For the 30th anniversary of Now in 2013 and the release of Now 100 in Summer 2018, the first Now album was re-compiled and re-issued. The Yearbook series are 4-CD and 3-LP vinyl sets, each representing a year of music, which launched in June 2021. The original Now Dance series began in 1985 and has been released in a variety of titles, formats, and release frequency. 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. The presentation of each release has evolved notably over time: from 1986 through to 2013, all double and triple CD sets were released in chubby Jewel cases which could hold up to 6 discs.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.

The inaugural album graced the United Kingdom's music scene in 1983, with the United States following suit in 1998. The series is then moved forward again, with the release of Now Yearbook 1992 in July 2023 (an Extra followed in August).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 presenting.
