Now That’s What I Call Music spotlights 1993 for the next release in their ongoing Yearbook series.

This year was actually brilliant, with classics from ’80s’ pop bands who were making it work in the 1990s, including Duran Duran (‘Ordinary World’, ‘Come Undone’), a-ha (‘Dark is the Night For All’), Tears For Fears (‘Break It Down Again’) and Pet Shop Boys (‘Can You Forgive Her’, ‘Go West’) along with emerging bands such as Suede (‘So Young’), Radiohead (‘Creep’) and even the Manic Street Preachers, whose ‘From Despair to Where’ was the first single from their second album, Gold Against The Soul.

There are classic artists still mixing it with ‘the kids’ (Paul McCartney’s ‘Hope of Deliverance’, Sting’s ‘Fields of Gold’, Billy Joel’s ‘River of Dreams’ and Meatloaf‘s ‘I’d Do Anything For Love (But I Won’t Do That)’ and then ‘the kids’ themselves including Take That (‘Pray’, ‘Relight My Fire’), East 17 (‘Deep’), The Spin Doctors (‘Two Princes’), Ugly Kid Joe (‘Cats in the Cradle’), D:Ream (‘Unforgiven’), The Beloved (‘Sweet Harmony’), Jamiroquai (‘Too Young Too Die’) and the like.

In between, there’s songs like Crowded House’s ‘Distant Sun’, R.E.M.’s ‘The Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite’, New Order’s ‘Regret’, Paul Weller‘s ‘Wild Wood’, Lenny Kravitz’s ‘Are You Gonna Go My Way’, Paul Young’s ‘Now I Know What Made Otis Blue’ and many more. Full tracklistings, below.

Ususal formats: 4CD deluxe in hardcover book, 3LP coloured vinyl and standard card sleeved 4CD set. Now Yearbook 1993 will be released on 28 June 2024.
