Product Information

Since “How You Remind Me” landed on Now 10, Nickelback has appeared on 12 editions of Now—more than 20 percent of the time. In the pre-playlist era, the Now albums were an essential way of staying up-to-date, and even discovering new music. I can’t bring myself to hate on S Club 7 because to me they’re the perfect definition of “guilty pleasure” (although no one should feel guilt over liking Don’t Stop Movin’ because that Is one damn fine song! The thesis of “Chanté’s Got a Man” is “Oh dang, it’s really too bad your boyfriend is cheating on you, but guess what: I’m in a very stable, rewarding relationship.

They debuted on the very first Now album with their number one hit Is There Something I Should Know, and are back on the latest volume with Black Moonlight - a single which failed to make the top 75.

Then there was the dance step of putting both hands parallel to the sides of the head in time with the song title, which became a trademark of the group.first reissued 2009 for the 25th anniversary, then again 20 July 2018 to coincide with Now 100) re-issued on 2CD (gatefold in 2009, jewel case in 2018), audio cassette, and a 2LP vinyl release. An earlier compilation tie-in with Smash Hits from 1987 did, however, include tracks from those years.

Not long afterwards, Nic Moran and Mark Rosenfield left Global and the Hits franchise was put in the hands of Warner. A triple-CD only release, Yearbook Extra: The Collectors Edition, is issued a few weeks later; these include lesser known tracks and more songs by big artists included on the main album and they are released only in standard gatefold wallet packaging. Why did we need two awful (well, that’s actually unnecessary as all of her tracks were awful) Geri Halliwell tracks? At the time it was the joint fastest million selling album,achieving those sales after just 26 days. Released in association with the Official Chart Company to "celebrate 70 years of the official UK singles chart".Mayer appears on Now 28 twice—on his own song “Say” and as the featured artist on a cursed cover of “Beat It” by Fall Out Boy that I had erased from my memory.

Since that day we have had help in determining what is and what is not music (now), in the form of triannual installments in the Now series.

Michael Jackson has only appeared twice: On Now 4, with the drippy 1970s ballad Farewell My Summer Love, and again on Now 88 with the posthumous single Love Never Felt So Good.

Elsewhere Tina Cousins’ haunting Madonna-like slowburner Angel gets a second outing (along with a remix by Tall Paul). I’m ’n Luv (wit a Stripper),” which appears on Now 22, is not the only song in which T-Pain documents his unrequited love for a stripper.
