In terms of omissions, there are not that many notable absentees from this volume. A few Top 10 singles got overlooked from the likes of Lawson, Rihanna, Wretch 32, Loveable Rogues and Sub Focus with many others which didnt peak as high. A handful of artists make their only series appearance on this volume including Passenger, Icona Pop, Paramore, Imagine Dragons, Gabz, Sebastian Ingrosso (as a lead artist), Armin van Buuren, Chris Malinchak, Breach, Union J and Charlie Brown. Artwork Rating: 6/10 Good Its ok at best this artwork, I always like a good Summer theme done properly, and I like the beach landscape with palm trees and bright sunshine. Just the overuse of surfboards is a little much. I should score it less in fact for this is the second time surfboards have been used on the artwork for a Summer volume, previously seen on Now 64. Disc 1 Favourite: Imagine Dragons Radioactive One of the last great debut rock singles I remember discovering at the time, good enough to inspire me to buy their album at the time. They havent topped this single for me since then, but still a great band all the same. Disc 2 Favourite: Armin Can Buuren feat. Trevor Guthrie This Is What It Feels Like A feel good song which I played a lot from 2013, and I remember it put me in a good mood each time. Disc 3 Tracklist: (A concept of what a third disc might look like if other hits from the era were used) 1. Rihanna feat. Mikky Ekko Stay 4:00 {4} 2. Lawson feat. B.o.B Brokenhearted 3:29 {6} 3. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Ray Dalton Cant Hold Us 4:18 {3} 4. 2 Chainz & Wiz Khalifa We Own It 3:47 {6} 5. Wretch 32 feat. Shakka Blackout 3:46 {6} 6. Clean Bandit Mozarts House 3:51 {17} 7. AlunaGeorge Attracting Flies 3:09 {17} 8. Nicky Romero & Nervo Like Home 3:21 {33} 9. Sub Focus feat. Alex Clare Endorphins 4:06 {10} 10. Mat Zo & Porter Robinson Easy 5:39 {28} 11. Afrojack feat. Chris Brown As Your Friend 4:00 {21} 12. Stylo G Soundbwoy 3:48 {18} 13. Little Mix feat. Missy Elliott How Ya Doin 3:31 {16} 14. Stooshe Slip 3:45 {12} 15. Jennifer Lopez feat. Pitbull Live It Up 4:03 {17} 16. Iggy Azalea Work 3:43 {17} 17. Ke$ha feat. will.i.am Crazy Kids 3:49 {27} 18. Lovable Rogues What A Night 2:51 {9} 19. Nina Nesbitt Stay Out 2:45 {21} 20. Taylor Swift feat. Ed Sheeran Everything Has Changed 4:05 {7} 21. Kodaline High Hopes 3:51 {16} ---------- Total time: 1:19:37 Overall Rating: 8/10 Extremely Good This volume has a great selection of music from the time, a really good end result from the available tracks from the time. It was a good time for music in general and dance music was very much a prominent genre still. It always amused me that a song from the early 90s made a comeback reaching a new peak of #1 and all from an appearance on Ant & Decs Saturday Night Takeaway! A fine volume for sure! Andrew's Best 5 (as of May 2018) 1. Armin Can Buuren feat. Trevor Guthrie This Is What It Feels Like 2. Imagine Dragons Radioactive 3. Rudimental feat. Ella Eyre Waiting All Night 4. John Newman Love Me Again 5. Duke Dumont feat. A*M*E Need U (100%) Andrew's Worst 5 (as of May 2018) 1. Gabz Lighters (The One) 2. Bruno Mars Treasure 3. Michael Bublι Its A Beautiful Day 4. The Saturdays Gentleman 5. The Wanted Walks Like Rihanna |

Will do a proper write up later but~
How the hell is this Paramore & Imagine Dragons only Now album? Theyve each had lots of hits over the years In fact this Now especially there seems to be a large amount of alternative/rock songs both included and omitted |

This is such a great Now album! So many great tracks were released in the spring/summer of 2013!
Here's my Top 5:- 1) Daft Punk feat. Pharrell - Get Lucky 2) Paramore - Still Into You 3) Calvin Harris feat. Ellie Goulding - I Need Your Love 4) Chase & Status - Lost & Not Found 5) Duke Dumont feat A*M*E - Need You (100%) |

Disc One
1. Justin Timberlake Mirrors 4:38 {1} 2. Paramore Still Into You 3:35 {15} 3. Imagine Dragons Radioactive 3:07 {12} 4. Naughty Boy feat. Sam Smith La La La 3:40 {1} 5. Daft Punk feat. Pharrell Williams Get Lucky 4:09 {1} Disc Two 1. Sebastian Ingrosso feat. Tommy Trash & John Martin Reload 3:19 {3} 2. Rudimental feat. Ella Eyre Waiting All Night 3:34 {1} 3. Duke Dumont feat. A*M*E Need U (100%) 2:53 {1} 4. Pitbull feat. Christina Aguilera Feel This Moment 3:53 {5} 5. David Guetta feat. Ne-Yo & Akon Play Hard 3:28 {6} Artwork: 7/10 The artwork isn't bad, it's not necessarily anything note worthy but I've seen much much worse. Overall: 7/10 Overall this Now is an exceptional one for sure, Disc One is full of such great songs that have yet to get old for me. I can live without PJ & Duncan, Iggy Azalea, Fuse ODG, and Gabz - but that's just four songs from an otherwise fantastic disc. Disc Two is a bit more disappointing, the first 9 songs are 10/10 but everything after This Is What It Feels Like just falls flat for me really. Chocolate and Another Love are good but don't make up for everything around them :/ There's a handful of omissions that I do enjoy as songs but are understandably missing for the most part. Stay, Can't Hold Us, High Hopes (), Love Like This, Young And Beautiful, On Top Of The World, and Fall Down are songs I each love to varying amounts but I'm not surprised to see most of them missing. Stay is an odd case I think because at this point Rihanna was still letting her songs on Now albums. High Hopes would've been a superb addition to Disc One after Radioactive I think. |

Just looking at a few more of these, don't mind me
From 10 years ago Edition then.. I love the beach imagery on the disc covers so for that I put extremely good. First disc I'll have to go with John Newman as that song topping the chart back then was great although Daft Punk, Justin (prob my fave of his tbh), Olly and Passenger (yes we'll agree to disagree here ) are my highlights! Disc 2 though.... what a naff list lmao. Seriously bad oops. 'Another Love' a clear top pick here. To think what a streaming hit it's been and that it re entered the top 40 this year to have it so low!! Overall 5/10 though as the disc 2 let's it down for me as fab as the artwork is! |
