The NOWs from South Africa have revealed their cover for NOW 75. The South African ones do come into their own sometimes. Last year they managed to get a Beyonce track!

How to check new albums?

As long as both discs for NOW 96 have more than 21 tracks, I'll be happy

Mark Goodier has done the voiceover for the Now That's What I Call Mum album, so presumably he'll return to the main series ads too, which is good news.

He will as he also did the voiceover for the NOW Running 2017 advert

Now 96 might as well include Ed Sheeran's album for free.

I just hope he hasn't refrained his music from appearing on the albums. I just hope he's doing a Drake and only refraining from his songs appearing on the spin offs. We'll have to wait till Friday to see if he appears on NOW 96

I can honestly say that if Ed Sheeran has pulled of appearing on Nows, I will lose absolutely zero sleep over it.

Hopefully Ed doesn't prevent his songs from being on Now, otherwise that's another album without any #1's after Now 94 last year.

 

Assuming he does though, which songs would be on? Obviously Shape of You but will there be a second if not third? Now that Galway Girl has been released as an official single and has high chances of reaching #1 next week is it possible that it will be on Now 96? Correct me if I'm wrong but I dont think there's ever been a Now album with a single artist being featured more than twice. Could Ed be about to break another record?

Both Rihanna and Calvin Harris have had 3 songs on a Now album, although never more than 2 as the lead artist.

I can't imagine Ed not putting his stuff on the Now albums. Even with how big he's become. He's EVERYWHERE and seems to want as many people to hear his tracks as humanly possible :lol:

 

And with him being the only number 1 since Now 95... Surely the Now compilers will do anything they can, to get 'Shape Of You'? :lol:

 

Has there been a NOW album with one #1 on it before?

NOW 4 in 1984 and NOW 5 in 1985. I have a feeling that he won't he on there as he hasn't been appearing on the spin offs lately

Unlikely... but can you imagine if he gave them Shape of You, Castle on the Hill, Galway Girl, AND the Comic Relief song with him? *chaos ensues*

He's only a featured artist on the Comic Relief song so there's a possibility. I just hope they don't miss out the Comic Relief single as they put the wrong version of LMD on NOW 90. If we do get one of his songs, it will be SOY or even better, we might get two but no way we'll get three songs where he's lead artist

Edited March 18, 20178 yr by Hadji

They'll save 'Galway Girl' for Now 97 I imagine!

 

Intrigued to see the tracklist and to see what is included!

There's also the very slim possibility that we could see the Ed Sheeran written X Factors Winner single performed by Matt Terry at Christmastime.
