NOW That's What I Call Music!, Vol. 70 Various Artists

Glad they put middle child on here NOW needs some hip hop

I have been a long time collector of these albums for over 6 years and I am very disappointed with this tracklist. Ever since "65", the albums have been including less and less big hits and more minor hits. While pop music is declining on the charts, with rap being more popular, the albums shouldn’t include songs with very low peaks and definitely not songs without a chart run. For example, "Giant", didn’t chart on the Hot 100, Bubbling Under, or Mainstream Top 40 chart, so imo it shouldn’t have been here. Other songs such as "Last Hurrah”, “365”, "Rainbow", "Walk Me Home", and "Swan Song", had low chart runs on the Hot 100 or are just starting their chart runs. Songs such as "Sucker", "Please Me", "Sweet But Psycho", "Wow", "Be Alright", "Talk", hell, even "Lost in the Fire", "Mia" or "Going Bad" would’ve been better entries. Other entries such as "Thank U, Next", "Undrunk", "I’ve Been Waiting", "Middle Child", "Dancing with a Stranger", and my favorite "Bad Liar" were all great choices. I hope to see something better come out of Now 71.

I always look forward to these because they always have the clean versions of songs. The clean versions of Who Do You Love and Undrunk aren’t on Spotify, and I’ve Been Waiting doesn’t even have a clean version. Now I’ll be able to add those 3 to my playlist once this is released!
