NOW Thats What I Call Music! 6

Product Information

Towards the end of the series, 3-CD digipak sets were issued, but in 2010, the long-running title was retired, and all subsequent dance-themed Now collections have been issued under the Special Editions series. Today’s computer generated trash is not in the same stratosphere as what the ‘Now’ team were creating 35 years ago.

The latter contains a new retro-70s Now logo design and artwork which complements its 80s sister Yearbook series. 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. EMI and Virgin were the real winners as their first Now spin off – The Christmas Album reached the summit on 21 December 1985.Ashley Abram does a great job with the song flow; record 1 contains the big tunes and the more established artists while record 2 features a more idiosyncratic selection along with a most enjoyable dance side. You requested a very large number of pages in a very short time, causing problems for our server (this can happen if you hit 'refresh' over and over). 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.

These were all released on CD and magnetic cassette, but with the 1993 and 1994 volumes also being released on the vinyl format. For the majority of tracks listed above, there are multiple compilations and releases that include the 7″ versions. Phil Collins crowns a most successful year with another duet; this time with a woman – Marilyn Martin – and the emotional Separate Lives. Now 6 was originally released in November 1985 and was the biggest selling ‘Now’ at that point in time.Election Day was the first fruit and is an exotic belter complete with a mid-section spoke word piece from Grace Jones. Bit of a nostalgic purchase for me; this was the first 'Now' compilation album I owned back in 1985 when it was released (although that was a cassette! With an astounding global sales figure of over 250 million copies, this franchise has solidified its place as a cultural phenomenon and an essential cornerstone of contemporary music consumption. on 24 July 2015, the release dates in the UK and Ireland have been the same following the announcement of the Global Release Day campaign by IFPI, which became effective on 10 July 2015. I personally think the pig should have stayed longer too but the compilers obviously had a good reason for discontinuing it I guess.

Nevertheless I am sure that Nik was delighted to see his first eight singles compiled on albums such as these. The Yearbook series are 4-CD and 3-LP vinyl sets, each representing a year of music, which launched in June 2021. 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.On my original copy of Now 6 the inner sleeve had images of the first 5 volumes and of Now Dance on one side and the tracklistings on the other.

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). The reverse of the sleeve has a bold statement “Feel the quality” and the paper inners contain cover art and tracklists for the previous releases in the series. All series with the exception of United Kingdom and the United States have been discontinued, New Zealand had two more albums released as a playlist only on Spotify, South Africa had three more albums released as a playlist on Spotify under DJ Kurtis. Many of these artists have gone on to become global superstars such as Billie Eilish, Shawn Mendes, Walk The Moon, Maggie Rogers, Rae Sremmurd, Zara Larsson, Jacob Whitesides, and Tate McRae. 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.I don’t think anyone disputes nowadays that the last line is definitely sung as ‘ fried chicken‘, right? album, from June to August in 1993, a series of ten, 40-track yearly collections were released on CD and cassette (but not vinyl), covering the years 1983 to 1992.
