The strangest thing about So Good featuring is that it means Louisa is fair game for the NOW albums, meaning Jenny Fisher deliberately left off Forever Young in favour of much smaller hits :lol:

 

Must be the only top ten hit of the past few years that's been left out due to a factor other than not getting the licensing rights...(Calm After The Storm by The Common Linnets was left off for being a Eurovision track I suppose...)

 

What about Shut Up by Stormzy? :lol:

Isn't he unsigned? So presumably would have had to give the rights himself, which he didn't.

That's a tricky one as the song itself has appeared frequently on compilations: AKA Anthems and Grime Time to name a few

Maybe he picked those himself for being more reputable to him than a Now compilation.

 

Then again, is there a clean version/radio edit of the track? I guess they'd have had to make one if not.

If there ain't, they'd make one like they did for "Bassline Junkie" on NOW 84. Oh wait, there is a clean version of "Shut Up": he only swears at the very end when he speaks

They've made a right pig's ear of Disc 2, why on earth is That's My Girl so high up in the order? Plus 2 songs that aren't even top 40 hits within the first 5 tracks.

 

The good side about there not being as many hits now with regards to these compilations is the fact I'm always making at least 3-4 discoveries per edition, although generally they don't tend to be very good ones...

Don't know which tracklist is correct: OCC say 22-23 and amazon say 21-24

On NOW 95, disc 1 is 75:32 and disc 2 is 79:38 which means it would have made more sense for them to move one of the songs from disc 2 to disc 1, possibly DJ Snake

Those lengths are assuming that no edits have been done though.

Well not really as then you'd have the same problem, but just the other way round...

Those lengths are assuming that no edits have been done though.

"Still Falling For You" and "Shout Out To My Ex" are the disc 1 songs to be edited. If they didn't edit "Cruel", they'd have been unable to fit it onto disc 2. "One Dance" is the first track on disc 2 according to amazon and the final track on disc 1 according to OCC

I think it's a great tracklist - pleased for Gaga, Charli and Dua getting on there, but shame about Starry and All In My Head missing out!

Edited November 5, 20168 yr by MACMOORE22

I'll buy Now 95 out of tradition, I'm amazed by how well these things continue to sell

Don't know which tracklist is correct: OCC say 22-23 and amazon say 21-24

 

The OCC has been incorrect on numerous occasions when reporting news before so I'd say Amazon considering they're the ones selling it.

Amazon are correct. Went on HMV website and NOW Music store and they both also say 21-24. It would have made more sense for them to make it 22-23, not 21-24

Buying this! Adore all of those songs.

Ed Sheeran hasn't been appearing on the spin offs lately. I hope he isn't doing an Adele, Taylor Swift or Rihanna and refusing to let his music appear on compilations. And in other news with everyone getting hyped about NOW 100 in July 2018, we'd actually be releasing NOW 100 next week instead of NOW 95 if the yearly release stayed at 3 NOWs a year and was never reduced to 2 NOWs a year
