Looks realistic enough, albeit with the gaping omission of Love Me Like You Do!
Such a weak tracklisting. Although, I suppose their wasn't much to work with in the first place.

If it is true, they've made the mistake to include the instrumental version of "Koala" instead of the vocal version and the original version of "Lay Me Down" instead of the Comic Relief version and they've put "What Kind Of Man" which was only in the top 40 for a week but not "Love Me Like You Do", "Earned It" or "FourFiveSeconds" which are actually big hits

A) Surely the John Legend version didn't exist when the tracklist was compiled (at least in the public domain anyway)

 

B) Those glaring omissions are probably due to them not being able to obtain the rights from their record labels

It will not be the instrumental version of Koala. A bit of common sense please?

 

Looks like they couldn't get the rights for the Fifty Shades songs then :o Hopefully Love Me Like You Do will be included on the next edition then, seems like a huuuuuge omission.

In this case, it's like that with Taylor Swift but it's not her record label, it's her herself who doesn't want her music appearing on here. Same thing with Macklemore

That's what it said on Amazon and OCC. Anyway, OCC have corrected the error. What matters is what it says on the NOW website and it says that "Koala" is the vocal version

Weeknd and Ellie would be on there. It's obviously a legal reason they're not on there.

Mike Mago & Dragonette - Outlines

 

Why isn't this included as well? they include the lacklustre performing Ne-Yo song but not this :lol:

Yeah, those glaring omissions sound like label problems, hopefully they'll be sorted out by the next issue, they'd be all over a big Ellie Goulding or Rihanna hit usually!

 

Decent enough tracklist, a few blatant filler-y inclusions, but some of them are quite good. Great to see Pray To God & What Kind of Man on here in particular, will hopefully help the former climb the charts!

Ashley Abram used to go overboard with how many Rihanna songs would be included on one NOW album. Ever since Jenny Fisher took over, a lot of Rihanna's big hits have missed out

The only big Rihanna hit to missed out since Jenny Fisher took over was Stay until now so that's rubbish. She probably decided she doesn't like her songs being on compilations anymore like Taylor. Surprised Ellie is missing but it'll probably do a Rather Be and feature on Now 91. It was never gonna be an amazing tracklist but it's not too bad.

45S isn't on here either but we'll have to wait and see if it will be included on NOW 91 in July

The only omission I'm sad about is "Outlines" by Mike Mago & Dragonette. It's odd to see "Go All Night," "Wait On Me," and "Air Guitar" made it. I guess they couldn't get licensing for bigger songs.

I said 'until now'. To conclude that the compiler misses an an artist deliberately based on her own music taste is absolutely absurd.

Has to be one of the worst starts to a Now CD of all time for me, 3 of the first 5 tracks are abysmal and 1 of them isn't much better.

 

No surprise to see CD 2 blowing CD 1 out of the water, yet again.

To be fair, Stay ran into licensing issues and Right/What Now flopped. Again it's licensing issues probably due to Kanye & Paul. I have to say, this is a pretty week track listing, but also pretty amazing. The Sping NOW has always been a bit weak compared to the Summer and Winter NOWs

I said 'until now'.

Back in the day, some songs would be delayed by two NOW albums ie. Mumford & Sons - "The Cave" which is on NOW 77 entered the top 40 before NOW 75 and Westlife - "Uptown Girl" which is on NOW 50 got to #1 before NOW 48 got released
