If you love the music of the 1970s, there’s another NOW compilation that deserves a place on your music shelf.

NOW That’s What I Call 70s Pop brings together 92 songs from one of the greatest decades in popular music. Released in March 2022, this four-CD collection celebrates the pop sounds of the seventies, featuring some of the biggest artists and most memorable songs of the era.

The 1970s gave us an amazing variety of music. From ABBA and Elton John to David Essex, The Bay City Rollers, Boney M. and The Wombles, there was always something playing on the radio.

This collection brings many of those memories together in one place.

I’ve included the complete track listing below, divided into the four CDs, so you can see exactly which songs are included.

 

Now That's What I Call 70s Pop

What’s included in NOW That’s What I Call 70s Pop?

The collection contains four CDs and 92 tracks, covering a wide selection of popular music from the 1970s.

There are plenty of familiar chart hits, along with some songs that might bring back memories you haven’t thought about for years.

The collection opens with ABBA’s ‘Mamma Mia’, followed by Elton John and Kiki Dee’s ‘Don’t Go Breaking My Heart’ and Boney M.’s ‘Rivers Of Babylon’.

You’ll also find glam rock favourites from Sweet, Mud and Wizzard, pop classics from The Osmonds and The Bay City Rollers, disco sounds from Donna Summer and George McCrae, and plenty more.

One of the attractions of this collection is its variety. It isn’t just a collection of one particular style of music. It moves between pop, glam, disco, easy listening, reggae and rock ‘n’ roll.

A look at the four CDs

CD 1 gets the collection off to a great start with ABBA, Elton John and Kiki Dee, Boney M., Donna Summer and David Soul. There are also plenty of glam rock favourites, including Sweet, Mud, Wizzard and T. Rex.

CD 2 takes a slightly different direction, with a mixture of easy-listening pop and familiar chart hits. Demis Roussos, Olivia Newton-John, The New Seekers, The Osmonds and Peters & Lee are among the artists featured.

CD 3 includes some big pop names, with David Essex, Donny Osmond, Michael Jackson and The Bay City Rollers. There are also some great songs from Mungo Jerry, Janet Kay, Althea and Donna and Steve Harley & Cockney Rebel.

CD 4 finishes with another varied selection. The Wombles, Boney M., Village People, Hot Chocolate, ABBA, Slade, Smokie and Wings are among the artists bringing the collection to a close.
