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

 

???

 

She will be #1.

Very appropriate tracklisting, but that disc 2 is horrendous! Quite possibly one of the worst discs for me.

 

Also, 'Anywhere' being the last on Disc 1 and below Clean Bandit's new one is surprising. I woulda moved Rita to the middle at least tbh.

Also, IF Rita gets to number 1 after Camila, will this be the first NOW album to open and close Disc 1 with number 1 hits? (Not including Charity or XF related)

The two John Lewis ad #1s, The Power of Love and Somewhere Only We Know, closed Disc 1 on their respective albums (Now 84 and Now 86), with No.1 hits also starting both of those. Also Sam and the Womp's Bom Bom was the last track on Disc 1 of Now 82 and Beat Again by JLS was at the end of the first disc on Now 74, so it happens relatively frequently.

Ooft. Nice! Thank you! 😁

NOW 83 don’t you mean?

Yeah the tracklist is official!

 

Was hoping that we'd somehow get one Taylor song and also disc 2 looks horrific :(

NOW 83 don’t you mean?

 

Yes, I did.

Disc 2 is shocking until you get to track 19.

Only major exceptions are Wild Thoughts, Look What You Made Me Do and Subeme La Radio but I wasn’t really expecting Taylor anyway. Weird inclusion of Rag N Bone Man- yes he did have a number 1 album but his other 2 hit songs have already been used he didn’t need to be used again. Also Praying by Kesha and Too Much To Ask by Niall Horan. Also, I think 3 number 1 sounds really underwhelming however there could be another 2-4 number 1s from this compilation in Havana by Camila, Anywhere by Rita and possibly How Long by Charlie Puth and Silence by Marshmello

“Too Much To Ask” might be On NOW 99 if it becomes a hit unless he brings out another song by then which does a lot better in the charts. I was expecting “Súbeme La Radio” to be On NOW 98 as it’s appeared on other compilations and went top 10

Where’s the John Lewis ad song?

Where’s the John Lewis ad song?

 

Are they even doing a track this year?

Weird choice putting Anywhere and I Miss You on this NOW, I'd expect them both to be top 3 hits eventually so surely they should be saved for the next edition where they can be near the top of disk 1 :unsure:

Heavy by Anne-Marie i thought would be on it as well

Are they even doing a track this year?

Imagine they will be but probably yet another one that won't have any chance of being a genuine chart hit.

Disk 2 is awful

I'm enjoying the track listing. It's got some good songs on it, sad for the obvious omissions. But you can't win it all.

No accounting for taste with some people, most of the bangers are on Disc 2!

Shame they didn’t include the official Children In Need single “Fields Of Gold” by Katie Melua. They should add it if they have space or replace one of the other tracks with it. It will most likely be on NOW 99 if it becomes a hit
