Brilliant selections @manloveuk
Spice Girls singles release pattern rarely worked in favour of a Now release, it always seemed by the time a Now was out, Spice Girls were already onto their next big single.NOW 35 came out a few weeks before 2 Become 1 did. I feel like they should have had it on 36 and then had Mama be on 37 along with Who Do you Think You Are, but I guess they wanted Mama as it was more current having only been released 3 weeks prior whereas 2 Become 1 was 3 months old by that point.
I don't recall John Lennon 'Nobody told me' being a hit in 1984? If so, why?
Nobody Told Me was top 10 in January but quick in and out I think. Not also on Now 2?
The two that stick out are the inclusion of the Pretenders non hit and Motown’s dodgy Jacko barely top 40 single.
Yep, as @Blaahh says, it went in and out very swiftly. Debuted at 11 (on the back of being the first brand new/unheard Lennon since his death), rose to 6 but didn't hang around (probably because it was very ordinary).
Nope, it could easily have been but NOW 2 had enough old codgers as it was! (Slade, Macca, Stones, Bowie).
Note: Swimming horses followed by Seven Seas!NOW 1984 extra coming 14th January. Another 60 tracks
