I’m curious, and this may seem a while out if it does happen but, do you think they’ll do the 60’s? It could really make the Yearbook collection worth something if they expand into that decade.

I’d rather they expand into the 00s as it’s rarely ever done and if they dug deeper into the 00s, you’d be surprised what you find on there

Would they bother with the 00s considering the millennium series has only just finished?

They might once the 70s and 90s are finished. The millennium series shouldn’t have happened as it only had 2 discs per year and songs that everyone knows. Even if they did a 00s spin-off, it will only include songs that appeared on the millennium series

I was about to rant about Suzanne Vega but then listened to the song as I didn't know it and it's great, ha. Still, a No.40 one week hit is scraping a bit, it makes me wonder if they will even do The Vault series for the 90s or if it's just an 80s concern.

Reminds me of JK and Joel on the chart show in 2005 when they skipped Ian McNabb then remarked "actually that's not too bad"

I surprised they haven't done albums for the 10s yet.

I think Now 100 Hits Decade 2010s was the last in 2020? I would definitely welcome some specific albums for the individual years

I would like to see Now Decade 2010-2011 etc. like what they did for the Now Millennium series.

I’d rather they just did yearbooks and why did they stop the 100 hits series? I quite liked it and they were doing well. I reckon if they carried it on into 2021, we could’ve been seeing Now 100 Hits 1983, 1984 etc

That's quite far below the allocated time for each disc. Easily room for more songs by Doechii, PinkPantheress, WizTheMC, Miley Cyrus, Tom Grennan and Jorja Smith.

They could have at least included 4 more songs. I’d have added MK, Doechii, MOLIY and WizTheMC

All solid choices. Surely the MK song is bound to make Now 122. Much less convinced for the others.

If MK’s label didn’t want the song on Now 121 because it was a contender for number 1, it wouldn’t have made a difference. Now 120 didn’t stop Ordinary from getting 13 weeks at number 1. I’d have also included Damocles as it went top 40 and its parent album went number 1

Probably the reason ANXIETY isn't on here is due to the sample of Somebody That I Use To Know which hasn't appeared on a Now album since Now 81 (I think?).

Edited July 7Jul 7 by IdentFan101

Miley always has a delayed appearance on the Numbered NOWs, so I hope one of her singles appears on 122. My pick would be "Walk of Fame" (obviously the Edit).

Based on the latest NOW, Universal could easily pump out a Pop Princesses album.

I would appreciate it if they did the 00s properly, these years deserve a deeper dive and some of the Millennium choices were very random.

I have bought all the Yearbooks so far aside from 1997 and 1998 because there are too many important omissions and they were hardly my favourite years anyway. I COULD end my collection at 1994 or 1995 but let's face it, I'll probably get the standard editions if/when they're cheaper.

Just happy to have finally completed the 80s!

This is rumoured to be the next spin-off. I reckon it will be released on 15th or 22nd August. I’m surprised Beats International are on there seeing as it was removed from the Now 17 reissue

Can get on board with that considering the names on the front cover there

What a random choice of year spans over two decades. Most collectors will already own the big hits from all those artists anyway. Just another rinse and repeat project.

Seems they’re covering dance classics from that era. Seems okay, but I think all those artists mentioned have appeared on other NOW albums.
