Here’s another fun fact: If you invite me to your wedding and don’t play “24K Magic,” I am taking my gift back.It’s a tradition that began when Now 11 included “Days Go By” by Dirty Vegas, or as you probably know it, “that song that was in that Mitsubishi commercial with the dancing lady. It goes from “Lean wit It, Rock wit It” by Dem Franchize Boyz to “Stay Fly” by Three 6 Mafia to “I’m Sprung” by T-Pain. Taking those questions into account and assigning each song an Essential Score, I—again, I am the authority here, which is valid because as Now doctrine states, all people who started the sixth grade three or four years before or after the first Now are Now experts—averaged those numbers to arrive at an Essential Score.
