Surprised you haven't done a Ministry Of Sound thread yet to talk about their spin-offs. Speaking of NOW, they haven't come up with an official release date for 95 yet but I think it will be the 18th November
Posted by: lewistgreen 10th October 2016, 07:08 AM
I created one http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=179697&hl=Ministry, just haven't kept it updated
Posted by: Spiral 10th October 2016, 03:00 PM
A list of upcoming releases on the main post would be good. Similar to the one on the first thread.
I'm so excited for NOW 95! 94 was a fantastic album.

Absolutely Spiral, I'll work on that as soon as I've submitted my BJSC votes!

Sia - "The Greatest" is set to appear on an upcoming compilation called Keep Calm & Chill. Problem is, the version which appears is the solo version which means we'll get that version on NOW 95
Posted by: awardinary 14th October 2016, 09:46 AM
Does anybody know if we have the official tracklisting confirmed for Now 20th Century which is due for release next week?
Once it is confirmed I will update the opening post of this thread.

They've got the Closer rights at least, which means Now 95 won't be without a No.1 (not that it was ever going to be anyway).
Posted by: Hadji 18th October 2016, 01:03 PM
I just hope they get the rights to Drake on there even if it's "Controlla" or "Too Good". As for Jess Glynne on NOW No.1 Hits, they should replace HMH with DBSHOY as DBSHOY hasn't yet appeared on a NOW spin off
Posted by: awardinary 18th October 2016, 01:10 PM
Now That's What I Call Another Recycled Compilation! 
Have we not got the artwork yet then?
Posted by: Hadji 18th October 2016, 02:02 PM
Yes we have. It's on their page http://www.nowmusicstore.com/*/*/NOW-That-s-What-I-Call-No-1-Hits/5C7U0000000 In other news, NOW 95 finally has a release date of 18th November.
Posted by: Spiral 18th October 2016, 05:23 PM
Apparently we're also getting NOW 70s around the same time according to Amazon! It's a spin-off fans have been wanting, so I'm excited. I quite like the No. 1 Hits album! There are some nostalgic tracks on that one.
Posted by: Hadji 18th October 2016, 06:05 PM
At least with NOW 70s, they can't just reuse songs from the numbered editions
although I'm willing to bet that "Bohemian Rhapsody" will be on there
Posted by: Hadji 19th October 2016, 06:57 PM
Destiny's Child - "Say My Name" needs to be omitted from NOW 20th Century as it was released in 2000
Posted by: deepinside 19th October 2016, 09:00 PM
Speculation: My Sweet Lord, Bridge Over Trouble Water, American Pie, Imagine, Bohemian Rhapsody, Dancing Queen, Stayin Alive, You're The One That I Want, Rivers of Babylon, YMCA, I Will Survive and Heart of Glass must be on the "Now That's What I Call the 70s".
Posted by: Hadji 19th October 2016, 09:14 PM
I just hope "Another Brick In The Wall", "Brass In Pocket", "You To Me Are Everything", "I Don't Like Mondays", "Cool For Cats", "Love Really Hurts Without You", "Video Killed The Radio Star", "Are Friends Electric?" and "Cars" get an appearance and I'm willing to bet that "Maggie May" will be on there
Posted by: JosephStyles 19th October 2016, 09:24 PM
As a single maybe, but its parent album was out in 1999 so it's technically eligible
(I see your point though)
Posted by: Hadji 19th October 2016, 09:36 PM
(I see your point though)Yeah that's right. If they wanted to include DC, the album would have been better if it had "Bills, Bills, Bills" or "Bug A Boo" as they were officially released as singles in 1999
Posted by: awardinary 19th October 2016, 10:32 PM
I've seen a digital only Now Halloween album advertised, but I think it might have been released the previous year and is just getting promoted again?
Posted by: Hadji 19th October 2016, 10:34 PM
No. it's only available for streaming on the NOW Music app
Posted by: Taylor Jago 20th October 2016, 07:17 AM
The 20th century started on January 1st, 1901 and ended on December 31st, 2000.
Although I prefer to call the period from 01/01/1900 to 31/12/1999 the 20th century.
Posted by: Common Sense 20th October 2016, 08:55 AM
although I'm willing to bet that "Bohemian Rhapsody" will be on thereI bought Now That's What I Call A Million and I bet the 70's ones on there will be on Now 70's too: Bohemian Rhapsody, Rivers Of Babylon, Mull Of Kintyre, Imagine, Heart Of Glass and YMCA.
Posted by: Hadji 20th October 2016, 10:19 AM
Another NOW spin off coming on 2nd December titled NOW Party Hits. Bet it will be only recent hits, the majority being on NOW 95 https://www.amazon.co.uk/Thats-What-Call-Party-Hits/dp/B01M01ZKM0
Posted by: awardinary 20th October 2016, 12:29 PM
Man they're really going for it this year aren't they! 
So that's Now 95, 20th Century, 70's and Party Hits all to come before Christmas!
Posted by: lewistgreen 20th October 2016, 12:55 PM
Well if it's anything like Party Anthems from last year then it'll be rubbish. I'd like to be proved wrong though
Posted by: Hadji 20th October 2016, 12:57 PM
As long as there's some classics and not just reused songs from the numbered series, I'll be happy. And by the way, NOW Disney Princess which is out next month is exactly the same as the 2013 version; it's just the cover is different
Posted by: Common Sense 20th October 2016, 04:08 PM
So that's Now 95, 20th Century, 70's and Party Hits all to come before Christmas!
All on consecutive Fridays from 11th Nov. to 2nd Dec too! Wonder if they'll have the compilation chart top 5 with Now Christmas in there too. I'll probably buy Now 70's as I'm an old fogey. Doubt there's any that I haven't got on my many other 70's compilations though.
Posted by: Common Sense 20th October 2016, 04:10 PM
Just been looking at the Nows on Amazon and a new copy of Now....Wedding is going for £99.95!
Posted by: Common Sense 20th October 2016, 04:27 PM
Oh now this is interesting. According to Wiki, the original Now Christmas album from 1985 is to be re-issued on vinyl on 25th November. Should be on CD too. I assume Gary Glitter will be omitted. Wiki's speaking in the past tense!
From Wiki: The original "Now - The Christmas Album" from 1985 was reissued on vinyl format on 25 November 2016. The limited edition 2016 vinyl format includes the original artwork and remastered sound.

What's the point of a Now Love album in November? Why not just wait two months for the Valentine's market instead of releasing this the same day as Now 95!
And Let It Go? It's a ballad yes, but a love song?
The I'm Like A Bird > Birdy sequencing is quite funny though.
Posted by: Hadji 21st October 2016, 10:26 PM
And Let It Go? It's a ballad yes, but a love song?
The I'm Like A Bird > Birdy sequencing is quite funny though.
3rd February 2017 would have been an ideal release date or maybe they're saving it for something else for the Valentine's market. If they wanted to include Jess Glynne, "Take Me Home" would have suited the album more than "Hold My Hand". At least we know that James Arthur and Shawn Mendes will be on NOW 95
Posted by: awardinary 21st October 2016, 10:52 PM

Posted by: Hadji 22nd October 2016, 12:52 AM
There's four songs we know which will definitely be on the album: "Say You Won't Let Go", "Cold Water", "Closer" and "Mercy"
Posted by: Ultraviolence1989 22nd October 2016, 12:59 AM
That NOW Love compilation would usually be awful- like most of the spinoffs- but then my 2 favourite songs of all time are back to back
Posted by: Hadji 22nd October 2016, 02:15 AM
I just hope that this years John Lewis song makes it onto NOW 95. If it doesn't, it should appear on NOW 96. The only John Lewis song which appeared on a Spring NOW was "Your Song" on NOW 78
Posted by: awardinary 22nd October 2016, 07:01 AM
Which two songs is that Sam?
Posted by: awardinary 22nd October 2016, 07:05 AM
I'm pretty sure they've consistently been putting the John Lewis songs on Winter volumes deliberately.
I imagine it would be something choir sounding such as Military Wives.
The official Children In Need single should be out soon, I have a feeling it might be recorded by Ed Sheeran.
Posted by: Hadji 22nd October 2016, 01:41 PM
If they wanted to include Calvin Harris on NOW Love, a song of his which would fit the album more is "Feel So Close"
Posted by: lewistgreen 22nd October 2016, 04:59 PM
I like that prediction but I'm sceptical about inclusions for a Lady Gaga and Katy Perry. I doubt we'll get double entry from Drake either but Once Dance is most certainly likely over Too Good if we don't
Posted by: Hadji 22nd October 2016, 05:05 PM
Florence peaked lower than both Katy and Gaga and spent only a week in the top 40 and that was when the charts were less stale. As for Drake, I hope we get "One Dance" but "Too Good" seems more likely

The official tracklisting could drop this Friday.

Because Of You/Let It Go
Would love the NOW 95 tracklist to drop this week!
Posted by: Hadji 25th October 2016, 12:36 AM
It will be the Friday after. Although the earliest they've dropped the tracklist for a numbered NOW was NOW 78's tracklist which was unveiled 26 days before the release date

may make a prediction for 95 later.
Posted by: Hadji 27th October 2016, 02:30 PM
I just hope they haven't yet finalised the tracklist for NOW 95 so we can have tomorrow's major releases on the album i.e. Jonas Blue and Louisa Johnson

...so not the original vinyl album at all, then, that's a completely different tracklist to the original. Fairytale of New York didn't even exist in 1985.
How weirdly bizarre and pointless.

Very impressive, and I like how you've accounted for timings too!
My only complaint is the absence of these songs;
Drake feat. Wizkid & Kyla One Dance {1} (a surefire definite after achieving 16 weeks at the top)
Fifth Harmony feat. Fetty Wap All In My Head (Flex) {25} (These girls have had a big year, I think this will make the cut)
Fifth Harmony That's My Girl {31} (Or maybe they will use this one as it is more recent)
Katy Perry Rise {25} (Might seem a bit old now, but it is Katy Perry after all)
5 Seconds Of Summer Girls Talk Boys {28} (An outside chance, but it was Top 30)
Kideko & George Kwaki feat. Nadia Rose & Sweetie Irie Crank It (Woah!) {50} (Seeing this do well on iTunes, it ought to climb up the charts yet and have a chance at making the cut, it's a different sound too)
The Vamps feat. Matoma All Night {42} (I think this will climb too)
Children In Need 2016 single {TBC} (It has happened before that a CIN official single has been put on a Winter volume, but this might well be worth holding onto until Now 96 when it's dead and buried)
Other outsiders which are unlikely to be included;
Snakehips feat. Zayn Cruel {33}
MK & Becky Hill Piece Of Me {37}
Britney Spears feat. G-Eazy Make Me... {42}
Tove Lo Cool Girl {46}
Tory Lanez Luv {47}
DNCE Toothbrush {49}
The 1975 Somebody Else {55}
Busted On What You're On {60}
Robbie Williams Party Like A Russian {68}
Great tracklist though.
Posted by: Dannoween 28th October 2016, 12:23 PM
21. Mike Perry feat. Shy Martin - The Ocean (3:08)
22. Little Mix - You Gotta Not (3:11)
23. Kings Of Leon - Waste A Moment (3:03)
24. Years & Years - Meteorite (3:25)
I doubt these will get included, they've not been big enough (and that Little Mix one is just an instant grat at the moment).
Would replace with:
Drake feat. Wizkid & Kyla One Dance
Drake feat. Rihanna - Too Good
Fifth Harmony feat. Fetty Wap All In My Head (Flex)
Fifth Harmony That's My Girl
Empty space (they don't usually have more than 23 songs on a disc)
and if they still can't get rights to Drake songs:
Katy Perry Rise
Snakehips feat. Zayn Cruel
Posted by: Hadji 28th October 2016, 01:08 PM
Don't care which Drake song we get as long as we get one of them. I'm wondering if we'll get Jonas Blue and Louisa Johnson as they're too recent. If not, we should get them on NOW 96 but they'll have even newer songs out by then. I also hope that NOW 95 has between 44 and 46 tracks as NOW 94 only had 42 which was too less

Not a Now album but Bravo Hits tracklists are often posted in here so I'm going to post this too as I have a feeling it will appeal to a few poster...this compilation Ultimate...Feelgood came out last week and has loads of stuff from this year sprinkled alongside lots of classics. Some really interesting choices on here.
How did Blush by T4PY make it on though (and Isac Elliot tbh, as good as the track is), must be pressure from all those T4PY stans on Buzzjack

