(Why are there songs next to them in brackets?)

They're the biggest selling songs from the albums!

I will definately be doing this sometime later this week.

 

If I read correctly we don't have to order them from 1 to 10 right?

These choices can be in any order you like.

 

i'm having a really hard time cutting this down between the decades of 40-59

The worst was Now 63, low sales era with no classic hits and X Factor flops making up the tracklist, awful! Now 82 deserves a shout for including Euphoria but it wasn't exactly a classic aside from that. This list really highlights my love for 1998 and 2009! Now 78 reminds me of my little jaunt to Wales for 9 months, it was released bang in the middle and the tracklist reminds of the ridiculous amount of clubbing I did up there.

Surprised to see 55 so liked!

 

It's one of my favourites as well though, I love the summer vibe to it.

For me it was a very well put together compilation. Summer 2003 was boiling hot, the hottest of this century so far and the warm orange cover and the summery tracklist reflect that. The songs all remind me of leaving high school and starting my first job so I guess it has some significance to me in those respects too. Oddly enough, Hits 55, which preceded Now 55 by about 4 months, is my favourite Hits album, I even preferred it to Now 54 which came out around the same time. Hits had the rights to Delta, what can I say :angel:

Now 55 holds great memories for me. Very Summery feel. Memories of being 14. I can hardly believe over 10 years have gone by.

Barbie Girl outsold Perfect Day in 39 - didn't it?

Ahhh... teenage days. I remember loving Disc 1, with all those summery dance tracks.

I shall think about this later.

I only remember buying Nows up until 2005, so none outside that unfortunately, soz.

 

Now 61 (my favorite ever, brings back so many memories)

The Now's around 2005-7 was when I was the most into the series so they tend to be biased around there, I mainly went with the ones that have music that remind me of certain times.

Now 55 has Amy Studt 'Misfit' & S Club 8 'Fool No More'. Those alone make it worthy of it being the best Now album tbh :drink:

 

Oh I've included 'Now 56' in my nominations too!

I don't want to be arsey (and thanks for doing this), but I did say 10. Not that I'm inflexible, but others have applied their nominations to the rule so I'll only use your last two if it doesn't add up to 15.
