And NOW, the 2013 Editions...
HAPPY THANKSGIVING!
And Happy 30th Anniversary to
Now That's What I Call Music.
The latest Now That's What I Call Christmas was released November 4, 2013 in the UK. It is a comprehensive three-disc collection of popular Christmas songs with a decidedly British bent. If you own any of the previous volumes in the UK Now Xmas series, you probably own most of these already although two songs appear for the first time on a Now Xmas album. Here's a handy dandy tracklist guide:

The eighth Holiday-themed Now album Stateside is simply titled Now Christmas. The double-disc collection was released way back on October 8th and features 32 songs. Like it's British cousin, this one has all been done before. If you missed the first seven, or especially if you own the first seven, this is a must buy. (HERC does not own all seven of the previous releases nor did he buy this one. Yet.)