Interesting tracklist but how does Britney's Born To Make You Happy makes you feel good
Posted by: Taylor Jago 28th October 2016, 08:20 PM
Would replace with:
Drake feat. Wizkid & Kyla One Dance
Drake feat. Rihanna - Too Good
Fifth Harmony feat. Fetty Wap All In My Head (Flex)
Fifth Harmony That's My Girl
Empty space (they don't usually have more than 23 songs on a disc)
and if they still can't get rights to Drake songs:
Katy Perry Rise
Snakehips feat. Zayn Cruel
I probably would have stopped after The Ocean, but there was still 10 minutes of space left, so I added the three last songs.
I actually originally put That's My Girl in You Gotta Not's place, but I decided to leave it off, and I'll explain why: as of now, we're not quite sure if it's going to be a massive hit or if it's going to fall back down, or somewhere in the middle. And I'd rather not base its position on the album on its current peak, in case it goes top 10. It would be out of place if a massive hit was at the end of Disc 2 (see "Chandelier" on Now 88). On the other hand, I don't want to base its position on the album on the hype, in case it just falls off. It would be out of place if a massive flop was near the start of Disc 1 (see "Get Stupid" on Now 91). It's best to wait until Now 96 to see how it does.
Posted by: Hadji 30th October 2016, 05:46 PM
On the NOW 70s track list, if they wanted to include Kenny Rogers, they should have included his #1 single "Lucille" instead of his top 30 single "The Gambler"
Posted by: Common Sense 30th October 2016, 05:53 PM
Agreed. Am gobsmacked that Bo Rhap isn't on.
Posted by: Rob Spears 30th October 2016, 06:03 PM
I can only think because it's got the word 'happy' in it.
Posted by: Hadji 30th October 2016, 06:49 PM
I am gobsmacked about the amount of artists being omitted from the album despite having massive hits in the 70s: Showaddywaddy, Bay City Rollers, Slade, Boomtown Rats, Squeeze, Mud, T Rex, Tony Orlando & Dawn, Boney M, Elvis Presley, Bee Gees, Ian Dury & The Blockheads, Pop Muzik, The Real Thing, Mungo Jerry, Gary Numan, Tubeway Army, Pink Floyd, Pretenders (although "Brass In Pocket" is an 80s #1, it still entered the charts in the 70s)
Posted by: Hadji 30th October 2016, 10:57 PM
For Harry Nilsson, they should swap his top 30 single "Everybody's Talkin'" for his #1 single "Without You". That's one reason they should swap them but the main reason they should swap them is because "Everybody's Talkin'" is a 60s song, not a 70s song
Posted by: awardinary 31st October 2016, 12:39 PM
With the release of Now 95 just over 2 weeks away, I feel pretty certain that we should see the official tracklisting this week, so stay tuned!

They've just announced on Facebook that the tracklist will be revealed tomorrow, on a Wednesday, which is contrary to tradition. Keep your eyes peeled!
Posted by: Hadji 1st November 2016, 05:40 PM
Maybe they're announcing it tomorrow so they can publish the track list for NOW Party Hits on Friday on their store page. As long as NOW 95 has at least one Drake track and 44-46 tracks, I'll be happy

Dangerously and After The Afterparty!!!! ❤️
That's a fabulous tracklist actually!
Posted by: UltraBasicWitch 2nd November 2016, 04:58 PM
I think Heathens and Rise are actually the only two songs I'm upset that missed! (Yasss at neither of Weeknd/Bruno appearing *.*)
Posted by: Hadji 2nd November 2016, 04:59 PM
Gutted that both Suicide Squad songs and Jonas Blue's new song have missed out. At least we got "One Dance". Bit annoyed that Kendrick Lamar has been omitted from both songs he features on
Posted by: gooddelta 2nd November 2016, 04:59 PM
Wilkinson and JP Cooper tho? As if they'll ever be hits of any kind...
Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 2nd November 2016, 05:01 PM
No John Lewis 2016?
Posted by: Hadji 2nd November 2016, 05:02 PM
And no Bruno Mars or The Weeknd but we have Michael Bublι and Charlie Puth

Posted by: gooddelta 2nd November 2016, 05:05 PM
A handful of rather unexpected choices, it has to be said. I'm glad One Dance is on there, even if I'm not wild about the song, looks like it's closing CD1, with DJ Snake opening CD2, unless CD1 has 21 tracks and CD2 has 24, which is not impossible but seems unbalanced.
Posted by: gavindeejay 2nd November 2016, 05:06 PM
So this years John Lewis track isn't appearing on Now 95 then, but good to see Sigma and Birdy, which is out on Friday!
So Drake is the last track on CD 1 then? If not CD 1 will have 21 tracks and CD2 will have 24?
Edit: Looks like goodelta and I are on the same wavelength
Posted by: awardinary 2nd November 2016, 05:28 PM
Whose to say that the John Lewis ad might be one of the lesser known songs such as James TW or JP Cooper?
In any case, it's a pretty alright effort, and with 45 songs I'm pleased with the quantity.
Of the missed songs, I would really have liked to have Twenty One Pilots, Kideko and the other single by Fifth Harmony.
Posted by: JosephStyles 2nd November 2016, 05:32 PM
I'd expect Drake is track 1 of disc 2 tbh!
I guess it's not impossible for the John Lewis song to be added later, normally it says TBA but it could still be slotted in on disc 1 if Drake actually is on disc 2?
Posted by: ML Hammer95 2nd November 2016, 05:39 PM
Got to be the worst Now tracklist in a while . Or the music I like is increasingly disappearing from the chart or not eligible for selection. Either way, worst since at least 2012.
Posted by: Hadji 2nd November 2016, 05:41 PM
"Crank It" is on its way to becoming a hit so I imagine if it's a massive hit by next year, we'll have it on NOW 96

John Lewis rocking that tropical house vibe for the 2K16 heartstrings tug.
Posted by: Danvember 2nd November 2016, 06:01 PM
erm wtf at JP Cooper, Michael Bublι and Wilkinson who have barely any chance of being future hits Unless JP Cooper's used in an advert like Grace was last year (when we all thought that was a wtf inclusion then it turned out to be a big hit).
Posted by: Cody Slayberry 2nd November 2016, 06:12 PM
Did they not have the compilation rights to the Suicide Squad tracks?
Posted by: Jade 2nd November 2016, 06:18 PM
A pretty strong track list here but 'Heathens' is a huge omission for me.
Posted by: twentyonemdh 2nd November 2016, 06:30 PM
Bizarre tracklist, is a real shame Crank It (Woah!) missed out
Posted by: Houdini 2nd November 2016, 06:37 PM
One Dance going on this 4 months too late, I'm surprised 24K Magic isn't on this.
Posted by: Taylor Jago 2nd November 2016, 06:37 PM
"Heathens" should absolutely be on the tracklist! Can't you get any rights, Now?
Also, "This Town" being the last song on the album is strange. I would have expected it to be on Disc 1 (in fact every prediction made here had it on Disc 1), so I'm quite surprised.
Posted by: Hadji 2nd November 2016, 06:39 PM
"24K Magic" will probably be on NOW 96 along with the next single from that album
Posted by: Spiral 2nd November 2016, 06:44 PM
I can't believe people are complaining about omissions from this NOW. This yet another perfect track listing, so much amazing Pop and chart hits I thought they couldn't out-do NOW 94, apparently they can!
Disc 2 is absolutely fabulous! 
Posted by: Spiral 2nd November 2016, 06:44 PM
Double post, sorry!
Posted by: T Boy 2nd November 2016, 06:48 PM
Do I get this or not? I'm not sure I know less than half of those and most of the music I've enjoyed from the past few months couldn't even crack the top 40 so they were never going to appear. I was going to try and make it to 100 but I'm not sure I can be bothered.
Posted by: Hadji 2nd November 2016, 06:52 PM
Even if I don't like the track list, I'll get it on the principal that I have every other NOW album. I'm hoping for another source to see if the track list is 21-24 or 22-23
Posted by: Hadji 2nd November 2016, 07:06 PM
That will probably be on NOW 96. They have had John Lewis songs on Spring NOWs before: "Your Song" on NOW 78 and "The Power Of Love" on NOW 84
Posted by: PeteFromLeeds 2nd November 2016, 07:53 PM
September Song! 
Really unexpected surprise for my Personal Chart #1. Hoping something comes out of this
Posted by: 🎄cqmerqn🎄 2nd November 2016, 08:09 PM
I'm surprised that The Vamps haven't been added!
Posted by: Dobbo 2nd November 2016, 11:21 PM
Craig David doing the Children In Need song is the best news out of this.
Posted by: Hadji 3rd November 2016, 10:39 AM
According to OCC, the tracks are 22-23, not 21-24
Posted by: awardinary 3rd November 2016, 02:15 PM
If these songs continue to do well in the charts as they are at present then we might see them on Now 96;
Bruno Mars 24K Magic
The Weeknd feat. Daft Punk Starboy
Olly Murs Grow Up
Lady Gaga Million Reasons
Jonas Blue feat. Raye By Your Side
Kideko & George Kwaki feat. Nadia Rose & Sweetie Irie Crank It (Woah!)

Bruno Mars 24K Magic
The Weeknd feat. Daft Punk Starboy
Olly Murs Grow Up
Lady Gaga Million Reasons
Jonas Blue feat. Raye By Your Side
Kideko & George Kwaki feat. Nadia Rose & Sweetie Irie Crank It (Woah!)
If Olly performs his song on X Factor, I can see it doing well and getting onto NOW 96. As for Bruno and Weeknd, we could get two of their songs for 96
Posted by: Hadji 3rd November 2016, 02:58 PM
Here's a list of songs which should be replaced
JP Cooper - "September Song" with The Weeknd - "Starboy"
Michael Bublι - "I Believe In You" with Bruno Mars - "24K Magic"
Nevada - "The Mack" with Jonas Blue - "By Your Side"
James TW - "When You Love Someone" with Kideko & George Kwali - "Crank It (Woah!)"
Wilkinson - "Sweet Lies" with Katy Perry - "Rise"
Charlie Puth - "Dangerously" with OneRepublic - "Kids"
Posted by: gooddelta 3rd November 2016, 04:38 PM
The strangest thing about So Good featuring is that it means Louisa is fair game for the NOW albums, meaning Jenny Fisher deliberately left off Forever Young in favour of much smaller hits
Must be the only top ten hit of the past few years that's been left out due to a factor other than not getting the licensing rights...(Calm After The Storm by The Common Linnets was left off for being a Eurovision track I suppose...)
Posted by: Cameron 3rd November 2016, 04:39 PM
Can we please keep all Now related news in this thread please.

What about Shut Up by Stormzy?
Posted by: gooddelta 3rd November 2016, 04:47 PM
Isn't he unsigned? So presumably would have had to give the rights himself, which he didn't.
Posted by: Hadji 3rd November 2016, 05:02 PM
That's a tricky one as the song itself has appeared frequently on compilations: AKA Anthems and Grime Time to name a few
Posted by: gooddelta 3rd November 2016, 05:07 PM
Maybe he picked those himself for being more reputable to him than a Now compilation.
Then again, is there a clean version/radio edit of the track? I guess they'd have had to make one if not.
Posted by: Hadji 3rd November 2016, 05:19 PM
Then again, is there a clean version/radio edit of the track? I guess they'd have had to make one if not.
If there ain't, they'd make one like they did for "Bassline Junkie" on NOW 84. Oh wait, there is a clean version of "Shut Up": he only swears at the very end when he speaks
Posted by: Dobbo 3rd November 2016, 10:43 PM
They've made a right pig's ear of Disc 2, why on earth is That's My Girl so high up in the order? Plus 2 songs that aren't even top 40 hits within the first 5 tracks.
The good side about there not being as many hits now with regards to these compilations is the fact I'm always making at least 3-4 discoveries per edition, although generally they don't tend to be very good ones...
Posted by: Hadji 4th November 2016, 12:56 AM
Don't know which tracklist is correct: OCC say 22-23 and amazon say 21-24

On NOW 95, disc 1 is 75:32 and disc 2 is 79:38 which means it would have made more sense for them to move one of the songs from disc 2 to disc 1, possibly DJ Snake
Posted by: Taylor Jago 5th November 2016, 11:09 AM
Those lengths are assuming that no edits have been done though.
Posted by: LB1108 5th November 2016, 12:43 PM
Well not really as then you'd have the same problem, but just the other way round...
Posted by: Hadji 5th November 2016, 12:54 PM
"Still Falling For You" and "Shout Out To My Ex" are the disc 1 songs to be edited. If they didn't edit "Cruel", they'd have been unable to fit it onto disc 2. "One Dance" is the first track on disc 2 according to amazon and the final track on disc 1 according to OCC
Posted by: MACMOORE22 5th November 2016, 01:38 PM
I think it's a great tracklist - pleased for Gaga, Charli and Dua getting on there, but shame about Starry and All In My Head missing out!
Posted by: Jamie Barkley 5th November 2016, 09:22 PM
I'll buy Now 95 out of tradition, I'm amazed by how well these things continue to sell
Posted by: JosephStyles 6th November 2016, 07:49 PM
The OCC has been incorrect on numerous occasions when reporting news before so I'd say Amazon considering they're the ones selling it.
Posted by: Hadji 6th November 2016, 09:38 PM
Amazon are correct. Went on HMV website and NOW Music store and they both also say 21-24. It would have made more sense for them to make it 22-23, not 21-24

