In December 2007, the Nonesuch Store opened at nonesuch.com with just a couple of new releases. Now, nine years later, the store has grown to include hundreds of new and classic Nonesuch albums. To celebrate this anniversary, everything now on the site that's out now—CDs, LPs, DVDs, MP3s, FLAC, and merchandise; pre-orders excluded—is 15% off our everyday low prices. That's 15% off the already discounted prices listed on the site on hundreds of CDs, dozens of recordings on vinyl, some unforgettable DVDs, and hundreds of MP3s—including classic recordings no longer in print—and, for digital audiophiles, scores of FLAC lossless and HD FLAC files too; plus our new line of Nonesuch merchandise. The total savings will be reflected at checkout.

Dutch composer Louis Andriessen has been awarded The Marie-Josée Kravis Prize for New Music at the New York Philharmonic. The honor recognizes a composer for extraordinary artistic endeavor in the field of new music, and is one of the world's largest new-music prizes, consisting of $200,000 and a commission to compose a work for the New York Philharmonic. The Philharmonic will give the World Premiere of a new orchestral work by Andriessen in the 2018–19 season. Nonesuch Records President Robert Hurwitz offers an appreciation here.

The Magnetic Fields' 50 Song Memoir, chronicling the 50 years of songwriter Stephin Merritt's life with one song per year, is due March 10, 2017, on Nonesuch. Merritt sings vocals on all 50 songs and plays more than 100 instruments, from ukulele to piano to drum machine to abacus. Unlike his previous work, the lyrics are nonfiction—a mix of autobiography (bedbugs, Buddhism, buggery) and documentary (hippies, Hollywood, hyperacusis). Available in five-LP and five-CD editions including an extensive interview by Daniel Handler and facsimile handwritten lyrics by Merritt, and as a standalone bound book with a full-album download card. Pre-order to download one song from each decade now. For a limited time, Nonesuch Store pre-orders also come with an exclusive autographed print.

Nonesuch Records releases the three-CD box set The Randy Newman Songbook on December 16, 2016, following its recent release on vinyl.

Sixteen additional songs from a newly released third volume, along with five bonus tracks ("Feels Like Home," "A Wedding in Cherokee County," "Family Album: Homage to Alfred, Emil and Lionel Newman," "A Few Words in Defense of Our Country," and "I'm Dreaming"), join those first two volumes to create this new complete Songbook box set. Mitchell Froom produced The Randy Newman Songbook, Vol. 1 (which has been remastered for this box set) and was joined on Vol. 2 and Vol. 3 by Newman's lifelong friend and colleague Lenny Waronker. Pre-order to download "Guilty" now.
