Now That's What I Call Music! 100

 
The landmark moment in pop history has arrived with the release of the 100th compilation in the series.

The first in the series was released in 1983 - since then over 2,000 artists have appeared on the iconic compilations with UK record sales over 100 million.

NOW100 features 2 discs:

The first celebrates the big tracks at the moment such as One Kiss from Calvin Harris and Dua Lipa, Shotgun from George Ezra, Solo by Clean Bandit and If You're Over Me from Years and Years. Looking through the rest of the acts on the first CD I can't see anyone who was even born then.

The second disc remembers some of the classic tracks that have graced the NOW compilations over the last 35 years, such as Wannabe from The Spice Girls, Angels from Robbie Williams, Reach from S Club 7 and Sing from Ed Sheeran amongst others.

NOW1 has been re-issued on CD, cassette and vinyl to celebrate this record breaking occasion and to reflect on how NOW has evolved over the years.

There will also be the NOW music App where you will be able to listen to all 100 NOW albums.

Here is to the next 100 editions!
