I've never even heard of it, how did it do?

It only got released last week

So, the NOW Music team just released this advert for the UK-exclusive NOW Music App.

 

 

Featured in this 30-second ad are a handful of tracks from NOW 100, including "One Kiss", "Rise", "Shotgun", and "Familiar", as well as... wait for it...

 

Drake's "In My Feelings" ("Kiki, do you love me~").

 

It got me thinking, is this a sign that "In My Feelings" might be included on NOW 101? :o

 

Let me know what you guys think. Thanks.

Full tracklist now on the Now facebook page

 

Edit:- I'll type it up for you. Give me 10 :)

No Drake, but you can't win it all. Amazing track listing that covers different genres and features some great bops! And a Cheryl exclusive? Incredible!

Really good actually. Sad to see Shallow not on it, but maybe they'll get it for Now 102, When I Kissed The Teacher is a big surprise though!

 

Is the Andrea/Dua track even getting a commercial push?

 

I really expected to see Lost Without You too, but maybe Freya's label want to hold it back until it's done in the charts.

 

Thank god it's back to two discs too...!

Really good tracklist to be fair. I think there's a couple of songs in the wrong order, but on the whole pretty good :)

Surprised at no Breathin'

Initial thoughts:

 

- glad to see they're back to 2 discs of current chart hits, and that they've made full use of the run time having 46 tracks.

- pleased with the urban and dance representation, particularly pleased that 'Panic Room' has made it

- no truly baffling inclusions except for perhaps Sigrid when the song's done nothing and it's not as if she's a big name like Take That or Andrea Bocelli (Bocelli is a bit of a Lol inclusion but the song has Dua on it and his album went to #1)

- very late to the party with 'Pray For Me', they could have included 'Call Out My Name' instead surely to make it more up-to-date, although I do prefer PFM

- I would've put 'Promises' as track 1 over 'Woman Like Me', though I suppose they didn't want to put Calvin as track 1 disc 1 on two occasions in a row - if they really wanted to avoid that, they could've put 'Eastside' over it as that is a much bigger hit than WLM ('Eastside' being as low as track 6 is a bit odd considering how big it is)

- 'Happier' is also a bit too low on disc 1 considering its big hit status.

- 'Hold My Girl' as high as track 4 is a bit odd too, they must be banking on that being a big hit. I imagine it will be but they could've saved that for the end of the disc just to be safe.

- surprised they managed to bag a musical track but I guess 'When I Kissed The Teacher' was fairly easy to get as MM2 wasn't half as big as TGS, and ASIB is a lot more recent (and also has bigger hits on it)

- two Khalid tracks in a row, really?? not a great sequencing decision there.

- no Drake lead tracks or Eminem is to be expected, at least they managed to get two Drake features (surprised at 'Sicko Mode' considering its length but maybe they have edited it)

- I take it 'Breathin' won't make a NOW then as 'Thank U, Next' will most likely be on 102.

Also back to back Jonas Blue too although Back & Forth is more MK to be fair!

at least the two Jonas Blue songs have completely different vocalists!

Another omission I'm surprised isn't on there is Ruin My Life but maybe the label think it's too early??

The Cheryl song hasn't even come out yet!

Cheryl and Zara aren't on the same label. :P

First time Little Mix have been #1 on Now I think?

I think they really decided it's too early for "Ruin My Life", she'll probably appear on 102.

And 'thank u, next' will for sure be on 102 too.

 

Surprised with "Sucker Punch", the song did nothing on the charts. Good for Cheryl tho.

It’s ok I guess from what I know of recent music. I still don’t think I’ll be continuing my collection but I guess I could end up changing my mind. I certainly won’t be rushing for this.

Cheryl and Zara aren't on the same label. :P

I thought he meant Now's label. :P

First thing that jumped out at me was seeing 'Hold My Girl' so high - definitely seem to be confident it'll be a big hit this Christmas!

 

Got to say I was surprised to see Take That on there, I guess others might not be because of their name and I think NOW have always been quite faithful to them, but the song just feels totally under the radar. As much as this song hasn't done much better, I'd have thought Olly Murs' 'Moves' would have been similar enough but slightly more relevant. Then I saw Andrea Bocelli of course which really was a shocker - regardless of Dua Lipa and a #1 album!

 

A good list though! Don't feel inclined to start buying NOW albums again but it definitely says to me that chart music is generally improving.

They should replace Weekendrick or Andrea with Zara
