Album Notes
In its original UK incarnation, the NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC series has been providing instant snapshots of chart trends since the early 1980s. The series started much later in the United States, but it caught on with a vengeance during the teen pop explosion of the late '90s. NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC 19 contains a hint of nostalgia for the series' heady early days, with the inclusion of the Backstreet Boys' comeback single "Incomplete."
The rest of this 20-track compilation is a perfect recreation of the high points of the first half of 2005, kicking off with Gwen Stefani's "Hollaback Girl" (the most endearingly irritating novelty hit since Toni Basil's "Mickey"), and ending with Gorillaz' glorious De La Soul collaboration, "Feel Good Inc." Other highlights include the Killers' soaring alt-rocker "Mr. Brightside," the crunk/R&B duet "Oh" by Ciara and Ludacris, and Keith Urban's country weeper "Making Memories of Us," making this one of the more varied sets in the series.
