Willing And Able is another notable omission. I hope we get both Noah songs on Now 126

Anyway...

What do you think's gonna happen with Yearbook 60s Volume 4?

Maybe announce it next week for 20th or 27th November

This is my DANCE take on 125 (featuring my tribute to Dolly, as well as one to William Orbit, who also died this year):

I’d say Now 124 was better overall in my opinion, also it’s really bugging me that Sugababes and Blue aren’t together!😂

Why is Shania Twain on this, as it is like a older song

It's a remix! Something you don't seem to understand about.

I’m glad Now 125 is being released on Friday 13th for two reasons as I go on a 3 day holiday on Saturday 14th and because I can upload it to my Apple Music ready for Thursday 19th when GTA VI is released so I can listen to it during gameplay

That's a pretty damn good tracklist for 125. Still no ANOTR or Prospa so they've got to be heading for the MOS Annual.

That's quite a lot but they've still got some pretty big songs.

Glad Bloodstream isn't on though, that has some of the worst vocals I've ever heard in a UK Top 40 hit!

Did you like Tones And I - Dance Monkey back in the day? I like both that and Alyssa!

NO!

BUT I liked her recent one with Fisher as she sounded like a completely different person on it. .

Dai Dai is the only one I'm really missing but it wasn't on Bravo either (and was a No.1 in Germany), so I guess she's not licensing it at all, or it belongs to FIFA who don't want to.

I think Now 125 is a good job, getting Babydoll and Stop The Wedding will futureproof it for a bit too with big hits.

If they both appear on the annual 2027, it shows that they can license both tracks so no need for Now to ignore it but on the other hand, at least there’s some dance music on 125 this time but still no urban

How many of these hits are there to miss now though? There’s only a couple even in Wardy’s omissions list.

Yeah - this is a good job. A pity they weren’t able to license sombr, but apart from this it is a big improvement to the previous volume.

I just hope we haven’t lost RAYE to licensing as she didn’t appear at all this year considering she had her first number 1 album and if they were so eager to include Sam Smith, they should’ve included Constant Companion instead as it’s their latest single and on the r1 playlist. I reckon they would’ve included it if they also focused on the r1 playlist and not just the r2 playlist. I also hope that Now 126 includes the hits that missed Now 125. What they should use as filler is hits that missed the previous volume. In other Now related news, the 1994 yearbook isn’t available to preorder on download

Mi Chico as well.

Now missed a trick by ignoring Fontaines DC seeing as their album is looking to go number 1 on Friday
