The NOW Yearbook series is back, taking you on a musical journey through one of the most dynamic years in pop with NOW - Yearbook 1998
Disc 1 opens with George Michael's 'Outside', followed by Cher's global smash 'Believe' which held the #1 spot for 7 weeks in the UK. RUN-DMC vs. Jason Nevins' dance-floor phenomenon 'It's Like That' also claimed the top spot, cementing itself as an era defining track. 'Never Ever' from All Saints along with 'The Boy Is Mine' from Brandy & Monica showcases some of the best R&B pop from the year, while the Spice Girls' 'Stop', Billie Piper's 'Because We Want To' and B*Witched's infectious 'C'est La Vie' bring a fresh, vibrant pure pop. With more feel-good smashes from Aqua, Steps, and Ricky Martin, plus Meja, Ace Of Base and The Corrs, who enjoyed a huge hit with their cover of Fleetwood Mac's classic 'Dreams'.
Disc 2 kicks off with Radiohead, R.E.M., and the Manic Street Preachers' 'If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next', which became their first #1 single. Oasis' epic 'All Around The World', topped the chart and became the longest-running UK #1 single of the year. Jamiroquai, The Cardigans, Stereophonics and Natalie Imbruglia were among the years' big successes for recently established chart hitmakers.
Disc 3 is a celebration of dance, club anthems, and infectious electronic beats - opening with Air and the timeless brilliance of 'Sexy Boy'. Cornershop's 'Brimful Of Asha' claimed the #1 spot, with a remix by Norman Cook who is up next as Fatboy Slim with 'The Rockafeller Skank', and also remixed 'Renegade Master' for Wildchild which became a defining dance floor anthem once again in 1998. Faithless' 'God Is A DJ' continued their run of hits, while Sash!, Vengaboys, Dario G, and Bus Stop & Carl Douglas enjoyed enjoyed crossover dance-pop smashes. More R&B/pop follows from Robyn, Ultra Naté, M People and Melanie B who became the first of the Spice Girls to achieve a #1 away from the group - with 'I Want You Back', a collaboration with Missy Elliott….and the disc signs off with another collaboration - between Texas and Wu-Tang Clan (& Robert F. “Price Rakeem Diggs) on a reworking of 'Say What You Want', extending the title to 'Say What You Want (All Day Every Day)'.
The final disc delivers a combination of massive hit ballads and infectious pop anthems. Robbie Williams' iconic 'Angels' became a career-defining track, Boyzone's 'No Matter What' became their biggest hit, and Aqua hit #1 for the third time with 'Turn Back Time'. Steps, 911, Cleopatra and Des'ree all made big impacts on the charts, and Catatonia, The Beautiful South and Fat Les all enjoyed huge hits, plus 1998 saw the return of Culture Club to the charts after a twelve-year absence. This celebration of 1998's hits closes with a run of the years' biggest pop ballads including from the Backstreet Boys, K-Ci & JoJo, B*Witched and signing off with the Spice Girls with their #1 'Viva Forever'…
