Only 16 songs? Poor value for money - a very Katy Perry inspired cover there, not very seasonal though!

I was thinking more Rihanna - S&M for the cover, and I don't think they've revealed the bonus tracks, should be along shortly. I have to say the US NOWS are getting a lot better.

'Now! 81' artwork

 

 

Weird theme for a spring edition...

I saw this earlier on facebook and think it looks nice, but would be better without the grass.

Songs I am assuming

 

David Guetta & Sia - Titanium

Alyssa Reid - Alone Again

Jessie J - Domino

Coverdrive - Twilight

Flo Rida - Wild Ones

Rizzle Kicks - Mama Do The Humps

Kelly Clarkson - What Dosen't Kill You

Pixie Lott - Kiss The Stars

Ed Sheeran - Drunk

Pitbull & Chris Brown - International Love

Coldplay - Paradise

Lloyd - Dediction To The Ex

Swedish House Mafia - Antidote

Pixie Lott & Tinchy Stryder - Bright Lights

Alexandra Burke - Elephant

Labrinth - Last Time

Dappy - Rockstar.

One Direction - One Thing

 

 

Maybe

Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know

Taio Cruz - Troublemaker

Beyonce - Love On Top

Flo Rida - Good Feeling

Avicii - Levels

I think it'll definitely include all or most of the #1's since "We Found Love"/"Read All About it" (the latest included on Now! 80) - here's the list, and I've bolded which I think will definitely be there:

 

The X Factor Finalists 2011 ft. JLS and One Direction - "Wishing on a Star"

Olly Murs - "Dance with Me Tonight"

Little Mix - "Cannonball" (they always include the winner's single, no matter its success)

Military Wives and Gareth Malone - "Wherever You Are"

Coldplay - "Paradise"

Flo Rida - "Good Feeling" (although I'm not sure if they've included him in the past)

Jessie J - "Domino"

Cover Drive - "Twilight"

 

And then of course any future #1's from this week onwards until about early March that don't have licensing issues.

 

The rest of Lee's list looks plausible - but again with Flo Rida, if they don't normally include him, I can't see them including him twice. "Bright Lights" is obviously wishful thinking on his part, Beyoncé is unfortunately rarely included, which rules "Love on Top" out. LMFAO will probably appear with "Sexy...". Lana Del Rey might appear with "Born to Die", but it's not exactly been huge - if the album continues to be a success, they may include it for that reason. Katy Perry with "The One That Got Away" is quite likely - but it may be too late by then. Maybe "Take Care" as well, and hopefully "Midnight City" if it continues to climb the chart.

Wherever You Are seems like the sort of song guaranteed to be plopped onto the end of Disc 2 or something...

 

Flo Rida's biggest hits have all been included on Now compilations.

I think we could see another Kelly Clarkson appearance :cheer: A top 10 hit, no reason not to include it. As long as they leave off the charity singles it could be a pretty solid now. I hope they do include Born to Die by Lana as well. A nice batch of female popstars that's for sure.

 

Although right now, i'm more interested in the Now Running album.

I think this looks really good. I was expecting something like The Workout Mix CDs, but there's some amazing song selections on here :wub:

Now don't have a Saturdays's song, what a shock!

Why do Now just keep throwing albums in our faces!

Now don't have a Saturdays's song, what a shock!

Why do Now just keep throwing albums in our faces!

Omg yeah! No Saturdays song, that must've been a tough thing for the people at Now HQ :lol:

wow, that album looks really good, Disc 3 in particular :o I may pick it up, despite the fact I don't actually run :P

I thought it was Disc 2 that looked particularly good, at first glance, it has a few too many novelty dance tracks though. About half good, half horrific choices though. I would not run to LMFAO or Pitbull. Shakira and Owl City are surprising but welcome choices. Survivor though :wub:, that's an inspired choice, excellent running song.

 

Not that I'll pick it up, I prefer to have more variety in my running songs than merely 60-ish (speaking of which, should really put together a 500-ish strong playlist for that, but it's an interesting little collection.

I just bought Now Running :o That tracklist was too good to resist!

 

One of the main draws for me buying this album was Waka Waka (This Time For Africa)! Finally got the normal mix on CD, the K Mix (the one they used to play during the chart with a rockier backing beat) keeps appearing on other compilations I have, and even her own Sale El Sol album. So yay for Now Running :D

NOW 81

Edited March 5, 201213 yr by JakeyShake

Has anyone else bought Now Running, I can hear the end of Taio Cruz's Troublemaker (which isn't on it) at the start of Rizzle Kicks' Mama Do The Hump and it also cuts out the last second or so from the song. Sounds like they've ripped it from the Love 2 Club album where these two songs are placed besides each other :mellow:

 

I hope that they sort it out for Now 81 (which both songs will obviously feature on) as it's a real glaring error! In fact I've left a message on the official Now Facebook page in the hopes that somebody notices and informs Ashley who compiles the albums!
