It also doesn’t have any massive hits—“Closing Time” was the album’s longest-charting song at 37 weeks on the Hot 100—which is why this bizarre conglomeration of songs is ranked so low. Mayer appears on Now 28 twice—on his own song “Say” and as the featured artist on a cursed cover of “Beat It” by Fall Out Boy that I had erased from my memory. The performance has mostly been scrubbed from the internet (which makes sense), but you can still read this breakdown by Vulture of all the absurd gestures Karmin made during it, which is probably better than actually rewatching the thing. It also has a shocking amount of forgettable songs, like Aerosmith’s “Just Push Play,” “Caramel” by City High, and “Lights, Camera, Action!The United Kingdom series has 100 albums and has been in circulation since 1983; the old country has known what music is for much longer. Since that day we have had help in determining what is and what is not music (now), in the form of triannual installments in the Now series. The series is then moved forward again, with the release of Now Yearbook 1992 in July 2023 (an Extra followed in August). I’m beginning to suspect that T-Pain has a problem interpreting the messages sent to him by various strippers. Have you ever listened to the lyrics of “Something Just Like This,” the Chainsmokers/Coldplay song that’s on Now 63?

I'll be starting at 7:30pm with pre-party from 6:30-45ish for people to play whatever they fancy or some omissions from the album.

In the universe of A Star Is Born (assuming that Now exists in that universe), I’m guessing that “Maybe It’s Time” ended up in one of the country slots on an early Now. on October 27, 1998, was a turning point, a moment when the chaos of the auditory world was silenced; when consensus was reached by the mere declaration that nay, this—a collection of 17 contemporary songs—was music.
