ok CD, nothing spectacular, I have most of these songs already, and you might already have them too.

And for some odd reason, they have to put a Keith Urban song practically on EVERY CD they make, and I don't know why?

But overall its a great CD.

"NOW That's What I Call Music 32" is another winner, overall, in the NOW series. But why wouldn't it be? The NOW CDs include top hits of the day. What determines top hits? Sales! By definition then, the NOW series SHOULD be a winner.

However, judging by other reviews, I am not the only one who finds this CD less than perfect (or even close). Having said that, I will say that I like as many songs (for an almost senior citizen) as I did for NOW 30 (which I also reviewed). Note: I skipped purchase of 31 because I didn't like enough songs to make a purchase worthwhile for me.

NOW 32 contains these winners (for me):

"I Gotta Feeling" by Black Eyed Peas (a shocker because I thought BEP was solely rap/hip hop. This song has melody! and a variety of styles within one song.
"LoveGame" by Lady Gaga--Ho boy, a vulgar song but a great head banging rhythm.
"Down" by Jay Sean featuring Lil Wayne
"Obsessed" by the excellent Mariah Carey
"Knock You Down" by Keri Hines featuring Kanye West and NE-YO
"Say Hey (I Love You)" by Michael Franti and Spearhead--I love this happy, romantic song!

"She Wolf" by Shakira--I bought this CD for this song. Shakira was on the Letterman Show recently and talked about what she does with some of the money she makes. She funds education in her home country of Colombia. A beautiful, young woman.

"You Belong to Me" by Taylor Swift--I didn't get the big deal over this singer until she hosted "Saturday Night Live" recently. I rarely watch--almost never--that show any more, but just happened on it during her host time. In all the years I watched the program (in the heydays), her hosting was one of the very best. She sang a song as her monologue and tucked into it jabs at Kanye West and Joe, the boyfriend, who broke up with her in a public way (I've forgotten the details). I was taken with her demeanor and style and wry humor. She was also excellent in her skits.

I really tried to like Keith Urban's song (because Nicole Kidman married the singer, giving him credence in my mind), but the song is just too country-ish in wording. Nice voice, though.

The rest are skippers for this senior citizen!

But look how many songs are winners! In the words of a former favorite student: "But that's just me!"

Songs on cd are not as good as they usually have. I wouldn't buy it again. Thank goodness it was on sale.

This Now CD is probably one of the best Now's yet, other then Now 7, 15 and 23. All the songs on this CD are up to date and great party hits! Whoever came up with the idea of the "Now That's What I Call Music" series is the smartest person ever. And the bonus track really put the icing on the cake.

Now, Vol. 32
My 12 year old Granddaughter has all of the Now CD's up to 32, so this is a Christmas gift she will love.

My order date on this CD was 12/23/11. I got the CD on 12/26/11. It took them only 3 days to process my order. I'm so happy because I got the Now 32 right away. The CD is like new and still in original case. Thank you for a job well done. Keep it up for the excellent job and honesty.

When my daughter lost some of her Now CD's she was so upset, so it was great to be able to order them and get them in a timely fashion. It was exaclty what we ordered in the condition that was stated. You can't ask for much more.

As i always say, the Now compilations contain a lot of tracks that are skips for me personally, however as an aging disc jockey who needs the hot top 40 music, the Now series is the one. Clean edits with no explicit language make it perfect for playing at mobile events, particularly the high school and under 18 set. I can literally load this cd in my pc, hit continous play for no dead air between tracks and just walk away from my setup, in many cases. MOst kids gripe when the cd gets down to the Keith Urban songs which seem to be on every one of the discs in this series, however.
