An earlier compilation tie-in with Smash Hits from 1987 did, however, include tracks from those years. Now Dance – a series in its own right, these compilations originally consisted of 12" mixes of current hits. On 26 April 2010, Now Mix 2010 was released, which includes dance versions of popular songs in a non-stop mix format.

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. 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. on 24 July 2015, the release dates in the UK and Ireland have been the same following the announcement of the Global Release Day campaign by IFPI, which became effective on 10 July 2015.
