January 5, 201510 yr you'd think with how dominant Frozen was that it would be #1 here but clearly the popularity of the Now series hasn't faded, good to see that #1 from a musical taste point of view although the Frozen soundtrack clearly has more cultural impact than Now 89

Not sure if I'm surprised by the lack of soundtracks or not. I suppose there weren't many big films that would sell soundtracks this year.
January 5, 201510 yr Wow, Now completely dominant with all the spin-offs, no wonder they keep churning them out. Shame the Clubland series doesn't make the list anymore, although it stopped being great a long time ago. I used to love the unknown AATW stuff that filled the albums, now it's just like any other dance compilation. I still don't get what was so great about Keep Calm and Chillout, boring tracklist yet it had weeks at #1 and has made the top ten here!?!
January 5, 201510 yr The last time that a NOW failed to make it as the biggest compilation of the year was in 2008 when Mamma Mia OST outsold 69, 70 and 71
January 5, 201510 yr Shame the only 'compilation' album I actually bought this year (or indeed ever) isn't on here (the 'Mockingjay' soundtrack, which is amaze BTW ~) Is that sing-along version of 'Frozen' just an instrumental version of the main soundtrack or something?
January 8, 201510 yr If NOW Music didn't keep changing the release date for NOW Million, it would have topped the compilation chart and stopped "Keep Calm & Chillout" from hogging the top spot Edited January 8, 201510 yr by Hadji
