NOW That's What I Call Gold: The Ultimate Hits

£12.99

Released: 14th March 2025. NOW Music proudly presents 'NOW That's What I Call Gold - The Ultimate Hits'. This essential 4CD set brings together 85 tracks by legendary artists with timeless anthems, celebrating some of the greatest hits of all time, including chart-topping classics and enduring favourites. CD1 sets the stage with Queen's electrifying 'A Kind Of Magic', followed by Philip Bailey & Phil Collins' #1 'Easy Lover'. The Police feature with their #1 smash 'Message In A Bottle', while The Killers follow with their record-breaking anthem 'Mr. Brightside'. Massive recent #1s from Noah Kahan and Lewis Capaldi come ahead of contemporary classics from Coldplay and Duran Duran. Timeless tracks from legendary artists Aretha Franklin, The Supremes, Jackson 5 and Stevie Wonder feature alongside '60s pop from Dusty Springfield, Sonny & Cher and The Beach Boys before the disc closes with '70s hits from Rod Stewart, Wings and Elvis Presley. CD2 includes an amazing run of powerful ballads; Elton John's 'Tiny Dancer', Céline Dion's 'All By Myself', 'Without You' from Harry Nilsson and Billy Joel's signature 'Just The Way You Are'. The tempo changes with '70's disco smashes from Donna Summer, Chic, Sister Sledge and Barry White ahead of smooth, soulful hits from Lionel Richie and All-4-One, and peerless vocals from Dionne Warwick and Shirley Bassey with 'Walk On By' and 'Diamond Are Forever' respectively. The disc draws to a close with emotional tracks from Marianne Faithful with 'The Ballad Of Lucy Jordan' and Sinéad O'Connor with 'Northing Compares 2 U'. CD3 opens with Neil Diamond's singalong sensation 'Sweet Caroline'. Pop brilliance from Sophie Ellis-Bextor with 'Murder On The Dancefloor' and the irresistible hooks of Dexys Midnight Runners' 'Come On Eileen' are up next. Chart-conquering superstars Ed Sheeran, George Ezra, Pharrell Williams and The Weeknd with 'Blinding Lights' feature ahead of feel-good classics from Ricky Martin, Spice Girls, and S Club. Country flavoured hits from John Denver and Glen Campbell are alongside the collaboration between Mark Ronson and Miley Cyrus. The disc finishes with a run of early '80s essentials from Culture Club, Soft Cell, Philip Oakey & Giorgio Moroder and the timeless 'Vienna' from Ultravox. CD4 kicks off with a stellar run of enormous and anthemic hits including Spandau Ballet's 'Gold', Survivor's 'Eye Of The Tiger', Blondie with 'Heart Of Glass' and 'I Will Survive' from Gloria Gaynor. Natasha Bedingfield's 'Unwritten' recently became a hit for a second time and is celebrated alongside key hits from superstar groups One Direction, Take That and Westlife. More contemporary gems from Billie Eilish, OneRepublic and Lana Del Rey feature with beautiful performances from Sting and the Pretenders before the collection closes with three all-time classics: Marvin Gaye's 'I Heard It Through The Grapevine'. Ben E. King with 'Stand By Me' and Louis Armstrong's sublime 'What A Wonderful World'. 'NOW That's What I Call Gold' is a must-have for all music lovers -packed with legendary artists, timeless hits, and unforgettable moments in pop. Don't miss out on this golden treasure trove of musical brilliance!
