2020 will be known for a lot of things but also as the first time a Now release is delayed, plus more re-issues with fewer and fewer tracks.

During lockdown NOW produce a play at home quiz and Ben and Ed decide to give it a go. Recorded from their homes; enjoy this social distanced special.

We pick back up on the numbered series looking at albums 102 to 104. We see a new live music venture from the people behind the Now brand plus the re-releases keep coming with new CD versions of 2 to 4.

In this bonus episode, not content with just discussing at the numbered series albums, Ben and Ed try out the NOW That’s What I Call Music! board game and compare their choices with the selections made on the NOW That’s What I Call A NOW album.

NOW makes it to a century of albums and we discuss the reflective feel of NOW 97-101. We also see many established acts returning with old songs, marking certain topical events around the time of each release.

Family connections, a new voiceover for the advert and artists from Guam all feature across NOW 91-96. Plus Ben talks about brackets (parenthesis) again.

A pleasing resurgence of the mighty saxophone is prominent in this episode, where we also see a record label change. Plus novelty is prevalent courtesy of former paintballing tv stars and an Aussie omnivorous mammal.

Singer Songwriters are well and truly back in the charts throughout Nows 79 to 84. Plus artists from South Korea and Nigeria join the NOW Party too!

Ben and Ed get in a spin over Christmas as well as hearing the youngest ever artist to appear on NOW.

The NOW family’s newest members get discussed in this episode as we see NOW supplement the number series with more and more themed spin off releases.
