Not the best they've done of late...

Whilst I don't deny that the Now compilation is as British an institution as say, fish and chips or The Beatles, it has been known in the past to produce some quite awful compilations in dry periods. But usually, it has to be said, it's not always their fault. Especially since this summer so far has been absolutely awful (at least music wise).
Unlike Now 64 last year, which I found myself skipping hardly at all, I find myself only listening to about 9 tracks in total on here: Mutya Buena, Take That, Amerie, Maroon 5, McFly, Klaxons, Amy Winehouse, Paul McCartney and Groove Armada. The rest are frankly awful, none less than Kate Nash (do we need another Lily Allen?) and that stupid Rihanna song which as I write is about to be knocked off #1 after a frankly uncalled for 10 weeks. Where, for instance, was Sophie Ellis Bextor (yes, I know it only made #23, but it deserved to be on here)?
For once I shall not be buying this one. The 8 tracks I listed above are what keeps this from being a 1 star, but if you've got any common sense like me, I suggest you just buy the artists' albums instead. I hope Now 68 radically improves the situation, as this is the worst Now compilation I've heard since Now 61 two years ago.
