This is a very good CD no doubt about it but the reason i haven't given it 5 stars is because a handful of decent enough tracks aren't here! For instance where are?

Album Notes
Still as popular as ever, despite fears the download market would make its whole concept slightly redundant, the all-conquering Now That's What I Call Music series steamrolls onto its 80th installment with 43 of the biggest U.K. chart tracks from the second half of 2011. Highlighting just what a great year the U.K. hip-hop scene has had, there are number ones from Professor Green ("Read All About It"), Dappy ("No Regrets"), and Wretch 32 ("Don't Go"), while the six contributions from the various X Factor alumni (JLS, One Direction, Matt Cardle) and two tracks that belatedly became Top Ten hits thanks to being performed in the audition stages (Goo Goo Dolls' "Iris," Damien Rice's "Cannonball") show that while the TV show may have had a lackluster year, its impact on the charts still remains powerful. Elsewhere there are chart-toppers from Rihanna ("We Found Love"), Pixie Lott ("All About Tonight"), and Sak Noel ("Loca People"), contributions from ever-presents Adele ("Set Fire to the Rain"), David Guetta ("Without You"), and Bruno Mars ("Marry You"), and two appearances apiece from the likes of Maroon 5's Adam Levine, Emeli Sandé, and Calvin Harris. Highlights from the first disc include Olly Murs' early-'90s throwback "Heart Skips a Beat," the Saturdays' triumphant trance-pop floor-filler "All Fired Up," and Charlene Soraia's stripped-back cover version of the Calling's "Wherever You Will Go," while the bouncy R&B-pop of Cher Lloyd's "With Ur Love," Rizzle Kicks' infectious mariachi band anthem "Down with the Trumpets," and the retro soul of Maverick Sabre's "I Need" are the standouts from the second. The whole dubstep scene seems to have passed the compilers by with the recent number one from Nero conspicuous by its absence, while Ed Sheeran is the closest thing the record gets to anything approaching indie music. But while Now, Vol. 80 is perhaps the most dance-pop and R&B-heavy volume in its 28-year history, its 300,000 first-week sales show that it's certainly not going anywhere just yet. ~ Jon O'Brien

This is a very good CD no doubt about it but the reason i haven't given it 5 stars is because a handful of decent enough tracks aren't here! For instance where are?
JLS feat. Dev - She Makes Me Wanna - We get 'Take a Chance on Me' instead.
Cher Lloyd - Swagger Jagger - We get 'With Ur Love' instead.
Nero - Promises - Their previous single, 'Guilt' was included in 'Now 79' so why isn't this one on here?
Nicole Scherzinger - Right There - Again her previous single 'Don't Hold Your Breath' was included on 'Now 79' and Posion was on 'Now 78' this one charted just as high as posion but somehow didn't make it.
Beyonce - Best Thing I Never Had - Followed the trend from 'Now 79' really, 'Run the World (Girls)' wasn't on there, so they probably decided not to put this song on here.
The Black Eyed Peas - Don't Stop the Party
LMFAO - Sexy and I Know It - One of the most obvious ones yet. I haven't a clue why this song isn't on here.
Delilah - Go - Another obvious one. A real shame this one wasn't included.
Katy B - Easy Please Me
Chris Brown feat. Justin Bieber - Next 2 You
Benny Benassi feat. Gary Go - Cinema
Coldplay - Paradise - A really good song and again haven't a clue why this one didn't make it.
Foster the People - Pumped Up Kicks
That's just about all the obvious ones i can think of. All the ones i haven't put a description beside aren't so obvious as the ones i have commented on. If i write the Now 80 tracklist i would axe the following songs and put a couple in the above list on instead:-
Damien Rice - Cannonball
Lana Del Rey - Video Games
Maverick Sabre - I Need
Now there is one song i was quite surprised to see on here and that's 'The Edge of Glory' by Lady Gaga. That song is months old now and would have been better off on Now 79 really. I thought exactly the same thing with 'Born This Way' being on Now 79, thought it was too old for the tracklist and should have been on 'Now 78'. Anyhow its got to be the oldest song on here no question.
Despite all the crticism i've given the CD so far, it still has some great tracks on it such as 'We Found Love' by Rihanna featuring Calvin Harris, 'What Makes You Beautiful' by One Direction, 'Heart Skips a Beat' by Olly Murs, 'Iris' by the Goo Goo Dolls, 'Set Fire to the Rain' by Adele, 'It Girl' by Jason Derulo, 'Feel So Close' by Calvin Harris, 'Stay Awake' by Example and 'Party All Night (Sleep All Day)' by Sean Kingston.
But on the whole a very good CD which might just better last Winter's release of Now 77 (which i personally thought was slightly disapointing) and Now 78 but maybe not so good as the brilliant summer blockbuster Now 79. But if you like all of the latest chart hits and a bit of variety to your music, buy this CD!
