I don’t mind Another Love again, it was nearly a decade ago now, to me it’s a bit like Mysterious Girl being on Now 34 and Now 57. It’s fair enough as it essentially has been a hit all over again, just not to the same scale.

 

I'd argue 'Another Love' is a bigger hit this time than it was first time around albeit with a slightly lower peak! (unless you meant not on the same scale as Peter Andre)

It’s vaguely amusing that Another Love has roughly the same placing on this as it did on Now 85.

 

Just noticed P!NK has suddenly become capitalised on this one.

Yeah that is what I meant!

 

I agree that Another Love is bigger and more well known this time than it was in 2013.

I've noticed that there's loads of songs on there which should've been on NOW 112 and one song on there which should've been on NOW 111. Anyway, i've made a list of songs which missed NOW 113 and could possibly appear on NOW 114 next year

 

Joel Corry & Tom Grennan - Lionheart (Fearless)

Nathan Dawe & Talia Mar - Sweet Lies

Sam Fender - Wild Grey Ocean

Oliver Tree & Robin Schulz - Miss You

Venbee & Goddard - Messy In Heaven

Rema & Selena Gomez - Calm Down

Southstar - Miss You

D4vd - Romantic Homicide

Dean Lewis - How Do I Say Goodbye

I've noticed that there's loads of songs on there which should've been on NOW 112 and one song on there which should've been on NOW 111.

Which is the one that should have been on Now 111? Fireboy DML? I think that should have been on the Summer volume really but I guess it was an issue with getting the licence whilst it was still inside the Top 40.

 

I guess only Steve Lacy and Post Malone that made the US Now 84 (posted on the previous page of this thread) made this volume then. No room for Joji, Doja Cat and Nicky Youre.

 

At this very early stage I would only anticipate seeing that Joel Corry song feature on the next volume, I think it would be a stretch to include anything else that has already been released. I don’t think we will get a version of Miss You by then either unless it’s still blowing up by January which seems unlikely.

I hope that if they do intend on including Harry Styles on NOW 114, that they include MFASR or LNT but definitely not AIW

Is Ed having four songs on one NOW album a record?

I think it would have happened with AIW if Harry’s ever going to be on one again tbh

Is Ed having four songs on one NOW album a record?

Yes it is. That’s the first time I’ve seen an artist with a quadruple appearance on a numbered NOW

I think it would have happened with AIW if Harry’s ever going to be on one again tbh

AIW will be celebrating its 1st birthday on the day that NOW 114 gets released which will most likely be 31st March

NOW THAT'S WHAT I CALL MUSIC 113

Released 18th November 2022

Yes it is. That’s the first time I’ve seen an artist with a quadruple appearance on a numbered NOW

They should just call it 'Now that's what I call Ed Sheeran'

I also remember Rihanna being the first artist to get a triple appearance on a numbered NOW with NOW 78. At the time, it was a big deal as that thing never happened before but now, it’s becoming very common for artists to get a triple appearance on a numbered NOW

I don’t see the point in this spin-off which is due for release on 2nd December. I seen it also has "Fresh" by Kool & The Gang which should be on NOW Yearbook Extra 1985 instead when that gets released. Still no Dolly Parton - 9 To 5 either https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BL25NV95/

I think it's a good release. It mops up a lot of the songs that they couldn't fit on the previous Yearbooks and Extras. I guess you could make the argument though that the Extras should have had four discs each too in the first place to fit most of these on.

 

Fresh reached its chart peak right at the end of 1984 so I think it's fair to include it on here.

You’re right. I always thought "Fresh" came out in 1985 as it does appear on a few 1985 compilations such as Out Now 1 and Greatest Hits Of 1985. Instead of doing it as a yearbook and extras, it would’ve saved a lot of money for them as doing it as a 100 Hits series for example NOW 100 Hits 1983. A better idea for 1980-1984 is that they should’ve made it 5 discs with disc 1 being 1980 and disc 2 being 1981 and so forth

It seems like both the 2021 and 2022 version of NOW Christmas have charted separately on the compilation chart with the 2022 version debuting at #2. I reckon it would’ve got #1 if sales for both versions were combined

Well they are different albums, so I don’t think they should be combined.

On NOW Massive 80s Party, it has the original edit of "Tarzan Boy" which you very rarely hear. I wish they included that edit on the NOW 6 CD like they did on the vinyl edition

Looks like this is the next NOW release https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BNKB4VN3 looks like they have forgotten to announce NOW Yearbook Extra 1985. That should’ve been due for release on 16th December but it seems they’ve forgot. Also, NOW Yearbook 1985 seems to have been removed from iTunes for some unknown reason
