The first two volumes were not released on compact disc, and all subsequent releases were either single, double, or triple disc sets. The series is then moved forward again, with the release of Now Yearbook 1992 in July 2023 (an Extra followed in August). Another strand of the Now Yearbook series, in August 2022, is the somewhat experimental release of a limited edition, extended play, 7" vinyl single, containing 2 tracks each from the 1983 and 1984 Yearbooks. Good selection, not forgotten for the likes of me but may be for a lot of people who grew up in the 80's.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. 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. 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. The latter contains a new retro-70s Now logo design and artwork which complements its 80s sister Yearbook series.

It is hard to think now that a rock track would get to Number 1 these days, but Europe did it with 'The Final Countdown' in 1986, and Survivor did too with 'Eye of the Tiger'. The presentation of each release has evolved notably over time: from 1986 through to 2013, all double and triple CD sets were released in chubby Jewel cases which could hold up to 6 discs. November 2023) 33 tracks with only Kate Bush and Lil Louis missing, although Lil Louis was just a bonus track on the original CD version and did not appear on the vinyl and magnetic cassette versions. 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. The Yearbook series are 4-CD and 3-LP vinyl sets, each representing a year of music, which launched in June 2021.You can now gorge yourself on 100 Number 1s from the decade that brought you shoulder pads, ra ra skirts and the Sony Walkman. 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. About three cds worth of songs here are the usual 'appears on way too many compilations', but not in the configuration presented here. Ok, there are some big international hits here that even your grandmother knows, but not as many as the previous Now Forgotten 80s nightmare. The compilation comes in a special edition box, and includes an 80s pop quiz booklet, making it the perfect gift for any pop fan!

It was also a big decade for the one hit wonders such as Aneka with 'Japanese Boy', the trained opera singer put on a wig, released a novelty track and bagged herself a Number 1.A further release, The Final Chapter, a deluxe 4-CD and 3-LP set, was issued in December 2022, rounding off the Yearbook years 1980 to 1984.
