Think they wanted to include Paloma Faith as she has had more of a presence in the series than say Iggy Azalea, Ella Henderson or Robin Schulz that could have appeared off that album. It is also undeniably her biggest hit

Next NOW spin-off is NOW Rock ‘n’ Roll which is due for release on 9th November, the same day as NOW NOW. I wish they’d stop announcing these spin-offs and just show us the cover for NOW 101

We're not getting NOW Halloween on CD, so their compensation is a cheap Rock n Roll compilation instead. Yay(!)

NOW Easy has been announced for 16th November

Edited October 5, 20186 yr by Hadji

They haven’t shown us the cover for NOW 101 yet but on their website, they have a release date of 23rd November which means that we should more likely get the cover next week

The US Now Team have decided to cut back on doing a two disc 20th Anniversary CD, but releasing 2 volumes. One now and one in 2019

 

Volume 1's track listing has the "exclusive" of getting "Single Ladies". It's a nice 20 track CD (also available on Vinyl).

1. Beyoncé - Single Ladies
2. P!nk - Get The Party Started
3. Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time
4. Katy Perry - Firework
5. Lady Gaga - Born This Way
6. Taylor Swift - Blank Space
7. Demi Lovato - Sorry Not Sorry
8. Justin Timberlake - Sexyback
9. Maroon 5 ft. Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger
10. Calvin Harris - Feel So Close
11. Black Eyed Peas - I Gotta Feeling
12. Justin Bieber ft. Ludacris - Baby
13. One Direction - Story of My Life
14. Backstreet Boys - As Long As You Love Me
15. Kesha - Praying
16. Kelly Clarkson - Stronger
17. Lenny Kravitz - American Woman
18. Fall Out Boy - My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark
19. Keith Urban - The Fighter
20. Luke Bryan - I Don't Want This Night To End

Very nice tracklist to cover the 20 years of NOW in the US, as well as the inclusion of Queen B's "Single Ladies". At the time of promoting her 2008 album "I Am... Sasha Fierce", they weren't able to get that track, as well as the album's lead single "If I Were a Boy", for the main NOW albums (both US and UK) - but they did get "Halo" (for UK vol. 73 and US vol. 31) and "Sweet Dreams" (for UK vol. 74).

 

The songs "Get the Party Started", "SexyBack" and "American Woman" were also featured on their previous anniversary album "The Best of NOW That's What I Call Music! 10th Anniversary", released in ... well, 2008.

 

Amazon.com lists NOW 20th Anniversary Vol. 1's release date on Friday, 26th October 2018, the same day as NOW Vol. 68. This was also the scenario for NOW 10th Anniversary; it was released alongside NOW Vol. 29.

NOW have teased the NOW 101 cover on their Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages. Amazon have a release date of 23rd November but I was expecting it to be 16th November

Edited October 6, 20186 yr by Hadji

Even though it’s blurred out the cover already looks good!

And it looks like that the NOW 101 logo is lying down, not standing up

Got the new book today. It looks pretty good but I’ve already found some small factual errors.

 

Also I was a bit confused as to how they chose the artists they did. I thought at first it would be the 100 most featured artists but it doesn’t seem to be. It seems odd not to include Black Eyed Peas but to include Wil I Am. also pretty big groups like Snow Patrol, Maroon 5 and Pulp don’t appear despite the really odd inclusion of Cast.

 

Oh well, I look forward to reading the rest.

I downloaded the NOW Halloween album. I'm disappointed there's no physical version, but the track listing was too good not to buy it. My book arrived today as well and I had a quick flick through and it's very good... although very little mention of NOW 100.

 

Loving the cover for NOW 101 (even though it's blurry). Going for a Space theme by the looks of it

Artwork for NOW 101 has been revealed

It's amazing! :wub: :wub:

Oh my that artwork is great! Reminds me a little of Now 44.

The 101 is written in the same style as the numbers of NOW 90s and NOW 00s

Oh my that artwork is great! Reminds me a little of Now 44.

 

That's what I thought too! One of the best artworks in a long time!

I like that! Really good cover! I hope the track list is good to go with it!

I just hope it’s back to being 2 discs of current hits with songs which would’ve appeared on NOW 100 if that was 2 discs of current hits
