The last "Now" CD I bought was Now 6. This is the only one really that interested me since then, and I like most of the songs on it.
If you listen to Top-40 radio, and don't want to buy Britney Spears' new album, but like "Piece of Me," for example, it's good.

But if you've already bought Alicia Keys and Sara Bareillis, it's not that worthwhile.
Overall, though, it's a great album with lots of fun hits.

My main reason for purchasing this cd was that somebody at work would have on the radio and it seemed that the majority of these songs were being played in EXTREME HEAVY ROTATION and were playing the SAME ENTIRE blocks of music EVERY TWO HOURS!!!! Needless to say, I started to sing them in my head when the radio was turned off or I was at home. They became as Jordin Sparks would say, "...tattooed" on my brain and I just had to have them. I was laughing at myself because I never knew the titles or what the songs were about. I enjoy the Kanye West song "Flashing Lights", "Tattoo", "Paralyzer" "Clumsy" "Piece Of Me" and "Teardrops On My Guitar" since these were the ones that were played out the most on the radio along with "Kiss Kiss" and both Sean Kingston songs. I was disappointed in the Janet Jackson song and wondered why it wasn't a radio fave until I listened to it; not quite up to my standards for Ms. Jackson...sorry. The rest of the songs are great too, but, I got to know and love the others via being overplayed EVERY TWO HOURS. See, repetitiion can be a good thing...sometimes.

Now 27 rocks! Some songs most people won't listen to are on this album, but there is so little, that I give it 5 stars!

I love the NOW series. However this volume in the series does not have enough even amounts of each genre of music. There is way too much R&B/Hip Hop like stuff on the CD and not enough Pop, Country, Alternative and Rock tracks. I also don't like how NOW creators are censoring some songs that don't even need to be. On a previous volume one of Gwen Stefani's songs was censored even more than was on TV. I was like WTF. But anyways highlights of the CD are Tracks 14 to 20. Worst Tracks 8, 9, 10 and 11. Was an alright volume but there are better ones that have been released.

IF YOU LIKE ALL KINDS OF MUSIC AND HAVE KIDS (8YRS AND OLDER) ITS PERFECT !

WITH ALL OF THESE CD'S THERE ARE THOSE COUPLE SONGS THAT MAKE YOU CRINGE. BUT OVERALL I LIKED THE CD.

I strongly recommend buying the NOW cd's used. IF you wait a bit after they are released you can get a good deal.

I gave this CD to my grandson for Christmas. He was excited about receiving it. I was impressed with the short delivery time.