Ed Sheeran hasn't been appearing on the spin offs lately. I hope he isn't doing an Adele, Taylor Swift or Rihanna and refusing to let his music appear on compilations. And in other news with everyone getting hyped about NOW 100 in July 2018, we'd actually be releasing NOW 100 next week instead of NOW 95 if the yearly release stayed at 3 NOWs a year and was never reduced to 2 NOWs a year

Yawn. Disc 3 is probably the most interesting though
Posted by: Hadji 8th November 2016, 05:13 PM
They could at least use different songs if they want to reuse the same artists. And as for "After The Afterparty", please don't tell me they've omitted Lil Yachty's verses from the song

Why bother with the Tiesto remix of DOMO when they could have just included the Robyn version?
Posted by: Hadji 9th November 2016, 06:49 PM
If they were to include Robyn, they would have included "With Every Heartbeat". I'm surprised they never used "Hotline Bling" or "One Dance". You'd think they would start using them now they've appeared on a numbered NOW
Posted by: Spiral 11th November 2016, 01:57 PM
I decided to pick up NOW NO.1 Hits and it's quite enjoyable. There's some great 00s picks from Destiny's Child, Britney Spears and Blu Cantrell. Wish there were a few more early 00s hits, like The Corrs, Blue and maybe even Madonna. But still, pretty good.
OH! The Estelle only version of American Boy is rubbish!
Posted by: Hadji 11th November 2016, 03:48 PM

Has Mark Goodier stopped doing the voiceover for the NOW album adverts? Because he didn't do the voiceover for the NOW Love and NOW 95 adverts
Posted by: bluesunstorm 16th November 2016, 08:27 PM
Cool! I wish the album had more songs I like on it, but I'll probably end up buying it anyway.

As said in the previous comment, has Mark Goodier stopped doing it? I hope it was a one off like NOW R&B
Posted by: Common Sense 17th November 2016, 04:59 PM
Looks like Mark isn't doing them any more.
Posted by: Hadji 17th November 2016, 05:28 PM
If they wanted to get rid of Mark, they should have got him to do the voiceover for the remaining NOWs released this year and get someone else to take over from 2017
Posted by: TMD_24 17th November 2016, 08:20 PM
Matt Edmondson is doing the voiceover according to the Mirror, Mark, sadly is currently recovering from a Stroke:

Oh no. Sorry to hear Mark Goodier has had a stroke. Hope he gets well soon.
I did wonder what happened as I saw the Now Love album advert a little earlier.
Posted by: gooddelta 17th November 2016, 09:41 PM
That's a real shame, I wish him a speedy recovery and hope he returns for the Now 96 ad if he's well enough.
I wouldn't be half as interested in the charts if not for his own passion in them and his excellent presenting back when I started listening in 1998. He was the last great chart presenter, everybody since treats it like any other show, whereas I believe it should be presented by an expert who can get people excited about what might happen and not give it all away (though to be fair, I'm sure even Mark would struggle to make the streaming era charts sound exciting )
Posted by: awardinary 17th November 2016, 10:17 PM
I always used to believe he had recorded all the adverts years ago and that they were saved for future releases!
Posted by: Danvember 17th November 2016, 10:25 PM
Lol at the Little Mix album plug in the BRH corner during their part of the advert, must've been part of the deal for Simon to let Now use it :')

I was expecting NOW 95 to beat NOW 93's first week sales
Posted by: Common Sense 1st December 2016, 08:17 AM
Will probably buy Now 70's eventually but do agree with a couple of Amazon reviewers that it's not very representative of the decade. There's no glam rock whatsoever! No-one expects Gary Glitter but what about Slade, Mud, Sweet, T.Rex? Thankfully no Bay City Rollers though.Tiny Dancer wasn't even a single in the 70's for Elton, was an album track.
Posted by: Hadji 1st December 2016, 10:04 AM
"Everybody's Talkin'" shouldn't be on there because it was released in 1969 which means it's a 60s song
Posted by: ❄️awardinicyϭ 2nd December 2016, 03:44 PM
Not sure if anyone who buys the Now compilation in CD actually bothers to read the booklet inserts when they are released, but it seems to me that less and less care and attention is being given to producing a good quality compilation and so little is written up on each track it makes looking into the booklet rather pointless. In fact so many mistakes are made too where it has been so rushed. 
It was much better in the 90's/early 00's as more attention to detail was given and that made it a much more enjoyable read.
Not anymore though.
Posted by: Hadji 2nd December 2016, 07:43 PM
NOW 95's sales have dropped to 159,404. I was expecting the sales to increase or decrease slightly, not decrease drastically with it nearing Christmas

It always falls slightly the second week and recovers on Xmas week and the week beforehand!
Posted by: andeeeeyhart 4th December 2016, 10:45 PM
That's an expected drop in sales. Not drastic at all.
Posted by: deepinside 5th December 2016, 08:43 AM
The inclusion of Everybody's Talkin in the Now 70's doesn't make sense at all despite Everybody's Talkin was one of his signature hits. They should include "Without You" instead (Another Nilsson signature hits released in late 1971 and Mariah Carey eventually cover the song) if they really want to featured Harry Nilsson.
Posted by: Hadji 5th December 2016, 03:49 PM
Maybe they wanted to use a song of his which they haven't used yet as "Without You" appeared on NOW Love back in 1994
Posted by: Common Sense 5th December 2016, 04:02 PM
They didn't use Bohemian Rhapsody either. They could have include a different Abba track to Dancing Queen too, come to think of it.
Posted by: Hadji 5th December 2016, 04:07 PM
With ABBA, they could've used "Fernando", "Waterloo", "Mamma Mia", "Knowing Me, Knowing You", "Take A Chance On Me", "Gimme! Gimme! Gimme! (A Man After Midnight)", "Chiquitita" or "What's The Name Of The Game"
Posted by: ❄️awardinicyϭ 5th December 2016, 04:50 PM
Let's just agree that they did a poor job of the Now 70's album, and move on.

As David Bowie was added to NOW 93 as a tribute, I hope they do the same thing with George Michael for NOW 96 and use a song of his which they ain't used yet i.e. "Careless Whisper", "Faith", "As" or "I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me)"
Posted by: awardinary 27th December 2016, 01:35 PM
David Bowie was added because of managing to get a #12 hit with Heroes.
If George Michael can get a similarly high charting posthumous hit then he may be considered.
Posted by: Hadji 27th December 2016, 01:40 PM
If George Michael can get a similarly high charting posthumous hit then he may be considered.
If they do include him, it will most likely be "Careless Whisper" as that one looks set to chart the highest. The way it's climbing on iTunes and Spotify, it could even go top 10
Posted by: crazy christmas 27th December 2016, 04:11 PM
Why not do a Now...Gone To Heaven with all deceased artists right from the 50's to now. I'm not joking or being disrespectful here as there's actually an online radio station called Radio Dead which plays nothing but dead singers and groups. I'd buy that and I bet many others would.

Excellent. You could also have The KLF featuring Tammy Wynette - Justified And Ancient and George Harrison's My Sweet Lord. You could have a Freddie solo track on Disc 1 and a Queen track on Disc 2 or vice-versa.
Someone needs to contact the Now compilers.

"Closer" and "One Dance" never made it onto the US NOW 60 so there will more likely be two #1s on there. As for the cover, I hope they use it for the UK NOW 96
Posted by: Spiral 6th January 2017, 08:43 PM
They usually release one around late Jan/Early Feb. And thing with the US NOWs is that they seem to go for consistency of artists singles, so if you take half the artists from NOW 60 and add their new singles onto NOW 61 you've got half a disc already, and as Hadji said they may include older songs like Closer, but I'm not sure about One Dance.
The question is will they get the Taylor/ZAYN Collab?

Probably but I think they could get Drake seeing as we have the rights to Drake. We have the rights to Drake and we don't have the rights to Taylor Swift but in America, it's vice versa but I think America also has the rights to Drake
Posted by: Hadji 6th January 2017, 09:10 PM
"Black Beatles" was #1 at the time NOW 60 got released so I think it's a potential candidate for NOW 61

For those wishing to complete their collection cheaply, CeX are selling Now 92 (Xmas 2015) for a fiver now.
They're also in theory selling Now 94 for a pound, but I've yet to find a CeX near me that has it in stock!

First NOW spin off to be released this year will be NOW R&B due for release on 10th February. Hope it's better than the 2011 edition
Posted by: lewistgreen 10th January 2017, 05:59 PM
I really liked the 2011 release! But considering it's so dated now I can imagine this new one will have more up-to-date stuff and barely any 'classics'

Posted by: Hadji 13th January 2017, 06:40 PM
"24K Magic", "Black Beatles" and "Starboy" all appear on NOW 61 US so there's a very good chance they'll be appearing on NOW 96

Unless JP Cooper's used in an advert like Grace was last year (when we all thought that was a wtf inclusion then it turned out to be a big hit).JP Cooper having top 10 smash after all

"Can't Feel My Face" is being overused on spin-offs. They could have at least used "Starboy" or "The Hills". They seem to think that CFMF is his only song
Posted by: Danuary 14th January 2017, 12:17 PM
Well I guess we were proven wrong, perhaps Jenny Fisher knew it was going to get sent to radio, but it would've made more sense to include it on Now 97 once it had smashed.
And that still doesn't excuse the random Wilkinson inclusion
(Michael Bublι I can understand to an extent as his album sold well)
Posted by: Hadji 14th January 2017, 12:42 PM
And that still doesn't excuse the random Wilkinson inclusion
(Michael Bublι I can understand to an extent as his album sold well)With Bublι, "Nobody But Me" was the official single from the album so it would have made more sense using that instead if they were so eager to include him

Posted by: T Boy 23rd January 2017, 04:54 PM
Now mum! Really?
Posted by: Hadji 23rd January 2017, 05:14 PM
If they're releasing NOW Mum on 3rd March to coincide with Mother's Day, then they should release NOW Dad on 2nd June to coincide with Father's Day
Posted by: Spiral 23rd January 2017, 07:15 PM
I understand marketing Mothers Day is nice for a bit of cash, but It's going to be such an unoriginal track listing. They should release one spin-off per Numbered NOW like the US do.
I can see NOW Mum having easy listening, motown and Pop male pin-ups on it. (maaaaaaaybe Mama by Spice Girls)
Posted by: Hadji 23rd January 2017, 08:05 PM
And if they want to include new songs on there, at least include one or two songs on there which will be on NOW 96. And I reckon track 1 will be "Rockabye"
Posted by: andeeeeyhart 24th January 2017, 01:16 AM
Now Mum
Posted by: JamesPearse84 28th January 2017, 10:39 PM
Right it's getting to that time of the year again. Here's my prediction for Now 96
Disc 1
1. Ed Sheeran - Castle on the hill
2. Rae Sremmurd - Black Beatles
3. Rag N Bone Man - Human
4. Bruno Mars - Magic 24k
5. The Wkend-I Feel It Coming
6. Fifth Harmony - All In My Head
7. Little Mix - Touch
8. Nathan Sykes - Famous
9. John Legend - Love Me Now
10. Olly Murs - Grow Up
11. Chainsmokers - Paris
12. Sean Paul - No Lie Ft Dua Lipa
13. Twenty One Pilots - Heathens
14. Drake - Too Good ft Rihanna
15. Louis Tomlinson - Just Hold On
16. Zara Larsson - I Would Like
17. Tinie Tempah - Text From your Ex
18. Dua Lipa - Be The One
19. Busted - What You're On
20. Chainsmokers - All We Know
21 Major Lazer - Believer
22. The Wkend - Starboy
Disc 2
1. Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You
2. Jonas Blue - By Your Side

