Now That's What I Call Music! 20 was released on November 1, 2005. The album is the 20th edition of the (U.S.) Now! series. It debuted at number-one on the Billboard 200 and is the eighth number-one album in the series. The albums has been certified 2x Platinum.
Now! 20 is the second in the series to not contain a Billboard Hot 100 number-one hit (Now! 13 being the first).
Andy Kellman in his review for AllMusic recognizes that a lot of top artists contribute to Now! 20 but those artists "deliver songs that are either tepid retreads or safe compounds of past hits", but it's the songs by the newer artists of the time "that keeps the compilation from being disposable", pointing out tracks by the Pussycat Dolls, Fall Out Boy, and Rihanna as standouts from this volume.
