I managed to get both with my weekly food shop in the big Tesco near me just now so cancelled my Amazon order as they hadn’t been dispatched yet. Seems like a lot of the supermarkets don’t have them on display yet though.

I’d go to my local Tesco to get it but it’s on a retail park which also has a KFC and that’s the only KFC in my area which is open and a lot of people in my area have been causing traffic jams for that retail park just for a KFC and if I was to go to Tesco to get the CD, I’d get caught up in the traffic so I think I’ll wait

I don’t think BENEE, Little Mix and Matt Lucas would have been on there if they stuck with the original release date

 

Benee and Little Mix would have definitely been on Now 105 had it been released in April. Like has already been said, only Matt Lucas is a late addition.

 

My version arrived today, which was a surprise as it was expected on Monday.

Did you order yours from amazon?

Going to be doing a listen through of 105 on plug on Monday if anyone wants to join!

Mine actually arrived 6pm this evening so I’ll be giving them a listen Monday. Still in the habit of quarantining my packages for 24 hours.

I thought people do it for 72 hours as some people I know do it for that long

Live Lounge Allstars – Times Like These {1}

Drake – Toosie Slide {1}

I can't see the 106 coming out until August tbh! I hope there's enough hits by then to fill the majority of it.

I just hope they’re not anti-urban with 106 like they were with 102 and 105

I just hope they’re not anti-urban with 106 like they were with 102 and 105

What are you talking about?! There were a few urban tracks on Now 105.

Interesting article about Now 105 and the future of the series here:

 

https://www.musicweek.com/labels/read/now-s...on-brand/079799

 

Looks like Now 106 is more likely in August now. Also interesting stuff on licensing issues with some artists, and the recent switch to put older acts on Disc 2.

What are you talking about?! There were a few urban tracks on Now 105.

Only two compared to NOW 101 and NOW 104

As for NOW 100 Hits 70s, they finally realised that "Video Killed The Radio Star" and "Pop Muzik" are actually 70s songs and not 80s songs