17. Robbie Williams - Love My Life
18. Vaults - One Day I'll Fly Away
19. Sia - Bird Set Free
20. Craig David - Bang Bang
21. Coldplay - Everglow
22. Matt Terry - When Christmas Comes Around
Comments appreciated. 44 tracks 1 number 1. Potentially 2 if Castle on the hill makes It.
Posted by: lewistgreen 28th January 2017, 10:52 PM
I doubt the inclusions for Galantis, Craig David/DJ Fresh, Lost Frequencies and Sam Feldt as there was no chart impact at all for these songs here.
For Sia it'll likely be Move Your Body as Bird Set Free hasn't been an official yet
Also can't see them going back to All In My Head for Fifth Harmony when That's My Girl was on Now 95
I'd like to see Too Good for Drake but I feel we're way past that now... Though Hotline Bling got a late inclusion so anything is possible!
Everything else seems feasible though
Posted by: JamesPearse84 28th January 2017, 11:10 PM
I think you're right to an extent. Where now albums may have a problem going forward is that the charts seem very stale now, and not many new songs enter anymore. Streaming has totally changed things. Any idea when we will be getting news on now 96? I put Drake as he seems to appear a year after the song is popular. Hotline bling on now 94 is a classic example of this.
Posted by: Hadji 29th January 2017, 04:47 AM
I just hope they include Ed Sheeran as he hasn't been appearing on compilations lately or I just hope they do a Drake with him and only include him on the main series
Posted by: introvert 29th January 2017, 07:31 AM
How I hope they have Byonce too.
Posted by: gavindeejay 29th January 2017, 09:30 AM
Now 96 will be very likely to be released on Friday 7th April as the Easter Now is normally out the week before Good Friday! We won't get the official track listing until the end of March, but they may reveal the artwork at the end of Feb.
Posted by: JamesPearse84 29th January 2017, 11:48 AM
I think it'll be earlier. The artwork for now 93 was revealed early Feb last year. Although Easter was early so that may be why. I'm surprised that now took down their web forum and it's a pity they did that. Does anyone else have a prediction for the tracklist? I hope they include both ed sheeran tracks. They should do as his album will break the Internet
Posted by: Taylor Jago 29th January 2017, 01:08 PM
I'm in England with my class from the 13th to the 17th, so I'd prefer it to be released on the 17th so I can get it (hopefully).
Posted by: Dexton 29th January 2017, 04:07 PM
Hey I'm kinda new to these forums so I've never really done anything like this before, although I've always had playlists in itunes or spotify of songs I think will be on the next NOW Album. I live in Australia and, as mixed as our charts get sometimes over here, I always get the latest NOW...always. Anyway here's a bit of a tracklist prediction for Now 96. It's a little bit early yet so i might make another one closer to the time depending on how the charts go
Disc One:
1. Should've Been Me - Naughty Boy
2. You Don't Know Me - Jax Jones
3. Shape Of You - Ed Sheeran
4. Be The One - Dua Lipa
5. Touch - Little Mix
6. I Would Like - Zara Larsson
7. Starboy - The Weeknd
8. Black Beatles - Rae Sremmund
9. Call On Me (Ryan Riback Remix) - Starley
10. All Night - The Vamps & Matoma
11. By Your Side - Jonas Blue
12. Scared To Be Lonely - Martin Garrix & Dua Lipa
13. Shed A Light - David Guetta & Robin Schulz
14. Only One - Sigala & Digital Farm Animals
15. Move Your Body - Sia
16. Love Me Now - John Legend
17. Fake Love - Drake
18. Just Hold On - Louis Tomlinson & Steve Aoki
19. Bad Things - Machine Gun Kelly & Camila Cambello
20. Love My Life - Robbie Williams
21. Safe Inside - James Arthur
22. On Hold - The xx
Disc Two:
1. Castle On The Hill - Ed Sheeran
2. Human - Rag'n'Bone Man
3. I Don't Wanna Live Forever - Zayn & Taylor Swift
4. 24K Magic - Bruno Mars
5. Paris - The Chainsmokers
6. No Lie - Sean Paul
After that I'm a little bit stumped for Disc Two, there's some songs I'd like to see on there but how many or in what order I am not so sure:
Run Up - Major Lazer
Text From Your Ex - Tinie Tempah
Not In Love - M.O
Now and Later - Sage The Gemini
Play That Song - Train
Issues - Julia Michaels
Don't Leave - Snakehips
Skin - Rag'n'Bone Man
I have a feeling that Should've Been Me is gonna become huge in a few weeks time, possibly being the one to knock Ed off the top spot if Jax Jones doesn't get there first. Depending on the success of So Good, I Would Like might not make it to Now 96 and it might be chosen to go on the album instead similar to how History was chosen over Perfect by One Direction last year. But so far Zara Larssons new song is disappointing and quite a few agree. Scared To Be Lonely is a sure-fire hit for both Martin and Dua - it's like ITNOL but a thousand times better - probably a Top 5 hit here. I'm hoping they go for Fake Love instead of Too Good. Granted, it didn't perform as well as his other's, but Too Good is long gone and adding songs that were relevant 8-9 months before the album is released seems a bit of a waste. And lastly for disc one, Safe Inside is probably going to make it on there just because of the name James Arthur.
Disc Two, like I said, was a bit of trouble. The first 6 songs I am almost certain will make an appearance but after that it could be anything. I can't see Text From Your Ex or Not In Love lasting long on the chart and i wouldn't be surprised if everyone's forgotten about them by the time Now 96 is released. Issues is doing good in Australia & the US too it seems so I'm hoping for it to hit a chord over in the UK and get popular - It's my favourite song right now and you guys are missing out.
Please leave me some comments and maybe help with more suggestions for Disc Two. There is songs like I Feel It Coming but considering the fact Starboy wasn't on Now 95 (and assuming The Weeknd is pulling a Drake) IFTC might end up making an appearance on Now 97. Or either of them, its not my favourite Weeknd song. Hope you enjoy!
Posted by: JamesPearse84 29th January 2017, 04:42 PM
It's a good list. Disc 2 was a struggle for me. Mainly because the charts are loaded with loads of songs that were on now 95. What about posthumous George Micheal track. That could be possible. Difficult to tell how songs to be released will perform as the charts are really unpredictable at the moment.

20. Ellie Goulding - How Long Will I Love You

18. Jessie J - Price Tag
19. Rita Ora - I Will Never Let You Down
20. Avril Lavigne - Complicated
21. Britney Spears - Oops!...I Did It Again
Can't believe they've knocked this one down to two discs, there's one song on there which could possibly appear on NOW 96 but might not due to it flopping and if they were so eager to include Clean Bandit on the album, they should have included "Rockabye" instead of "Rather Be"
EDIT: "Flying Without Wings" has been replaced by "You Raise Me Up"
Posted by: gooddelta 4th February 2017, 01:07 PM
Britney's Oops!...I Did It Again...a real mum's favourite!
Mama should have opened this album in the (bizarre) absence of Rockabye.

When did Ed last appear on a major compilation?
I've just noticed Germany's Bravo Hits 96 tracklisting is out and neither of his songs appear on there, when you'd probably ordinarily expect them to.
I'm wondering if he's going to 'do an Adele/Rihanna' and hold back his songs from compilations. He seems to consider himself as the biggest artist in the world other than Adele (he has a fair point!) so it would make sense
Posted by: danG 4th February 2017, 01:41 PM
here's my current prediction:
Disc One
1 Ed Sheeran - Shape Of You
2 Little Mix - Touch
3 Zara Larsson - I Would Like
4 Jax Jones - You Don't Know Me [feat. RAYE]
5 Starley - Call On Me [Ryan Riback Remix]
6 The Weeknd - Starboy [feat. Daft Punk]

12 Jonas Blue - By Your Side [feat. RAYE]
13 Martin Jensen - Solo Dance
14 Digital Farm Animals - Digital Love [feat. Hailee Steinfeld]
15 Sia - Move Your Body (Single Mix)
16 Julia Michaels - Issues
17 Bebe Rexha - I Got You
18 Alessia Cara - Scars To Your Beautiful
19 John Legend - Love Me Now
20 Imagine Dragons - Believer
21 Train - Play That Song
22 James Arthur - Safe Inside
Disc Two
1 Ed Sheeran - Castle On The Hill
2 Rag'n'Bone Man - Human
3 Rae Sremmurd - Black Beatles [feat. Gucci Mane]
4 Bruno Mars - 24K Magic
5 Sean Paul - No Lie [feat. Dua Lipa]
6 Machine Gun Kelly and Camila Cabello - Bad Things
7 Drake - Fake Love
8 Martin Garrix and Dua Lipa - Scared To Be Lonely
9 Tom Zanetti - You Want Me [feat. Sadie Ama]
10 Stormzy - Big For Your Boots
11 Sage The Gemini - Now and Later
12 Snakehips and MΨ - Don't Leave
13 Tinie Tempah - Text From Your Ex [feat. Tinashe]
14 Sigala and Digital Farm Animals - Only One
15 Naughty Boy - Should've Been Me [feat. Kyla and Popcaan]
16 Mura Masa - Love$ick [feat. A$AP Rocky]
17 Major Lazer - Run Up [feat. PARTYNEXTDOOR and Nicki Minaj]
18 Zara Larsson - So Good [feat. Ty Dolla $ign]
19 M.O - Not In Love [feat. Kent Jones]
20 The xx - On Hold
21 Rag'n'Bone Man - Skin
22 Coldplay - Everglow (Single Mix)
Missing out due to rights issues:
Adele - Water Under The Bridge
The Weeknd - I Feel It Coming [feat. Daft Punk]
ZAYN and Taylor Swift - I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker)
Taking a bit of a risk with 'Digital Love' but I think that'll be an easy hit soon enough. Similarly with 'Issues', 'Solo Dance' and 'I Got You', though those are already climbing the top 100.

Can't believe they've knocked this one down to two discs, there's one song on there which could possibly appear on NOW 96 but might not due to it flopping and if they were so eager to include Clean Bandit on the album, they should have included "Rockabye" instead of "Rather Be"
Is it bad that I want this just because Mama is on it?
I've just noticed Germany's Bravo Hits 96 tracklisting is out and neither of his songs appear on there, when you'd probably ordinarily expect them to.
I'm wondering if he's going to 'do an Adele/Rihanna' and hold back his songs from compilations. He seems to consider himself as the biggest artist in the world other than Adele (he has a fair point!) so it would make sense
I think Bravo Hits finalise their track listings way before they even release the cover so Ed's songs weren't released when the initial track listing was made. I think he'll be more of a numbered NOW artist and maybe on the more important spin-offs.

Posted by: gooddelta 4th February 2017, 06:18 PM
I'm not sure...Baby by Bakermat was only released last week for example and Paris by Chainsmokers came out a week after Ed. It's maybe possible they knew about these releases beforehand, but not a month ago I wouldn't have thought. Also, a few of these only started to smash or emerge in Germany in the last week or two, and some showed no signs of doing so a month ago, so I reckon this tracklist was finalised in the last few days. You may be right that Ed just appears on the numbered Now editions though. Here's the full tracklist for Bravo Hits 96 btw:

I put my faves in Bold. Not the best Bravo Hits, but good non-the-less. Shocking to see a Sia Soundtrack song and not Move Your Body
Posted by: Hadji 4th February 2017, 06:38 PM
I just hope he's doing a Drake and only allowing his music onto numbered NOWs
Posted by: Jonjo 4th February 2017, 06:38 PM
Literally DYING at 'Oops I Did It Again' 😂😂😂😂
Posted by: Spiral 4th February 2017, 06:48 PM
I told my mother about this track listing and when I said Oops... she thought it was a fart joke and that all mothers fart
She's not impressed. Not surprised though. She loves Rock music.
Posted by: Hadji 6th February 2017, 01:33 AM
With Leona Lewis' inclusion on NOW Mum, I'm just glad that they chose "Run" instead of "Bleeding Love". From what I remember, they should have put "Run" on NOW 72 instead of "Forgive Me", which should have been on NOW 71
Posted by: Spiral 8th February 2017, 03:11 PM
I'm concerned that "2017" hasn't been added to the title like the last two, but other than that I really enjoy the NOW Running series. It's great mix of old and new.
Posted by: Hadji 8th February 2017, 03:18 PM
24th March is the release date. I hope they include one or two songs which will be on NOW 96 and a few classic running songs of course. I hope they also include a few 60s and 70s songs too and I bet they'll use some songs which appeared on The Nation's Favourite Running Songs
Posted by: awardinary 8th February 2017, 08:00 PM
I expect the new Major Lazer song to feature then purely for the word "run" in the title.
Posted by: Hadji 8th February 2017, 08:26 PM
I hope it is so it would mean that it would definitely be on NOW 96 but they'll probably reuse "Lean On" for the 100th time
Posted by: Hadji 9th February 2017, 05:41 PM
I've noticed that on the NOW Mum track list, "Flying Without Wings" has been replaced by "You Raise Me Up". Why replace a song of theirs which never appeared on the main series for a song of theirs which appeared on the main series? If they want to replace artists' songs, they should have done that for Clean Bandit by replacing "Rather Be" with "Rockabye"

Guys I don't think there's going to be another numbered now album. We would have had news by now. Artwork at least. Strange there's been no announcement. Would be strange if they stopped making them. But that may be the way it is heading.
Posted by: gooddelta 20th February 2017, 12:05 AM
The numbered albums are literally a licence to print money, they still sell insanely well and there'd be no point stopping them. I expect it's going to be a later announcement as Easter is comparatively late this year.
As for Now Mum, it seems to be up on pre-order on iTunes for only £5.99, I wonder if we'll start to get budget compilations from them now too!
Posted by: Hadji 20th February 2017, 12:28 AM
We might get the cover for NOW 96 this Friday. They usually reveal it six weeks before the release of the spring NOW which this year, will be 7th April

Posted by: Hadji 20th February 2017, 01:23 PM
looks to be very colourful!It looks just like the NOW 61 US cover. How they'll do it is they'll reveal the NOW 96 cover this Friday and the NOW Running 2017 tracklist the Friday after

At least we know that Starley and Tom Zanetti will be on NOW 96 and at least they used the UK version of "Higher" featuring Kylie Minogue instead of the US version featuring Travie McCoy. Also, I think they got an idea from "The Nation's Favourite Running Songs" on what songs to use
Posted by: Spiral 9th March 2017, 08:47 PM
The NOWs from South Africa have revealed their cover for NOW 75. The South African ones do come into their own sometimes. Last year they managed to get a Beyonce track!

