So Labrinth and Sean Paul are both confirmed 'hits' before they've even been released - how optimistic. Weird to see such a mix of old/new songs though - two ends of the spectrum here: Rizzle Kicks ('When I Was a Youngster' from October/November) and Jason Mraz (only released this week).

Jason got replaced by Flo Rida :) But you're right, i think they've covered the last few months pretty well.

There's hardly any good songs on it.

I think that the tracklist is rather disappointing, and really rather predictable- true to the form of the last few Now... installments.

True, but they can only go what's making the Top 40 really.

So the cover of Now 82 is here. I really like it, I don't think we've ever had a white font cover and is obviously a remake of the US cover of NOW 42 in the US (which is a pretty decent album (and i'm not just saying that because it contains Madonna)).

 

 

Spin off News

 

Now That's What I Call A Number One! (3CD) [9th July]

the cover is already up on play.com

 

it's to celebrate 60 years of the official singles chart. I love the cover, looking forward to the track listing :w00t:

Here are the Spin Off covers:

Also what is everyone expecting to see on NOW 82?

Never mind that, what is expected to be on Now! Reggae?! :lol:

 

I'm hoping the choices for the #1s album are a lot more varied than what was selected for ITV's show to chose the best #1... It would've been nice to maybe have a special 5CD set for that, but I guess 3CDs = 60 songs, to essentially make one per year (but then again, most years have many more classics than others).

I have to admit, I thought Now Disney was an odd spin off, but Reggae? I don't think any NOW has contained a Reggae song at all :lol:

 

And I hope we just don't get a ton of repeats we see all the time on NOW Spin Offs! I hope we see a Madonna Number one (so many to choose from) or at least a Kylie classic

I wonder if Euphoria will feature on Now 82, I can't recall a Eurovision winner ever appearing on a Now album, and the last Eurovision entry to feature was 13 years ago (Precious - Say It Again).

I would love it to be on NOW 82 :wub: If it has some staying power in the UK Charts I think it will. Will it be the first Non-UK Eurovision entry on a NOW?

I would love it to be on NOW 82 :wub: If it has some staying power in the UK Charts I think it will. Will it be the first Non-UK Eurovision entry on a NOW?

 

I believe so.

"Euphoria" has been released on Warner in the UK though, who are notorious for not allowing Now! to playlist their songs.

 

OMG at "It Wasn't Me" being track 1 on Now! Reggae - how did I not think of it earlier?! That should feature on every special edition :lol:

Now Music do get a lot of Warner music artists. Flo Rida, Alesha Dixon, Veronicas, Bruno Mars, Christina Perri, Ed Sheeran, Jason Derulo, B.o.B, Birdy and Wiz Khilla were all on Warner Music. And Madonna was on Now 00's with Hung Up. So no issues with Warner at the mo, so we could see it :D

 

And why "It Wasn't Me"? :( Why not "Angel". I love that song!

Oh it'd be great to see Loreen on there. If she stays around the top ten for a few more weeks, we could definitely see it on there!

YES for Loreen, Swedish House Mafia, Nelly Furtado, will.i.am and Cheryl Cole. If they don't make "Greyhound" album only I think it could get a little sales boost, as the radio edit isn't on iTunes at the moment. Nice to see a lot of new songs making it instead of being the best of 2 months ago.

Where did you get it from? It's just the track listing is usually released about 2 weeks before the release, which is the end of July on their website/facebook page.
