November 24, 201410 yr Author The Hits albums used to be quite bad for this, especially on Hits 50/51 when all of the tracks were rammed together and shortened to fit 50 songs on.
November 24, 201410 yr Author Right, I've had a listen: CD1 07 Meghan Trainor - All About That Bass 06 Olly Murs ft.

Popcaan - Kisses For Breakfast 09 Professor Green ft. Tori Kelly - Lullaby 07 Iggy Azalea ft. Rita Ora - Black Widow 07 Nicki Minaj - Anaconda Not exactly vintage. Thank god for You Ruin Me and Take Me To Church :wub:
November 25, 201410 yr Only 1 minor error I can see in the booklet this time (says Melissa Steel is 20 instead of 21) but that's an unusual low for them! However I'm surprised they didn't mention anything about Simone in the Ugly Heart entry.
November 25, 201410 yr Some of those edits are a very close shave and it's really annoying CD 1 is the only one with that problem. NOW 27 CD 2 had the exact same problem
November 25, 201410 yr Only 1 minor error I can see in the booklet this time (says Melissa Steel is 20 instead of 21) but that's an unusual low for them! However I'm surprised they didn't mention anything about Simone in the Ugly Heart entry. The booklet is very half arsed now. There's only one or two lines about each track where as before it they used to put quite abit of information in the booklets. :(

November 26, 201410 yr The gap between 'I'm Not The Only One' and 'Real Love' is so short I genuinely thought they were the same song for a while :blush: I was thinking, wow, this Sam Smith song is kinda long and epic. The piano riff in Real Love is majorly similar to You Ruin Me too, had that been the third track in order I'd be wondering what multi-artist masterpiece of a song I was listening to... Edited November 26, 201410 yr by BillyH
November 26, 201410 yr I agree, Disc 2 doesn't seem as bad for it but around half, if not more, of Disc 1 is affected. I won't be using any of the Now 89 versions of songs in my end of year playlist then, there are few things as irritating as hearing a blip from the last song at the start of a new one. What the hell? My copy has already been shipped, but I would have skipped purchasing it if I knew this was the case. This is what bugged me to death about the first installment of Now That's What I Call Club Hits.

November 27, 201410 yr Loving the unedited Walking With Elephants appearance! Very rare to see a track over 5 minutes on a Now edition I'd imagine, are there any other instances of this? I think either Blur or the Verve had one back in the 90s...
November 27, 201410 yr I've taken the liberty of calculating the scores from the rates and will post them later on, if anyone else wants to add theirs in feel free (but be quick! :)) Any bets on the winner? Edited November 27, 201410 yr by Dobbo
