I've got the whole collection (1-88) on a 32gb micro sd card at 320kbps.
Have got it playing on shuffle so get a bit from each album.
I've got them all from 34 to 88 on my iPod and I love having it on shuffle! Although unless it was a massive hit, anything before about 2000 tends to be a song i've never heard before. I do tend to know most tracks beyond around 2000, but it's surprising how many you forget.
Becky Hill - Losing
Olly Murs feat. Travie McCoy - Wrapped Up
Rixton - Wait On Me
Paloma Faith - Ready For The Good Life
Mary J. Blige - Right Now (unlikely it'll be a hit but still hopeful)
Professor Green feat. Tori Kelly - Lullaby
Thanks for letting me know. I already knew, but thanks anyway.

I wonder if we're going to have a repeat of Now 86's playlist announcement, where one track (which later turned out to be Lily Allen's attempt at covering Keane's Somewhere Only We Know) was listed as "TBA", or if all the tracks will be announced.
Doubt it as Now have done the reverse this year, they've already announced Tom Odell's Real Love (this year's John Lewis ad soundtrack) will be on Now 89.
The 'TBC' last year was due to the tracklist being released a week before the ad, which would have given away the surprise of the song.
The tracklist has been released and it's pretty much as expected. The only glaring omissions I can see is 'Shake It Off' (a bit of a shock) and 'Thinking Out Loud' which is a shame. Nice to see Katy Perry too
The chart turnaround is so slow these days that so many current top 40 hits were already on Now 88. I think they struggled to fill the CDs.
Oooh, there is a TBC too. CD1 Track 8 and it's not for Tom Odell (that's track 7!)
They revealed the official tracklist yesterday. Here it is:
CD 1
1. Meghan Trainor – All About That Bass
2. Olly Murs featuring Travie McCoy – Wrapped Up
3. Jessie J, Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj – Bang Bang

10. George Ezra – Blame It On Me
11. The Script – Superheroes
12. OneRepublic – Love Runs Out
13. Maroon 5 – Maps
14. Hozier – Take Me To Church
15. Charli XCX – Boom Clap
16. One Direction – Steal My Girl
17. The Vamps featuring Shawn Mendes – Oh Cecilia (Breaking My Heart)
18. 5 Seconds Of Summer – Amnesia
19. G.R.L – Ugly Heart
20. Katy Perry – This Is How We Do

19. Melissa Steel featuring Popcaan – Kisses For Breakfast
20. Professor Green featuring Tori Kelly – Lullaby
21. Iggy Azalea featuring Rita Ora – Black Widow
22. Nicki Minaj – Anaconda
I reckon CD 1 Track 8 will be Gareth Malone's All Star Choir – Wake Me Up.
iTunes have released the running times for each track on the album. Track 8 runs for 3:50 so my guess is that the track will be Gareth Malone's All Star Choir - "Wake Me Up". Can't believe the version of "Walking With Elephants" which is used is the full 5:20 version rather than the 2:58 radio version

I can't believe it either.
5 minutes 20 seconds of someone farting in a metal dustbin being repeatedly kicked with wellington boots. Awful track... as is most of the album tbh.

At least "Anaconda" is right at the end where it belongs. Fair enough that they have edited most of the songs on the album to make space on the CDs but they leave "Walking With Elephants" untouched when that's the song which desperately needs to be edited down. The latest NOW album I remember to include a track which exceeds 5 minutes was NOW 80 when the version of "Edge Of Glory" which was included on the album was the full 5:20 version rather than the 4:20 radio edit

I think George Michael has the longest song on a Now though when they used the full 7 minute version of Jesus to a Child on 34
