I hope it is included because it’s Kate Bush. No other reason required.

It depends if she licenses her songs to albums. Her 70s songs seem to appear on compilations but her 80s songs don’t. And I don’t like when they repeat a song from before when they can use a different song. And besides, people complained about the TB tracks on 102-104 because it was reusing songs from past volumes

I reckon there will be a few more “Radio 2” tracks on the end.

Out of all the artists who have recently had a #1 album, I can’t see Wet Leg, Blossoms or Arcade Fire being included. I can see Liam Gallagher and Sam Fender being included and Florence as a maybe. Steps have a new album released in August and they appeared on 108 and 110 so there’s a possibility for them. Kylie has a new single with Gloria Gaynor so I can see her being included as she seems to be a NOW favourite

Edited by Hadji

Tbh I can see ‘Chaise Longue’ by Wet Leg being on there actually. Not that I’d consider them to be Radio 2 of course :lol:

 

“Album artists” probably is the best way to describe them actually, as Sam Fender isn’t really either.

That came out last year. If they were to be included, it would more likely be "Ur Mum" as that’s their latest single and I hope they don’t include too many album artists

It was pushed again in March though, and only left Radio 1’s playlist a couple of weeks ago - so it would make sense for either to be on there I think. But I’d lean towards CL.
I reckon we will have the NOW 112 tracklist by the end of the month or no later than 5th July
It'd be nice to see another Eurovision song appear on the NOWs. The last one (I think) was 10 years ago on 82.

Sam Ryder’s Eurovision entry will be a strong contender for NOW 112

Which means that next week, they might announce NOW 112. If not, they’ll definitely announce it the week after and announce the re-release of NOW 12 on CD next week. It will be interesting to see which songs have been removed. These Dreams by Heart only appeared on the compilation 80s Rock Down which was released last year. Barracuda appears a lot on compilations so I don’t get why their 80s songs don’t appear anymore

Edited by Hadji

Listening to Now Pride and I've never heard that Ricky Martin song. It's a bop though and it really reminds me of something The Wanted would've released around 2011-2013.

A few missing songs from NOW Yearbook 1980 which I hope make it onto NOW Yearbook Extra 1980

 

Peter Gabriel - Games Without Frontiers

Split Enz - I Got You

Blondie - Call Me

Ottawan - D.I.S.C.O

Don McLean - Crying

Fern Kinney - Together We Are Beautiful

Stevie Wonder - Master Blaster

Olivia Newton-John & Electric Light Orchestra - Xanadu

Kenny Rogers - Coward Of The County

Dolly Parton - 9 To 5

Juice Newton - Queen Of Hearts

Madness - Embarrassment

The Cure - A Forest

Robert Palmer - Johnny & Mary

Yarbrough & Peoples - Don’t Stop The Music

Junior Murvin - Police And Thieves

According to Amazon, NOW 12 is being re-released on 29th July with only Phil Collins being removed. I’m thinking why remove "Alone" from NOW 10 but keep "These Dreams" on NOW 12? Also, I hope the release date is wrong and it gets released on 22nd July

Edited by Hadji

Why that late? I thought they’d be releasing that along with NOW 112 on 22nd July. It’s pretty late for a summer NOW. Every summer NOW since 2015 has been released on the second to last Friday of July

 

NOW 91 24th July 2015

NOW 94 22nd July 2016

NOW 97 21st July 2017

NOW 100 20th July 2018

NOW 103 19th July 2019

NOW 106 24th July 2020

NOW 109 23rd July 2021

???NOW 112 29th July 2022???

 

It seems out of place with a last Friday of July release

Edited by Hadji

So Now 12 is only one skk ok my away from being the same tracklisting as the original if it weren’t for the missing Phil Collins.

I’m surprised Heart are still on there seeing as they were removed from NOW 10
