About this deal

Each numerical NOW release also features "NOW Presents What's Next" tracks, previewing tomorrow's biggest hits. Some of them have unique track listings and are not related to similarly themed collections already issued on compact disc, however, more recent releases have been 'selections' taken from a larger CD collection (Rock, for example). Stay, Can't Hold Us, High Hopes ( ), Love Like This, Young And Beautiful, On Top Of The World, and Fall Down are songs I each love to varying amounts but I'm not surprised to see most of them missing. They all vary from one to five disc compilations (occasionally six disc), starting in 1986 and continuing to the present day (Jan 2023).

On the back of the cover in the CD1 list, Track 1 credits Pharrell Williams's full name but on Track 2, Pharrell Williams's surname is missing. UK series, comprising: compact discs (CD), magnetic audio cassettes (AC), vinyl ( LP), VHS tape, DVD, and on other short-lived formats. These compilations are very similar to the anniversary series, however, they contain a lower amount of tracks and retailed much cheaper than the former series. You can change your choices at any time by visiting Cookie preferences, as described in the Cookie notice.Originally, the series captured extended 12" mixes of dance hits of the time, but from 1991 onwards, all Now Dance compilations featured 7" edits with only occasional extended versions or mixes included. November 2020) David Bowie, Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald, and the Real Roxanne are the tracks that are missing.

The Special Editions series includes a wide range of Now anniversary collections, different music genres, eras, and decades, as well as commercial tie-ins with Smash Hits, Disney, Eurovision, HMV and the Official Chart Company.The first two volumes were not released on compact disc, and all subsequent releases were either single, double, or triple disc sets. A standard 4-CD version is also issued in a gatefold "wallet" design, which retails cheaper than the mini-hardback books. Each release is issued as a limited edition mini-hardback book, with the CDs in sleeves forming the pages of the ' yearbook' which contains an introductory overview of the year, original 7" single artwork, trivia, chart positions and a quiz.

They are also notable as being the first time a Now series had released a compilation of hits from the years 1980 to 1982. There's a handful of omissions that I do enjoy as songs but are understandably missing for the most part.

Released in association with the Official Chart Company to "celebrate 70 years of the official UK singles chart". fm, compilation album tracks appear under the name of Various Artists erroneously because the individual artist is not listed in the album's ID3 information. For the 30th anniversary of Now in 2013 and the release of Now 100 in Summer 2018, the first Now album was re-compiled and re-issued. In November 2018, the Now team took over the " 100 Hits" brand from Demon Music Group, and in 2019 and 2020, the Special Editions series was effectively rested while 24 different Now 100 Hits compilations were issued in very quick succession, until the end of November 2020. I should score it less in fact for this is the second time surfboards have been used on the artwork for a Summer volume, previously seen on Now 64.

The series is then moved forward again, with the release of Now Yearbook 1992 in July 2023 (an Extra followed in August).

The Now Yearbook series also releases a vinyl selection of its primary release, with an Extra round-up vinyl boxset featuring tracks from the CD-only series, released at the end of 2022. But other than that it's a fantastic album with so many recent chart hits, but there are also quite a fair few songs missing. The tie-in television programmes are a month by month video playlist of tracks, from one year previously featured on a Now Yearbook album, with Bruno Brookes presenting.
