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.Now Dance 92 (2 November 1992) Uniquely, 2-LP/2-MC/CD* with 12" mixes,*single CD with abridged tracklisting and 7" edits. July 2019) re-issued on 2-CD - 28 tracks with only Bob Marley and the Wailers and Gary Glitter missing.

Since the release of Now 102 in Easter 2019, the corresponding Now album from 100 volumes ago has been re-compiled and re-issued on 2-CD sets on the same day.

They are also notable as being the first time a Now series had released a compilation of hits from the years 1980 to 1982. The first sixteen volumes were all released on the same date, with the final four being issued four months later. Nikki Tranter of PopMatters says, "Universal releasing no less than 11 editions indicates just how rapidly brand new hits become stale oldies. It also features enduring favourites from Sinead O'Connor, Billy Ocean and Billy Idol, and iconic pop classics from Vanessa Paradis, Bananarama, and a stunning performance of 'Candle In The Wind' from Elton John.

The series is then moved forward again, with the release of Now Yearbook 1992 in July 2023 (an Extra followed in August).
