Now That’s What I Call Music! has released its 100th edition, 35 years after the 1st CD came out.

Since 1983, three compilations have been released each year, anthologising the biggest hits in the UK that year.

According to the BBC, the average UK household boasts four Now albums, and the series has remained successful through a number of changes in how we consume music - from vinyl, cassette, CDs, Mini-Disc and digital downloads to streaming. The albums have sold more than 120m copies across 60 countries.

The series began on vinyl in 1983, starring songs such as Culture Club’s "Karma Chameleon" and Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the Heart".

The 100th edition follows the traditional double disc format, but disc two will be made up of 21 “classic hits”, charting how pop music has evolved over 35 years. It includes classics such as UB40's "Red Red Wine" and also a more recent "classic" - Justin Bieber's "Love Yourself". You've also got favourites such as "Wannabe" by the Spice Girls and Bon Jovi's "Livin' On A Prayer".
