Why not do a Now...Gone To Heaven with all deceased artists right from the 50's to now. I'm not joking or being disrespectful here as there's actually an online radio station called Radio Dead which plays nothing but dead singers and groups. I'd buy that and I bet many others would.

 

I've been working on a playlist/track listing for something similar. Here's what I have so far.

 

Disc 1:

01: David Bowie - Heroes

02: Prince - Purple Rain

03: Michael Jackson - Man In the Mirror

04: George Michael - Careless Whisper

05: Amy Winehouse - Back to Black

06: Leonard Cohen - Hallelujah

07: Elvis Presley - (I Can't Help) Can’t Help Falling in Love

08: Whitney Houston - Run to You

09: Aaliyah - One In a Million

10: Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love?

11: John Lennon - Imagine

12: Cilla Black - You've Lost that Loving Feeling

13: Dusty Springfield - You Don’t Have To Say You Love Me

14: Ben E. King - Stand By Me

15: Bob Marley - One Love/People Get Ready

16: Donna Summer - MacArthur Park

17: TLC - Waterfalls

18: The Notorious B.I.G. - Mo Money Mo Problems

19: 2Pac feat. Elton John - Ghetto Gospel

 

01: Queen - Too Much Love Will Kill You

02: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit

03: Motörhead - Ace of Spades

04: Pink Floyd - Another Brick In the Wall

05: Kirsty MacColl - Days

06: Sonny & Cher - I Got You Babe

07: Visage - Fade to Grey

08: Dead or Alive - You Spin Me Round (Like a Record)

Great playlist, I'm sure there's many others that could be added but you've done well.

 

I made this for 2016 the other day;

Excellent. You could also have The KLF featuring Tammy Wynette - Justified And Ancient and George Harrison's My Sweet Lord. You could have a Freddie solo track on Disc 1 and a Queen track on Disc 2 or vice-versa.

 

Someone needs to contact the Now compilers.

I'd replace "Ghetto Gospel" with "Changes" as we never see that on a spin off

Nice idea.

 

NOW 61 is out January 27th. What a cover :wub:

What? January? There's not even been a single #1 since the release of the last volume yet! :o

"Closer" and "One Dance" never made it onto the US NOW 60 so there will more likely be two #1s on there. As for the cover, I hope they use it for the UK NOW 96

They usually release one around late Jan/Early Feb. And thing with the US NOWs is that they seem to go for consistency of artists singles, so if you take half the artists from NOW 60 and add their new singles onto NOW 61 you've got half a disc already, and as Hadji said they may include older songs like Closer, but I'm not sure about One Dance.

 

The question is will they get the Taylor/ZAYN Collab?

Probably but I think they could get Drake seeing as we have the rights to Drake. We have the rights to Drake and we don't have the rights to Taylor Swift but in America, it's vice versa but I think America also has the rights to Drake

"Black Beatles" was #1 at the time NOW 60 got released so I think it's a potential candidate for NOW 61

For those wishing to complete their collection cheaply, CeX are selling Now 92 (Xmas 2015) for a fiver now.

 

They're also in theory selling Now 94 for a pound, but I've yet to find a CeX near me that has it in stock!

Didn't think cex sold CDs. I know the one by me doesn't

First NOW spin off to be released this year will be NOW R&B due for release on 10th February. Hope it's better than the 2011 edition

I really liked the 2011 release! But considering it's so dated now I can imagine this new one will have more up-to-date stuff and barely any 'classics'
