January 19Jan 19 Just had a thought - Queen had a couple of singles in 1998, including a version of Another One Bites The Dust with Wyclef, I wonder if they might have held that back to open the Extra, as clearly it couldn't open the main version as George was there with a bigger hit. As an aside, I realised today that no Yearbook OR Extra has ever opened with anything other than a male act (mainly due to the Queen/George/Wham! thing).

January 23Jan 23 Vault 1980 is due for release on 28th February. I was expecting vault 1982 to be next as I was expecting them to go in the same order that the yearbooks were released but here it is https://www.amazon.co.uk/NOW-Yearbook-VAULT...l/dp/B0DT8VHH96
January 23Jan 23 More jumping around with years. I don't know the majority on here so it will be a good learning curve. Hungry Heart is a very famous song despite charting low, so I guess they are just using the Bruce licence they didn't have when the Yearbooks came out. The Tiswas song is an interesting inclusion.
January 23Jan 23 Maybe the reason why they went back to the 90s for the next yearbook was so that yearbook 1989 wasn’t released too close to the latest vault. I was gutted that 9 To 5 ain’t on there but I know it’s because it charted in 1981 so hopefully, it appears on vault 1981. I’ve also noticed that vault 1980 has some songs that made the top 20. This is brilliant and fingers crossed that they include some top 20 songs on vault 1985-1988 that never made any of the yearbooks between 1985 and 1988 Edited January 23Jan 23 by Hadji

January 26Jan 26 I can see now why the vaults aren’t going in the order that their yearbook counterparts were released. Because if they did, they’d be releasing vaults without completing the final chapter for eg. Vault 1979 would be released before yearbook 1975-1979 so I see what they’re doing. I reckon 1975 and 1976 will be the next 2 70s yearbooks for that reason and once 1989 is released, they can release 1985-1989 then release vaults from the second half of the 80s
February 1Feb 1 Same here and I’ve made a list of the missing songs which will most likely appear on the extra edition and I expect it to be released on 28th March. Next yearbook I reckon will be released on 2nd or 9th May, depending on when they decide to release Now 120 Spice Girls - Goodbye All Saints - Lady Marmalade All Saints - Under The Bridge Aqua - My Oh My Five - When The Lights Go Out Five - Everybody Get Up Five - Until The Time Is Through Boyzone - All That I Need Boyzone - I Love The Way You Love Me Steps - 5,6,7,8 Steps - Heartbeat Robbie Williams - Let Me Entertain You Robbie Williams - No Regrets Jennifer Paige - Crush Stardust - Music Sounds Better With You Ace Of Base - Cruel Summer Ace Of Base - Always Have, Always Will Baddiel, Skinner & The Lightning Seeds - Three Lions '98 Hanson - Weird David Morales presents The Face - Needin' U Sash! - La Primavera Sash! featuring Shannon - Move Mania Oasis - Half The World Away The Tamperer - Feel It The Tamperer - If You Buy This Record Your Life Will Be Better B*Witched - Rollercoaster Peter Andre - Kiss The Girl Billie Piper - Girlfriend Billie Piper - She Wants You Spacedust - Gym And Tonic Savage Garden - To The Moon And Back Savage Garden - Truly Madly Deeply LeAnn Rimes - How Do I Live Mousse T vs Hot 'N' Juicy - Horny Camisra - Let Me Show You Lighthouse Family - High Lighthouse Family - Lost In Space T-Spoon - Sex On The Beach Sham Rock - Tell Me Ma Tin Tin Out featuring Shelley Nelson - Here’s Where The Story Ends Space featuring Cerys Matthews - The Ballad Of Tom Jones Catatonia - Road Rage Texas - Insane Massive Attack - Teardrop Bamboo - Bamboogie Lutricia McNeal - Someone Loves You Honey Cleopatra - Life Ain’t Easy Cleopatra - I Want You Back Karen Ramirez - Looking For Love Mansun - Legacy Touch & Go - Would You…?

