I kind of wish Everglow was included instead of Hypnotised for Coldplay, even though both songs failed to make the Top 40, including their earlier single Up & Up which made Now 94 last summer. In any case I hope their song with The Chainsmokers makes the next release.

 

Also, I'd like to see Zara Larsson's single with Ty Dolla $ign do something in the future too.

It depends if it manages to enter the chart or otherwise, they'll include her next single whichever one she chooses

Pretty odd.

 

Gwon George having the only no.1 there and one that's 21 years old at that.

 

Shame not to see Maroon 5, Cold is definitely their best song for a while. Also I had slight hope for Steps.

 

Don't really care about Ed Sheeran. It too me a second look to realise that it wasn't Shape Of You, that's how interested I am.

 

Odd that they appear to be saving hits for Now 97 yet included 2 Rag N Bone Man songs...

That is a strange tracklisting and I'm laughing at Post Malone's inclusion!

 

Most of these songs I feel pretty over as well. The albums just don't feel exciting for me anymore :(

Dua overload lol

According to amazon, the MJ Cole remix of "Human" will be appearing on NOW 96. I hope it's not true

I doubt they'd use any remix of Human considering it was the original which charted and reached #2, but if they did, surely it would be the Rudimental remix instead of any other?

I can understand the struggle NOW had. It took me a while to even come up with 40 songs. They have to find over 40 songs in the stale charts as well. That's tough!

Good list, Loreen *.*

 

Have you heard As I Lay Me Down by Wiktoria btw, seems like it would fit perfectly somewhere between Steps and Loreen.

Haven't head it. I will give it a listen though. I'll sneak it on to disc 2 of my NOW 97 if I like it xx

I suspect you might, it's another song from Melodifestivalen, a late 90s style pure pop gem. Check out Ace Wilder's Wild Child while you're there ;p

I doubt they'd use any remix of Human considering it was the original which charted and reached #2, but if they did, surely it would be the Rudimental remix instead of any other?

It even says MJ Cole remix on the now music store website but then again, it doesn't say that "Call On Me" is the Ryan Riback remix

How odd that they'd choose Fastlove instead of Careless Whisper, could they not get the rights to that?

 

Presumably Sigrid's inclusion will look less odd once it gets a push in a few months, but I can't see that Post Malone song taking off here.

They do have the rights to "Careless Whisper" as it's been appearing on a lot of the spin-offs. As "Faith" is appearing more frequently on spin-offs, they could have used that or "A Different Corner" instead of "Fastlove"

Surprised that there's a double appearance from Migos in this. Also surprised that Stormzy is on here but I guess he's fully mainstream now.

Umm there isn't is there? :huh:

Based on the previous few volumes, here's some early contentions for Now 97 of songs trending at the moment;

 

Ed Sheeran – Shape Of You / Galway Girl

The Chainsmokers feat. Coldplay – Something Just Like This

Clean Bandit feat. Zara Larsson – Symphony

Maroon 5 feat. Future – Cold

Bruno Mars – That's What I Like

Louisa Johnson – Best Behaviour

Stargate feat. P!nk & Sia – Waterfalls

Zayn & Taylor Swift – I Dont Wanna Live Forever

Ariana Grande & John Legend – Beauty And The Beast

G-Eazy & Kehlani – Good Life

Just Us – Cloudbusting

Drake – Passionfruit

Lana Del Rey – Love

 

Of course these will need to hold up their popularity leading up to summertime if they are to have any chance of featuring.

Umm there isn't is there? :huh:

Quavo who features on the Post Malone song is part of Migos.

I'm surprised that the John Lewis song got snubbed considering it appeared on the latest one of their spin-offs

With the tracks missed you could already make a cd 1 for now 97
