Description

NOW THAT’S WHAT I CALL MUSIC Now Yearbook 1985-1989: The Final Chapter Deluxe Hardcover Edition 2026 UK/EU 79-track 4-CD set – the concluding volume in the acclaimed 80s Yearbook series brings together 79 tracks that complete the 1985-1989 story. Housed in hardback ‘book’ packaging, this special edition includes a 28-page booklet featuring detailed notes on every track, placing the hits in context and reflecting the remarkable breadth of the era. The set openswith Queen’s ‘Who Wants To Live Forever’, flowing into the chart-topping ‘West End Girls’ from Pet Shop Boys and polished pop from Eurythmics. Across four discs, the collection moves confidently between synth-pop, arena rock, alternative chart staples and club-floor anthems. Disc Two balances ballads and alternative crossover moments, from Freddie Mercury’s ‘The Great Pretender’ and Heart’s ‘Alone’ through to defining tracks by R.E.M., The Cure and New Order. Disc Three opens with Bruce Springsteen’s ‘Dancing In The Dark’, before branching into rock from Bon Jovi, glossy pop from Belinda Carlisle and dance-floor cuts from Cameo and Bomb The Bass. The final disc celebrates late-80s chart culture in full colour, from Stock Aitken Waterman productions to the #1 charity single ‘Living Doll’ led by Cliff Richard. A comprehensive document of the second half of the 1980s decade. Factory sealed)
