Description:

As reliable as ever, the Now series closes the noughties with a compilation aiming to reflect the decade`s chart music over 60 tracks. Featuring an impressive 51 number ones, Now That`s What I Call the 00s includes everything from female-led electro (Lady Gaga, Madonna) to retro-soul (Amy Winehouse, Duffy) to anthemic indie (Kaiser Chiefs, Razorlight). And in a decade dominated by reality TV, it`s no surprise to see the likes of Will Young and Girls Aloud appear, although there`s no room for American Idol Kelly Clarkson, original Popstars Hear`Say, or its biggest success story, Leona Lewis. From the late-noughties first disc, P!nk`s feisty "So What," Rihanna`s long-running chart topper "Umbrella," and Lily Allen`s atmospheric "The Fear" are the standouts, alongside the Fray`s angst-filled "How to Save a Life" and Katy Perry`s suggestive "I Kissed a Girl." Disc two, which covers the mid-`00s, features colossal hits from Gnarls Barkley, James Blunt, Pussycat Dolls, and Tony Christie`s unlikely career renaissance. But it`s the Killers` glorious "Mr Brightside," Shakira`s sensual "Hips Don`t Lie," and Nelly Furtado`s inventive "Maneater" that provide the highlights. The final disc features the boy band genre`s last hurrahs (Blue, McFly, Busted) a few one-hit wonders (3 of a Kind, Room 5) and several of the commercial dance anthems that ruled the charts in the early noughties (Shapeshifters, Fragma), with Spiller`s Posh Spice-defeating "Groovejet," Liberty X`s seductive "Just a Little," and Kylie`s iconic "Can`t Get You Out of My Head" the stand-out tracks. There are undoubtedly a few glaring omissions, with some of the decade`s biggest sellers notable by their absence, (Beyonc?, Eminem, Scissor Sisters) But overall, Now That`s What I Call the 00s is a fairly comprehensive retrospective which successfully represents an exciting and eclectic ten years of chart hits. ~ Jon O`Brien
