True. I just don’t like how this years BRITs compilation has been knocked down to 2 discs

 

The third disc was mainly made up of oldies from past winners anyway!

Sometimes they'd do 3 discs full of the previous chart hits. I guess in this time of licensing issues they can't really get much.

Edited January 20, 20187 yr by Hadji

Release date for NOW Remix has been pushed back a week to 23rd February. There’s no other major compilations out on the 16th so they should’ve just left it as it was

 

The 16th is BRITs week though so makes sense to wait a couple of days to release to let the hype of all the albums die down.

Random question - do Queen have a rule that they only license their songs to compilations if they're made track 1?

 

Every instance I can find of them on the main numbered Now compilations they're either 1st up on Disc 1 or Disc 2, same goes for Freddie Mercury's solo offerings. This includes some very questionable inclusions of them as the first track in the mid 90s, I guess the compilers were desperate to have those songs on there and this was the only way :lol:

 

It's also happened with pretty much any other compilation they've ever been on - Now Spin offs, Smash Hits albums, Legends type compilations, even Huge Hits 2000 - I mean We Will Rock You with 5ive was hardly deserving of opening that album considering the other much bigger smashes on there.

 

It can't be a coincidence surely?

There are a couple of exceptions in the main series. Innuendo on Now 19 and Flash on Now 54 spring to mind.

You're right on Innuendo. I did wonder if Flash was a special case, being a remix/collab (imagine if that had lead Now 54 :lol:)

There’s other NOWs where they weren’t Disc 1 Track 1: 3, 4, 7 and 16

There’s other NOWs where they weren’t Disc 1 Track 1: 3, 4, 7 and 16

 

Still, since 1991 Flash seems to be the only instance that they weren't leading an album they feature on, so maybe some sort of licensing agreement kicked in around then.

 

I just can't fathom why they ALWAYS lead every time. Maybe it is just a coincidence! Odd one though.

“No Words” by Dave will be appearing on this years BRITs compilation which means it will most likely be appearing on NOW 99

The 16th is BRITs week though so makes sense to wait a couple of days to release to let the hype of all the albums die down.

Maybe the release date only changed on amazon as NOW themselves have tweeted that it’s available from the 16th

NOW 65's Track Listing from the US. Would've preferred Look What You Made Me Do, other than that it's rather good.

1. Taylor Swift – …Ready for It?
2. Demi Lovato – Sorry Not Sorry
3. Camila Cabello – Havana
4. J Balvin & Willy William feat. Beyoncé – Mi Gente
5. Sofi Tukker feat. Nervo, The Knocks & Alisa Ueno – Best Friend
6. G-Eazy feat. A$AP Rocky & Cardi B – No Limit
7. NF – Let You Down
8. Post Malone – I Fall Apart
9. Khalid – Young, Dumb & Broke
10. Calvin Harris feat. Kehlani & Lil Yachty – Faking It
11. Selena Gomez & Marshmello – Wolves
12. Niall Horan – Too Much To Ask
13. P!nk – Beautiful Trauma
14. Hailee Steinfeld & Alesso feat. Florida Georgia Line and watt – Let Me Go
15. MAX feat. gnash – Lights Down Low
16. Marshmello feat. Khalid – Silence

NOW Presents What’s Next

1. Sidibe – Unreachable
2. Jacob Sartorius – Skateboard
3. Olivia Noelle – Made of Gold
4. Eves Karydas – There For You
5. Phantoms feat. Verite – Just A Feeling
6. Indian Trap feat. Kresenzia – Look Like Monayyy

They usually do a Spin-off to go with the main album, but there's no news on that.

Jacob Sartorius dear lawd, any respect I had for the US NOW! series (very little) is now gone.

NF and P!nk being included on NOW 65 U.S. means that we’ll most likely get them for NOW 99

I hope Kylie makes it with Dancing. It was criminal that Into the Blue wasn't on NOW 87.

I hope Kylie makes it with Dancing. It was criminal that Into the Blue wasn't on NOW 87.

That was because Warner didn’t let any of their songs apart from “Riptide” appear on there hence why we never had “Rather Be” and “Air Balloon”

Bravo Hits 100 tracklist! Could give some clues as to what might appear on Now 99, particularly in the case of Perfect (Castle On The Hill and Galway Girl were both licensed to the numbered Bravo Hits series, Shape Of You wasn't...)

Disc 2 of Bravo Hits 100 is fabulous. Troye & Kylie! Instant purchase for me.

 

Not a fan of the 100 Hits album. I hope if NOW do this they go for some of the forgotten gems as well as the big hits.

Thrilled to see 'No Limit' on Now 65 but I'm disappointed that 'New Rules' isn't on it! Hopefully it'll be on Now 66.

 

Likewise on the bonus tracks, Eves is an amazing inclusion but cancelled out by Jacob Sartorius :\
