I think it’s unlikely the track list or anything will change. It’s most likely that HMV accidentally put it up early in error and were asked to take it off until the official announcement.

Ohh Well spotted. Not too bad. Just waiting now for the first person to ask why Taylor Swift isn't on there :lol: Wonder if Ed's new single is only on there because it's underperforming? :lol: Surprised to see Queen sneak through at the end of Disc 2, but great to see Robbie continue his tally of appearing on official Now compilations.

Now 113 per order up. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0BKFBT9SZ/ref=...Dl2Sg12X7J6u54w No doubt artwork and track list will follow later on.

It’s been sent to radio as the next single

Jax Jones remix out now 7YeSNjo6PG0

Wonder if it’s one of this years Amazons exclusives?

Why does Radio 1 need to playlist it if it's sister station has? I personally think there are too many tracks shared between Radio 1 and 1xtra, which in the world we now live in is easily accessible on DAB Radio, online, Apps, Smartspeakers etc... I think Radio 1 should focus more on indie, rock, dance and pop and let 1Xtra showcase the grime and hiphop. That's not to say they shouldn't play any, just less of it.

A rediscovered Queen track 'Face It Alone' has been confirmed to be released tomorrow. @1579788908963024896 Ken Bruce will have first play on Radio 2, 11am. @1580139966272790528

Deep Down randomly getting that very late add! Great to see continued support for Paramore

Interesting they got Ed Sheeran's Perfect on there. It was never included on the main series.

Would be nice if it stayed like that. The album chart has been extremely stale with the same albums and GH albums hanging around for a long time.

Surprising late support for Alok & Ella Eyre there.

Surprised nobody has mentioned:- Maroon 5 & Christina Aguilera - Moves Like Jagger Olly Murs - Dance With Me Tonight The Killers - Human Justin Timberlake - Can't Stop The Feeling

The Mark Ronson and Amy Winehouse version was, but don’t forget was originally a hit for The Zutons a year earlier in 2006. I would agree though that the cover is far more popular than the original.

He was interviewed on BBC Breakfast this morning, a feature which I presume was supposed to be run last week, but hopefully it’ll soften the blow abit.

Thought Marcus Mumford would do better given Mumford & Sons albums sell really well.

Totally agree. A great opportunity for budding presenters to get themselves heard. Think a couple of previous presenters who took part have managed to get jobs at the likes of Hits and Kiss on the back of it too.

Radio 1 have opened applications for budding presenters to be part of their Christmas Takeover for 2022. https://radiotoday.co.uk/2022/09/bbc-radio-...eturns-for-2022