February 2Feb 2 I haven't bought one in this series before so had forgot about the extra edition only a few weeks later, my poor wallet :lol:
February 2Feb 2 I have Yearbooks for 83, 84, 85, 86, 87, 88, 92 and 93 so far but haven’t gotten any of the extras yet. I will definitely be doing so for 98 as it’s one of my favourite ever years.
February 3Feb 3 Author It is February, so it seems like as good a time as ever to make a first tracklist prediction for the next volume in the series, Now 120, due for release in the Spring of 2025. As ever, more singles will be released nearer the time that will likely be in contention, but here is what I came up with so far; CD1 1. Gracie Abrams – That’s So True 2. Sabrina Carpenter – Bed Chem 3. Lola Young – Messy 4. Myles Smith – Nice To Meet Ya 5. KSI feat. Trippie Redd – Thick Of It 6. Coldplay feat. Little Simz, Burna Boy, Elyanna & TINI – WE PRAY 7. Teddy Swims – Guilty 8. Billie Eilish – WILDFLOWER 9. Gigi Perez – Sailor Song 10. Sam Fender – People Watching 11. Michael Marcagi – Midwest Kid 12. Tom Grennan – Shadowboxing 13. Franz Ferdinand – Hooked 14. Mumford & Sons – Rushmere 15. Chappell Roan – Pink Pony Club 16. Lady Gaga – Disease 17. Linkin Park – Heavy Is The Crown 18. Charli xcx feat. Ariana Grande – Sympathy is a knife 19. Addison Rae – Diet Pepsi 20. Tate McRae – 2 hands 21. Rudimental feat. Mystic Marley & Flowdan – Ram Pam 22. Aitch & Bou – Raving In The Studio 23. Central Cee feat. 21 Savage – GBP 24. Doechii – DENIAL IS A RIVER 25. Griff – last night’s mascara 26. RAYE – Oscar Winning Tears. CD2 1. ROSÉ & Bruno Mars – APT. 2. Charli xcx feat. Billie Eilish – Guess 3. JADE – IT girl 4. The Weeknd feat. Playboi Carti – Timeless 5. SZA – BMF 6. Tyla – PUSH 2 START 7. Tate McRae – Sports car 8. Chrystal – The Days [NOTION Remix] 9. PAWSA & The Adventures Of Stevie V – Dirty Cash (Money Talks) 10. Sub Focus feat. Katy B – Push The Tempo 11. Jazzy & KILIMANJARO – No Bad Vibes 12. Adam Port, Stryv, Keinemusik, Orso & Malachiii – Move 13. Nimino – I Only Smoke When I Drink 14. Kylie Minogue & YouNotUs – Someone For Me 15. Katy Perry – LIFETIMES 16. Sophie Ellis-Bextor – Freedom Of The Night 17. JADE – Fantasy 18. Perrie – You Go Your Way 19. Ella Henderson – Filthy Rich 20. Mark Ambor – Belong Together 21. Morgan Wallen – Love Somebody 22. Alex Warren – Burning Down 23. Sam Barber feat. Avery Anna – Indigo 24. The Cure – A Fragile Thing 25. Robbie Williams – Forbidden Road (from ‘Better Man’ Original Soundtrack) 26. Liam Payne – Teardrops I suspect around 40% of these tracks will be cut closer to the release date, and I will no doubt make another prediciton in due course.
February 3Feb 3 They’ll also include some of the hits that missed Now 119 and I hope it gets released on 11th April. Releasing it on 25th April seems too late for a spring Now
February 3Feb 3 Such as... Adam Port & Stryv - Move Gigi Perez - Sailor Song Mark Ambor - Belong Together Post Malone featuring Luke Combs - Guy For That Charli XCX had loads of hits in between Now 118 and Now 119 and they all missed out Some of the songs in the prediction should’ve been on Now 119 As the summer and autumn Nows have set release dates, the spring Nows should also have a set release date of either last Friday in March or first Friday in April instead of being shuffled all over the place Edited February 3Feb 3 by Hadji
February 3Feb 3 Author Shaboozey an outside possibility too. Lady Gaga's upcoming single Abracadabra should be saved for Now 121 so Disease gets its chance.
February 3Feb 3 Shaboozey an outside possibility too. Lady Gaga's upcoming single Abracadabra should be saved for Now 121 so Disease gets its chance. I’ll be surprised if Shaboozey appears considering he should’ve been on Now 118 but saying that, some songs have been delayed to 3 Nows later instead of 2 and I reckon they could include Disease and save Abracadabra for Now 121. If Disease didn’t make the top 40 at all, they’d have most likely skipped straight to Abracadabra Edited February 3Feb 3 by Hadji
February 3Feb 3 Whilst I love IT GIRL and would love for it to appear on NOW 120 it's only a buzz single (apparently). But yes to Fantasy being added! And I also hope Sophie appears with "Freedom Of The Night". It was a fun little bop that deserves some more recognition. I was worried about APT. making it due to it being a K-Pop Girlie, and a lot of the K-Pop stars haven't appeared. BTS only appeared once with Coldplay - on Coldplay's label, and FIFTY FITY are the only other K-Pop band to appear. But the latest Bravo Hits album does have it, so maybe 120 will get APT as well. I do wonder if Charli will appear, as I don't see her on other chart comps across Europe. If she does maybe we'll just get Apple? Could be hard to license "Guess" with Billie.
February 4Feb 4 Now Gold The Ultimate Hits due for release on 14th March. No tracklist yet and I reckon it will be similar to the 2021 version so it’ll be most likely one of their pointless spin-offs https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DVKX42D7
February 4Feb 4 How thrilling. I think these albums tend to hang around in the compilation charts for a while (certainly the Timeless one did), so I'm not surprised that they keep pumping variations of them out.
