According to Amazon. NOW 1 is being re-released on the same day as NOW 100

It's odd that the title is called "NOW That's What I Call 1".

It's odd that the title is called "NOW That's What I Call 1".

I know but when I saw it, I knew what it was straight away. I do hope we get a revised tracklist with extra tracks such as Freeez and The Assembly which only appeared on the video version as well as other top 10 hits from 1983

Wasn’t the original just called ‘Now that’s What I Call Music’?

 

Will this re-release be limited edition like it has previous?

Wasn’t the original just called ‘Now that’s What I Call Music’?

Yes it is but everyone refers to it as Now That's What I Call Music 1 or simply Now 1

I sincerely hope xxxtentacion doesn’t get a posthumous appearance on Now 100 :|

I doubt he will. A lot of posthumous acts didn’t get appearances considering they were bigger than he is for instance, Prince, Michael Jackson and Whitney Houston. If anyone deserves a posthumous appearance on NOW 100, it’s Avicii

Edited June 20, 20187 yr by Hadji

I doubt either Avicii or X will get an appearance, unless they still are doing one of the discs being only 'classics' in which case they may include 'Wake Me Up'.