How to check new albums?
Posted by: Hadji 17th March 2017, 11:23 AM
As long as both discs for NOW 96 have more than 21 tracks, I'll be happy
Posted by: gooddelta 17th March 2017, 01:45 PM
Mark Goodier has done the voiceover for the Now That's What I Call Mum album, so presumably he'll return to the main series ads too, which is good news.
Posted by: Hadji 17th March 2017, 02:45 PM
He will as he also did the voiceover for the NOW Running 2017 advert
Posted by: BillyH 18th March 2017, 02:45 AM
Now 96 might as well include Ed Sheeran's album for free.
Posted by: Hadji 18th March 2017, 03:30 AM
I just hope he hasn't refrained his music from appearing on the albums. I just hope he's doing a Drake and only refraining from his songs appearing on the spin offs. We'll have to wait till Friday to see if he appears on NOW 96
Posted by: T Boy 18th March 2017, 12:19 PM
I can honestly say that if Ed Sheeran has pulled of appearing on Nows, I will lose absolutely zero sleep over it.
Posted by: Dexton 18th March 2017, 12:56 PM
Hopefully Ed doesn't prevent his songs from being on Now, otherwise that's another album without any #1's after Now 94 last year.
Assuming he does though, which songs would be on? Obviously Shape of You but will there be a second if not third? Now that Galway Girl has been released as an official single and has high chances of reaching #1 next week is it possible that it will be on Now 96? Correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think there's ever been a Now album with a single artist being featured more than twice. Could Ed be about to break another record?
Posted by: T Boy 18th March 2017, 02:16 PM
Both Rihanna and Calvin Harris have had 3 songs on a Now album, although never more than 2 as the lead artist.
Posted by: Jonjo 18th March 2017, 02:24 PM
I can't imagine Ed not putting his stuff on the Now albums. Even with how big he's become. He's EVERYWHERE and seems to want as many people to hear his tracks as humanly possible
And with him being the only number 1 since Now 95... Surely the Now compilers will do anything they can, to get 'Shape Of You'?
Has there been a NOW album with one #1 on it before?

NOW 4 in 1984 and NOW 5 in 1985. I have a feeling that he won't he on there as he hasn't been appearing on the spin offs lately

Unlikely... but can you imagine if he gave them Shape of You, Castle on the Hill, Galway Girl, AND the Comic Relief song with him? *chaos ensues*
Posted by: Hadji 18th March 2017, 03:18 PM
He's only a featured artist on the Comic Relief song so there's a possibility. I just hope they don't miss out the Comic Relief single as they put the wrong version of LMD on NOW 90. If we do get one of his songs, it will be SOY or even better, we might get two but no way we'll get three songs where he's lead artist
Posted by: Jonjo 18th March 2017, 03:35 PM
They'll save 'Galway Girl' for Now 97 I imagine!
Intrigued to see the tracklist and to see what is included!
Posted by: awardinary 18th March 2017, 04:17 PM
There's also the very slim possibility that we could see the Ed Sheeran written X Factors Winner single performed by Matt Terry at Christmastime.
Posted by: Hadji 18th March 2017, 05:06 PM
No chance as it's a Christmas song and 2015's winner never appeared on NOW 93
Posted by: Spiral 18th March 2017, 05:45 PM
I think the NOW team will be the first people to get Ed and then he'll fall into the Warner Brothers compilations afterwards. This'll be a the exclusive of this album.
Posted by: awardinary 21st March 2017, 12:07 PM
So the team at Now Music have just announced on their Facebook page that they have arrived at Abbey Studios today to record Now 96, and the playlist will be revealed tomorrow, Wednesday 22nd March.
Posted by: gooddelta 21st March 2017, 12:20 PM
Praying for Steps.
Still not sure whether Ed will be on here, it's going to be a pretty underwhelming release without at least one of the two biggest hits of the year by far on the album.
Posted by: Hadji 21st March 2017, 12:29 PM
I'm surprised they're unveiling it tomorrow as opposed to their usual Friday but can't wait

I too am praying for Steps! Saying that Headlines (that went No. 11) never made NOW 68/69.
I have so many questions about this track listing! Thanks to licensing changing, it's now a case of "which artist said yes"
Posted by: Hadji 21st March 2017, 04:05 PM
And a case of age. For example: if Oasis had a #3 hit and Calvin Harris had a #61 hit, they'd choose Calvin Harris over Oasis
Posted by: Hadji 21st March 2017, 08:04 PM
Speaking of triple appearances, Dua Lipa could have a triple appearance: "Be The One", "No Lie" and "Scared To Be Lonely"
Posted by: Spiral 21st March 2017, 08:43 PM
I'd love that! Dua Lipa is awesome! Zara Larsson might make it twice as well, her own song and her collab with Clean Bandit. Ooooh, I hope we get Clean Bandit.
Posted by: gooddelta 21st March 2017, 08:56 PM
I have so many questions about this track listing! Thanks to licensing changing, it's now a case of "which artist said yes"
True! But then there was a bigger crop of hits to pick from, now poor Jenny is having to decide which 10 non top 40 hits to include so a #37/iTunes #1/from a likely successful upcoming album whould be a no-brainer for me!
Ooh what happened to the licensing? I haven't heard about this, have we lost a record label or something?
Posted by: Hadji 21st March 2017, 09:07 PM

No. It's about artists refusing to let their music appear on here i.e. Rihanna, Taylor Swift and Adele. I hope they change their minds in future like Stevie Wonder did. He was signed to Motown which was owned by Virgin which meant "I Just Called To Say I Love You" would've appeared on NOW 4 if he allowed his music to appear on compilations back in 1984
Posted by: gooddelta 21st March 2017, 09:11 PM
Oh I see, not another Now 87 type situation then!
Posted by: Spiral 21st March 2017, 09:32 PM
We lost out on so much for NOW 87. Let's face it, Kylie and Lily Allen will never appear on another Numbered NOW
Posted by: Hadji 21st March 2017, 11:33 PM
We lost all Warner artists on that edition except for Vance Joy

YASS LORDE! <3
Feels like a lot of omissions though, who's missing?
Posted by: gooddelta 22nd March 2017, 01:11 PM
Sigrid? Is that still due to take off?
Very random choice of George Michael track...a #1 and a classic, but not an obvious pick I wouldn't have said. Maybe it was just so they could say there's a #1 on the album!
These albums are getting more and more weird, but at least they got Ed...he obviously told them they can have Shape Of You for Now 97 instead. Good ploy to get himself on there but without giving them his most popular song.
Nice for Train and Robbie to be back too I guess, poor Steps tho!
Posted by: Jonjo 22nd March 2017, 01:17 PM
'Castle On The Hill', but no 'Shape Of You'? :\
Was hoping Gaga could've been one of those "last 3 on disc 1" sort of tracks with 'A Million Reasons'.
I suspect that Chainsmokers/Coldplay & 'Galway Girl' will all be on 97?
I think it's one of those tracklists where it feels like they've left a lot off, but actually it's a fairly accurate one? I wonder if that's it for STEPS and Take That? Their albums will surely be big enough and they did go top 40 with their newest singles.
Posted by: simonf 22nd March 2017, 01:18 PM
They haven't missed too much off thinking about it. The ones on the top of my head
Ed - Shape of You
Chainsmokers/Coldplay
Zayn/Taylor
Clean Bandit/Zara (this is probably too recent though)
Posted by: Hadji 22nd March 2017, 01:18 PM
If they wanted to add George Michael as a tribute, they should have added "Careless Whisper" instead of a song of his which appeared on a past volume and as for Ed Sheeran, they should have added his #1 single instead of his #2 single but at least we know now that they have the rights to his music
Posted by: gooddelta 22nd March 2017, 01:20 PM
To be fair, they've done ok considering the slow charts and plethora of artist licensing issues these days...here are some of the omissions/reasons maybe:
Ed Sheeran - Shape of You (looks like it will be on Now 97 instead and they were given COTH to keep them sweet)
Ed Sheeran - Galway Girl (likewise...or maybe Now 98!)
The Chainsmokers and Coldplay - Something Just Like This (they've got Paris and Hypnotised...so this looks like another for Now 97)
ZAYN and Taylor Swift - I Don't Wanna Live Forever (Fifty Shades Darker) (It's Taylor, enough said)
Steps - Scared Of The Dark (not a big enough hit presumably)
Maroon 5 - Cold [feat. Future] (not sure why this is missing...Now 97?)
Louisa Johnson - Best Behaviour (I'd expect this to take off and surprised to not see it here when they got So Good last time...Now 97?)
James Arthur - Safe Inside (a curious miss, guess they thought it's not a big enough hit to bother with...but there are much smaller hits on the album)
Matt Terry - When Christmas Comes Around (will inevitably end up on the next Now Xmas reboot)
Clean Bandit feat Zara Larsson - Symphony (too new maybe, but I was expecting to see it here, they got Rockabye quite early on for Now 95)
Lady Gaga - Million Reasons (not a big enough hit for them?)
Take That - Giants (one week wonder but surprised this has been missed, the album will do fairly well)
Drake (was half expecting Too Good, seeing as we got Hotline Bling and One Dance so late)
Posted by: gooddelta 22nd March 2017, 01:23 PM
Wasn't it a dance remix of FastLove on Now 35? At least this is hopefully the first outing for the radio version.
Ed they obviously would have put Shape Of You on if they'd been allowed, his record company have clearly vetoed it for now to maximise its stay at #1 or drive people to Divide instead.
Posted by: Spiral 22nd March 2017, 01:31 PM
Nice of them to add George. Shape of You must be doing a "Rather Be" situation and might start of Disc 2 of NOW 97. Disappointed about Steps! I'm not surprised Drake's "Too Good" is on there, it's two artists who don't license their songs that often. I've come to realise that the Spring NOWs are nothing compared to the Summer and Winter NOWs.
YES FOR LORDE THOUGH! WOW!
Posted by: Jonjo 22nd March 2017, 01:31 PM

Steps, was Post Malone a hit?
Louisa I assumed they were holding off for Now 97, too.
James Arthur, another genuine omission.
Clean Bandit will def be on Now 97, surely?
Posted by: Hadji 22nd March 2017, 01:34 PM

