American Idol creator, Simon Fuller is planning to make a TV show based on the ‘Now That’s What I Call Music’ compilation albums.

The Now albums are a vital part of any self respecting teenagers life, and Fuller is hoping to bring that success to the small screen, in America to start with.

“This show will be nothing like American Idol,” he said. “It will be a new take on music programming.”

It is expected that the programme will create its own “interactive” chart and promote unsigned or up-and-coming acts.

“A lot of people are buying Now as their guide to what is happening in the music world over the last few months,” Bob Mercer, CEO of the brand, told Billboard magazine.

“The intent is to take that brand and that trust in that brand and establish it as a TV show with the same elements.”

The show feature performances by artists whose songs appeared on the compilations, both live and previously recorded.

“We’ll probably form our own pop chart so the public can be involved,” he added.

Viewers will also be able to upload their own videos to the show’s website, in an attempt to find the “next Now artist”.
