Nothing wrong with the album, just wonder why the cover is bad. In between exquisite covers like Now 53 and Now 55 makes it so jarring.

I do agree that the Now 54 artwork is possibly one of the worst in the series, especially on the CD. It doesn't look as bad on the cassette version.

Here's my Now 17. The pixelated logo on the original I have tried to recreate.

Here's my Now 18, probably the one I like the most out of the lot I made.

It’s weird ‘cos the digital artwork is less zoomed in. It’s suppose to be a speaker system right?

I’ve never been a fan of 52’s artwork. It doesn’t scream summer to me.

I’ve started to upload my versions of Now 10-19 onto YouTube.

Now 12

Seeing these are fabulous, and makes me realise how little Kylie appeared pre-2000. Those PWL compilations really took away a lot of banging tracks from her.

For my Now 12, I’d have replaced I Think We’re Alone Now with I Saw Him Standing There and place the former on Now 11

I have also made tracklists for Now albums what they would’ve looked like If the Hits series and the two Out Now albums never came along and Now had always released three albums a year since release, I reckon it would have looked something like this:

First impressions are it looks like a decent effort, but here are the ommisions for context;

HUNTR/X EJAE, AUDREY NUNA, REI AMI, Kpop Demon Hunters Cast – Golden {1}

Taylor Swift – The Fate Of Ophelia {1}

Tate McRae – Just Keep Watching {6}

Tate McRae – Tit For Tat {6}

sombr – 12 to 12 {7}

MOLIY & Silent Addy – Shake It To The Max (FLY) {12}

Tyla – IS IT

Sugababes – Shook

Florence + The Machine – Everybody Scream

Richard Ashcroft – Lovin' You

Biffy Clyro – Hunting Season

Hayley Williams – Parachute

Confidence Man & JADE – gossip

MK & Clementine Douglas – Come Find Me

Nathan Dawe & Shayan – Over You

Joel Corry & Aby Flynn – Phases

Louis Tomlinson – Lemonade

Blue – One Last Time

Gary Barlow & Becky Hill – Don't Look Down

Diana Vickers – Ice Cream

Overall no real surprises with those omissions, and not too many which we will look back on as major oversights, though it is intriguing we get two Lola Young songs and neither of them are d£aler which Elton John called the song "the biggest smash I’ve heard in years."

Not too much to suggest will be remembered by the time of the next release, so I guess it's fairly represented for what we have had released these last few months.

Away from the HUNTR/X and Taylor shaped holes, five #1s ('Man I Need', 'Survive', 'The Subway', 'DAISIES' and 'Dior') seems like a decent haul on one volume nowadays. It did feel like there was a more exciting turnover at the top for a little while, so good to see that reflected.

Elsewhere... happy to see Addison making another edition of course! 💖 although 'The Subway' does pip her this time as my favourite.

The tracklist is fine, but I cannot believe they omitted 12 To 12 as Sombr had two appearances in the previous edition. The y could have easily dropped that Bon Jovi song for it.

Also a pity that they did not sign "Golden" as this was the biggest hit accross the last three months. Fate Of Ophelia is very recent and I don't miss it here. The Tate McRae songs are always very late on the NOW's.
