It’s Good, Not Great

With all of the hits we’ve had since “Now 60”, I was looking forward to this instalment of the Now series. When I saw the track list, I have to admit I was a bit disappointed with some of the songs. The first 9 tracks are a great and welcome addition to the compilation, especially “Scars To Your Beautiful”, but tracks 10, 13, and 14, really? “That’s My Girl” wasn’t a success, it peaked at No. 73 for one week, then dropped off the Hot 100 two weeks later. “Guys My Age” is a great song, but it hasn’t even charted, and “Treat You Better” is old now whereas “Mercy” is newer. They could’ve made room for more current hits, but it’s still a decent album. As for the What’s Next! portion, I’m so happy they put “Alaska” on here! I’m a bit surprised that JoJo was added, due to “No Apologies” being older. I do wish they would’ve added Bridgit Mendler to the What’s Next! section. This album is good, but it could’ve been better. 7/10
