Save a Kiss :wub: Is that the first Jessie appearance or did she get on with Tough Love/Say You Love Me?

 

Power on there but Ellie will still say it was only for the fans

Save a Kiss :wub: Is that the first Jessie appearance or did she get on with Tough Love/Say You Love Me?

 

Power on there but Ellie will still say it was only for the fans

This will be her first appearance

Oh, Jessie Ware's inclusion is even more surprising if they didn't even include her actual top 40 hits...!

Love that they included Jessie Ware. Wildest Moments deserved a NOW placement back when it was released, so at least they're making up for that.

 

And I love that they keep.adding HAIM. Someone at the NOW office is clearly a fan

Surprised 6 and 106 aren’t available to pre-order on iTunes yet as they’d normally be available to pre-order by now

Here's to hoping they pull out a NOW 81 and change the tracklist (even a minor one will do), unless they're already mass-producing the album (NOW 106, that is).

They did a last minute change last year to NOW 100 Hits Forgotten 90s so I hope this is the case. I don’t understand why it’s not on iTunes yet as the release date ain’t changed

According to itunes with NOW 6, the version of "Lavender" by Marillion is the remastered 2:28 version from 2017. "Uncle Sam" by Madness is the album version, not the single version. They only gave information for a few of the tracks but NOW 106 is still not up for pre-order. According to amazon, NOW 106 lasts 2:10:44 which means that there was 29:16 of total space left. On play store, a lot of songs have been edited and could have been left in full. Someone should go to NOW HQ and challenge Jenny Fisher for her job. Even a 5 year old can do a better job than her. No wonder sales for these albums are declining

Some new info about a few Stateside NOW releases.

 

First off, their Q3 release, NOW That's What I Call Music! Vol. 75. On 19 July, they released its cover art, which is similar to UK's NOW 102 (2019) (which, btw, I just bought a CD copy of and is now on its way to me - yay!).

 

Shown below is the non-animated version of the cover art.

 

@1285264515060379648

 

And just now, they made a sneak peek of the album's 16 main tracks by uploading a really fast-moving GIF :blink: . I will list them down here so you don't have to.

 

So, here goes US NOW 75's main tracks, as well as the NOW What's Next Bonus Tracks:

 

01. Dua Lipa - "Break My Heart"

02. Lady Gaga - "Stupid Love"

03. The Weeknd & Doja Cat - "In Your Eyes [remix]"

04. DaBaby feat. Roddy Ricch - "ROCKSTAR"

05. THE SCOTTS, Travis Scott & Kid Cudi - "THE SCOTTS"

06. Lil Moseyy - "Blueberry Faygo"

07. Doja Cat feat. Gucci Mane - "Like That"

08. Surfaces - "Sunday Best"

09. Justin Bieber feat. Quavo - "Intentions"

10. Katy Perry - "Daisies"

11. Powfu feat. beabadoobee - "death bed (coffee for your head)"

12. JP Saxe feat. Julia Michaels - "If the World Was Ending"

13. Ariana Grande & Justin Bieber - "Stuck with U"

14. Diplo (as Thomas Wesley) feat. Morgan Wallen - "Heartless"

15. Gabby Barrett - "I Hope"

16. Lewis Capaldi - "Before You Go"

NOW What's Next Bonus Tracks

17. Zoe Wees - "Control"

18. UMI - "Open Up"

19. kenzie feat. Sia - "Exhale"

20. Role Model - "For the People in the Back"

21. YK Osiris - "Leave Me on Read"

22. Dauzat St. Marie - "Common Ground"

 

Based on the track lengths presented in Apple Music/iTunes, the total running time is 1:09:16, leaving a void of 10 minutes. Its release date is confirmed to be on Friday, 07 August 2020.

 

From the outset, quite a good one too. Maybe I should be getting used to the urban songs? They're kind of not my thing, but I appreciate them getting represented more on the mainstream music scene lately. Not familiar with "Heartless" and "I Hope" - I had to even look them up just to be sure!

 

Half of the songs here will also appear on the upcoming NOW 106 (out this Friday!), and three are from NOW 105 ("Stupid Love", "Intentions", and "Before You Go").

 

Another big blow to the UK NOW team, as "ROCKSTAR", which I am aware recently had a long stint atop the UK charts, as well as "Stuck with U", appear on this album, but not on its UK counterpart, NOW 106. Hope they still have a chance on NOW 107 - same with Gaga & Ariana's "Rain on Me".

