Oh the Eighties; dodgy mullet memories, perms perfect for poodles and enough Lycra to make Mr Motivator blush. Although there were parts of the Eighties we’d prefer to forget, there is no denying it was the ultimate decade for pop music, it even gave us the NOW Music compilation series in 1983. Following on from their album NOW Forgotten 80s, which earlier this year shone a light on all those amazing tracks we didn’t even realise we missed, NOW 100 Hits Even More Forgotten 80s is here to delve even deeper into the earworms of the 80s, with a healthy dose of nostalgia mixed in.
Tracks include queen of the decade Kim Wilde’s Chequered Love to Aussie favourite Jason Donavon’s Sealed With A Kiss to everybody’s favourite girl group Bananarama’s Nathan Jones, through to classic feel-good dance tracks I Can Make You Feel Good by Shalamar and Mama Used to Say by Junior.
So, whether you were dancing in your bedroom with a hairbrush in hand, singing along to your favourite heartthrobs or down at the disco pulling out the running man then NOW Music has something for you. With an almighty 100 tracks, this compilation will have you grooving from dusk until dawn, reliving your memories and creating new ones, proving the Eighties really is the decade to beat.
And if you’re looking for even more of an 80s experience, Now That’s What I Call Music Live 80s will be touring across the UK so you can sing, dance and party along to all your favourite hits in a live concert. Presented by Gary Davies and Mark Goodier and performed by a powerhouse live band with sensational singers Sandy Grigelis, Paige Cook and Shellyann, this will be a night you won’t forget.

Here We ProsecGO Again – Aldi’s Sell-Out Methuselah Available Now
Aldi’s 6 litre Methuselah of Prosecco has made a much-anticipated re-appearance, just in time for the festive party season
The giant bottle of bubbly sold out in a day last Christmas
Bubbly fans can rejoice, as Aldi’s supersized Methuselah of Prosecco (£99.99) has made a hotly anticipated comeback this Christmas – after selling out in just 24 hours last year.
The enormous six-litre bottle holds an equivalent of EIGHT 75cl bottles and contains a Prosecco that’s light, fun and frothy – with notes of parma violets, ripe pear and papaya, as well as having a soft and well-balanced palate. Those looking to get the party started will be able to get their hands on this mammoth bottle of vino on the supermarket’s online wine store now.
But whilst the massive Methuselah definitely makes a statement, the fizz can be a little fickle to open! Which is why Aldi‘s Wine Expert, Mistress of Wine Sam Caporn, is here to help – with a helpful guide on how to safely pop open your Methuselah:
Step 1: Chilling your Methuselah
We all know that it’s vital to chill your bottle of bubbly before serving, but if you don‘t have the luxury of a completely empty fridge, getting your Methuselah cool can be a little trickier than your average bottle. I’d recommend chilling your Methuselah in a large bucket filled with ice, or leaving it outside if it’s nice and cold, to get that lovely cool fizz.
Step 2: Popping the cork
Whether it’s a normal size bottle or a Methuselah – it’s important that you open the bottle safely to avoid any flying corks. For this larger bottle, I’d say this is definitely a two-man job, so grab a pal and follow the below:
First remove the muzzle – but make sure you keep hold of the cork at all times (this is the key to avoiding any accidents)
Now its time for a little help from your friends – one of you needs to hold the base of the bottle while the other looks after the neck
Pointing away from the party of people, twist the bottle (and not the cork) until the cork gently loosens
Step 3: Pouring the Prosecco
Again this is a two man-job – so you’ll need a friend (one holding the base and one holding the neck). The main thing is to take it slow to avoid any spills and wastage. Some people like to pour their Methuselah into decanters – but personally I think that takes a bit of the fun (and froth) out of it!
Step 4: Enjoy
This one is easy – you know what to do!

The perfect collaboration for your little ones this Christmas.
