Having taken a trip down memory lane with some 1999 classics, I worked on a further unofficial collection of extra music from the year and compiled it into a four disc package for everyone's enjoyment!

Full disclosure: this is not an official release. (🙁)

Ugh I love this. It upsets me that the following didn't make the main two Yearbooks: Viva La Radio, Kiss Me, National Express, Witch Doctor, (Mucho Mambo) Sway, 2 Times, Flat Beat, Blue (Da Ba Dee), Right Here Right Now, Drinking In LA, Ooh La La, How Long's A Tear Take To Dry, Don't Stop, Unpretty, The Millennium Prayer.

I love, love, love the inclusion of:

The Offspring - Pretty Fly (For A White Guy)

Eminem - My Name Is

Smash Mouth - All Star

Barenaked Ladies - One Week

Pete Heller - Big Love

Korn - Freak On A Leash

Mario Piu - Communication

I will have to listen to this after I've listened to the Extra!

Shame Beautiful South were ignored from both 1999 yearbooks. I’m hoping we get Rotterdam on 1996 and Don’t Marry Her on extra 1996 but if we don’t, then they’re now a licensing issue

Could you also do Xtra Boosts for the other Yearbooks too?

I've decided to oblige to your request and make another one for 1998, and here it is;

@gooddelta @nowmusic1993 @Harrison FB @geraintlewis268 @Tylky tagging you just this one time as I opted to move these posts out from the official Now thread to keep them separate.

And one final project for now until the eventual release of 1996 Yearbook, here is the finished Xtra Boost collection for 1997;

I’d have added Stay by Sash! onto that playlist. Great tune and I hope his other songs make it onto the official 1995-1999 yearbooks when that comes out

I did add it, on Disc 2!

If it was me, I woulda put Last Night on Earth by U2 on this...

Digging through one of my own personal NOW projects, I compiled one two years ago, focusing on one band from which I am a massive fan of. Here it is:

I want to keep going with my DANCE editions, but I'll need some suggestions for 71. I can use what @nowmusic1993 inserted on his own version, but I'll need research on other tunes that have charted/released back in late 2008.

Two from which I know, from Scooter - The Question is What is the Question (No.49) and Jump That Rock (Whatever You Want) (No.57). I just looked it up on Wikipedia, and I also thought of it with my custom tracklist I did last Wednesday, using two of the 84 tracks I complied on the custom tracklist, whether or not they charted in the UK regardless.

😔 I can take the latter, borrow some from @nowmusic1993 list, and maybe I can bring in these:

Girls Aloud - The Promise (Dave Aude Edit)

Katy Perry - I Kissed A Girl (Jason Nevins Funkrockr Mix)

P!nk - So What (Bimbo Jones Remix)

Miley Cyrus - See You Again (Rock Mafia Remix)

Now 71

'Welcome to the Club' was featured on Clubland 14, but Wikipedia listed the track as a 2009 release. Was it officially released in 2008 first? Did Wikipedia get that bit wrong?

I don’t know I just featured it on Now 71 because it was on Clubland 14.
