My Thoughts:

If you follow my blog ,then you know that I love NOW That's What I Call Music! series, as I get to enjoy some of today's current hits all on one CD (or digital download).  With the cost of digital downloads always going up, I love how I can purchase this CD and get so many #1 hits, as well as hear songs from new and upcoming artists.  With this new release, you can hear songs from the Maroon 5, Chris Brown, Train, Pink, Kelly Clarkson and Usher, to name a few.  

I received this CD the other day and have already listened it to it half a dozen times through.  All the songs are great and ones I would listen to on mainstream radio, at my fingertips (as I listen to it while blogging or on the computer).  And, when I am on the go with the kids, I have a stack of NOW That's What I Call Music! in my middle console, so I am never without hit music.  :-)  Even the kids enjoy these hits.  Savannah is a fan of Flo Rida's "Whistle."  It is cute as she tries to whistle, but can't grasp the concept yet.  But, she still makes a blowing sound. :-)

There is no doubt that this CD will not rise to the top of the charts.  And, with the holidays right around the corner, this and other CDs in the NOW That's is What I Call Music! series would make great stocking stuffers, for every member of the family. :-)
