The omissions from this era are very short in supply, the highest peaking omission was another hit for boyband Union J. Elsewhere Taylor Swift remained off the tracklisting again, and so did The Weeknd, Echosmith, Fifth Harmony, Disciples, Bakermat, LuvBug, Mumford & Sons and Axwell Λ Ingrosso along with a handful of others too. This volume so far has been the only one to feature music from Alesso (as a lead artist), Marlon Roudette, Tough Love, Tchami, Karen Harding (as a lead artist), Alex Adair and McBusted. Artwork Rating: 8/10 Extremely Good This design is so effective, its great to see a splash of paint and the effects of the impact of colliding with the fresh white logo. I love the use of greens, reds, purples and blues. A true piece of art and really vibrant. Disc 1 Favourite: Years & Years King The start of Years & Years was a highlight for me. I adored Desire which was unfortunately not selected for this volume, but this #1 single was another fantastic offering from this British artist. Disc 2 Favourite: Philip George Wish You Were Mine A standout dance single from this era of high quality dance music. Not a UK #1 sadly but good enough to be the first track of Disc Two. May mistakenly be remembered as a one hit wonder but he returned to the charts again later in the year. Disc 3 Tracklist: (A concept of what a third disc might look like if other hits from the era were used) 1. Rihanna & Kanye West & Paul McCartney FourFiveSeconds 3:08 {3} 2. Taylor Swift Blank Space 3:51 {4} 3. Fifth Harmony Bo$$ 2:51 {21} 4. Mike Mago & Dragonette Outlines 3:04 {8} 5. Echosmith Cool Kids 3:35 {17} 6. Union J You Got It All 3:32 {2} 7. The Weeknd Earned It 4:10 {4} 8. Mumford & Sons Believe 3:41 {20} 9. Imagine Dragons I Bet My Life 3:14 {27} 10. Noel Gallaghers High Flying Birds In The Heat Of The Moment 3:29 {26} 11. Bring Me The Horizon Drown 3:41 {17} 12. 5 Seconds Of Summer Good Girls 3:27 {25} 13. Madonna Living For Love 3:38 {26} 14. Years & Years Desire 3:26 {22} 15. LuvBug Revive (Say Something) 3:38 {17} 16. Disciples They Dont Know 2:41 {24} 17. Hannah Wants & Chris Lorenzo Rhymes 3:18 {13} 18. Kiesza No Enemiesz 3:17 {30} 19. Bakermat Teach Me 3:09 {22} 20. MNEK The Rhythm 3:31 {38} 21. Axwell Λ Ingrosso Something New 4:07 {22} 22. Kodaline Honest 3:38 {39} 23. George Ezra Listen To The Man 3:03 {41} ---------- Total time: 1:19:09 Overall Rating: 9/10 Amazing Another pretty faultless volume with so many big hits from this era, making it harder for me to choose a good selection of songs to go on a Disc 3 tracklist (meaning I opted for a #41 flop single from George Ezra). A wonderful era of music and the last time before tropical dance music took over a lot of what charted. A great artwork design too. Its hard to say what would be needed to make this the best volume of all time but you have to say based on its content that it is surely up there with the best volumes in the series. Andrew's Best 5 (as of July 2018) 1. Philip George Wish You Were Mine 2. Tchami feat. Kaleem Taylor Promesses 3. Years & Years King 4. Avicii The Nights 5. Jess Glynne Hold My Hand Andrew's Worst 5 (as of July 2018) 1. Sam Smith Lay Me Down 2. Cheryl I Dont Care 3. Fergie L.A.LOVE (la la) 4. Rixton Wait On Me 5. Florence + The Machine What Kind Of Man |

Disc One
1. James Bay Hold Back The River 3:54 {2} 2. Alesso feat. Tove Lo Heroes (We Could Be) 3:27 {6} 3. Ed Sheeran Thinking Out Loud 4:35 {1} 4. Sia Elastic Heart 4:12 {10} 5. Years & Years King 3:30 {1} 6. Maroon 5 Sugar 3:52 {7} 7. Marlon Roudette When The Beat Drops Out 3:20 {7} 8. David Guetta feat. Emeli Sandι What I Did For Love 3:24 {6} 9. Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars Uptown Funk 3:57 {1} 10. Jess Glynne Hold My Hand 3:43 {1} Disc Two 1. Avicii The Nights 2:54 {6} 2. Philip George Wish You Were Mine 2:54 {2} 3. DJ Fresh feat. Ella Eyre Gravity 3:10 {4} 4. Sigma feat. Labrinth Higher 2:57 {12} 5. David Guetta feat. Sam Martin Dangerous 3:21 {5} 6. Florence + The Machine What Kind Of Man 3:35 {37} 7. Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding Outside 3:44 {6} 8. Gorgon City feat. Jennifer Hudson Go All Night 3:16 {14} 9. Oliver Heldens feat. KStewart Last All Night (Koala) 3:11 {5} 10. Blonde feat. Melissa Steel I Loved You 3:02 {7} Artwork: 7/10: I like the paint, it doesn't feel very unique but it's nice for what it is. The gap at the top is very noticeable though. I think maybe more paint was needed at the top, or another reflection, or just something to get rid of that empty space. Overall: 8/10 I remember this album missing a lot of hits, but apparently it doesn't? A handful of omissions for sure (Rihanna, Taylor, Echosmith, The Weeknd, ID, 5SOS, Bakermat, Axwell & Ingrosso, Kodaline, George Ezra, Selena Gomez) but are really understandable missing Oh well, a great Now album I guess |

Sam Martin - Dangerous 5) Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars - Uptown Funk This post has been edited by gavindeejay: 5th July 2018, 06:37 AM |

NOW 90 is okay, I do love the cover though. For me, there is too many average songs especially at the end on disc 2 and many songs on disc 1. I struggled to choose a favourite single for a while whilst most albums are instant.
My top 5: Oliver Heldens/Kstewart - Last All Night (Koala) David Guetta/Emeli Sandι - What I Did For Love Philip George - Wish You Were Mine Fergie - LA Love (too catchy!) David Guetta/Sam Martin - Dangerous |
