Massive Dance floor hits feature on the first half of disc 4, including the iconic ‘Dancing Queen’ from ABBA and Gloria Gaynor’s ‘I Will Survive’, alongside noughties №1s from Lady Gaga and Kylie Minogue, plus the mega selling ‘Believe’ from Cher.

The final disc opens with three massive Dance-Pop collaborations : Elton John & Dua Lipa with ‘Cold Heart’, David Guetta feat. Sia with ‘Titanium’, and ‘Uptown Funk’ from Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars, before celebrating with giant party anthems from Robbie Williams, George Ezra, Madness and Culture Club - and paying tribute to some classic early №1s from Jo Stafford, Frankie Laine and the first ever number one from 1952 from Al Martino with ‘Here In My Heart’. Enduring and uplifting tracks ‘You’ll Never Walk Alone’ and ‘You Raise Me Up’ lead into our final selection with the incomparable ‘Do They Know It’s Christmas?’ from Band Aid.

Суперпопулярная в Великобритании аудиосерия NOW That's What I Call Music! (ТЕПЕРЬ это то, что я называю музыкой!) вскоре пополнится юбилейным релизом NOW №1s в ознаменование 70-летия официального британского сингл-чарта. Это лучший сборник для поклонников поп-музыки всех возрастов.
На официальном ресурсе officialcharts.com публикуется анонс новинки, которая появится в продаже 11 ноября (предзаказ уже открыт в интернет-магазинах amazon и NOW MUSIC Official Store):
"Отпразднуйте 70-летие официального сингл-чарта NOW №1 — 5 компакт-дисков, на которых записаны 100 величайших синглов всех времён.
Коллекция стильно начинается с «Богемской рапсодии» группы Queen, а затем переходит к хитам, возглавляющим чарты 70-х, включая Boney M., Paul McCartney & Wings и The Beach Boys, к классическому рок-н-роллу Элвиса Пресли, за которым следуют хиты 80-х, например, классика от The Police, The Human League и Frankie Goes to Hollywood, не говоря уже о культовых саундтрэках к фильмам от Селин Дион и Уитни Хьюстон.
Однако это не только 70-90-е годы, так как Now №1 также включает в себя множество недавних хитов от таких артистов как Оливия Родриго, Ариана Гранде, Майли Сайрус, Coldplay и другие.
Со 100 величайшими хитами №1, охватывающими последние 7 десятилетий, это действительно может быть лучший плейлист, который у вас когда-либо был."
