On the tracklist, I've noticed three songs that previously appeared on other yearbooks:

The Hollies - He Ain't Heavy He's My Brother (Yearbook Extra 1988)

Marvin Gaye - I Heard It Through the Grapevine (Yearbook Extra 1986)

Fleetwood Mac - Albatross (Yearbook 1973)

    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

So that's three recycled tracks. ♻️♻️♻️

My copy of NOW Yearbook 1994 standard and vinyl are delayed as well. I usually go and pick them up at my local HMV and just got a message from the team that only the deluxe have arrived

Different yearbook series and separate chart runs which is why. It was the same with Righteous Brothers and I hope none of these songs also end up on the 1970 yearbook. Unchained Melody was on yearbook 60s volume 3 and the 1990 yearbook

Also, Long John Baldry (who voiced Dr. Robotnik in The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog) makes his second NOW appearance on Yearbook 60s V4 P1 too.

It happens sometimes i've had the same in the past. It won't be too long.

I wonder if any of the 1969 songs on yearbook 60s volume 4 part 1 peaked in 1970. I also love how people are being fooled into thinking that Now Christmas is also out tomorrow when it’s been out since 2024

I've received a mail now, but it's unfortunately arriving Saturday...

All these yearbooks going out a day early must impact the overall chart position? I'm sure with one of the 99 ones it wasn't registered as a new entry in the end and it was a climber because dispatch early means it counts towards the next day's chart instead of the next week's

EDIT: Yes, Yearbook 99 apparently climbed from #183 (on release day chart) to #2. Minimal sales numbers I'm sure but it does skew things surely

As yearbook 60s volume 4 part 1 is being released 27th November and nothing is being released 20th November, they should push Now Legends back a week to 20th November so that something of theirs is being released on that day and that it doesn’t clash with Now 125

I'm obliged to agree on this.

Since yesterday's Yearbook 60s announcement, I can now add up the new amount of songs, which includes the main, extras, vaults, final chapters, and 60s.

The new count total (including 60s V4 P1) is, 4,818 songs in the yearbook set.

I did the same with the numbered series and if you include Now 125, there’s a total of 5,164 songs on the numbered series

When I got my 1994 yearbook earlier, they had Now Christmas 2024 at the front of HMV. Stop trying to fool people into buying it. I ain’t being fooled. I didn’t buy it in 2024 and I ain’t buying it now. If people want it, they would’ve bought it in 2024

Yeah, that's a valid point. Buying it a few years after the initial release year, is a complete understatement.

Wait until the people who bought it in 2024 buy it again now and then they realise that it’s the exact same album they bought in 2024

Oh so it wasn't re-released with a new tracklisting today then? Odd as it seemed to be a 2 year tradition for them (and Amazon had it on pre-order for months)
