Now That's What I Call Music! 1981 – The Millennium Series

Now That's What I Call Music! 1981 - The Millennium Series is a compilation album in the Now That's What I Call Music! series.

Containing songs from 1981, the Now series didn't actually begin in 1983, but several of the songs on the album appeared in the main Now series. This is due to re-issues (such as "Vienna"'s re-release in 1993 and "In the Air Tonight"'s re-release in 2007) harking the songs back into the charts, thus being compiled into Now albums.