It was the forthright edit. I'll be more annoyed if they include the forthright edit again. They did it before with Hot Chocolate's "You Sexy Thing". The 80s remix appeared on both NOW 9 and NOW 38 whereas the original 70s version never appeared at all. And as for Ed, maybe he's doing what Drake did for NOW 94
Posted by: Tinasha 22nd March 2017, 01:34 PM
That's a very odd tracklist...
Posted by: JosephSharman 22nd March 2017, 01:35 PM
Even when it comes to padding it out with smaller hits, could they not have found something better than Post Malone?
Posted by: Dexton 22nd March 2017, 01:39 PM
Other possible emissions that haven't already been mentioned:
Drake - Fake Love (although I can see why this wouldn't be on here considering his album/playlist was just released)
Snakehips & MΨ - Don't Leave (reached #27 which isn't the best but still a great song and better than many others on here)
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 22nd March 2017, 01:41 PM
LMLYD was on a summer now!
Posted by: gooddelta 22nd March 2017, 01:42 PM
I don't actually blame them if they are holding some songs back for Now 97...this is out in April, then it's only three months until Now 97 will be out in July, just about enough time for the UK to have about 25 genuine hit singles
I do agree that the spring releases are often pretty underwhelming compared to the summer release, which is often packed with big feelgood hits, and the winter release which is full of big Q4 smashes. On the spring edition it seems to be a lot of forgotten Xmas leftovers and midtable hits from early in the year. 2006's Now 63 was a particular abortion, possibly the worst ever Now for me.
Actually, now Steps are on their own record label, they may have even vetoed their inclusion themselves (if they were even asked). Scared of the Dark will be a big album selling point for them, and their album comes out a couple of weeks after Now 96.
Posted by: Hadji 22nd March 2017, 01:47 PM
Drake - Fake Love (although I can see why this wouldn't be on here considering his album/playlist was just released)
Snakehips & MΨ - Don't Leave (reached #27 which isn't the best but still a great song and better than many others on here)
It outpeaked "Cruel" and had more chart life so it shouldn't have been omitted. And "Fake Love" has been out for ages
Posted by: Dexton 22nd March 2017, 01:48 PM
Wow I didn't even realise. Fake Love was released wayyy back in October
It's also nice to see Zedd finally on a Now! album as a main artist though after Stay the Night, I Want You To Know, and arguably even Clarity missed out
Posted by: Jonjo 22nd March 2017, 02:32 PM
They should cut it back to just 2 a year now, especially as they have so many spin offs (enough to have a "Now That's What I Call Music" CHART in HMV - Yes, seriously )
I reckon one in May, to capitalise on the Summer/good weather - we usually get sunshine in May and then the other in November, for Christmas sales etc...
Are the Summer and Winter Nows stronger sellers than the Spring ones?
Posted by: gooddelta 22nd March 2017, 03:01 PM
Actually, I have a feeling the spring ones usually sell better than the summer ones for some reason that I've never been sure of (easter gifts? Do people buy CDs for easter? )
Posted by: Klaus 22nd March 2017, 03:27 PM
Gosh that tracklist really highlights what an awful time it is for chart music.
Also, I thought that 'Hypnotised' wasn't a single?
Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd March 2017, 04:33 PM
Glad Sigrid made it!!
Happy for Lorde too but where is Louisa?
Posted by: awardinary 22nd March 2017, 05:49 PM
My noteworthy omissions (in chart peaking order) are;
Ed Sheeran Shape Of You {1}
Drake feat. Rihanna Too Good {3}
Matt Terry When Christmas Comes Around {3}
The Chainsmokers & Coldplay Something Just Like This {4}
Zayn & Taylor Swift I Don't Wanna Live Forever {5}
Drake Fake Love {10}
Take That Giants {13}
The Chainsmokers feat. Phoebe Ryan All We Know {24}
Maroon 5 feat. Future Cold {24}
Olly Murs Grow Up {25}
Snakehips feat. MΨ Don't Leave {27}
Nathan Sykes Famous {28}
Kideko & George Kwali feat. Nadia Rose & Sweetie Irie Crank It (Woah!) {30}
J Cole Deja Vu {30}
Migos feat. Lil Uzi Vert Bad And Boujee {30}
James Arthur Safe Inside {31}
The xx On Hold {34}
Steps Scared Of The Dark {34}
Zay Hilfigerrr & Zayion McCall Juju On That Beat {37}
Lady Gaga Million Reasons {39}
Adele Water Under The Bridge {39}
Little Mix feat. Machine Gun Kelly No More Sad Love Songs {39}
Little Mix feat. Charlie Puth Oops {41}
Louisa Johnson Best Behaviour {48}
Yet To Chart:
People Just Do Nothing feat. Ed Sheeran TBC
Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson Symphony
Olly Murs Years & Years
All those highlighted in green I feel would make a good claim for Now 97 if they continue to do well or repeak. The rest have all missed their chance, and I am especially gutted for Steps.
Posted by: UltraGreenLight 22nd March 2017, 06:03 PM
I'd green Louisa and ZAYN/Taylor also! Louisa seems to be taking off and Love Me Like You Do appeared on the summer now so same might happen for IDWLF!
Posted by: Hadji 22nd March 2017, 06:10 PM
It annoys me when they put 21 tracks on a disc as they blatantly could've fitted another track onto the disc
Posted by: cqmerqn 22nd March 2017, 06:53 PM
Perhaps they don't want 50 shades songs on these albums until it has died down as people who only like a particular song from the soundtrack will just pick up the NOW album instead of the soundtrack!
Posted by: awardinary 22nd March 2017, 07:03 PM
I kind of wish Everglow was included instead of Hypnotised for Coldplay, even though both songs failed to make the Top 40, including their earlier single Up & Up which made Now 94 last summer. In any case I hope their song with The Chainsmokers makes the next release.
Also, I'd like to see Zara Larsson's single with Ty Dolla $ign do something in the future too.
Posted by: Hadji 22nd March 2017, 07:10 PM
It depends if it manages to enter the chart or otherwise, they'll include her next single whichever one she chooses
Posted by: T Boy 22nd March 2017, 08:42 PM
Pretty odd.
Gwon George having the only no.1 there and one that's 21 years old at that.
Shame not to see Maroon 5, Cold is definitely their best song for a while. Also I had slight hope for Steps.
Don't really care about Ed Sheeran. It too me a second look to realise that it wasn't Shape Of You, that's how interested I am.
Odd that they appear to be saving hits for Now 97 yet included 2 Rag N Bone Man songs...
Posted by: lewistgreen 22nd March 2017, 10:52 PM
That is a strange tracklisting and I'm laughing at Post Malone's inclusion!
Most of these songs I feel pretty over as well. The albums just don't feel exciting for me anymore
Posted by: Addy K!ng 22nd March 2017, 11:44 PM

Posted by: Hadji 23rd March 2017, 09:58 AM
According to amazon, the MJ Cole remix of "Human" will be appearing on NOW 96. I hope it's not true
Posted by: Dexton 23rd March 2017, 10:05 AM
I doubt they'd use any remix of Human considering it was the original which charted and reached #2, but if they did, surely it would be the Rudimental remix instead of any other?

I can understand the struggle NOW had. It took me a while to even come up with 40 songs. They have to find over 40 songs in the stale charts as well. That's tough!

Good list, Loreen *.*
Have you heard As I Lay Me Down by Wiktoria btw, seems like it would fit perfectly somewhere between Steps and Loreen.

Haven't head it. I will give it a listen though. I'll sneak it on to disc 2 of my NOW 97 if I like it xx
Posted by: gooddelta 23rd March 2017, 01:47 PM
I suspect you might, it's another song from Melodifestivalen, a late 90s style pure pop gem. Check out Ace Wilder's Wild Child while you're there ;p
Posted by: Hadji 23rd March 2017, 02:50 PM
It even says MJ Cole remix on the now music store website but then again, it doesn't say that "Call On Me" is the Ryan Riback remix
Posted by: danG 23rd March 2017, 04:05 PM
How odd that they'd choose Fastlove instead of Careless Whisper, could they not get the rights to that?
Presumably Sigrid's inclusion will look less odd once it gets a push in a few months, but I can't see that Post Malone song taking off here.
Posted by: Hadji 23rd March 2017, 05:08 PM
They do have the rights to "Careless Whisper" as it's been appearing on a lot of the spin-offs. As "Faith" is appearing more frequently on spin-offs, they could have used that or "A Different Corner" instead of "Fastlove"
Posted by: Houdini 23rd March 2017, 06:14 PM
Surprised that there's a double appearance from Migos in this. Also surprised that Stormzy is on here but I guess he's fully mainstream now.
Posted by: awardinary 23rd March 2017, 07:58 PM
Umm there isn't is there?
Posted by: awardinary 23rd March 2017, 08:12 PM
Based on the previous few volumes, here's some early contentions for Now 97 of songs trending at the moment;
Ed Sheeran Shape Of You / Galway Girl
The Chainsmokers feat. Coldplay Something Just Like This
Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson Symphony
Maroon 5 feat. Future Cold
Bruno Mars That's What I Like
Louisa Johnson Best Behaviour
Stargate feat. P!nk & Sia Waterfalls
Zayn & Taylor Swift I Dont Wanna Live Forever
Ariana Grande & John Legend Beauty And The Beast
G-Eazy & Kehlani Good Life
Just Us Cloudbusting
Drake Passionfruit
Lana Del Rey Love
Of course these will need to hold up their popularity leading up to summertime if they are to have any chance of featuring.
Posted by: Houdini 23rd March 2017, 08:27 PM
Quavo who features on the Post Malone song is part of Migos.
Posted by: Hadji 24th March 2017, 12:46 AM
I'm surprised that the John Lewis song got snubbed considering it appeared on the latest one of their spin-offs
Posted by: JamesPearse84 24th March 2017, 07:21 AM
With the tracks missed you could already make a cd 1 for now 97
Ed sheeran Shape Of You
Take that Giants
Chainsmokers ft Coldplay Something like this
Little mix No more sad songs
Steps Scared of the dark
Olly murs Years and years
Clean bandit Symphony
Maroon 5 Cold
J derulo Swalla
The Wkend Party monster
Galantis Rich Boy
Cashmere Cat Love Incredible
Zara Larsson So good
Machine gun Kelly At my best
Benny Benassi We Light Forever Up
David Guetta Light my body up
Digital Farm Animals Only one
KATO Show you love
Louisa johnson Best behaviour
pink Waterfall

Bought NOW Running 2017 and the version of Taio Cruz's "Higher" is the solo version instead of the Kylie Minogue version as advertised
Posted by: Dexton 24th March 2017, 02:48 PM
Wasn't it the wrong version of "Higher" on Now 78 too? 
Posted by: Hadji 24th March 2017, 06:41 PM
At least on NOW 78 it was the Travie McCoy version as described but yeah, they should've used the Kylie Minogue version
Posted by: Spiral 24th March 2017, 07:39 PM
That's annoying! Remember when people took time making compilations? You know, the 1991's-2007's. The golden era.
Posted by: gooddelta 26th March 2017, 05:19 PM
The pre-order for Now 96 is on iTunes and it's the normal version of Human listed, not sure where Amazon got their info from!

How half-ass-ed! NOW 96 is such a let down all over. But yes, I'll still buy it.
Posted by: Hadji 27th March 2017, 02:14 PM
The main letdown is a George Michael song being reused from a previous volume. Although it's two different versions unlike when "You Sexy Thing" appeared on NOW 9 and NOW 38 both with the 80s remix and none of them with the original 70s version
Posted by: Spiral 31st March 2017, 05:17 PM
It's been a while since they've listed who's on the album.
Also NOW 62 & NOW Fitness Throwback are coming 5th May in the U.S.
Posted by: award♀nary 31st March 2017, 05:35 PM
Also it's great to hear Mark Goodier's voice again!
Posted by: Hadji 31st March 2017, 07:10 PM
The first NOW advert since NOW 81 not to include Disc 1 Track 1
Posted by: gooddelta 31st March 2017, 07:13 PM
Ed is mentioned by Mark in the ad at least. I presume they haven't included a clip of Castle On The Hill so that people can draw their own conclusions to what Ed material is included! People might just blindly buy it assuming Shape Of You is on it (if anyone at all does that!)
Posted by: Spiral 31st March 2017, 08:13 PM
I love that "It has Ed Sheeran, I mean... it's not the song you want, but it's Ed Sheeran"
Posted by: award♀nary 31st March 2017, 08:45 PM
I thought that was the song that played out at the end of the advert or am I wrong?
Posted by: Hadji 1st April 2017, 08:37 AM
The last song played during the advert I think is "Paris"
Posted by: DalekTurret32 1st April 2017, 03:43 PM
2016 is probably the 3rd year to have all the UK Number One singles appear on a NOW album (after 2007 and 2012)
Oh, and will we do a NOW 96 rate soon?
Posted by: Hadji 3rd April 2017, 03:51 PM
Disc 1 is yellow with blue smoke and vice versa on Disc 2
Posted by: Hadji 6th April 2017, 11:53 PM
The tracks which are album-only are "Castle On The Hill", "Paris", "Stay", "Love Me Now", "Run Up", "Issues" and "Slide". Also on "Fastlove", they've remembered to beep out the word bullshit
Posted by: ♀T Boy♀ 7th April 2017, 07:58 PM
Bit awkward how, on first listen, Fastlove is what piques my interest most.
Posted by: d♀nG 7th April 2017, 08:34 PM
Did smile a bit when he said '43 massive chart hits' in the advert, when some of them didn't even make the chart

This is the cover for NOW 62 U.S. this is what NOW UK should do for their NOW 97 cover
Posted by: award♀nary 7th April 2017, 10:07 PM
Looks like a refreshing cover, although I don't want the UK volumes to just keep copying the US volumes each time.
Also, I hope they've got a really special artwork design lined up for Now 100.
Posted by: maria00 8th April 2017, 05:55 AM

Posted by: Shaky Fan 11th April 2017, 09:38 PM
Seems to be some weird version of spamming! They have done the same sort of thing in other threads - eg in the Irish chart thread they reposted the Top 10 singles chart from the start of January.

