It'll be released on Friday 22nd of July. (Just in time for the school summer hols, as the second annual NTWICM edition is released roughly about the same time every year).
Twenty One Pilots 'Stressed Out' was track 19, disc 2 on NOW 93.
It's quite difficult to predict these as some songs that I'd expected to have seen on previous albums never appeared at all, so there may be record label issues.
Going through this weeks top 75, I think the following could make an appearance:
Drake feat. Wizkid & Kyla - One Dance
Sia feat. Sean Paul - Cheap Thrills
DNCE - Cake By The Ocean
Fifth Harmony feat. Ty Dolla $ign - Work From Home
Meghan Trainor - NO
Galantis - No Money
Blonde & Craig David - Nothing Like This
DJ Snake feat. Bipolar Sunshine - Middle
Little Mix feat. Sean Paul - Hair
Desiigner - Panda <--- if they get a radio edit
Ariana Grande - Dangerous Woman
Disturbed - The Sound Of Silence
Sigala feat. Imani & DJ Fresh - Say You Do
Nick Jonas feat. Tove Lo - Close
will.i.am feat. Pia Mia - Boys & Girls
Gnash feat. Olivia O'Brien - I Hate U, I Love U <--- like Desiigner, assuming they get a radio edit
Cheat Codes x Kris Kross Amsterdam - Sex
One thing that is guaranteed is the inclusion of Prince - most likely the final track on disc 2. However, would they choose Purple Rain considering the full version is 8 minutes long, or would they use the 4 minute radio edit instead?
Agreed.
That would've made sense in the 90s when there was a high turnover in the charts - but now they struggle to fill 3 albums a year. Not enough singles make the top 40.
Exactly what I was thinking.
Ideally, the Now compilers should try and focus on getting as many brand new, up to date and where possible upcoming new releases on their albums.
It would be absolutely pointless now if Hello by Adele appeared on Now 94 - it'll be six months old when the album is released.
I don't buy every Now album anymore because of this reason. I look at the trackless and it's usually songs from 4-5 months back being included when I'd much prefer a more fresher looking track list.
As for NOW 94... I'd like to see the following:
DNCE - Cake By The Ocean (this is a nice upbeat song and I can't find the clean edits anywhere on Youtube/Spotify, so having it on a NOW would be nice.)
Sia ft Sean Paul - Cheap Thrills (or even better, Sia without Sean Paul! Anyway, one of my favorite songs of the year.)
Whatever that recent song is that gets played a lot on Capital - can't think of its name but last I heard it was no.1 on iTunes
And the new Justin Timberlake song - Can't Stop The Feeling?
Only got about 4 weeks to wait though
Kungs Vs Cookin' On 3 Burners - This Girl (also my favourite song in the charts right now).
Absolute 100% summer anthem and, like Justin Timberlake, deserved to get at least 1 week as the UK #1 but is set to forever stall at #2 until the next big UK #2 comes along.
They might as well scrap the #1 for now. At the moment, the official chart ends after they have played the #2 song.

my thoughts too. they could probably get away with doing 2 a year instead of 3
You would have loved Now 44, then - despite being released in November 1999, three of the first five songs were released in February, May and (amusingly) November 1998.
On the contrary, I never bought Now 44 as I had already bought Baby One More Time and That Don't Impress Me Much on CD single earlier in the year. That said, my brother bought it as it was pretty much the sound track to most Millennium parties being celebrated on the 1st January 2000.
Now 44 was more like a greatest hits of 1999 compilation.
Now 45, on the other hand, was excellent because when it was released, all the big chart hits around the same time were on the album and, iirc, Toca's Miracle had just gone to #1 when the album was released. If Now 94 can be more like this, I would definitely buy it.
(Mind you, there has been only one No1 since 93's release...)
how much was it? still full price?

PS - I love how this thread is the 5th result.
That'll be because the label wouldn't licence One Dance to them rather than it being their choice. They're trying to beat Bryan Adams' record.
That's the one! Awesome song, shame it didn't reach no. 1 on the official UK chart, though I listen to the iTunes based chart show (on the commercial stations) and it did reach no. 1 on there! So I'm happy.
Got the CD yesterday and very happy with it, nice selection of songs including many that I would have bought, such as Cheap Thrills, Cake By The Ocean, and the Kungs/Cookin on 3 Burners song that you mentioned. Oh, and the JT song, Can't Stop The Feeling.
I have to admit for an album that includes no UK #1 singles, they have done a great job with the track list.
There are a lot of songs in the charts that I like but not enough to download them (Kungs and JT being the exception as I did buy them on iTunes) so Now 94 has managed to tick that box for me.
