NOW 40
The NOW series has reached 40, here in the U.S.
I have all 40. It is the modern day version of Rhino's legendary Super Hits of the 70's series, which tapped out at 25 volumes, but should have been longer.
And the closest thing we had to these in the 70's were those K-Tel compilations that I have fond memories of seeing advertised on TV.
If you still believe in the power of the Single, then these Now volumes are to be cherished. Not every song they put on there is a winner, but there's just enough good ones that make me believe that Top 40 radio will always survive.
