UK rap hits from Bad Boy Chiller Crew and Tion Wayne x La Roux feature, alongside dance-pop from Ava Max and Steps… plus airplay hits from Paolo Nutini, Florence + The Machine and Miley Cyrus.

They all vary from one to five disc compilations (occasionally six disc), starting in 1986 and continuing to the present day (Jan 2023).

The year 1984 followed, but after this, the series rewound its year of focus, issuing collections that went from 1982 and backwards into the late 1970s.The 4-CD series follows the same general format of the original Special Editions series, with genre, era, and decade collections, but over four compact discs (there is also an abridged vinyl version of Punk and New Wave and Rock), meaning they contain more tracks than the original special editions, but fewer than the Now 100 Hits, which preceded this series. Dance tracks from David Guetta, Anne Marie and Coi Leray and Leigh-Ann keep the party going, before the hit ‘Waffle House’ from the Jonas Brothers and OneRepublic’s airplay smash ‘RUNAWAY’ give way to Tom Grennan and Niall Horan. 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.

The frequency in which they were released also varied from year to year; initially, and most frequently across the series, there would be one Now Dance volume per year, but in 1994 for example, there were four volumes released, and in 1996, there weren't any Now Dance compilations released.
