Now That's What I Call Music! 60

Product Information

The Now Yearbook series continues both forwards, with Now Yearbook 1985 issued in November 2022, and backwards, with the release of Now Yearbook 1979 in September 2022 (an Extra followed in October). November 2020) David Bowie, Patti Labelle and Michael McDonald, and the Real Roxanne are the tracks that are missing. Flip it over for classic hits from The Righteous Brothers, The Walker Brothers, Dionne Warwick plus Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin with ‘Je T’aime Moi Non Plus’.

Well I knew this Now album came out just in time for Easter, but I hadn't realised it was on this date. 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. Peter Kay really made this song come to life with an all star audience in the music video all for comic relief.Certain items can take longer to source than the estimated week, particularly during busy trading periods and may take longer to arrive at our warehouse.

A triple-CD only release, Yearbook Extra: The Collectors Edition, is issued a few weeks later; these include lesser known tracks and more songs by big artists included on the main album and they are released only in standard gatefold wallet packaging. The 4-CD series follows the same general format of the original Special Editions series, with genre, era, and decade collections, but over four compact discs (there is also an abridged vinyl version of Punk and New Wave and Rock), meaning they contain more tracks than the original special editions, but fewer than the Now 100 Hits, which preceded this series.

Despite Darius – Live Twice being my second fave of course, I went with Stereophonics - Dakota, definitely a big anthem and my fave Stereophonics song! Since the release of Now 102 in Easter 2019, the corresponding Now album from 100 volumes ago has been re-compiled and re-issued on 2-CD sets on the same day.

The first two volumes were not released on compact disc, and all subsequent releases were either single, double, or triple disc sets.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. If an internal link led you here, you may wish to change the link to point directly to the intended article. A great selection of underrated dance hits towards the end of the disc too, alongside 'Falling Stars'/'Out Of Touch' earlier on which I also love. 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. The frequency in which they were released also varied from year to year; initially, and most frequently across the series, there would be one Now Dance volume per year, but in 1994 for example, there were four volumes released, and in 1996, there weren't any Now Dance compilations released.

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). They all vary from one to five disc compilations (occasionally six disc), starting in 1986 and continuing to the present day (Jan 2023).July 2019) re-issued on 2-CD - 28 tracks with only Bob Marley and the Wailers and Gary Glitter missing. That exceeded the previous best for this year, held by David Bowie’s Blackstar, which sold 146,000 copies in its opening week after the star’s untimely death in January. To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. As Billboard reports: "all 59 of the numbered volumes have charted in the top 10 of the Billboard 200, including 18 No. album features cuts by Calvin Harris featuring Rihanna, Sia featuring Kendrick Lamar, Britney Spears and the actor-turned-musician Hailee Steinfeld.
