This is a list of available actual and physical albums belonging to the official 1983 Now That's What I Call Music!

UK series, comprising: compact discs (CD), magnetic audio cassettes (AC), vinyl (LP), VHS tape, DVD and on other short-lived formats.

Starting from vinyl and magnetic audio cassettes, the series adapted to the rise of compact discs (CDs) and explored various formats like DVDs, MiniDiscs, and videos.

From the release of Now 102 in 2019 to Now 118 in 2024, the corresponding Now album from 100 volumes prior would be re-compiled and re-issued on double-CD sets on the same day.

In 2021, the original concept of Now Dance was revived with a new series of compilations containing 12" remixes released under the title, Now That's What I Call 12" 80s.

These editions span various music genres, eras, and decades, featuring collaborations with entities such as Smash Hits, Disney, Eurovision, HMV, and the Official Chart Company.

They are only issued in cardboard gatefold wallets, with a slot cut into each sleeve which stores the discs.

The Yearbook series are 4-CD and 3-LP vinyl sets, each representing a year of music, which launched in June 2021.

Each release is issued as a limited edition mini-hardback book, with the CDs in sleeves forming the pages of the 'yearbook' which contains an introductory overview of the year, original 7" single artwork, trivia, chart positions and a quiz.

A standard 4-CD version is also issued in a gatefold "wallet" design, which retails cheaper than the mini-hardback books.

A triple-CD only release, Yearbook Extra: The Collectors Edition, is issued a few weeks later; these include lesser known tracks and more songs by big artists included on the main album and they are released only in standard gatefold wallet packaging.

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.

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, Simon Bates and Jenny Powell presenting.

The Now Millennium series are 4-CD and 2-LP vinyl sets, each representing a year of music, which launched in June 2023.

Compilations were released for English-language markets in Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, and Hong Kong.
