  1. I'm struggling with a prediction for this one. I reckon Now will surprise us. Calvin as CD1 Track 1 again? It will be the third time! Funky Friday on Disc 1 or 2? It got to number one and they tend to stick number ones on Disc 1 but then it is urban and will be best placed next to other urban tracks on Disc 2. How many tracks that missed Now 100 will be included? Will we be surprised by a Drake or Ed inclusion? Drake made it onto 95 and Ed licensed Galway Girl for 98. Finally, is there any reason why they couldn't feature Ariana Grande twice? (i.e. God is a woman and breathin')
  2. Not a great album in my opinion. Disappointing after a string of fantastic summer editions. Disc 1 far ahead of Disc 2. Disc 2 is only good as far as track 8, then the rest is filler. My top 7: Symphony Something Just Like This On My Mind Instruction No Promises Feels Power
  3. Before I bought the album, I had a bad feeling about the album. Strangely for me, it's actually up there with my favourites. Some great hits particularly on disc 1. My favourite 7: Be The One You Don't Know Me Chained To The Rhythm No Lie I Feel It Coming Skin Ciao Adios Wouldn't say there are any songs I particularly disliked. Robbie and John Legend are quite boring additions however.
  4. Another good NOW album Top 7 Sunshine Is This Love (Remix) Final Song Trouble Let Me Love You Cold Water Rockabye
  5. To me, Now 94 I feel is mostly good actually. I quite enjoy CD1 with some the filler okay to listen to. CD2 as been said already does not flow, it peaks in the middle for me. Whilst there are no proper no.1s there are of course a number of sales number ones , most of which would have topped the chart had it not been for drake's overrated hit (some of these were cruelly denied it). I really like the cover as it something a bit different. When considering other streaming-era NOWs it isn't that bad really. My Top 7: This Girl (easily) This Is What You Came For Can't Stop The Feeling Perfect Strangers Don't Let Me Down Into You Raging
  6. Now 93 is not my favourite album with lots of average singles but I do find there are about 7 strong hits I really like which makes the album more enjoyable. These 7 are: 99 Souls feat. Destiny's Child & Brandy – The Girl Is Mine Coldplay – Hymn For The Weekend Major Lazor feat. Nyla & Fuse ODG – Light It Up (Remix) The Chainsmokers feat. Rozes – Roses Zara Larsson – Lush Life AlunaGeorge feat. Popcaan – I'm In Control Shawn Mendes – Stitches As for least favourite hits I'd probably say the first 3 tracks on Disc 1 are contenders! Can't stand any of them.
  7. Now 91 is great, especially disc 2 which is fantastic from start to finish. Could be my second favourite album after Now 82. My top 5 Major Lazer & DJ Snake feat. MØ - Lean On Pep & Rash - Rumors Avicii - Waiting For Love Martin Garrix feat. Usher - Don't Look Down Dr. Kucho! & Gregor Salto feat. Ane Brun – Can’t Stop Playing (Makes Me High) (Oliver Heldens Vocal Edit) Galantis - Runaway is a close 6th! Also a fan of Five More Hours, Shut Up & Dance, Stole The Show and Are You With Me
  8. NOW 90 is okay, I do love the cover though. For me, there is too many ‘average ‘ songs especially at the end on disc 2 and many songs on disc 1. I struggled to choose a favourite single for a while whilst most albums are instant. My top 5: Oliver Heldens/Kstewart - Last All Night (Koala) David Guetta/Emeli Sandé - What I Did For Love Philip George - Wish You Were Mine Fergie - LA Love (too catchy!) David Guetta/Sam Martin - Dangerous
  9. I like Now 89, perhaps a little better than Now 88, despite that CD's strength. Disc 2 is great only ruined by Anaconda at the end! Nevertheless it is another NOW album to capture the dance music era. My favourite 5: OneRepublic - Love Runs Out David Guetta feat. Sam Martin - Lovers On The Sun Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne - Real Love Duke Dumont - Won't Look Back Lilly Wood & Robin Schulz - Prayer In C Also love My Head Is A Jungle and Walking With Elephant. Of the omissions it would have been nice to have Bakermat and Shift K3y but the latter only got 25 so not such a surprise.
  10. This is really good! Really loving this in this weather.
  11. I really like this album. I can't decide whether I like the cover or not. I would say if the '8's were positioned better it might improve my opinion. Favourite 5: (essentially the first part of disc 2!) Clean Bandit feat. Jess Glynne - Rather Be SecondCity - I Wanna Feel Oliver Heldens x Becky Hill - Gecko (Overdrive) Calvin Harris - Summer Kiesza - Hideaway Other honourable mentions: Extraordinary, Touch, Always and Welcome To The Jungle
  12. Good album this one. Struggled for some time to pick a top 5 Sub Focus - Turn Back Time Martin Garrix vs. Jay Hardway - Wizard Alesso vs. OneRepublic - If I Lose Myself Le Youth feat. Dominique Young Unique - Dance With Me Duke Dumont feat. Jax Jones - I Got U Other honourable mentions: Move, Crying For No Reason and Hey Brother Good album overall but few too many 'average' songs, especially on Disc 1

  16. I've been reading this forum a while but this thread made we want to join! This is my favourite Now CD. So many great hits and one of the few if only Now CDs where I don't mind every track and I can listen to the CD time and time again without getting bored. I don't know if anyone else can relate? My favourite five tracks: Princess Of China; We Are Young; Feel The Love; Oliver Twist & Hot Right Now Only two I don't like but can tolerate a listen: Small Bump & Laserlight
