Hi all, and welcome! This game follows a similar format to the magical Digital Spy Song Contest which you also check out if you are not already a stan.

1. Each round, a Now album is chosen. There are, to this date, 87, so that should provide a good few rounds :3
2. Everyone taking part sends me a list of their top 5 songs from the chosen Now album, ranked 1 to 5, with 1 being best.
3. I will then hand out the songs on a first come, first serve basis, so for example if your first three choices have already been chosen, you will get your fourth choice.
4. In the rare case that all your top 5 have already been chosen, I'll ask you to send a new list of 5
5. After a couple of days, I will then post all the chosen songs in this thread, anonymously. Everyone taking part will PM their vote for their top 10 songs, with the Eurovision style of voting i.e 12, 10, 8 - 1.
6. Once the voting period has closed, I will then host results on join.me. The player who entered the winning song will then get to host the next round, and therefore choose the next Now album.


The Now album I'm choosing for Round 1 is...

NOW 38!

So yeah just PM me a list of your top 5 songs from the list. Songs from both sides of the album are eligible

Good luck!

I cant believe I'm awake this late at night let alone seeing another brilliant game emerge in the music forum. Can't wait! Viewers should join in too as it's really easy to find songs for this game.

Backstreet boys - OMG memories <3, this is soooo nostalgic! I loved BSB!

Spice Girls - AHH this is SO nostalgic too! Spice4lyf.

Janet Jackson - I only remember the chorus bit as it's been remixed loads, not my favourite but it's okay!

Dario - lmao I LOVE this so much! it's so super cool, reminds me of Lion King!

All Saints - not my fave All Saints song but I still liked this!

Hanson - lmao I didn't know Hansons had more than 1 song! but this was a pleasant surprise

Radiohead - This isn't my fave Radiohead track but I still love Radiohead in general and this will still get ranked by me.

Chumbawumba - I GET KNOCKED DOWN AND I GET UP AGAIN, lmao that chorus is soooo famous, again a great song!

Meredith Brooks - I love how loads of people associated this song with me, idk if that's a compliment or not haha but this was one of my choices! <3

Oasis - not my fave from Oasis (Wonderwall ftw) but enjoyed it

PF Project - what is this ...like I swear it's from Trainspotting? this was REALLY strange!

Gala - I remember this from when I was like 5 years old, it used to always be on tele! Lol this again was fan

Louise - I vaguely remember this song, my fave Louise song was Stuck in the middle but this was cool

The Verve - This is perhaps my favourite "serious" song from the 90's, this song really gets to me on an emotional level <3

Eternal - Not my thing sadly, but I do remember this song being super popular

Tina Moore - I can't remember this song that much, it's not my favourite of the round but not my least favourite either!

I actually think ranking will be hard

Thank you for the votes everyone - a true classic<3

The NOW album I have chosen is...

NOW 74

The first album from the collection I brought myself. Please send me your songs by Tuesday. The results will then be on Friday - good luck all.

A reminder for picking your songs:

1. Everyone taking part sends me a list of their top 5 songs from the chosen Now album, ranked 1 to 5, with 1 being best.
2. I will then hand out the songs on a first come, first serve basis, so for example if your first three choices have already been chosen, you will get your fourth choice.
3. In the rare case that all your top 5 have already been chosen, I'll ask you to send a new list of 5
4. After a couple of days, I will then post all the chosen songs in this thread, anonymously. Everyone taking part will PM their vote for their top 10 songs, with the Eurovision style of voting i.e 12, 10, 8 - 1.
5. Once the voting period has closed, I will then host results on join.me. The player who entered the winning song will then get to host the next round, and therefore choose the next Now album.

Good luck - look forward to seeing your choices!

Oh wow Outkast was about to win ty to voters! Hey Ya was like my 2003 jam along with Jerk It Out <3. And well done to Arran! Britney's best song imo (other than Stronger <3). My other favorites from Round 2 were Scissor Sisters, Christina Milan, The Rasmus and Anastacia ofc (my fav early 00s goddess). And Now 74 is great - except for two songs.
