Now That’s What I Call Music

Volume WHAT?!?

SMR Music , ,

I love music.  Not new news 😀

There is a series of CDs called “Now That’s What I Call Music” that compiles current hits from various artists onto one CD.  I love them.  It’s like an already-made mix tape without all the work.  ***winning ***  The first one I bought was Volume 2.  Released in 1999, it came out during my sophomore year of high school.

Fast forward to last week as I was walking around Target, and in the music section I saw “Now That’s What I Call Music, Volume 60”.

SIXTY?!?  Seriously?!??  WTH.  Talk about instantly making me feel old.

So just for fun, I thought I’d compare the lists between the two CDs – my first purchase in 1999 and the latest one released in Nov 2016.

  1. …Baby One More Time – Britney Spears
  2. You Get What You Give – New Radicals
