Now Parlez 9

Steve Binnie1987 • Music • Mixcloud • Now Parlez

Join Steve and Julian as they take time out from their weekly Off The Chart show to rummage in the back of the wardrobe for another Now album! This time they’re playing tracks from Now That’s What I Call Music 9 and talking about the album, the track selection, the ongoing Now sweatshirt sales campaign and just what that sleeve design is meant to be. Hit PLAY to hear about the song with two videos that still flopped, the oldest song to appear on a Now album, and the single that got to number one by mistake.

Join us on Mixcloud Select and you can download this episode to listen to offline at your leisure! You also get early access to future episodes of Now Parlez, as well as the exclusive Virtual CD Of The Month, the weekly extended deluxe edition of Off The Chart and the additional show Further Off The Chart every ten weeks, and you’ll be supporting Sound of the Crowd and the artists who make the music we play. Can’t be bad, right?
