Pretty good tracklist to be fair, even though it does get poppy towards the end with Anne-Marie and Jason Derulo.

Nice to see a mixture of old and new dance hits although I’d prefer it more if it was mainly old dance hits. Shame about the lack of Trance on this album. This is why they should do a NOW 100 Hits 90s Dance, NOW 100 Hits 00s Dance and NOW 100 Hits Trance

I'm surprised that Roses (Imanbek Remix) by SAINt JHN isn't on here.

Funny that Ciao Adios is the song chosen when she has actual dance songs out there with major producers :lol:

If I bought Now - Ever More Forgotten 90s, i would never play Disc 1 Track 20 because It's Oh So Quiet by Bjork is my most hated song of all time

Does that album even exist?

Does that album even exist?

No it doesn’t. NOW 100 Hits Forgotten 90s exists though. I still can’t believe they did track swaps on that album and they even swapped one of the songs on there for an 80s song

That looks like a fun album, but too many of those tracks have been used on every other 80’s spin off release. I really think they should leave the 80’s era alone now, they’ve overkilled the nostalgia of that decade and made too many of the same kinds of spin offs. It is time to move on and focus on more recent eras like the 2000’s and the 2010’s which would still appeal to many younger audiences too.

They should start releasing 00s or 10s compilations as they’re killing the 80s compilations. At least there’s songs on there which haven’t been on a compilation for a long time like "Swing The Mood". The last compilation that it appeared on was NOW 15 in 1989 and I’m not liking that some artists are having double appearances

Even 90s albums would be better.

Can't help but reply to some of the posts in here. Allow me to have my say...

 

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

 

Indeed, Madge hasn't appeared in any of the numbered NOWs in the UK. The closest would be her appearances in the spinoff titles. Some of them include NOW That's What I Call the 00's*, where her 2005 UK number-one song "Hung Up" made an appearance, and the retrospective NOW That's What I Call 30 Years, released in 2013, that included her 80's hit "Into the Groove", which was also a UK number-one. It's a different story stateside, though, where she made her first-ever numbered NOW appearance on NOW 42 (2012) with "Give Me All Your Luvin'" featuring Nicki Minaj and M.I.A., the lead single from her 2012 album "MDNA" and her first single under her current record label Interscope.

 

*I'm talking about the 2010 version of NOW 00's (I personally own a copy of it!), which I'd like to call the Ashley Abram version, as he was still at the helm at the time. It's because there is another version of NOW 00's released in 2017, which of course, is done by current compiler Jenny Fisher.

 

Funny that Ciao Adios is the song chosen when she has actual dance songs out there with major producers :lol:

Yep. There's "Rockabye" with Clean Bandit (from NOW 95, 2016), "FRIENDS (Official Friendzone Anthem)" with Marshmello (NOW 99, 2018), and "Don't Leave Me Alone" with David Guetta (NOW 101, 2018), and that's just the ones with the, as you said, major producers.

Some of these songs shouldn't be on here as they were released and peaked in 2009

Edited September 25, 20204 yr by Hadji

Some? There's 3 seeing as the tracklist is in order of release. Bad Romance re-peaked at #1 in January 2010 and TiK ToK / Meet Me Halfway were released in late 2009 and had longevity into the following year. I get where you're coming from but it really doesn't matter

You forgot "Fight For This Love". That quite clearly reached #1 in 2009. "Bad Romance" first reached #1 in December 2009 then returned to the top in January 2010 but it’s still classed as a 00s hit

Could the Cheryl one be a typo? Could it be Call My Name?

It would make more sense to replace FFTL with CMN

That was my initial thought though it was a 2012 song and it’s in between 2011 songs. Still it’s not as out of place as FFTL is.

Yet one of the biggest names of the decade is missing completely! Ed Sheeran.
