Can You Identify The Now That’s What I Call Music Album?

by  • 

It’s the 30th anniversary of the “Now That’s What I Call Music” album series – but how well do you know this particular slice of musical history?

Just to be clear, we’re talking about the UK album series only. As a helpful guide, the first was in November 1983, the most recent one is Now 86, and Now 50 came out in November 2001. There have consistently been three Nows a year since 1992 – before that it varied between 1, 2 and 3 a year.

    Now That’s What I Call Music 75

    Released March 2010, at the height of what historians will look back on as “the Glee era”.

  10. 10. From Robyn to Nickelback in one album. Oh, Now, how you taunt us.

    Now That’s What I Call Music 69

    Released March 2008. It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, and it had a Nickelback song in it what was even worse.

  11. 11. Which one had hit after hit after depressing anthem of alienation after hit?


    1. Now 39


    2. Now 44


    3. Now 49


    4. Now 53

    Now That’s What I Call Music 39

    Released April 1998. Also featured: The Verve’s “Lucky Man”, “It’s Like That” by Run-D.M.C. vs. Jason Nevins, Steps’ “5,6,7,8”, Wildchild’s “Renegade Master ‘98” and both “Angels” AND “Let Me Entertain You” from Robbie Williams. We think there’s a strong argument that this is the greatest Now ever.
