Now That’s What I Call Music! 86

Product Information

The Now Yearbook series also releases a vinyl selection of its primary release, with an Extra round-up vinyl boxset featuring tracks from the CD-only series, released at the end of 2022. I See Fire, Take Back The Night, Things We Lost In The Fire, All Night, and You Know You Like It are also good but are easily forgettable for the most part (especially when compared to each artists other big songs from around this time).

The term Various Artists is used in the record industry when numerous singers and musicians collaborate on a song or collection of songs. Released in association with the Official Chart Company to "celebrate 70 years of the official UK singles chart". Jermaine Stewart’s We Don’t Have To Take Our Clothes Off works much better in smaller [7″] doses while Status Quo’s In The Army Now and that Cutting Crew ballad fit in quite well despite their overplayed status. 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.And Diana Ross’s Chain Reaction which had already featured on Hits 4 and the most recent Now Dance in extended form. A very odd inclusion it has to be said, i wasn't expecting this song at all, not only is this the first appearance for the Arctic Monkeys on a Now! 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. The fastest selling artist album of 2013 so far is Daft Punk’s Random Access Memories, which clocked up more than 165,000 copies in its first week on sale back in May.

Seven of them had already appeared on Now 7, five tracks would feature on Now 8 with the remaining four being “exclusive” to Now’s main series.
