It’s an improvement on Now 123 but still no RAYE. For Ella Langley, odd choice. I thought they’d have gone with Be Her. Hopefully they save that for Now 125. I’m hoping we get Olivia Rodrigo’s other two songs on there too but there’s a lack of dance music and urban music on this album

How many rap hits are there to miss these days though?

I don't think it's much of a surprise the main genres missing are ones that don't typically sell loads of physical albums though.

    Perhaps they’re scared to announce it because of your scathing iTunes reviews.

    It’s like you completely ignored everything I had to say. It’s wild that I was told this by someone in the music industry and you’re just like “no” who probably has no experience in the field whatsoev

Some other thoughts:

When was Paul McCartney's last appearance as a lead artist on a Now album?

4 country songs must be the most for quite some time?

It looks better than the last one at least. Expected Bangaranga but never mind. At least it has some No.1s and also Bruno/Alex after they missed the last edition.

I do like that they have included the retro songs not previously on a Now (Justin, Chemicals), rather than ignoring retro completely.

RAYE, F3miii and Aitch are missing from the urban and as for dance, ANOTR, Silva Bumpa and Prospa are missing

I think Now 67 was his last appearance and he also closed Now 24

Bravo Hits 134 tracklist is also out to compare. This is out 7th August in Germany. Strangely no DARA on here either despite it going to No.1 in Germany, so might have been a licensing thing. I've bolded the stuff they could have used, some might appear on Now 125 instead.

No improvement whatsoever on this. When will they ever learn?!

Plus, 'I Just Might' should've been on 123.

Which I'm not even happy about, not gonna lie.

Funnily enough Now 67 is the last time both Chemical Brothers and Paul McCartney appeared in the series!

'Do It Again' and 'Dance Tonight' respectively. A particularly nostalgic volume for me as I got it for my birthday that summer along with my first iPod *.*

sombr now following Harry, Taylor, Eminem and others by not licensing his tracks to Now.

Despite being owned by Warner.

Edited by IdentFan101

I’m hoping Kylie & Snow Patrol appear on Now 125 with These Alarms. I’ll be surprised if they don’t seeing as they’re both Now favourites and strange of Sombr who’s quite a new artist to decide to stop licensing his tracks. I hope RAYE and Charli XCX haven’t done the same

also:

December 10 - Infinity (123)

Ellie Goulding - Black Prada Dress

Olivia Rodrigo - the cure

all of these could be 125, alongside ‘Dai Dai’. also ‘Eurosummer - Girls Trip’ isn't a single.

I’m hoping for both Olivia Rodrigo songs because Stupid Song will be old by April next year when they’ll most likely release Now 126

Edited by Hadji

I’m glad that Beauty And A Beat and Go are included and not just thrown at the bottom of the disc like most older songs are nowadays.

When it comes to old songs that re-enter, I’m happy for them to appear as long as they haven’t already appeared. Shame they ignored Oasis completely from Now 122 when some of their old songs charted for the first time

I noticed that we were also close to having 2 entirely different songs with the exact same name. Noah Kahan and Conan Gray have Doors and Door, respectively. No Eurovision winner or UK entry either like they normally do on the summer editions

Edited by Hadji

My main critcism of this NOW is the short running time. They should not be thatlazy and search out for decent Pop-BOP's - they just have to register an account at Buzzjack and can find a lot of great stuff to include:

Kesha - Origami

Kim Petras - Need For Speed

Illit - It's Me

Blackpink - Go

Tiffany Day - Same LA

Charlotte McInnes - Struck

Aespa - Lemonade

XG - Hypnotize

Lily Allen, Jade - Beg For Me

Lykke Li - Knife In The Heart

Jungle - Carry On, The Wave

Hemlocke Springs - Be The Girl!

Lizzo - Don't Make Me Luv U

Anne Hathaway - My Mouth Is Lonely For You

Angele - What You Want

Slayyyter - Dance ...

Fcukers - I Like It Like That

Mette - Coming Of Age

Anyma, Lisa - Bad Angel

Horsegiirl - Only The Best

Cobrah - Dog

Nowadays you cannot have only hits on the CD's as there aren't enough, so they have to dive deeper. They definitely takethe opportunity to ask the Buzzjack community 😁
