List of Now That's What I Call Music! albums

This is a list of known albums and DVDs belonging to the various Now That's What I Call Music! series. They are categorised by series (country), then ordered by date.

Although there is some overlap in content between albums in different series released around the same date, there are still often differences in format (e.g. the U.S. one-disc format versus the UK two-disc) as well as hits specific to a particular market.

The titles given here are the literal names as printed on the front cover. Thus, volumes 2 and 13 use Roman numerals and the exclamation mark first appears with volume 18 (changing to its present position from volume 20 onwards).

The first full-track edition to be released on compact disc was Volume 10. Vinyls ended with Now 35 and audio cassettes ended with Now 63. Part of the series was also released on the Mini Disc format, beginning with Now 43 and ending with Now 48.

Some of the albums have also been released on video. Volumes 1 through 18 and 20 were released on VHS. The first two albums were also issued on Laser-disc. Every video tape had a typical running time of roughly 1 hour. From 2001 to 2007, the videos were published on DVD with a frequency of one per year. The DVDs are numbered by year and not linked to album numbers. Now 2006 was released on UMD as well as DVD.

The series release dates below represent the date of release in the United Kingdom. Through the release of Now 90 on 30 March 2015, the release date in Ireland was three days before the UK release. Beginning with the release of Now 91 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.
