Yesterday at 10:481 day If you were in charge of the Now series, what would you change? For me, I’d actually focus on the charts when it comes to the numbered series and use songs from the sales chart, dance chart, r&b chart and a few from the r2 playlist as filler and make sure the disc are filled up. There’d be no pointless spin-offs unless it’s something that hasn’t been done and use songs that never or rarely appear or replace the pointless spin-offs with eras. For the yearbooks, there’ll be no flops on the main or extra editions. They’ll be saved for the vaults and the 90s-10s will be covered more often and do yearbooks for the 00s and 10s too Edited yesterday at 10:511 day by Hadji

You'd have to find some income from somewhere.

You'd have to find some income from somewhere.Income from the numbered series, anything yearbook related, 12" 80s, eras etc. I’d only do pointless spin-offs if it’s something that hasn’t been done and definitely use more songs that haven’t been on yearbooks. The yearbooks seem to have rendered the other albums pointless. The pointless albums are dwindling in sales because people are getting fed up of the same songs being used Edited yesterday at 11:041 day by Hadji

I expect they're probably lucky to break even now, hence the tracklists getting worse and slimmer with each new release. They'd have to up the prices to £20 to improve them at this point I think.Within the realms of what they can probably do with the budget they have, I'm not sure what I'd change, but I'd ditch spin-offs unless at least 50% of songs hadn't been used before. The new 80s summer is a complete waste of money for any collector and clearly aimed at the casual market.
6 hours ago6 hr Looks pretty strong for an Extra, lots of classics on there. A timely triple MJ appearance (counting the Jackson 5 song).
6 hours ago6 hr Someone said they wanted it to release a bit earlier? I hate to be the one to tell you, but it’s out on 19 June.

I hate to be the one to tell you, but it’s out on 19 June.They should’ve released it earlier and that means we should be getting the next 90s yearbook on 10th July. 27th June last year, we were on the 3rd yearbook but this year, they’re only announcing the extra edition of the 2nd yearbook. If anything, they should speed the yearbooks up, not slow them down

6 hours ago6 hr At least we know T Rex are licensable. They picked the wrong Roberta Flack song though. They should’ve picked The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

2 hours ago2 hr Another thing I wanted to say was, I was expecting Tiny Dancer by Elton John to be on Yearbook 1971, but why Yearbook Extra 1972?

1 hour ago1 hr I thought it wasn't a single in the UK at all at the time hence it not charting at the time? They must be going by the US release/peak date. Edited 1 hour ago1 hr by gooddelta
