Due to Ed Sheeran being included on the previous volume, Now 96, it was a big omission to still not see Shape Of You get included despite its mammoth success. Drake was also overlooked along with omissions from Charlie Puth, Captain SKA, Imagine Dragons, Major Lazer, ZAYN and others. So far this is the only volume in the series to feature Luis Fonsi, French Montana (as a lead artist), Maggie Lindemann, Kendrick Lamar and Future. Artwork Rating: 7/10 Very Good The setting of an island is always a good idea for a Summer themed volume, and the sunny palm trees, coupled with overhead planes and water boats made it the perfect holiday themed cover. It lacks something of a unique quality though, but it is still a very good design and very vibrant. Disc 1 Favourite: Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson Symphony Probably the best song from Clean Bandits back catalogue, it was the last really good song released from them and went on to become Zara Larssons biggest hut to date. Disc 2 Favourite: Sigala & Ella Eyre Came Here For Love Most of the second disc in this volume hasnt aged too well in time, and theres not a lot I choose to come back to these days, but Ive chosen another solid hit from Sigala to be the standout from this disc. Disc 3 Tracklist: (A concept of what a third disc might look like if other hits from the era were used) 1. Ed Sheeran Shape Of You 3:53 {1} 2. Drake Passionfruit 4:58 {3} 3. Major Lazer, Travis Scott & Camila Cabello feat. Quavo Know No Better 3:45 {15} 4. Calvin Harris feat. Young Thug, Pharrell Williams & Ariana Grande Heatstroke 3:49 {25} 5. KYLE feat. Lil Yachty iSpy 3:47 {33} 6. Childish Gambino Redbone 5:26 {51} 7. Lana Del Rey feat. The Weeknd Lust For Life 4:24 {38} 8. Kesha Praying 3:50 {30} 9. Imagine Dragons Thunder 3:07 {20} 10. Paramore Hard Times 3:02 {34} 11. Stargate feat. P!nk & Sia Waterfall 3:20 {47} 12. Fall Out Boy Young And Menace 3:43 {67} 13. George Ezra Dont Matter Now 2:56 {66} 14. Charlie Puth Attention 3:28 {9} 15. 5 After Midnight Up In Here 3:21 {51} 16. The Vamps feat. Martin Jensen Middle Of The Night 2:54 {44} 17. John Gibbons P.Y.T. (Pretty Young Thing) 3:15 {48} 18. INDIIA feat. Whitney Phillips Out Of Love 3:26 {60} 19. Wizkid feat. Drake Come Closer 3:31 {58} 20. Kid Ink feat. Ty Dolla $ign F With U 2:59 {52} 21. Zayn feat. PARTYNEXTDOOR Still Got Time 3:08 {24} 22. G-Eazy & Kehlani Good Life 3:45 {53} ---------- Total time: 1:19:47 Overall Rating: 5/10 Poor Perhaps Im being too critical given what was available to choose from during this time period, but definitely having the most talked about song of the moment by Ed Sheeran excluded for a second time (following its eligibility for Now 96) meant that this volume just lacked that spark, and there arent too many fond memories of this era for me, however, it is a better score given than the last volume. Andrew's Best 5 (as of March 2022) 1. Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson Symphony 2. Sigala & Ella Eyre Came Here For Love 3. Cheat Codes feat. Demi Lovato No Promises 4. The Chainsmokers & Coldplay Something Just Like This 5. Calvin Harris fear. Pharrell Williams, Katy Perry & Big Sean Feels Andrew's Worst 5 (as of March 2022) 1. Artists For Grenfell Bridge Over Troubled Water 2. J Hus Did You See 3. Fifth Harmony feat. Gucci Mane Down 4. Nick Jonas feat. Anne-Marie & Mike Posner Remember I Told You 5. NEIKED feat. MIMI Call Me |

Not a great album in my opinion. Disappointing after a string of fantastic summer editions. Disc 1 far ahead of Disc 2. Disc 2 is only good as far as track 8, then the rest is filler.
My top 7: Symphony Something Just Like This On My Mind Instruction No Promises Feels Power |
