Amen! I'm honestly surprised NOW 91 hasn’t already gone up for pre-order yet. I would assume they plan on releasing it the first weekend in August as per usual, and usually the pre-orders for these go up at least a full month in advance. Who knows, maybe by the end of this week we'll finally get at least an official artwork for NOW 91. Either way, I'm looking forward to it!
Wow. You're right. I somehow didn't even notice that when filming, but now I do! So that's yet another old song that's now made a comeback and is now being featured on a recent NOW volume! That is one the best parts about us living in the Tik-Tok era, many older songs have started to make a comeback, with many of them even achieving NOW status. (Lady Gaga's Bloody Mary, and Sia's Unstoppable are other prime examples of this).
Today's NOW's are some how weirdest. Why because they add songs from the past. I realized that on NOW 84 with a song from Sia, then NOW 85 for a song The Weeknd. And later on NOW 86 with a old song from Lady Gaga.. So what's happening? Why they keep adding songs from the past ? The NOW 90 as one song that was around 2001, hello! We are in 2024 now . The change so much this series of CDs, since the creator of the USA NOW series died. Sometimes I kinda don't want to buy this CDs anymore.
Well I can tell you exactly why. It’s because we now live in the "Tik-Tok era", as I like to call it. And thanks to apps like Tik-Tok and Instagram, songs that were originally considered "Deep-Cuts", have started to make a comeback, with a lot of them becoming Chart-Toppers. And from what I understand, the most recent NOWs are meant to appeal to the "Tik-Tok Generation", and as such, a lot of these older songs that have suddenly made a come back, are starting to show up on the most recent NOWs. And it’s not like this is something they just recently started doing. A Lizzo song from 2016, (Good As Hell), was used on NOW 74, which was released in May of 2020, (obviously right at the height of the Pandemic). And Måneskin's "Beggin', which was released in 2017, made an appearance on NOW 80 in late 2021. So yeah, it may seem odd that older songs have been popping up on the more recent NOW volumes, but when you consider the era of music that we live in, it kind of makes sense. (I personally think it would have been AMAZING if "Running Up That Hill" showed up on NOW 83 or 84).
@@therealjoshhart518 well in my opinion, I don't like the way the series of NOW music as becoming. The past is the past and the future is what we live in. That's why I give away the NOW 84 and NOW 85, NOW 86 . I keep the NOW 90 cuz I like all the songs. I am a old school person about NOW's I have a bunch a NOW's from they first come out. For example NOW 3, NOW 4, NOW 5, NOW 6, NOW 7, NOW 8 and so on. Back then the old series was the best. So yes I come along way to know NOW Music.
@@miguelgarcia-lm2jm I will definitely agree with you on one thing. I do like the older NOWs a LOT better than the newer ones. In my personal opinion, all of the NOWs starting with the first one, up to NOW 64 is really good, (NOW 33-64 in particular is my personal favorite era of the NOWs, though I may be slightly biased when I say that, since that’s the era of music that I grew up with). Everything from NOW 65 on is very hit or miss for me. Though with that said, every new volume that comes out usually still ends up having at least one or two really good songs that I end up liking. (NOW 71 in particular actually has a lot of songs that I really like, and that one also brings back fond memories of the last summer before COVID. And NOWs 88 and 89 definitely both had a few bangers on them too). And although NOW Music is very different now from what it was 10-15 years ago, I still do enjoy buying the new ones as they come out, and I will always listen to them at least once or twice, just to get a vague idea of how they sound. And I will always buy them when they come out, so that my collection remains up to date. And as of right now, I currently do own ALMOST all of the ones that are out right now. The only ones I still need are: 13, 22, 24, 25, 29, 38, 41, 46, 47, & 48.
Can't wait for NOW 91!
Amen!

Which interesting fact about the song murder on the dancefloor by sophie ellis-bextor, that song is originally released back in 2001 believe it or not
