Over three decades, almost a hundred albums and hundreds of millions in sales later, triannual pop compilation album Now That's What I Call Music has become a bit of an institution, at least in the UK. And, with a bit of a karaoke revival taking place, it was only a matter of time before the series spread to the Playstation 4 and Xbox One, in the form of last year's Now That's What I Call Sing. Having seemingly staked its place in the market, it's now time for a sequel, with Now That's What I Call Sing 2 promising a bumper song list packed full of thirty pop-tastic hits, from Justin Bieber and Coldplay to Jason Derulo and 5 Seconds of Summer.
Of course, it is worth remembering that Now That's What I Call Sing 2 is the UK name for the game, with other regions referring to it as Let's Sing 2017. The games and song lists, as far as we can see, are exactly the same.
The full 30 song-strong song list is as follows:

With a selection of modes on offer which see you facing off against your friends to crown the karaoke king, trying your best to sing along as the music and lyrics randomly cut out, or working together with your mates in a kind of relay as you pass the microphone around, each singing a section, there's plenty of variety on offer too.
