Losing faith here, MJ on Now 78 =(

[OnirMJ]

I think it is good thing! More people will here the song and then maybe will buy MICHAEL album to hear other songs.. It is good promo.

[Sophielo]

I think its a good thing. NOW albums are in the end of the day very popular and it brings songs to a wider audiences.

[Hess]

I just hope songs from Michael and Invincible will be on those.

Songs from OTW, BAD, Thriller, Dangerous and HIStory are well known.

Or maybe just add the songs not known to the public.

Who Is It would be nice on NOW - it needs more credit.

[Jesslovesmj1995]

actually the smooth criminal cover by alien ant farm was on now 50, the first ever now album i got, (i was 6), and that got me into MJ's music. So it cant be that bad

I agree it is a good move, and great news for Hold My Hand. I love that song and most ppl do also. This makes Michael still relevant and making hits all over again. Yeah!

I know Michael never had his songs in those albums, but it could be like "Lovemagical" said his royalty rates are so high or simply because Michael thought it wasn't necessary to promote his songs in that manner.

But now, with his absence he is not here to promote his songs, and this becomes another avenue to reach a wider audience to listen to his music. I gather these NOW albums are released worldwide?

And Hess, Hold My Hand is in this NOW compilation so it's all good. Maybe they'll also have HT and BTM later on.


I believe the estate made the right move.

I hope so very much that HT, BTM, MTS and BoJ would be on later VOL.

Now MJ is not here any longer, new promotion tools needs to be taken into consideration.

And this is one of them for sure. I am not against it, I just hope we will not only see old classics on these compilation CD's.

It has no interest to me to see Billie Jean, Beat It, Thriller, BAD, TWYMMF and other very well known songs on these VOL CD's.

Give me Speechless, Who Is It, any song from Invincible and Michael or Superfly Sister, Is It Scary og Morphine.

Those compilation albums are a great way to promote "forgotten" great songs not known to the general public.

Ditto !

I can see your point, i'm not a fan of the NOW albums either. But i suppose its spreading HMH to a wider audience??

but.... MJ's songs can be found in many complilations

Just take a look at this page: http://www.legalsounds.com/InspectCo...tist?__key=260

Some random examples:

Now 1984 (Farewell My Summer Love)
Billboard Top 100 Hits Of 2002 (Butterfly)
Bravo Super Show 96 Volume 3 (Ben)
Best Ballads 1995 (You are not alone)

[marebear]

I don't think it's a bad thing. There are lots of popular artists or songs on Now cds.

[morsmordre]

Maybe I'm missing something but what are NOW compilations ??

[IvoryKeys]

the first now compilation came out in 83, WAAAAY before the 90's.

Wow, I must be showing my age here, but the first Now album I remember at all that didn't have any numbers attached to it came out in like...'99 or something? And it was simply called "NOW thats what I call music", and then a year later we had NOW that's what I call music 2. Right?

....or am I completely off on this?

Lol... i'm confused myself. i thought the number indicates the year of release. For instance, if the NOW collection is relased in 1997. It's called NOW That's What I Call Music 97. Guess, I'm wrong...

Haha... I don't own any NOW compilation. Before iTune, I prefer buying studio albums of artists I like. After iTune, I just download the song I like.

"Now That's What I Call Music!" originated in the U.K. in the early eighties. The U.S. version has different music on it and didn't come out until 1998. The U.K. version has released over 70 CDs whereas the U.S. version has just over 30.
