I doubt the record companies would give the rights to that just yet. It wil probably be on Now 95 in November.

 

Not a great tracklist for this unfortunutly. I don't really class DNCE, Walk The Moon or Shawn Mendes as dance, there's a few others on there I wouldn't include on a dance album either unless they're there in remix form.

Ridiculous to include Gnash. Hope it's a dance remix. They should have also included the Tiësto remix of "Dancing On My Own" and also, his Oliver Heldens collaboration "The Right Song". As for "Cold Water", you do get a lot of songs appearing on a spin off before appearing on the main series. Their other song "Lean On" appeared on NOW Summer Hits before NOW 91 for example

Cold Water is only just out though this week. Lean On had already been out a while when Now 91 was released.

Would have made sense to include the Zedd remix of "Rude". Speaking of Zedd, why snub him off the album when he's quite clearly dance?

I heard the dance remix of Gnash on Capital and upon hearing this, they should have included this version on NOW Dance Hits instead of the normal version

I discovered a website called music-bazaar.com and on there, you can download MP3 versions of NOWs 2-9 and you can also download the American NOWs too

Just 2-9? Are they taken directly from vinyl/cassette or just based on the originals with songs lifted from various sources?

 

I ask because the official Spotify playlists of the Now albums are all over the place, usually featuring all sorts of wrong mixes/edits compared to the original CDs. Taking Now 43 as a random example, Spotify's version has the wrong mix of ATB's 9pm and a couple of songs missing completely.

Just 2-9? Are they taken directly from vinyl/cassette or just based on the originals with songs lifted from various sources?

It has them all but I only downloaded 2-9. They weren't taken directly from vinyl/cassette and each song is the exact same length from the album release

Thanks for this Hadji.

 

I shall be listening and reviewing these albums in the coming weeks, please be sure to get involved! B-)

Another NOW spin-off coming to us on 16th September called NOW Drivetime https://www.amazon.co.uk/NOW-Thats-What-Cal...mp;keywords=Now

They're really running out of ideas aren't they, so what do they do... remake an already average spin off compilation that was already released in September 2014.

I hope they don't just use songs from the main NOWs. Instead of coming up with these boring and pointless spin-offs, they should concentrate on releasing NOWs 2-9 on double CD

Absolutely. I really wish they would.

 

How about a special release of them to mark the 100th volume in 2018?

I think they're more likely to release a Now That's What I Call 100 with the greatest hits since they started doing it.

A good spin-off they should do is NOW Grime. I'd like to see what their take on Grime is. As for NOW Drivetime, I'd like it if they included 2-3songs which will be on NOW 95

How about a special release of them to mark the 100th volume in 2018?

 

For Now 100 they could take one track from every album and create a massive 5CD compilation.

 

If they wanted to stick to megahits only, no repeated artists (featured credits/later solo careers allowed) and generally being as unoriginal as possible, I can see it being something like this:

...although they could go completely the other way, and make a compilation with the most obscure song from every album - a sort of 'Now That's What I Call What?!' - but I doubt they'd be that original. Imagine the Mark Goodier voiceover..."SONIC SURFERS! FOOL BOONA! DJ Q AND MC BONEZ! And MANY more MASSIVE FLOPS!"

BillyH I love your idea! :D

No, if they were to release a special album to celebrate 100 editions of Now, they'll release two discs worth of songs from the last three years and cram everything else onto disc 3 (and really uninspired, overused choices at that as well). :D

There would also be double appearances for Avicii, Sigma and Rita Ora at the least.

Definitely, and there will be the obligatory space for two more songs that they didn't bother to use.

Hall of Fame by The Script would be on there probably. It's on everything else.
