Now 46 probably wins, it has that Bloodhound Gang song and Uncle John From Jamaica by the Vengaboys.

Ooh, Now 39 was the first one I bought!
It was also the first CD I bought (as opposed to tape). I think I've got Now 45 and 47 hanging around somewhere too. Couldn't tell you what was on them though.
I own Now 29-37 on Cassette
oh yes : )
Someone's already (correctly) identified Now 32 as the finest. I'm therefore going to hit you with the might of Now 37:
Tape 1 Side A
1. Hanson- MMMbop
2. Eternatl ft. Bebe Winans- I Wanna Be The Only One
3. The Cardigans- Lovefool
4. No Doubt- Just A Girl
5. Sash! Ft. Rodriguez (whose only contribution was shouting "ECUADOR!!" every now and then)- Ecuador
6. No Mercy- Where Do You Go
7. Spice Girls- Who Do You Think You Are
8. Ultra Nate- Free
9. Rosie Gaines- Closer Than Close
10. George Michael- Star People (Forthright Edit) (sadly not as good as the original)
11. En Vogue- Don't Let Go (Love)
Side B
1. Shola Ama- You Might Need Somebody
2. Coolio ft. 40 Thevz- C U When U Get There (massively overlooked follow up to gangster's paradise)
3. Warren G. Ft. Ron Isley- Smokin' Me Out
4. R. Kelly- I Believe I Can Fly
5. Damage- Wonderful Tonight
6. 911- The Journey
7. Boyzone- Isn't It A Wonder
8. Backstreet Boys- Quit Playing Games (With My Heart)
9. N-Tyce- Hey DJ! (Play That Song)
10. Foxy Brown ft. Jay Z- I'll Be
Tape 2 Side A (songs 3-8 are either all "Noelrock or have links with Oasis at the time- brilliant"
1. Wet Wet Wet- If I Never See You Again
2. U2- Staring At The Sun
3. The Verve- Bittersweet Symphony
4. The Seahorses- Love Is The Law
5. Ocean Colour Scene- 100 Mile High City
6. Robbie Williams- Old Before I Die
7. Cast- Guiding Star
8. Paul McCartney- Young Boy (which I inexplicably loved)
9. Sheryl Crow- A Change Would Do You Good
10. Radiohead- Paranoid Android
Side B
1. Texas- Halo
2. Supergrass- Sun Hits The Sky
3. James- Waltzing Along
4. Blur- On Your Own
5. Fun Lovin' Criminals- Scooby Snacks
6. Orbital- The Saint
7. Brainbug- Nightmare
8. The Course- Ain't Nobody
9. Todd Terry ft. Martha Wash and Jocelyn Brown
10. Diddy- Give Me Love
I think you'll agree this was a fine fine tape, caught as it was between the transitions of favourite boy/girl groups starting to grow up (Boyzone, Spice Girls), Britpop fading out (Cast, Seahorses) and old skool house enjoying its last hurrah...of course at the time I was 9 and most likely didn't make any of these deductions.
It's when you read these
that you realise how odd they must have seemed - Macca/Crow/Paranoid Android?
haha i know..