Interesting that Ed is only licensing Castle On The Hill everywhere at the moment...I presume he'll start to allow Shape Of You for the summer wave of compilations, including Now 97, once it's well away from No.1. Hopefully Tuesday gets a push here at some point, doing very big things in Germany!
Posted by: Hadji 14th April 2017, 06:11 PM
NOW 97 could be the first NOW since NOW 89 to feature two entirely different songs with the exact same name with Maroon 5's "Cold" riding around in the charts and Stormzy's song of the same name has been made as his next single

Don't know if it's been mentioned on this thread already, but if you've got a copy of Now 48 - released 16 years ago this month in 2001 - it's now trading hands for as much as £30!
Admittedly, the reason why it's had a spike in second hand purchases is because of Peter Kay's Car Share, where it features heavily - more specifically the Hear'Say and S Club 7 tracks on disc 1 (I find him massively unfunny, but that may be just me). It's even overtaken Now 96 on Amazon's compilation chart!
Posted by: T Boy in Weeyals 22nd April 2017, 08:07 AM
Now 48>>>>>>>>>Now 96 any day.
Posted by: Hadji 24th April 2017, 08:27 PM
And also, the NOW spin-offs released by EMI costs a ridiculous amount of money e.g. NOW Wedding on eBay is £50 BIN and yet today's spin-offs go straight in the bargain bin

I think I paid a quid for that at a charity shop a couple of years ago!
Now 30 used to be really sought after because of Oasis's Whatever, which wasn't on any of their main albums and couldn't be easily purchased until downloads arrived. By the late noughties you could get it for a pound though.

Any predictions on what could feature on this UK release? 
Posted by: Hadji 26th April 2017, 02:22 PM
They need to study tracklists from albums such as "The Nation's Favourite Motown Songs" and "Anthems Soul Classics" and to use songs from there as opposed to other unknown soul classics. I hope there's no recent songs on there

Lost In Your Light- Dua Lipa & Miguel (so sad this isn't turning out to be a hit)
Best Behaviour (could have a chance of including as non-top 40 hits have frequently appeared in the early teens section of disc 2 such as Not In Love- M.O feat. Kent Jones, Raging- Kygo feat. Kodaline, Fireball- Pitbull feat. John Martin and Something Good by MOUNT & Nicholas Haelg)

Here's how my current prediction looks;
Now 97
Disc1
12. Drake Passionfruit
19. Calvin Harris feat. Young Thug, Pharrell Williams & Ariana Grande Heatstroke
2. Robin Schulz feat. James Blunt OK

I think some of these are good bets but I can't see Heatstroke, Baby or Best Behaviour being on there
Posted by: Hadji 25th May 2017, 08:26 PM
"Heatstroke" most likely will because it's not like them to snub a Calvin Harris song, especially when he's had two songs succeeding "Slide"
Posted by: danG 25th May 2017, 08:38 PM
I'm not so sure about 'Passionfruit' making its way onto a this NOW, Drake seems to be funny about licensing to compilations ('Hotline Bling' and 'One Dance' were included many months after they were hits).
Posted by: awardinary 25th May 2017, 08:51 PM
I'm going to update it in a few weeks when more songs enter the Top 40.
Heatstroke sounds like a summery song, and I think it has more chance of featuring than the flop Rollin'.
Rita Ora, Sia and Martin Garrix are all likely contenders to knock off some of those other songs you mentioned.
Also, glad you didn't include Steps in that list of unlikely songs.

really can't see this getting on there tbh

Posted by: Hadji 2nd June 2017, 10:03 AM
The only one which will least likely appear on NOW 97 is Stargate. Don't forget that Vaults appeared on NOW Mum but never appeared on NOW 96 and you missed out Shawn Mendes - "There's Nothing Holdin' Me Back". He has more chance of appearing on NOW 97 than Stargate has

Posted by: Dexton 9th June 2017, 01:53 PM
Up In Here- 5 After Midnight
Kissing Strangers- DNCE feat. Nicki Minaj
Waterfall- Stargate feat. Sia & P!NK
I doubt some of those would make it on there. I'm also hesitant to include Still Got Time as it didn't even reach the Top 20 and was quite a while ago now.
Depending on how they chart, I think some of these songs could make it on Now 97:
Lorde - Perfect Places
Duke Dumont & Gorgon City - Real Life (feat. NAATIONS)
Bakermat - Don't Want You Back (feat. Kiesza)
David Guetta - 2U (feat. Justin Bieber)
Imagine Dragons - Thunder
Liam Gallagher - Wall Of Glass
NEIKED Call Me (feat. Mimi)
The Script - Written In The Stars
Taylor Swift - TBC (she just added all her songs to Spotify so maybe she's more open to being on compilations now too?)
Zedd - TBA (feat. Liam Payne)
Icona Pop - Girls Girls (feat. Tove Lo)
AlunaGeorge - Turn Up The Love
Coldplay - TBC (purely my own speculation but since they have an EP out late June a new single might be approaching)
Posted by: Dexton 10th June 2017, 03:02 AM

20. Imagine Dragons - Thunder

Roughly 1h18m, with a Radio Edit of Sign of the Times and assuming Zedd is about 3m30s like Stay.

Would also be nice to see Zayn, AlunaGeorge, The Script, ALMA, Selena Gomez, and Hailee Steinfeld in the official tracklist.
Posted by: awardinary 13th June 2017, 03:05 PM
Release date is 21st July 2017.
Posted by: Joe. 13th June 2017, 03:18 PM
I wonder if Little Mix will get double songs on Now 97?
Posted by: awardinary 13th June 2017, 03:25 PM
Would be very nice.
Posted by: Hadji 16th June 2017, 02:36 PM
I reckon we'll get "Power" but not "No More Sad Songs". My question is which of the three Calvin Harris songs ("Heatstroke", "Rollin" and "Feels") will we be getting. I'll be annoyed if we don't get any of his songs on there
Posted by: Dexton 16th June 2017, 02:49 PM
I don't think Rollin' has a chance of being on there being both a) a chart flop and b) not a proper single. Heatstroke maybe but if Feels outpeaks it (which it's looking good to do) then they might choose that over Heatstroke, especially since Heatstroke only spent 1 week within the Top 40. It's entirely possible they'll go for both but considering the pool of songs they do have to choose from at the moment I think the double-ups could be short
Posted by: Hadji 16th June 2017, 05:38 PM
"Heatstroke" actually had two weeks in the top 40 so it'll be either that or "Feels". As for Ed Sheeran, we'll most likely get SOY but not GG
Posted by: Spiral 17th June 2017, 10:55 AM
This is going be filled with so many exclusives! All the UK No. 1s of this year haven't appeared on other compilations, but then again, I haven't even seen that many compilations recently. I think the labels are slowly getting rid of them. Soon it'll just be NOW and MOS albums.
Posted by: awardinary 17th June 2017, 03:52 PM

It looks like we could be getting two entirely different songs with the exact same name with "Cold" by Maroon 5 and Stormzy on NOW 97. The last time this happened was when Clean Bandit and Tom Odell both had songs called "Real Love" which appeared on NOW 89
Posted by: UltraRedLight 17th June 2017, 05:54 PM
I Don't Wanna Live Forever wasn't on the last NOW was it? Could see that making an appearance on this edition like LMLYD did a couple of years ago!

I suppose really anything is possible, but I'd say that it is very unlikely due to how long ago it charted and that it wasn't a #1.

Opinions on this prediction for Now 97. Have I missed anything out or is there anything you wouldn't think would be included?
Songs you've missed out
Cheat Codes featuring Demi Lovato - No Promises
Disciples - On My Mind
Liam Gallagher - Wall Of Glass
Maroon 5 featuring Future - Cold
Paramore - Hard Times
Stormzy - Cold
The Weeknd - Party Monster
Songs from the list which I don't think will be included
DJ Khaled featuring Rihanna & Travis Scott - Wild Thoughts. That will most likely appear on NOW 98 if "I'm The One" appears on NOW 97
Olly Murs featuring Louisa Johnson - Unpredictable. Flopped
Clean Bandit - TBC. Ain't been released yet
Kendrick Lamar - Humble. Most likely he doesn't allow his music to appear on compilations. Songs he's featured on ie. "Don't Wanna Know" and "The Greatest", he gets omitted from them
ALMA - Chasing Highs. Flopped
5 After Midnight - Up In Here. Flopped
Wale featuring Dua Lipa, Wizkid & Major Lazer - My Love. Not yet charted
Posted by: danG 19th June 2017, 05:57 AM
Each NOW album seems to have a few songs that missed the top 40 though, so I think Olly Murs, ALMA and 5AM could very easily make the album.

Posted by: George.keh 19th June 2017, 09:11 PM
Does anyone know when abouts the tracklist will be revealed
Posted by: awardinary 19th June 2017, 09:17 PM
My educated guess is the first Friday of July.
Posted by: Hadji 19th June 2017, 10:59 PM
We'll have the track list no later than 7th July
Posted by: gavindeejay 20th June 2017, 01:04 PM
It's normally around 2 weeks before it's released.
Edit:- sorry, didn't see Hadji's reply
Posted by: Hadji 23rd June 2017, 04:05 PM
Now that "Power" has peaked into the top 10, they're more likely gonna include that on NOW 97 and NMSS will miss out
Posted by: George.keh 23rd June 2017, 04:18 PM
I think there's a chance of them both being featured. There's definitely room for both of them I think
Posted by: George.keh 24th June 2017, 12:50 PM
Seems pretty likely we could get a song from each 1D member appearing on this volume.
Still Got Time- ZAYN & PARTYNEXTDOOR
Sign Of The Times- Harry Styles
Slow Hands- Niall Horan
Back To You- Louis Tomlinson feat. Bebe Rexha & Digital Farm Animals
Strip That Down- Liam Payne feat. Quavo
Posted by: George.keh 27th June 2017, 11:41 AM
Should be a good amount of number 1s on this volume- especially considering the low number of them on Now 96 and 94.
There should be inclusions from-
Shape Of You- Ed Sheeran
Symphony- Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson
Sign Of The Times- Harry Styles
I'm The One- DJ Khaled feat. Justin Bieber, Quavo, Chance The Rapper & Lil Wayne
Despacito (Remix)- Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber
Bridge Over Troubled Water- Artists For Grenfell
Could possibly get another number 1 if Wild Thoughts- DJ Khaled feat. Rihanna & Bryson Tiller is included.
Posted by: Hadji 27th June 2017, 12:15 PM
DJ Khaled's Rihanna collab will most likely be saved for NOW 98 if his JB collab appears on NOW 97. To be honest, I don't mind what's on NOW 97 as long as there's no less than 44 tracks. 42 or 43 tracks should only be acceptable if there's no space for other tracks because they shouldn't leave a massive gap like they sometimes do

Jax Jones (feat. Demi Lovato & Stefflon Don) - Instruction (saved for next edition once it's been a hit)
George Ezra - Don't Matter Now (not done that well so far, I am half expecting this to be in in-place of some big hit they randomly couldn't include though)
Maroon 5 (feat. Future) - Cold (quite old now and wasn't that big of a hit)
ALMA - Chasing Highs (wishful thinking that this'd get on but it could go either way)
KYLE (feat. Lil Yachty) - iSpy

I feel I didn't know any better I'd think that Disc 1 was the real thing
Not sure about 5AM, Neiked, Maroon 5, or KYLE on Disc 2 though. I think Imagine Dragons - Thunder has more chance of being on there than the others especially since it's doing well on both sales & streams with high likelihood of Top 30. I think in terms of "future hits" Dua Lipa - New Rules & Starley - Touch Me could have a shot at appearing over old/small chart "hits" like Maroon 5, Zayn & NMSS
Posted by: awardinary 27th June 2017, 01:43 PM
All things considered that's a very good tracklisting Dan.
My only change would be to see Heatstroke included as it's my favourite from the new era and very Summery.
Posted by: Hadji 27th June 2017, 02:21 PM
Future - Mask Off (too explicit)
Katy Perry - Swish Swish (not big enough this time to warrant two inclusions in one volume)
oh I just remembered I forgot to include Kygo's 'First Time' so let's pretend I'm predicting that to be a shock omission x.
"Mask Off" has a clean version otherwise R1 wouldn't be playing it at all
"Swish Swish" may get an appearance instead of "Bon Appιtit" because it's more recent
Kygo & Ellie may get an appearance. Let's not forget that his Kodaline collab missed the top 40 in total and appeared on NOW 94
You forgot "No More Sad songs". I have a feeling that it will miss out in favour of "Power" as "Power" is more recent and made the top 10
Posted by: awardinary 27th June 2017, 02:30 PM
No he didn't, it's there on Disc 2 and I agree that it should be included.
Posted by: danG 27th June 2017, 02:31 PM
oh, 'Thunder' must've slipped past me, yeah that'll definitely be on. *quickly revises track list*
Posted by: Hadji 27th June 2017, 02:32 PM
I meant he forgot to include "No More Sad Songs" on the list of songs which are more likely to miss out
Posted by: gooddelta 27th June 2017, 02:34 PM
I don't see why Little Mix won't get a double appearance. This is their biggest era yet and it was a much bigger hit than some of the non top 40s that will inevitably end up making it.
Posted by: danG 27th June 2017, 02:38 PM
Little Mix will definitely have a double appearance, it's not like NMSS was a flop single or left the chart ages ago.
It could go either way for Katy but my bet's on Bon Appetit because it peaked higher in the chart.
Think 5AM and NEIKED have a very good chance of being the token 'future hits', even though the former isn't likely to end up being a hit (I wouldn't put it past Syco to payola 5AM onto the album or however it works).
I've taken ALMA and Maroon 5 out my predictions and replaced with Kygo/Ellie and Imagine Dragons.

