If Now can fill the discs up on the yearbooks, extras, vaults, 12" 80s, eras, pointless/casual spin-offs etc, surely they can fill the discs up on the numbered series and as for the numbered series, they’re catering more to the collectors market than the casual market because the collectors will buy it regardless of the tracklist but the casual buyer will look at the tracklist and think that they hardly know any of the songs and won’t want to buy it. If anything, they should cater to both sides equally when it comes to the numbered series

This would be my dance version of 124

It costs money to fill the discs up by licesnsing the tracks to fill them up with and given the volumes they are likely to sell it will affect the bottom line. I should imagine it costs a lot more to license newer songs than it does older songs for the Yearbook series.

Must also be a cost issue for them not to be able to release these on vinyl to maximise the sales? Surely there is a good market for modern Now's to be available on Vinyl, even if its out a few weeks after the CD version. It may help bring people who have stopped buying the series back too as its an opportunity of getting the latest hits on Vinyl without buying the artist albums.

I’m hoping that when the 1970 yearbook is released that they include songs that charted in 1969 but peaked in 1970 and here’s a few prime examples

Blue Mink - Melting Pot

Cufflinks - Tracy

Bobbie Gentry & Glen Campbell - All I Have To Do Is Dream

Elvis Presley - Suspicious Minds

The Dave Clark Five - Good Old Rock 'N' Roll

Roger Whittaker - Durham Town

Marmalade - Reflections Of My Life

Jim Reeves - But You Love Me Daddy

Delaney & Bonnie & Friends - Comin’ Home

Cilla Black - If I Thought You’d Ever Change Your Mind

The Supremes - Someday We’ll Be Together

It makes me wonder if they’ll be included on yearbook 60s volume 4 or any of the 1970 yearbooks? I’m hoping the latter

I've noticed in their advert/blurb for 124 they've explicitly said "sales and airplay hits", is that a first beyond the odd interview they've done? I think this is why there's a lack of the omissions others post here. That's not to say that their strategy is correct and they could do with refreshing things as it'd be interesting to know what their market research is.

Whoever compiles the numbered albums needs sacking seeing as they’re deliberately focusing on sales and airplay charts and not paying attention to the singles chart. Bring back Ashley Abram or Jenny Fisher

Or they could hire US! I'm sure we know how to make a great album again!

I agree. The way they’re describing this album, it’s like sales and airplay charts are their main priority and that they’re using the singles chart as filler

If only we could get them to stop doing that... I know that's the reason why the recent numbered albums have been flopping.
