NOW 100 Hits Christmas due for release on 8th November, NOW 100 Hits Party doesn’t have a release date neither does NOW 4 and NOW 104 but I imagine the release date for 4 and 104 will be 22nd November

Ooh. Intrigued by Now 100 Hits Christmas. I usually only muster up about 30 tracks I actually like for my playlist each year :lol:

I’d love it if Now 100 Christmas could include a Killers track!

 

Not a bad track list for 90’s forgotten hits. I expected a couple of we’ll known tracks but to be fair they went for tracks that aren’t often played on Radio and I don’t think any of the songs on there would be signature hits. Maybe S Club at a push but I’d say ‘Reach’ and ‘Never Had A Dream’ would come out on top If I asked people to name me an S Club track.

Cowboys Christmas Ball to be The Killers track, if they included one. So underrated and it's not to be found on streaming </3

All Alone On Christmas from Home Alone 2 deserves to be on the album too

I’d love it if Now 100 Christmas could include a Killers track!

I've always thought S Club 7 are a rare pop band who could lay claim to having a number of signature tracks. Reach is definitely the big one I'd say but Don't Stop Movin' is the other one that usually gets rinsed on compilations.

 

Bring It All Back, Never Had A Dream Come True and S Club Party are all very recognisable too though.

I didn't think about DSM when I wrote that but yeah they do have some great songs once you start delving into them.

 

Meanwhile Now have teased a blurred image of the cover artwork to Now 104. Looks like a brown, yellow cover this time. Looks a similar colour scheme to Now 37 to me.

I’m just glad that NOW 104 will have at least one #1. Seeing as Ed is selfish with his #1s, then we should get SOTB to compensate as long as that doesn’t hit #1. Also, when they re-release NOW 4 on CD, I hope they put the special dance mix of No More Lonely Nights like they did on the vinyl version. I also reckon that "Passengers" will be one of the throwback tracks on NOW 104 due to the success of Elton John's biopic. It’s also a shame that "Drive" by The Cars never appeared on NOW 4 otherwise they could’ve included it on 104 as one of the throwback tracks as a tribute to the lead singer who died

Attention everyone: NOW 104's front cover art and release date has just been revealed. It is set for release on Friday, 08 November 2019, just about 5 weeks from today.

 

Personal note: Quite surprising to be an early November release, considering that historically, the last numbered NOW of the year is usually released on the 3rd or 4th Friday (or back in the day, Monday) of November.

 

And the cover art... it's "made of gold". :lol:

That is early! Guess they want to try and maximise the festive sales market by having two extra weeks of pre-Xmas sales.

I really like that molten gold splash artwork!

I really like that molten gold splash artwork!

 

Me too.

 

Shame they are looking to ignore releasing on vinyl again... Think they could be big sellers in that format at the right price.

I’m surprised NOW 104 is being released on 8th November. Earlier than expected. I was expecting it to be released on 22nd November

Wow! Looks like we'll get the tracklist within the next 2 weeks then if it's out the 8th!

Now we have the artwork, I thought i'd do a prediction

This seems very early. But the chart moves so slowly now the tracklist probably wouldn't be that different even if they released a few weeks later. Already started work on my Alternative Now 104, listening to the provisional version right now and will replace the weaker tracks with vastly stronger bangers if/when they are unleashed. Hope they continue to venture out of the Top 40 a bit on the official one. Something tells me Dirty Laundry by Danny Brown won't be on theirs.

Maybe to try and get more Xmas sales.

NOW 100 Hits Party now has a release date of 29th November

And yet no one has posted the artwork yet :o

Another NOW spin-off will be released on the same day as NOW 100 Hits Party titled NOW 100 Hits Forgotten 70s. If they did a NOW 100 Hits 50s and NOW 100 Hits 60s, they could reduce them both down to 4 discs with 25 tracks on each disc seeing as how short songs were back in those decades
