Now That's What I Call Music! 38 was released on May 3, 2011. The album is the 38th edition of the Now! series in the United States. The album features six tracks that reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100: "Born This Way", "S&M", "Hold It Against Me", "Grenade", "E.T." and "Rolling in the Deep".
Now! 38 debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 albums chart with first week sales of 124,000.
Now! 38 is "nothing if not timely", says Andy Kellman of Allmusic, with eight songs in the top 20 of the Billboard Hot 100 at the time of its release. He also points out "the continued dominance of dance-pop" in this volume and the absence of any country and rock tracks.
