Welcome to BuzzJack presents…

BuzzJack presents... is a project that gooddelta, awardinary and myself have been working on for a while now. It’s a project that we took on for a variety of reasons. Central to those reasons is that we feel that the Now series has lost its way recently. The numbered series often doesn’t showcase what’s been happening as well as it used to, and the Now Yearbooks series have been less than fulfilling, hampered by contractual obligations and licencing issues.

In discussing these shortcomings, we often suggested that we could make a better attempt ourselves.

The first fruits will be with us soon – a comprehensive look back at 2023 and, for our more retro members, a journey through an abundance of classics from 1989. We’ll share the artwork, track listing and Spotify links shortly.

In time, and with the help of other BuzzJack members, we hope to build a collection of compilations that can be enjoyed and also used as a starting point while investigating a particular era, genre or theme.

I've enjoyed being involved in this and look forward to sharing the first couple of compilations.

It's kind of a companion series idea in an era where Now is almost the only compilation brand remaining.

I'm a huge fan of Top of the Pops compilation artworks with beautiful ladies.

We'll take that into account when we come to making the artwork for our next compilation.

It has and will continue to be a great project for me to be involved with, and I’m thankful to Colm and gooddelta for letting me be part of the project!

More news to follow soon! happy.gif

Was just looking through the Official Charts website archive charts of 1989 recently actually so looking forward to that!

It turned out to be a rather ballad/slow song heavy year.

We'll have 4 discs for 1989.

Are there any songs you'd hope to see?

We feel we've covered it well - certainly exceeding the Now Yearbook for that year - whenever that gets released.

Must go for Kon Kan - I Beg Your Pardon, that track just sums up the 80s decade so well! Fine Young Cannibals - She Drives Me Crazy is one of 1989's gems too.

For London Boys, London Nights is less cheesy than Requiem. biggrin.gif

Yes the year specific albums will be almost entirely UK chart based.

Certainly there has been chat of specific BJSC related compilations though.

You could certainly suggest or recommend songs for a potential tracklist of the best bits of 2023? wink.gif

Starlight - Number Uno is a very good dance track too, its 6 minutes long though!

While this has been a problem for a long time, this is for me by far the biggest reason recent Now compilations do not quite reflect the hits of "their times" and such.

I'm liking the 2023 list by the glimpse of it.

Love this idea and I think you’ve captured the year perfectly!
