Got to expect that there should be room made for Wet Leg after their Brits performance tonight. Also think there’s a case for Lizzo, Shania Twain and maybe, just maybe, a long overdue appearance by Harry Styles.

Also if you only had enough disc space for either Sugababes or S Club 7 which would you pick? :thinking:

Depends which song of theirs and whether it’s already made an appearance or not

I went and did a food shop today at my local Asda and they had NOW Dance - The 80s stocked up

With P!nk having two songs on course for top 20, I wonder if they’ll include Trustfall only on NOW 114 and give NGNDA a miss, include both songs on NOW 114 or include NGNDA on NOW 114 and save Trustfall for NOW 115?

Hopefully include both!

Same. I reckon they’ll either include both or use NGNDA on 114 and save Trustfall for 115. I just hope they don’t skip NGNDA and just go straight to Trustfall

They’ve included double Pink twice before on Now 84 and Now 109 so hopefully they will again.

One of P!nk’s appearances on NOW 109 was technically a featured appearance but artists do tend to get double appearances as lead artists on spring NOWs so I reckon she will get a double appearance on 114

Yeah P!nk is a staple of the Now series in recent years and they’ve included many of less much less commercial releases on their discs so they will no doubt include both of these.

 

It will be interesting (for me at least) to see which “Radio 2” artists they will go for this time. I genuinely think Shania Twain will feature, and maybe Freya Ridings, Olly Murs, Sugababes and really hoping for Wet Leg after their Brits performance and awards collected!

I might just be reading that wrong, but Wet Leg certainly aren’t “Radio 2” artists!

I’m expecting Lana Del Rey to appear but with DYKTTATUOB instead of A&M as the latter is too long. Other album artists I expect to appear are of course Shania Twain, Freya Ridings and Ellie Goulding. I also hope that they include the Ariana Grande version of Die For You on NOW 114 instead of the solo version. It’s been over two weeks since a new NOW spin-off was announced and it looks like NOW 60s Pop will be the last spin-off pre-NOW 114 as I can’t see NOW Yearbook Extra 1986 being released next month

I wouldn't be surprised if we get NOW Dance - The 90s at some point comprising a compilation of early 90s NOW dance albums like they did with Now Dance - The 80s

I doubt it, we got Now 90s Dancefloor barely 6 months ago

It looks like NOW 60s Pop is the last spin-off pre-NOW 114. I can see it NOW 114 being announced on 7th March with a release date of 31st March and NOW Yearbook Extra 1986 being announced on 14th March with a release date of 14th April. I hope they reveal the NOW 114 artwork this week with the names of artists who are certain to appear with the track list to follow next week

Some of those names just aren’t going to appear in any of this series I feel. You can add their names to the likes of David Bowie, Michael Jackson and Madonna in most cases.

It's so odd that 'Chain Reaction' hasn't been added to the 86 Yearbook, Extra, or even the NOW Dance - 80s albums.
