If my business was getting negative reviews, I’d stand up and do something about it rather than sit back and do nothing and let it get run into the ground. Negative reviews are not putting Now out of business, streaming is. No wonder none of their pointless spin-offs are doing nothing because people are waking up and are sick of them repeating the same songs over and over again. If you wanna do a spin-off for everyone, do something that hasn’t been done before rather than something that’s been done to death. When I bought the 1991 yearbook, the person who served me asked what their obsession with George Michael being track 1 is. I said the label have been obsessed with him being track 1 since he died. Also, which is it? One minute you’re saying that my negative reviews are putting someone out of business and you’re also saying that my negative reviews aren’t making a difference to a 43 year old compilation series

You obviously don’t own a business to understand how business works

The collectors for sure definitely don’t wanna touch the casual spin-offs. Since the launch of the yearbooks, they’ve rendered the casual albums pointless. The casual spin-offs get bad reviews because they only use songs that appeared on yearbooks. Maybe with the numbered series, they should prioritise the singles chart and use the sales and airplay chart as filler rather than the other way round like they’re currently doing. If they wanna do any casual spin-offs, they should at least do something that hasn’t been done rather than something that’s been done to death. As for the eras, they cater more to the casual market than collectors market apart from the albums 1980-1984 which quite clearly caters to the collectors market. As for them not caring if they read the reviews, I’m sure they would care. It’s like a business. If a business is getting bad reviews whether it’s a restaurant, pub, bar, etc, no one’s gonna wanna go there. People do care if their businesses are getting bad reviews

Collectors will buy it regardless. It’s the casual buyers that won’t touch the numbered albums because of bad tracklists. They’ll look at it and think, I hardly know any of these songs. They should cater to both sides when it comes to the numbered series

Because it’s been doing the rounds thanks to the football and even if it did re-enter on Friday, it will more likely drop out the following week. I’ve been hearing that song a lot of lately aside from the world cup

The Odyssey will get a second week at the top seeing as there’s no new films out this Friday. Evil Dead might have had a chance if they didn’t bring it 2 weeks forward to 10th July where it went up against Moana, instead of keeping it at its original 24th July slot

They’re only pointless because they don’t focus on the singles chart. Their main priority is the sales and airplay chart. They even chose to ignore dance as well as urban. Watch a lot of these snubbed dance hits appear on the annual 2027

They now prioritise the sales and airplay chart and use the singles chart as filler

I don’t mind either ANOTR or Ella going number 1 but I’d prefer the former and I hope Mr Brightside can remain top 40 too even if it’s just for a week

Watch ANOTR and Prospa miss Now 125 but get included on the annual 2027

Even if 1975 is next, they’ll get 1970 and 1971 done first before doing final chapters

The strangest things about artists who license their songs to certain compilations are the ones who for instance will license their music to the casual spin-offs but not the yearbooks ie. Def Leppard. If it was me, it would be the other way around and as for this weeks announcement, I hope they announce the next yearbook. This time last year, they announced the 1976 yearbook

Yeah I did. I even put that people who give it 5 star reviews are the ones who don’t pay attention to the charts

I just seen articles about physical media on the rise again. Come on Now, take note of this and target all audiences rather than having it in your heads that only older people buy music. I hope Now read those articles about physical media on the rise again and take notes. Maybe, they’ll actually put together a decent album

I hope Don’t Cry For Me Argentina does enough to get a boost following Argentina’s defeat

I’m just streaming Don’t Cry For Me Argentina right now. First the Madonna version then the Julie Covington version

Argentina players attacking Spain players after the game goes to show that they’re a bunch of sore losers

Offside my arse

I hope it does. I’d love to see a re-entry for that

Live Is Life during HB. I have it on vinyl on Greatest Hits of 1985

f*** streaming. Physical all the way. To all those people loving streaming, they can remove your favourite song or album without explanation. One reason to hate streaming and love physical

Spam my arse. Songs DO go number 1 because of people pressing play and repeat. I’ve also heard that physicals are slowly starting to increase. People are finally seeing sense

I hope it can put an end to Rein Me In

Even when Last Christmas eventually gets the record, they probably won’t acknowledge the fact. I don’t get why people are happy for Rein Me In to get the record and I doubt it would’ve spent this long at number 1 during a physical era. At least with Bryan Adams and Wet Wet Wet, people went out and BOUGHT it rather than press play and repeat

I’ll take the latter especially as it’s a timeless classic that brings people together
