Honest question, why do you care? Even if there are "double standards" and posters come across as "ridiculous", so what? Why try and police things?

I was actually happy with all the winners yesterday, especially Adele, Little Simz and Wolf Alice (who I didn't expect to win).

I'd rather she hadn't performed I Drink Win tbh. But she dominated the night which was good to see. Just nice to see her again after a while.

If you're gonna be a troll, at least be a good one. Embarrassing.

Just scrolling back, this is a stupid comment. These sales are still good for Adele. For the average artist, they'd be remarkable. No one at Sony would have expected much better with streaming vs sales being what they are in the current climate. Did anyone actually think she'd hit 25's opening few weeks? It's impossible in this day and age. Her first two months of sales have been remarkable when you look at what sales are like these days.

What's always amazed me about the FONY debate every year are the amount of mostly straight people claiming that removing that word ruins their favourite Christmas song, when it is literally just one word. Taking out that word and replacing it with haggared makes no difference whatsoever to the song, musically and sonically. Gammons just loved having the chance to shout out a slur every year and get away with it.

Good to see the cover getting teased.

Shouldn't we be getting the cover for Now 107 soon?

Break Up Song and This City could easily both have been on Now 105 had it been released in April, they had both charted before April 3rd. Hadji too often you can't separate your own subjective Now beliefs from actual reality.

Yes.

Benee and Little Mix would have definitely been on Now 105 had it been released in April. Like has already been said, only Matt Lucas is a late addition. My version arrived today, which was a surprise as it was expected on Monday.

I think it has coincided with the original release date. The tracklisting would have probably been exactly the same had it come out a month ago.

Aaah. The now annual tantrums because Mariah doesn't get the #1. You love to see it. Although hilarious to see some of the most rampant Ellie stans on here reiterating how Ellie is "deservedly number 1", yet they were amongst the masses who were annoyed when Mariah missed out in near identical circumstances last year.

Spotify all the way.

That doesn't necessarily make it better though. You should judge it by the quality of the music.

I love Now 103's tracklisting. Even without the throwbacks, it's 44 tracks long which is more than substantial. Plus all the inclusions make sense, including the likes of Lighthouse Family who get on basically by having a big(ish) album. Am a bit surprised Fashion Week is on and very surprised So Am I missed out. But other than that, it's what I expected. Also, love that Billie's now been included after missing out with Bury A Friend.

Unpopular opinion regarding Madonna? Everything from Confessions (and the album itself) is overrated.

Hadji, you're hardly one to comment on people complaining about Nows :lol: No one's denying that urban music is very popular, but it's all about target market. Generally speaking, a lot of urban music fans are not going to be buying a Now CD. Infact, they won't by buying any CD, as urban is significantly more successful on streaming platforms than sales. CD sales are going to be more popular with slightly older, more traditional buyers, and stereo typically speaking, urban music is less likely to appeal to them. That's why I think only the biggest urban songs will be included from here on out. For Now fanatics who are mainly concerned about as many charting hits as possible featuring, it's going to be somewhat frustrating losing multiple Top 40 hits, but fanatics don't make up the majority of the buying market. Of course I'm not literally suggesting that NowMusic are going to remove or include songs based on people leaving comments on Facebook, but they're no fools. They know who the Nows are most likely to appeal to these days, and are catering towards them. The Nows have to adapt and ever evolve to still compete in the current music climate, so it's pointless referring back to past Nows.

They almost certainly will. If you look at the user comments for Now 101 and Now 99, it was the inclusion of so many urban songs that pissed a lot of casual buyers off. The more MOR approach of Now 102 is here to stay I reckon. Only huge urban songs, like Vossi Bop, will still make it (and even that's not a certainty). I personally don't mind the whole bonus tracks inclusion thing. 40 songs is still enough modern songs to not feel short changed.

Seriously? I think Madame X is brilliant. Easily her best album in years.

Loving the insta-add for Mabel.

This is a bop. I love it.

This is the guiltiest of guilty pleasures for me. I mean, yeah it's objectively awful, but it makes me laugh.

My rate (based on the song, not the video) 1. Shake It Off 2. We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together 3. Look What You Made Me Do (underrated) 4. Love Story 5. Mine 6. Tim McGraw 7. ME! The Top 3 are all great. Me is the only one that I strongly dislike. It is *such* a regression for her.

I thought she'd be lucky to get 5.5k for the whole week. So much better than I thought.
