When they eventually do Now Yearbook '89 ... could be next year hopefully. I think the last track on it will be Band Aid II

Well you could say the non-streaming hits were sales only hits. Some of those were at least No.1 (or close enough) on itunes. I think it's could they include those artists which don't get the streams to make the Official Top 40 (or even Top 100). It's a good mix of official chart and non-streaming hits. And some of those non-streaming acts are no stranger to numbered NOW albums so it's good to see them increase the number of NOWs they appear on.

Apparently so i only ever had the cassette version, never knew about the differences between the two before.

Kate Bush - The Sensual World only track missing from NOW 16 re-issue but we have an extra track not on the original album in the shape of Brother Beyond's Drive On. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=7097310...709731071191458

This will be Rick Aatley's 2nd Numbered NOW album appearance the other was Cry For Help on NOW 19

Shame to see it go, i live not far where they film it.
