Nothing But Thieves! *.* Would rather it was 'Overcome' but 'Welcome To The DCC' is still a nice addition!

 

LorQueen's 2nd appearance on a NOW album! YAAASSS. Looks like I'll be buying this one <3 Great to see Leigh on there. I'm still hopeful it can climb back up the charts a little (we'll see though ofc)

We love to see 'Cha Cha Cha' and 'Queen Of Kings' making it on there (weird placements for them but whatever).

 

Genuinely completely forgot Maroon 5 released a song recently.

Middle Ground doesn’t seem to have had much of a push, perhaps it’s not an “actual” single? They’re not even performing it on their current tour which is strange!

All four of the Eurovision top 10s making the track list *.* plus a further appearance from Mae and one from Sam Ryder too.

When Now 16 gets re-released towards Christmas along with Now 116, I hope they include all 35 tracks on there. I can’t see any songs getting removed from there. I also noticed that Now 115 is being anti-urban again

I hope Now 116 starts including urban again and they don’t go anti-urban with that one either. Them being anti-urban is the reason why Stormzy and J Hus aren’t on there when they usually are

Belinda Carlisle on a current Now album :wub:

Nice to see Tina Turner being included at the end as a tribute but I do reckon that they should’ve included "Proud Mary" instead of "The Best" seeing as the latter is already on Now 16 which will also be re-released towards Christmas. They also did this with George Michael on Now 96. Including a song of his which had already appeared on a numbered Now

I think it's a sensible choice, it's her signature song, arguably, and recharted the highest a few weeks ago.

 

I also suspect some of the UK rap songs might turn up on the next edition as the artists maybe didn't want to license them yet (Stormzy might be skipped as it's not even looking like being a top ten hit).

"The Best" might be her signature tune and just because "Proud Mary" wasn’t a top 40 hit, it doesn’t mean that it’s unpopular. It is her tune that gets people going in parties and nightclubs etc. "Proud Mary" is more known and popular than most songs that have made the top 40. I knew Dave would miss out as he never appears on compilations for some unknown reason but I don’t understand the need for them to snub Hannah Laing and Peggy Gou especially when both their hits are set to be big

Now The 80s USA due for release on 11th August. I wondered why there are loads of British artists on there but then the subtitle explains that it’s songs which charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 80s but here’s the track list https://www.amazon.co.uk/NOW-Thats-What-Cal.../dp/B0C7JQ7J8Z/

Interesting concept, with some songs that aren't usually compiled in the UK (as they weren't hits here).

Now The 80s USA sue for release on 11th August. I wondered why there are loads of British artists on there but then the subtitle explains that it’s songs which charted on the Billboard Hot 100 in the 80s but here’s the track list https://www.amazon.co.uk/NOW-Thats-What-Cal.../dp/B0C7JQ7J8Z/

When will such effort be put into making endless 90's and 00's compilations until we are sick to death of the decade...

We need more 90s and 00s but on the plus side, it seems that the boss has backtracked and done an Ed Sheeran by allowing his music to appear again on compilations and I just wish that other artists would do the same

Sony bought Bruce Springsteen's catalogue recently, so they've probably green lighted his licensing for compilations.

That’s good. We’ll hopefully be seeing more of him on compilations. With Rod Stewart, it’s strange that his 70s songs appear on compilations but his 80s songs don’t

but I don’t understand the need for them to snub Hannah Laing and Peggy Gou especially when both their hits are set to be big

 

They will be on 116 no question. The fact that 'Flowers' has only just made it when it came out in January shows that.

Is that tracklist for real?! Leading with a flop Bebe Rexha song? :lol:

I can't believe that Amazon still hasn't fixed the tracklist. They are losing sales! :drama:

Flowers would’ve been on 114 if it got knocked off #1 sooner or didn’t go #1 at all. With Peggy Gou and Hannah Laing, you’d think that they’d be included on 115 instead of picking random songs out of the hat because they decided to be anti-urban for this edition. And for those wondering about J Hus, Weeknd and Stormzy’s absences from this album, it’s not licensing, it’s that they’re being anti-urban. I just hope they don’t go anti-urban for 116
