The NOW That's What I Call Music! albums are a series of compilation albums featuring well-known songs from various singers — often those who are popular in the charts at the time of release, though with the occasional old classic included as well. They are often sold through mail order advertisements. The albums were first released in the United Kingdom and in Ireland, but the popularity of the albums has led to them being released across the world. The NOW! brand is owned by Universal Music Group and Sony Music Entertainment.The extensive discography can be found here on Wikipedia. | |

Abandoned Mascot | |
| NOW That's What I Call Music! (Music) / int_2e49c238 | comment |
Abandoned Mascot: The NOW! albums used to have a pig mascot that was taken from a Danish bacon advertisement. The pig stopped being used after the fifth UK album until it came back for the 100th UK album. | |

Early-Installment Weirdness | |
| NOW That's What I Call Music! (Music) / int_4f4372e9 | comment |
Early-Installment Weirdness: Early on, the albums used roman numerals for some (but not all) of the titles. The earliest albums didn't have the famous exclamation mark. Later albums put the exclamation mark after the word "NOW", which caused the title to be broken up awkwardly. It wasn't until volume 20 of the UK series that the exclamation mark got put in the place it is now. The NOW! albums are one of the major CD retainers in the age of digital, possibly being an example of Later Installment Weirdness, but the first few UK albums were released on cassette tape, even though CDs were in use at the time. The idea was to create more B-sides by using cassettes, which has definitely been scrapped, since they already had 2 tapes (the albums mostly do contain 2-4 discs, but that would have been like a 8-side). The releases of UK albums 102 through 109 were accompanied by CD releases of 2 through 9, allowing collectors to fill out the missing CD gaps (10 was the first to be released as a full two disc set, while 1 had seen a CD release for the series' 25th anniversary). | |

That's What I Call | |
| NOW That's What I Call Music! (Music) / int_523552fc | comment |
That's What I Call "X"!: The album proudly states that the contents are what it calls "music". The shortened title NOW That's Music! plays with this by objectively stating that it is music, and not just that it's called that. | |

Spotlight-Stealing Squad | |
| NOW That's What I Call Music! (Music) / int_76a5eaf8 | comment |
Spotlight-Stealing Squad: for a stretch in the late 2000s, the NOW albums were practically the only ones on the market that could sell in consistently high numbers, to the point where each release would dominate the album charts for months at a time until the next instalment appeared (this was also true in the late 1980s when the series began, but album sales were far higher across the board at the time and so the effect was less noticeable). This was explicitly cited by the Official Charts Company as the impetus behind the creation of the Top 40 Compilations sub-chart, which hived off the series (and other "various artists" compilations like it) to a separate rundown. | |

Shout-Out | |
| NOW That's What I Call Music! (Music) / int_c75df49a | comment |
Shout-Out: The title of the series and the abandoned pig mascot are references to a Danish bacon advertisement from the 1920s that had a pig saying "Now. That's What I Call Music" in response to a singing chicken. | |
