Now 39, my very first Now compilation. ❤️ I wish I had this copy along with it though as a four disc bumper special! Some names on this I would never have expected to see on a Now compilation I might add! 😂

Ask someone like @Scene or @Addy! 😁

I couldn't find them but you're welcome to prove me wrong! Would be nice to have all the songs together on that playlist otherwise.

I think that's a fair judgement for you to make and perhaps that's what some of my Disc 3 collections looked like beyond that volume too. I guess we got the best but still some glaring omissions over the years that followed from the likes of Taylor, Harry, Adele and Ed to name a few.

@nowmusic1993 you have my heart. Thank you for bringing me such excitement for a fresh new release from you every day! I'll be sad when this all ends as I'll want to own every single one of these in my CD collection!