Various Artists Bridge Over Troubled Water
Zara Larsson Don't Let Me Be Yours
There are also rumoured forthcoming returns from Taylor Swift, Jess Glynne, Sam Smith and Avicii this year.
Any of those slipped your mind? Just wondering if we may see any other songs in addition to what you posted there.

Rudimental have a new song out on Friday with James Arthur which could make the tracklist
Posted by: awardinary 27th June 2017, 04:33 PM
I'd also like Dan's tracklist to be updated with Disciples please!
Posted by: Hadji 27th June 2017, 04:59 PM
Stargate might appear due to his appearance on NOW Summer Party 2017 but saying that, it probably won't seeing as Vaults appeared on NOW Mum but not on NOW 96
Posted by: Dexton 27th June 2017, 11:50 PM
Kygo & John Newman is coming soon too, if that's released in the next week or two then it might make the track list instead of First Time. Same for Zedd & Liam Payne too.

Wild Thoughts and Instruction are good calls but I think they will both be saved for 98
"ISpy" has done better than some songs on that list. As for "Versace On The Floor", that will most likely be saved for NOW 98 depending on how it does but with the normal version: the David Guetta remix will probably appear on one of their dance spin offs if they do one. I can't see Kendrick Lamar having an appearance as he seems like the type of artist who disallows their music from appearing on compilations.

can't believe I forgot to include them!
done that, they replace KYLE.

Posted by: Hadji 28th June 2017, 06:48 PM
Justin Bieber's "Company" charted when its parent album was released and got onto NOW 94 which is exactly what "Party Monster" did when its parent album was released and that is also what Stormzy's "Cold" did
Posted by: George.keh 28th June 2017, 07:25 PM
But the music video had just been released for Company when Now 94 if I'm correct so there was still chance for it to do well.
Posted by: awardinary 29th June 2017, 08:49 AM
Don't forget to save room for one of two unknown future hits/flops like Now 96 did for Sigrid and Post Malone.
Posted by: Dexton 29th June 2017, 08:58 AM
That's true but don't forget that "Company" was a Justin Bieber single that followed a string of three #1s, whereas The Weeknd has only had Starboy & IFIC lately, which were less successful.
Hopefully we get less flops/future hits this time though. Sigrid, Post Malone, Coldplay, M.O, & Ariana Grande all did miserably chart wise.
Posted by: Hadji 29th June 2017, 09:45 AM

Actually, "Party Monster" is the third single from "Starboy" like "Cold" is the second single from "Gang Signs & Prayer" if you don't count "Shut Up"

Post Malone isn't doing that badly actually compared to the others you mentioned, he's still climbing in the chart.
79-61-59-65-80-58-51-...
(M.O peaked higher at #42 but only spent 6 weeks top 100)

I didn't realise Post Malone was still hanging around in the charts. I don't really follow tracks outside of the Top 40 as much as I probably should.

Posted by: awardinary 30th June 2017, 07:12 PM
Well I thought about it and I think it's unlikely Ed will have another Top 10 hit this year now that his album been out for a while and most the tracks have already peaked, so they may wish to save Galway Girl for the following volume.
Posted by: awardinary 30th June 2017, 07:13 PM
Also George.keh, please can I kindly ask you not to quote every single tracklisting post when you reply, it's really not necessary.
Posted by: Hadji 30th June 2017, 08:58 PM
If we're lucky, we could get the track list on Wednesday like we did with 95 and 96. If only 97 was released a week early and I could have had it in time for my holiday
Posted by: Hadji 1st July 2017, 02:55 PM
His most recent song is "Secrets" so if they were eager to include him, they would use that instead of PM
Posted by: George.keh 1st July 2017, 02:57 PM
Neither 2 of them have been hits but Secrets would make more sense if they were going to include him
Posted by: Hadji 1st July 2017, 03:26 PM
PM made the top 20 but "Secrets" only made the top 50
Posted by: George.keh 1st July 2017, 04:13 PM
I still wouldn't class Party Monster as a hit or well-known
Posted by: Dexton 2nd July 2017, 08:30 AM
The only reason Party Monster charted so well was because it was, for many people (including myself), one of the highlights of his album and thus generated a lot of streams. If it was released separately before the album I highly doubt it would've peaked as high as it did.
Posted by: danG 2nd July 2017, 09:47 AM
Party Monster was released as a promo single a week before the album.
Posted by: Hadji 2nd July 2017, 01:39 PM
PM charted when the album was released but it wasn't yet an official single. But a while later, it was made into an official single. "Dangerously" isn't an official single, it didn't chart at all and they put that on NOW 95
Posted by: danG 2nd July 2017, 01:42 PM
'Dangerously' didn't chart but it was an official single. It got a music video and radio playlisting.
I am aware that 'Party Monster' was made an official single a while after the album, but it was released a week before the album as a promotional single, entering at #33 and then climbing to #17 the following week when the album was released.
Posted by: George.keh 2nd July 2017, 01:42 PM

[/quote]
Dangerously was a single there was a music video and it was playlisted on both Radio 1 and Radio 2.
Posted by: awardinary 3rd July 2017, 09:06 AM
I've been thinking, there's a big chance we won't get Despacito on Now 97 primarily due to its phenomenal worldwide success. I remembered that big hits like One Dance and likely Shape Of You which were #1 at the times the previous volumes were released, and they were deliberately held off until the next volume.
I can see that happening with Despacito in an attempt to give it an even longer shelf life.
Posted by: Hadji 3rd July 2017, 12:29 PM
I can see that happening with Despacito in an attempt to give it an even longer shelf life.
I don't see any reason why we shouldn't get "Despacito" on NOW 97. Main reason why "One Dance" was held back a NOW is because of Drake. You notice that artists like Drake and Ed only appear on numbered NOWs and not on any of their spin-offs or other compilations
Posted by: gooddelta 3rd July 2017, 01:37 PM
I can't see Despacito being missed personally, it's on compilation albums across Europe at the time of writing when for comparison, Shape Of You still hasn't appeared on the likes of Bravo Hits in Germany/Absolute Music in Sweden etc.
That said, while the tracklisting for Bravo Hits 98 isn't out yet, the cover is - and it has Ed Sheeran on it. Seeing as Castle In The Hill was on Bravo Hits 97 I can only assume he's freed up the rights to Shape Of You now and presumably the same will be true for Now 97, unless it's Galway Girl
Posted by: Dexton 3rd July 2017, 02:25 PM
So tracklist is coming either Wednesday or Friday. I can't wait to find out what unknown/future hits will be featured. Now 95 did a good job as predicting future hits (see September Song) but Now 96 failed with almost all of them. Hopefully Now 97 will be full of chart hits from the last few months + hits for the coming months
Posted by: awardinary 3rd July 2017, 03:14 PM
Well let's wait and see, I hope it does feature. But be prepared for some kind of shock omission that always befalls every release!
Posted by: awardinary 3rd July 2017, 03:16 PM
On another note, what does everyone think to the album cover?
It follows the same concept used by the US version of Now 62 but with some extra detail.
Which design do you prefer and why?
Posted by: Spiral 3rd July 2017, 03:56 PM
I think it's safe to say Despecito and Shape of You will be on NOW 97. I'm more interested if Drake's Passionfruit appears and if DJ Khaled/Rihanna's collab appears either on 97 or 98. If we got "This Is What You Came For" we MIGHT get Wild Thoughts, but I'm not counting on it.
I do like how mysterious the NOWs have become just before the track listing due to copyright issues with artists now. Takes me back to the days of "will Sony artists make this one".

We got TIWYCF on 94 because Rihanna is only a featured artist. If DJ Khaled is the type of artist who allows their music to appear on compilations, then there's no reason why WT will be omitted from 97 or 98

It doesn't always. Facebook is the best place to keep up to date.
I'm still expecting a Friday announcement.

Want you back!!!! Really good track list on the whole *.*
Posted by: gooddelta 5th July 2017, 02:54 PM
Omg, no Ed! Shape Of You will probably never make a Now then unless it's a very late addition on the winter edition.
Triple Bieber in the first 10 and the Demi double on disc 2

No attention either??
Posted by: Dexton 5th July 2017, 02:55 PM
Disc 1 is pop central with all but 2 songs being Top 40 hits (however 1 of which is likely to enter Mid 30's this week)
But Disc 2 seems to be a bit disjointed and not in any particular order. It's full of great songs but there's a few glaring omissions...
First & Foremost... WHERE THE F*** IS ED SHEERAN?
Charlie Puth & Imagine Dragons are also notably missing.
Posted by: gooddelta 5th July 2017, 02:58 PM
Got to assume that's it for Ed on the Now compilations now...odd that he's licensed a track to Bravo Hits 98 in Germany, though I'm not sure what it will be yet.
Posted by: Dexton 5th July 2017, 02:59 PM
Bit weird for him to allow Castle on the Hill on Now 96 but suddenly then decide - mid era - that he's done with compilations

Tbh, only the two Ed songs and Charlie Puth strike me as odd omissions, Wild Thoughts will probably be on Now 98, I wasn't expecting to see Drake on here and the other songs are midtable hits at best (or Liar Liar, which was never going to have a chance). Assuming they just couldn't get the rights for Ed and Attention.
They've done a good job with the selection - the sequencing could be better in areas as it's a bit slapdash towards the end of Disc 2.

They put "Dangerously" which flopped on NOW 95 but not "Attention" which was a hit on NOW 97. Wasn't expecting "Humble" to be included
Posted by: awardinary 5th July 2017, 03:20 PM
Well it seems there was.
As regards the inclusion of The Weeknd;
Both wrong!

Lol at Ed Sheeran not licensing either of his tracks for this NOW, but at least they can say they have a few #1 singles on this edition.
Was hoping they'd include ALMA, well maybe she'll make the next addition if 'Chasing Highs' actually becomes a proper hit. No absolute WTF decisions here either though a few understandable flops (JP Cooper, HAIM, RAYE)
Posted by: awardinary 5th July 2017, 03:29 PM
Well we were almost certainly due a shock, and never in a good way.
I'd wrongly predicted earlier this week that Despacito would be the shock omission, but it seems the Bieber love is as strong as ever with all 3 of his recent featured hits included in the tracklist. Two features for Little Mix which Dan predicted too.
So by the looks of things, they are somehow expecting the following tracks to make some kind of future chart impact;
Nick Jonas feat. Anne-Marie & Mike Posner Remember I Told You
The Weeknd Rockin'
Jax Jones feat. Demi Lovato & Stefflon Don Instruction
Martin Garrix & Troye Sivan There For You
Hailee Steinfeld Most Girls
NEIKED feat. MIMI Call Me
RAYE The Line
Fifth Harmony feat. Gucci Mane Down
HAIM Want You Back
JO Cooper Passport Home
Which ones do you think could be future hits and which will flop?
Posted by: pippa 5th July 2017, 03:38 PM
I had thought Steps Scared of the Dark would make the cut. It was a chart moment to see them back in the top 40.
Am happy to see Giants by Take That make the list, it may help attract some small sales to the single.
Posted by: gavindeejay 5th July 2017, 03:40 PM
That's a really good track list to be fair.
I wonder if they'll put SOY on Now 98? Back in the early 2000's they'd keep some big hits from earlier of the year and put them on the November edition (e.g All Saints - Pure Shores, Westlife - Uptown Girl, Britney - Hit Me Baby...One More Time). Maybe the label are asking too much to licence Ed's tracks for the series?
