Having said that, it’s more inspired than the usual 80s albums tracklists and I’d be interested to see a Forgotton 90s edition in the future.

 

But to me a lot of this tracklisting just feels like leftover quite big hits that didn’t fit onto Now 100 Hits: 80s, rather than truly forgotten hits.

 

A tracklisting of properly forgotten singles or tracks that didn’t even go top 40 would have been interesting, but I guess nobody would have bought it.

Here's a list of artists i'd keep but i'd replace their songs with these songs of theirs

 

Deacon Blue - Dignity or Wages Day

King - The Taste Of Your Tears

Level 42 - To Be With You Again

Danny Wilson - The Second Summer Of Love

Thompson Twins - Doctor! Doctor!, Sister Of Mercy or King For A Day

Sister Sledge - Thinking Of You

Curiosity Killed The Cat - Ordinary Day

Terence Trent D'Arby - Sign Your Name

Dee C Lee - Come Hell Or Waters High

Pepsi & Shirlie - Goodbye Stranger

Boris Gardiner - You're Everything To Me

Stephen Duffy - Icing On The Cake

Five Star - Strong As Steel or Another Weekend

Edited by Hadji

How the hell is "Straight Up" forgotten? I hear it all the time. Plus, "Mickey" has been covered to death, everybody knows that song.

Do you think it'd be too jarring to have KPop appear on NOW 3? BTS and BLACKPINK are quite big on the album and streaming scene at the moment, and seeing them on NOW 103 would make a lot of sense and tap into another genre/market. I'd love it! Especially since both are great songs.

 

I'd also love to see Taylor Swift/Brandon Urie on there, but I very much doubt it will. Taylor in't the most consistent artist on the NOWs, and now that she's on another label it may be even harder to get licensing.

Bring Me To Life finally on a Now?

I know. Shame it never appeared on HITS 56 as it was released by Sony or NOW 55 even. At least Def Leppard are finally on there

Edited by Hadji

I'm sure some people would have something to say about Nickelback on a 'classic rock' compilation :lol:

 

Also - having The Stone Roses but not Oasis is a bit strange, especially as Oasis have been on Now compilations.

Other NOW spin-offs I’m expecting or hoping to see in June are NOW 100 Hits Summer and NOW 100 Hits Reggae