 

And yet another occurrence of a previous NOW What's Next bonus track being promoted to the main tracks, in this case it's Surfaces' "Sunday Best". As I implied, this isn't the first time this has happened. Examples include Hot Chelle Rae's "Tonight Tonight" (NOW 38 & 39), MKTO's "Classic" (NOW 47 & 51), and WALK THE MOON's "Shut Up and Dance" (NOW 53 & 54). There are also times when an artist appeared in the main tracks then to the NOW What's Next section (e.g. Michael Franti & Spearhead - NOW 32 & 38) or the other way around, prominent example is Shawn Mendes who started out with NOW 52 as a NOW What's Next artist and since then has appeared on multiple US NOWs in the main tracks section.

 

The US NOW team have also announced a spinoff title that recaps the decade that was, with NOW That's What I Call a Decade: 2010s. Its release date is on Friday, 07 August 2020, the same day as NOW 75.

 

@1285329884403978242

 

Here is its track list, which is said to be fan-voted:

 

01. Lizzo - "Truth Hurts" (NOW debut, 2019)

02. Pharrell Williams - "Happy (from Despicable Me 2)" (NOW 50, 2014)

03. Meghan Trainor - "All About That Bass" (NOW 52, 2014)

04. P!nk - "Raise Your Glass" (NOW 37, 2011)

05. Jonas Brothers - "Sucker" (NOW 71, 2019)

06. Shawn Mendes & Camila Cabello - "Señorita" (NOW 72, 2019)

07. Luis Fonsi & Daddy Yankee feat. Justin Bieber - "Despacito [remix]" (NOW 64, 2017)

08. Maroon 5 - "Girls Like You" (NOW 67, 2018)

09. The Chainsmokers & Halsey - "Closer" (NOW debut, 2016) [FINALLY. Should've been in the NOW 20th Anniversary albums, imo. Heck, it should've been in NOW 60!]

10. Ariana Grande - "thank u, next" (NOW 70, 2019)

11. Selena Gomez - "Lose You to Love Me" (NOW 73, 2020)

12. Billie Eilish - "bad guy" (NOW 71, 2019)

13. The Weeknd - "Can't Feel My Face" (NOW 56, 2015)

14. Lady Gaga - "Born This Way" (NOW 38, 2011)

15. Katy Perry - "Teenage Dream" (NOW 36, 2010)

16. Kesha - "TiK ToK" (NOW 33, 2010) [No, not the app! :lol: ]

17. Miley Cyrus - "Wrecking Ball" (NOW 49, 2014)

18. Lorde - "Royals" (NOW 49, 2014)

 

Very great songs. Could've been more diverse, though.

 

But apparently, the list above is for the CD version of the album, as shown in the NOW US website and Amazon. The Apple Music/iTunes and Spotify versions are presented as playlists, with more songs and therefore, is more diverse and made the 2010s decade well-represented, just like what the UK NOWs did in the past with their 3-disc spinoff titles, prior to shifting to the 100 Hits format.

 

Also, it's surprising to see the Bieber remix of Despacito in this US NOW spinoff title. In a previous version of this post, I pointed out that this more popular version of the song is barely featured on the UK NOW spinoffs (for instance, NOW Summer Party 2018 had the "pop version remix" of the song) and other non-NOW spinoff titles (except for a few cases, like the 2018 Grammy Nominees album).

 

And just a quick reply to Hadji's previous post: Darn, they used the edit versions of "If You're Too Shy (Let Me Know)", "Tondo", and "Save a Kiss" for NOW 106. Yikes! Also, nice coincidence that NOW 106's CD 1 is 1:06:54. ^_^

Edited July 21, 20204 yr by Ken A.

According to music week, the reason for the NOW 106 tracklist being short was because they never had time to compile it which was also their reason for it selling only 28k. And songs such as "Break Up Song" and "This City" would’ve been on 106 instead of 105 had the release date of 105 not been moved

Edited August 1, 20204 yr by Hadji

Break Up Song and This City could easily both have been on Now 105 had it been released in April, they had both charted before April 3rd. Hadji too often you can't separate your own subjective Now beliefs from actual reality.

I never heard of This City until it appeared on NOW 105

NOW 100 Hits Dance due for release on 18th September. I’d rather they did NOW 100 Hits Trance but if they include a lot of 90s and 00s dance, I’ll be happy https://www.nowmusic.com/albums/now-100-hits-dance/

Omg perched for that

I just hope it has actual dance hits and not just what they think is dance. NOW Dance Hits from 2016 and The Very Best Of Now Dance spring to mind. I hope it’s like the yearly NOW Dance spin offs they used to do back when EMI were in charge which was actual dance music

Do you think we'll see Madonna finally make an appearance on NOW 107 with the latest Dua Lipa single? It'd be so insane to see after 106 NOWs of nothing!

Depends which version they include but it makes logical sense to include the remix. Shame when Take Me Back To London was included on 104, that it wasn’t the remix version considering that it was that version what took the song to #1. But if the remix of Levitating gets included, I think everyone will go insane
