Album Notes and Credits

Notes & Personnel Info
Arranger: Cherry Poppin' Daddies.
The original Now That's What I Call Music! series began in the U.K. in 1983. Since then, a few additional volumes have been added during each successive year. For pop fans in the U.K., the series has become a reliable and timely way to pick up a bunch of chart hits in one shot, and it tends not to discriminate between genres, meaning that it regularly delivers a representative snapshot of a specific point in time. Virgin, with help from Polygram and Universal, launched a U.S. series of the same name in late 1998. This was just as singles -- in the physical, buyable sense -- began to be phased out in the marketplace. The first volume covers hits of several stripes from the past year and a half or so, with rock (Lenny Kravitz' "Fly Away," Hanson's "MMMBop," Fastball's "The Way"), R&B (Brian McKnight's "Anytime," Janet Jackson's "Together Again," K-Ci & JoJo's "All My Life"), and dance-pop (Aqua's "Barbie Girl," the Spice Girls' "Say You'll Be There," All Saints' "Never Ever") covered rather equally. It was a ho-hum period for popular music, especially where mainstream rock is considered. Don't blame the compilers of this set. ~ Andy Kellman
NOW is the kind of compilation that, upon its release, perfectly captures the spirit of the pop music moment and makes for a great nostalgia trip ten years later. This collection essentially functions as a state of the union address for top 40 circa 1998. NOW runs the gamut from hard-edged rock to dance pop, the only connecting thread being the contemporaneous popularity of all the tracks. There's the arch alternative rock of Fastball ("The Way") and Harvey Danger ("Flagpole Sitta"), the neo-swing of Cherry Poppin' Daddies ("Zoot Suit Riot") and the slickly produced, danceable pop of the Spice Girls "Say You'll Be There." The relative shelf-life of the artist may vary from cut to cut on NOW, but it's a perfect snapshot of the music that worked its way into the American psyche in the late '90s.
