I reckon it will be DYKTTATUOB and I’m wondering if Lewis will kick off disc 1 seeing as his name is at the top left but saying that, they don’t tend to kick off with the same artist for two NOWs in a row lately hence why Calvin Harris didn’t kick off 101 and Olivia Rodrigo didn’t kick off 109 as they both kicked off the predecessors

It could be RAYE and 070 Shake if Miley's not going to be on it.

 

We Don't Talk About Bruno kicked off disc 1 on NOW 111 but listed at the bottom on the front cover.

Just call it ‘Ocean blvd’ lol

I like the artwork! Nice to see something different.

They could do with changing the colour of the NOW logo instead of having it white all the time. We ain’t had a coloured logo since NOW 105

I’m surprised it’s being released on 14th April as they normally release the spring NOWs before Easter

Oh wow, I actually know everything on there due to a combination of following the chart (down to 100) and listening to Radio 2 more :lol:

 

Happy to see Lana making it :wub:

Lana seems to be a NOW favourite. I was expecting P!nk’s recent song or both instead of her previous song. At least her recent song should appear on 115 and no Sigala considering he’s released two songs inbetween 113 and 114 and seems to be another NOW favourite

The sequencing on Now 114 is so odd, Lewis kicking it off again with that song, which spent one week in the top ten due to CDs, then P!nk's No.19 hit above five huge hits, including the big No.1 Escapism that is only track 5? Then Sam Smith starting Disc 2?

 

I guess the audience they are selling to is very collectors and Radio 2 now, hence the odd order and that closing run on the second disc. Must be some time since Simply Red last appeared.

I am glad that they got Help! by Bananarama for Now 14 though, I don't have that on CD and not seen it on any compilation that didn't come out at the time. Sequencing Stop! and Help! back to back as well - never realised that before :lol:

 

Shame about the Phil Collins and INXS omissions, but they can't help that.

Pointless and Escapism. should've swapped places.

Must be some time since Simply Red last appeared.

Indeed. Now 33 (1996) with Never Never Love. Also first appearance from Shania Twain since Now 46 (2000) with Don’t Be Stupid (You Know I Love You) and Sub Focus since Now 87 (2013) with Turn Back Time.

 

Will also be the first volume in the series to feature Miguel (as a lead artist), Lizzy McAlpine, Oliver Tree, d4vd, Beabadoobee (as a lead artist), Rema, Coi Leray, Metro Boomin, Libianca, Caity Baser, Mae Stephens, venbee, Switch Disco, Adam Lambert, CHVRCHES (as a lead artist) and Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds. So lots of new faces this edition.

Pointless and Escapism. should've swapped places.

 

Yeah, on Disc 1 I'd have lead with Raye then PinkPantheress, and pushed Lewis and P!nk down to tracks 6 and 7, then on Disc 2 I'd have just swapped the positions of Sam Smith and venbee x goddard, but I guess they felt they wanted a big name to lead each disc.

 

The sequencing is completely bizarre but they've done a good job getting all of the big hits. Miley is probably too expensive to license atm and Taylor and Rihanna never give Now their songs anymore. It's probably too early for Calvin and Ellie as that will have long chart legs as the weather warms up.
