Selena Gomez has a new song out with Marshmello and seeing as she’s credited as the lead artist on the song, they could include it on NOW 98 to give the song a boost. Another reason to include it is because if they had to include her on the album, it would make more sense to include her new song instead of “Fetish”

According to amazon, there’s a NOW Party being released on 8th December. Not sure if it will be a UK release as I checked details and it said import

This tracklist is showing up on Amazon for Now 98, looks legit and I guess we should be expecting the announcement around now. And what with the early leak of the cover in Asda, they're not exactly on the ball this time :lol:

Interesting to see Galway Girl! I guess it was just Shape Of You that was vetoed, rather than Ed altogether. Which explains why Galway Girl was on a Bravo Hits compilation too. A big coup for Havana if it gets the opening spot. Anywhere and I Miss You weirdly far down the tracklist though. Good to see The Killers and Liam Gallagher make it on, if this is indeed true.

They should replace The Killers and Rag'n'Bone Man with DJ Khaled and Niall Horan. Again, they can’t be bothered to include “Know No Better” even though they can be bothered to plaster “Lean On”, “Light It Up” and “Cold Water” all over their boring pointless spin-offs and I’m shocked they kick the album off with Camila Cabello. They should’ve kicked off with Post Malone or Sam Smith

I guess Havana is more commercial, the Now albums tend to kick off with a big pop hit usually, even though Rockstar has obviously had major success I'd wager average Joe that plonks Now albums into the trolley with the food shopping is more likely to know and like Havana.

 

Surprised that Subeme La Radio and Wild Thoughts aren't on here, does Rihanna/her label really leverage that much power that she can now stop tracks she features on being included!?! Taylor being left out was more expected of course.

It’s not up to Rihanna on WT. It’s up to DJ Khaled as it’s HIS song and if it’s he case that she has power, TIWYCF wouldn’t have been included on NOW 94

Indeed, but it's odd that I'm The One was licensed to Now 97, but not Wild Thoughts to Now 98.

I wish they’d replace Chris & Kem with a posthumous act ie. Linkin Park, Glen Campbell or Tom Petty or add the posthumous act as an extra if there’s enough space

Apart from being huge on streaming Rockstar has had very little cultural impact compared to most #1s.

 

I actually think New Rules would have been a better opener.

Strange Ed Sheeran choice. Galway Girl was released as a single on the 18th March, which is around the same time it peaked. I would’ve thought Now 97 should have had GG then Now 98 to get Perfect. Hopefully Now 99 will have Perfect but this seems very strange to me.

 

Great for The Killers but it’s a shame Imagine Dragons & Linkin Park missed out.

 

Pretty much all of those songs are big hits, with very little “coming soon” tracks. Not that that’s a bad thing but I feel as though there’s more pre-Now 98 period songs than there is post-Now 98 songs if you know what I mean. Songs like Galway Girl (as mentioned before), Get Low, Rain, Wall Of Glass and Swish Swish seem so old now whereas there’s only 2-3 songs that are yet to chart/take off

TGAG would’ve been a better opener

I think that personally either Havana or New Rules would have been great openers (luckily Havana actually is *.*) TH OF I feel like hasn't made that much cultural impact.

No it wouldn't.

 

 

(James Arthur opening last year's with a ballad wasn't a great way to go).

Agreed, New Rules was the only other good option in my mind, but maybe Havana was chosen as it's more recent and they like to keep things fresh.

 

Too Good At Goodbyes would have been as bad as The Writing's On The Wall opening Now 92. What Do You Mean? deserved that slot but again, Sam's song was newer at the time hence why it probably got the nod.

That's actually a very good track list, no wtf inclusions - I'm surprised!!

 

All of the songs being top 40 hits other than RnB Man and The Killers and those two can Be justified from their number one albums.

So not a complete disaster really! Not into Havana or Rockstar being tracks 1 and 2 but oh well. Think it should have been Dua or Pink leading but it’s not an odd opening (like Blue on Now 59)

 

Nice to see both Pink and Maroon 5 appear but they were expected. I knew Ed would appear but I thought it would be a really late inclusion for Shape of You. Could’ve lived without him at any rate.

 

Lovely surprise to see Rag N Bone Man, Paloma Faith, Liam Gallagher and the Killers! Didn’t think any of them would feature but they’ve brightened up disc 2 for me which was starting to look a lot like a load of random dance shit I’ve never heard/can’t remember.

 

Would have been nice to see Stereophonics but their singles have had no real impact.

 

I already knew better than to think Anastacia or The Corrs would appear. I’m so f***ing old.

It’s the first NOW since NOW 80 to start off with a non #1 despite there being #1s on the album, not counting NOW 96 which only includes a #1 from a posthumous artist

Isn’t Havana going to be no.1 though?

It's set to climb to #1 this week, I would imagine the tracklist was finalised earlier in the week once the midweeks (and Camila's lead over Post Malone) were known.

It depends how far ahead she is from Post Malone. He might pip her to the post as he’s way ahead on streaming. If she does climb to #1, it would be like a Rihanna situation like when she climbed to #1 after the NOW 77 tracklist was announced
