It's interesting that the US NOW team can add Taylor to their series, but the UK team seem to struggle.

 

Regarding WAP. There may be chance of it appearing. Anaconda by Nicki, F**k It/FURB by Eamon/Frankee made previous nows in Radio Edit form. It's just more of the issue of whether Cardi/Megan give clearance for the song.

Seeing as NOW 100 Hits The Legends is due for release at the same time as NOW 107 and there are no NOW releases on 6th November, it makes sense to move one of them to the 6th to fill the gap

I get the frustration you guys are feeling right now about the lack of T-Swift in the UK NOWs. After all, her last appearance there is from NOW 99 (2018) with "Ready for It", the second single from her "reputation" album. In addition, no songs from the "1989" and "Lover" eras ever made it in the UK NOWs.

 

(And that's only from her post-pop transition phase which produced more UK chart hits for her. But if you'd like to be a bit more technical, then so are the "Taylor Swift" and "Speak Now" eras, too, when she only started to make her mark in the industry, and "Love Story" off her second album, "Fearless", was her biggest UK hit at that point.)

 

Gosh, I vividly remember that T-Swift streak of US NOW appearances from the "1989" era - from "Blank Space" through to "Out of the Woods" that appeared from NOW 54 (2015) to 58 (2016) - 5 consecutive albums that spanned a year!

Is there any confirmation yet of a release of Now 7 on CD this year?

Is there any confirmation yet of a release of Now 7 on CD this year?

 

Yeah thats coming on the same day as 107

It's only 12 days later than that was and considering the push backs of the other two this year the date is pretty good

Only 105 got pushed back. At least it’s smack in the middle. Four months between 106 (24th July) and 108 (26th March)

Decent tracklist. I may buy that.

Heartbeat AND Tragedy? Does that not count as just one No.1!?

 

Interesting choices for some of the acts with multiple No.1s, not sure why they've reused some of the same few chart-toppers that were on the Forgotten 90s compilation.

I don’t mind how they missed out Wannabe in favour of Say You'll Be There. With Aqua, I’d have preferred if they replaced Barbie Girl with Turn Back Time and I’m shocked that Snap!, Vengaboys and Fugees aren’t on there as they frequently appear on NOW spin-offs. Maybe NOW wanted to take a break from using them all the time

Looking forward to seeing the 60's No.1's. Obviously no Beatles or Stones.

The Rolling Stones frequently appear on compilations. "Start Me Up" seems to appear frequently on rock and 80s compilations and "Undercover Of The Night" wasn’t removed from the NOW 2 CD

Not a bad list but then I’m a sucker for a 90s compilation.

Not 60's ones. They seldom appear.

Paul Woolford & Diplo featuring Kareen Lomax - Looking For Me

Nathan Dawe featuring KSI - Lighter

Sigala & James Arthur - Lasting Lover

Tate McRae - You Broke Me First

Becky Hill & Sigala - Heaven On My Mind

Calvin Harris & The Weeknd - Over Now

 

These songs are set to appear on the upcoming MOS compilation The Annual 2021 meaning that they're more likely to appear on NOW 107

Tate McRae is an odd choice. I guess they’ll be including one of the remixes? The Gryffin Remix is :wub:
