How about Now That's What I Call A Duet? I think that could be a really great Now album. They could go right back to the 60's and through the 70's, 80's and up to the present, without the emphasis on newish stuff.

With Wiley, Mark Ronson, Lauv and Zara Larsson set to appear on the upcoming Love Island compilation, I expect to see them on NOW 103. Not too sure about Wiley though. He could get an appearance if they’re not gonna be anti-urban like they were with NOW 102

NOW Summer Party 2019 due for release on 28th June. According to amazon’s description, "Old Town Road" will be on there which means it will be on NOW 103. I thought they’d do a NOW 100 Hits Summer, not NOW Summer Party 2019. Also according to amazon, NOW 103 has a release date of 19th July

Another NOW spin-off titled NOW 100 Hits Car Songs is due for release on 12th July. I don’t understand why they didn’t do a 100 Hits for their summer album?

Whatever you do, please don’t lose any sleep over this.

Probably because it’s cheaper to license older hits, which fill these 100 hit compilations, whereas the summer compilations tend to feature more recent hits for the most part.

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

 

Of course I would put Talk Talk by Talk Talk on there (and it would have to be the single version of course for me), also Reward by Teardrop Explodes, Jaki Graham - Set Me Free, Krush - House Arrest, Herbie Hancock - Rockit and Cry Boy Cry by Blue Zoo too.

 

But it is a good album (although dance and new wave aren't represented enough I don't think) and better than just having the usual overused 80s tracks, good to see History by Mai Tai, Hit That Perfect Beat by Bronski Beat, Brilliant Mind by Furniture, Brother Louie by Modern Talking, If Only I Could by Sydney Youngblood and Living On Video by Trans-X on it particularly.

If they’re gonna include Spice Girls on NOW 103 due to their tours, I hope they include "2 Become 1", "Let Love Lead The Way" or "Headlines". I think they should as they’re hasn’t been many major hits between 102 and 103

Edited June 4, 20196 yr by Hadji

I doubt Spice Girls will get included just because their touring!

With "Old Town Road", "Piece Of Your Heart", "All Day And Night", "What I Like About You", "Spicy", "Wish You Well" and "If I Can't Have You" all appearing on here means they'll definitely be appearing on NOW 103

Edited June 18, 20196 yr by Hadji

I swear they’re taking forever to reveal the NOW 103 cover

It'll probably be out in a few weeks. To the general public 102 hasn't been out that long.

I thought they’d have revealed it by now seeing as it’s out in just under six weeks

Looooool at Spicy being on there

I also hope that 103 is full of current songs like 101 and that we don’t get robbed like we did on 100 or short-changed like we did on 102

With "Old Town Road", "Piece Of Your Heart", "All Day And Night", "What I Like About You", "Spicy", "Wish You Well" and "If I Can't Have You" all appearing on here means they'll definitely be appearing on NOW 103

 

Unless there’s a Baby Shark/Now Party type situation. Though the only one I could realistically see not making Now 103 is Spicy, but hopefully it will.

Considering there hasn’t been many major hits since 102, there could be a possibility of Spicy appearing as it’s also appeared on this years Love Island compilation. I just hope they’re not gonna be too anti-urban like they were with 102

Will be interesting to see if they include Vossi Bop. If they do it'll probably be at the end of disc 1 out the way. I hope they use the Billy Ray Cyrus version. Hope Ed licences 'I Don't Care'.

They will use the Billy Ray Cyrus remix of OTR like they did on NOW Summer Party 2019. As for Stormzy, he ain’t the type of artist who won’t license his tracks. It’s just a case of whether they’ll be anti-urban like they were with 102 and VB will more likely open disc 2 if they don’t refuse to include it

You say that but Shut Up didn’t feature. Or was that ‘snubbed’?
