I just hope the editing on the songs is better than Now 89, and that lots of dance hits are included!

It was only CD 1 which had the problem. Same thing happened with NOW 27 CD 2. I hope the editing is a lot better as well

Ooooh, I hope Living For Love is a hit, 'cos I KNOW we would finally see Madonna grace a Numbered NOW!

Yes, CD 1 had the biggest problems, but they shaved too many seconds off of most songs on both discs of the album, where they ended too abruptly. Maybe it just bothered me, and everyone else didn't care.

And the track started off with the final 2 seconds of the previous track

Ooooh, I hope Living For Love is a hit, 'cos I KNOW we would finally see Madonna grace a Numbered NOW!

 

I think that's unlikely....unless she's changed record label recently?

I think that's unlikely....unless she's changed record label recently?

She's been signed to RCA since 2012 and also, if she's been appearing on the spin-off series, then she will most likely make it onto the numbered series if her song is a hit

1. Mark Ronson featuring Bruno Mars - "Uptown Funk"

2. Ellie Goulding - "Love Me Like You Do"

3. Calvin Harris featuring Ellie Goulding - "Outside"

4. One Direction - "Night Changes"

4. Charli XCX featuring Rita Ora - "Doing It"

16. Blonde featuring Melissa Steel - "I Loved You"

17. Florence & the Machine - "What Kind Of Man"

18. Karen Harding - "Say Something"

19. Tchami featuring Kaleem Taylor - "Promesses"

20. 5 Seconds of Summer - "Good Girls"

21. Beyonce - "7/11"

22. Hannah Wants & Chris Lorenzo - "Rhymes"

 

Beyoncé won't be on there as she doesn't like her music appearing on VA compilations and Hannah Wants won't be on there as she only stayed in the top 40 for two weeks and didn't make it top 10 either

"Rhymes" might be on there, because the charts have been very slow these past few months, and they need material to fill a 42-45 track compilation. I hope it is on there, because I really like the song, or I at least hope it's on the Now 2015 Club Hits compilation.

And not forgetting songs which are released on 15th/22nd March ie. Nick Jonas, Sigma and Jess Glynne. They'll most likely be the ones to fill the CD.

Bar the double appearance from Cheryl ('I Don't Care', more than likely. 'Only Human', given Radio 1's sudden frostiness to her, not so much) I'd say that's a pretty accurate prediction.
