Surprised to see Ed make it with one of his Number 1's. They haven't had an Ed Number 1 on a Now since 'Thinking Out Loud' so that's nice to see.

 

Happy to see Riton & Oliver Heldans, Becky Hill, double Tiesto and Sigala make it. I'm surpried not to see the new Jonas Blue track make it and would of liked to see Meduza, but I guess that can wait until 105.

Yass at I Could Get Used To This <3

 

Good to see Ed commissioning a No.1 single. Also glad to see they've settled into including the biggest grime hits, rather than just ignoring the genre altogether like on 102. The ones that go top ten have definitely crossed over enough to warrant a place on here.

 

Lmao at Colin Thackery...! A classic winter Now random ultra-MOR inclusion.

 

Nice to see DJ Spoony too but I'd have preferred Flowers.

To be fair, Colin Thackery has an album out on December 6th which I can see doing quite well.

Slide Away, Doin’ Time, Summer Girl and I Would Get Used to This woooo

I’d have preferred if they included the remix of TMBTL as that was what took the song to #1

Happy Colin Thackery is included. He has to be one of the best new artists to come out this year if not this decade. The Wind Beneath My Wings is an absolute banger.

Yeah but it was never the more popular version, more people will know the original.

I presume Lewis Capaldi will be track 1 on Disc 2.

Unusual choice of TB tracks too apart from TIED. I was expecting Elton John to be one of the TB tracks due to Rocketman

That looks like a promising tracklist, it's an improvement over the last few having more actual hits (I count six that didn't go top 100, and only a few of those are WTF additions (Colin Thackery really? and Movin Too Fast over Flowers is odd but I guess Now will use any excuse to put Paloma Faith on)).

Good to see a fair few dance and hip hop tracks this time as I was worrying they'd go further into the MOR market. Becky Hill is a welcome surprise particularly.

Not impressed with the throwbacks again, I don't even know of the UB40 or Level 42 tracks - but at least they included Together In Electric Dreams. I suppose they're not exactly detracting from the main compilation though seeing as they can fit 42 current songs on as well.

Great to see Ritual and I Could Get Used To This make it as I had my doubts

 

Omissions include: Goodbyes, Hate Me and the new one from Harry Styles

 

Castles too - but Lost Without You should have been on 101 and was included late on 102. Slim chance on 105?

 

This Is Real - hopefully saved for 105 although interestingly Ella is included on the Sigala track which isn't even out yet

 

Don't Call Me Angel - film soundtracks are a bit difficult to license so makes sense. All three are included anyway.

 

 

I won't be buying it. I stopped earlier this year at 102, very soon after joining this site! I don't like the Disc 2 set up. Instead, I take the years' tracklists and squash into two albums - feels like a proper NOW album then.

LMAO at Camila and Normani being together

No Lauv considering he licenses his tracks to compilations

I presume Lewis Capaldi will be track 1 on Disc 2.

He is. They tweeted it on their twitter

HAIM :o Lana :o the Now team serving up some taste

 

much as the throwback songs are pointless filler, Shout To The Top is a great pick <3

Is Colin Thackery the oldest person to ever appear on a Now album? :thinking: he's 89!

Not Celine Dion getting that second ever appearance!

 

Was still holding out for Dido though. Oh well.

Wait... WHAT?! This is only her 2nd appearance!? WTH

I wonder what the Now 104 throwback tracks will be on Now 204? Maybe Dance Monkey, Higher Love, Take Me Back To London and How Do You Sleep? Seriously, there's hardly anything on there which screams out future classic.
