Also of note is this is the first time in 6 years that a single used in the John Lewis advert appeared on a Now album. Who can remember the last one without looking? :lol:

6 years? That must be Half The World Away then!

I'm suprised Lil Nas X's HOLIDAY isn't on here despite it charting for a week(?) in January. They always seem to add him to the albums.

 

Still disappointed that Wellerman is the original, not the 220 KID and Billen Ted remix.

I think the reason why "Holiday" isn’t on there is because they assume it’s a Xmas song due to the music video. And as for "Wellerman", they should’ve included the dance mix

Which it isn't though excluding the video. I dunno why they included the original version of Wellerman not the remix cause that's the one in the charts.

Does anyone else get more excited to see which flops made it these days?

Yep!

 

Maybe the next Buzzjack campaign can be getting a song high enough on the sales chart that Now consider it for inclusion :lol: Pretty sure Mollie made a bigger iTunes splash than a few of the songs on here.

 

Of course no space for Arcade by Duncan Laurence, it seems the inclusion of Euphoria truly was a one off in 2012 as I can't imagine it would have been too hard to license a two-year-old No.29 smash.

I’ll have to check this soon, but I think that P!nk is well on her way to becoming the most featured artist in the Now series to date!

 

Of course, Kylie getting another feature on this album will help her case also.

I can’t believe they ignored SZA when they included her non top 40 hit on NOW 99

Pink had now appeared on 16 Nows with 17 songs. To my memory, the following have definitely appeared more: Robbie Williams, Kylie Minogue, Britney Spears, Rihanna, U2, Coldplay, Girls Aloud and Sugababes. There may be more.

 

What is impressive for Pink is that her first 3 eras did not feature at all on a Now.

That's good news, glad they got PSB again as they never license to new compilations.

 

Love that the late 80s/early 90s TOTP theme The Wizard is on this.

I also love that the TOTP theme from 1986-1991 is on there. The version of the song which was first heard in 1986 was slightly remixed in 1987. I could tell the difference as the synthesiser stood out more in the 1987 version. I’m glad Janet is still on there as we ain’t seen her on a compilation for a very long time. NOW 4 was the last re-release without tracks being removed

I think The Weekend has gone down as REALLY well remembered it’s been a staple in clubs and parties actually and racked up a ton of streams despite its fairly low peak

Amazon now has the original tracklist too and the original cover.

I saw it on there. When NOW 9 gets released on CD in July, I’m curious to whether they’ll include the 80s mix or the original version of "You Sexy Thing". I do recall the 80s mix also appearing on NOW 38 in 1997

Did I miss Sam Smith's 'Kids Again' being pushed as a single? Or is there some other reason it's on there?

It was pushed as a single but only charted in the top 100

I do feel that a lot of the songs for NOW 108 were picked out of the hat such as Passenger, The Killers, JLo and Gaga
