Anastacia - Made For Lovin' You
Right Said Fred - You're My Mate
Cosmic Gate - Fire Wire
Honeyz - I Don't Know
Tall Paul vs INXS - Precious Heart - Just an update:-
Afroman - Because I Got High; isn't quite "censored", where the one or two of the profanity words are still there but you can hear them faintly... - CD 1; Track 4: Bob the Builder - Mambo No. 5; that song is an edited version. Because the album version is about 20 or 30 seconds longer. (If not mistaken)
- Sophie Ellis-Bextor's "Take Me Home" is probably a special version for this compilation. I can't find any other place this 3:13 version appears – and you can hear a really bad edit at 2:39.
- i have this and i must say it is one of my favorite compilation albums i have in my collection! too bad that nowadays music taste has changed a lot ... i miss the 90's decade and millenium releases! back then music was totally different than it is now tbh!
- What is the version of "21 Seconds" they've used? It's 2:43, and the Radio Edit on the single was 3:54, which was also used on the Promo CD. I wonder if the Now! compilers edited it down specially?
