VA - NOW That's What I Call Gold, The Ultimate Hits [2025] (4 x CDs)

Remember when turning on the radio felt like magic? When every chorus stuck like glue and every verse was a time stamp on your life? Released by NOW Music, NOW That’s What I Call Gold, The Ultimate Hits brings it all rushing back. This 4CD (85 track) collection is like flipping through the best moments of pop history with a mixtape made by your younger self, only this time, it’s been given the deluxe treatment. Queen, Elton, Whitney, ABBA, Tina… they’re all here, strutting across decades, from glitter-soaked dance floors to misty-eyed slow dances.

It’s not just about the obvious hits (though you’ll find plenty of those). It’s the way the tracklist weaves together sounds that defined summers, school dances, heartbreaks, and road trips. You’ll go from the euphoric disco punch of “I Will Survive” to the smooth ache of “Careless Whisper” without missing a beat. Then newer icons like Dua Lipa and Ed Sheeran step in to remind you: the pop torch is still burning bright.

Whether you’re reliving golden years or discovering classics for the first time, NOW Gold hands you the keys to a treasure chest of unforgettable songs. Turn it up. Let it hit. Let it glow. (B)
