It was renamed on 27 December as Now 80s. Wiki Explore. Wiki Content. Explore Wikis Community Central. Register Don't have an account? View source. History Talk 0. Most Recent Release Now is the most recent release in the series. Categories Main Pages. Universal Conquest Wiki. From that point on, three albums were released annually, and the selection process has largely remained the same.
Jeff Moskow, who oversees the tracks for the U. Moskow looks at radio play, album sales, and streaming figures as well as social media followings to determine what's relevant in the culture. Now spent 15 years in the UK before Sony and Universal, which jointly produce the albums, decided to bring it to the United States in At that time, U.
Producers had to convince them that including popular songs wouldn't cannibalize an artist's own album sales—instead, it would likely have the opposite effect, bringing new listeners to acts they might not have been exposed to otherwise.
In order for a track to appear on a Now release, record labels and artists need to give their consent. Speaking with Thrillist in , Moskow said that younger artists tend to be more enthusiastic about getting their music out to a wider audience, while more accomplished artists who have perhaps been around a little longer are more "pensive" and reluctant to offer permission.
Bruce Springsteen is one example of an artist who has yet to say yes to Now. When a track has been selected, producers are careful to obtain the radio edits, which typically have any expletives present on the album version removed.
The reason is the target audience of Now can skew heavily toward adolescents. The compilations are often played in cars for kids to sing along to, and cursing might invite the wrath of parents.
The first Now release in the UK featured a collage of some included musicians Phil Collins's likeness was on there twice—both as a solo artist and as a member of Genesis , and the next three also had promo shots of artists like David Bowie, Annie Lennox, Culture Club, Queen, and Lionel Richie. But starting with the fifth installment, which only showed the early-days mascot pig, subsequent releases have almost always featured a graphic instead of any artist photographs.
That's because it's already a challenge to secure permission to license songs: Any last-minute problems with getting approval for a photo would only complicate the process and could conceivably delay the album's release.
Those two appearances are the only time Mayer was ever considered music. I blame the multiple popped collars. This is mostly because it took Now an oddly long time to consider Taylor Swift to be a pop star. Across 67 albums, only 14 songs received a perfect 10 in the Essential Score category. Never heard of Boys Like Girls? I know.
I agree. My hair is currently everywhere. Now albums are very quick to call songs in prominent ads music. If your song ends up on a commercial, especially one featuring a person dancing, congrats, dude—your song is probably music. They make no sense. Take the first verse, for example:.
This is the worst book report on the Iliad ever written. Now 43 is an inflection point in the Now nexus, capturing most of the artists either on the downslope of their careers or headed toward their apex.
Believe -era Bieber was defined by speeding arrests in Miami, neighborhood vandalism, the Conner4Real hair cut , and songs that were way too sexual to be sung by an year-old. Things were dismal. Ansel Elgort—and his DJ alter ego Ansolo—have never been called music. Ergo, Ansolo is so close to being music. That is a near-criminal act of erasure that cannot be forgiven.
I, for one, am stunned that Mr. It features someone named Kimbra. That little chirping noise. I scoffed at their zebra-print pants, the fact that a grown man was calling himself Redfoo and gallivanting around with his nephew. I hated the commercial with the dancing rodents. They were party people in the house tonight , and they just wanted to have a good time.
LMFAO is a modern treasure. Boys Like Girls have been called music a confounding amount of times. Now hung onto the boy band craze a bit too long. I believe Kevin of the Backstreet Boys was 72 years old when Now 20 came out. The run in the middle of Now 21 is sublime.
Then after a random Ray J song!! Relatedly, is Jackson Maine music? Bradley Cooper is music. What … does that mean?
