Allmusic critic Andy Kellman summarizes the chart performance of the songs in Now That's What I Call Music! 41 by noting that three of the songs, "Sexy and I Know It", "The One That Got Away", and "Domino", were in the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 at the time of the album's release in February 2012, and calling Lady Gaga's "Marry the Night" and Nickelback's "Lullaby" "duds in comparison". The inclusion of two country songs bring this edition a "more country flavor", at least compared to Now! 40 , and "the compilation's highlights" are Coldplay's "Paradise" and J. Cole's "Work Out".

The Billboard 200 is a record chart ranking the 200 most popular music albums and EPs in the United States. It is published weekly by Billboard magazine and is frequently used to convey the popularity of an artist or groups of artists. Often, a recording act will be remembered by its "number ones", those of their albums that outperformed all others during at least one week. The chart grew from a weekly top 10 list in 1956 to become a top 200 list in May 1967, and acquired its current name in March 1992. Its previous names include the Billboard Top LPs (1961–1972), Billboard Top LPs & Tape (1972–1984), Billboard Top 200 Albums (1984–1985) and Billboard Top Pop Albums (1985–1992).

The Digital Songs or Digital Song Sales chart ranks the best-selling digital songs in the United States, as compiled by Nielsen SoundScan and published by Billboard magazine. Although it originally started tracking song sales the week of October 30, 2004, it officially debuted in the issue dated January 22, 2005, and merged all versions of a song sold from digital music distributors. Its data was incorporated in the Hot 100 three weeks later. Since October 2004, digital sales have been incorporated into many of Billboard's music singles charts. The decision was based on the dramatic increase of the digital market while commercial single sales in a physical format were becoming negligible.
