Now That's What I Call Music 4
Compilation album by various artists
NOW004UKCover.jpg
Released 26 November 1984
Label Virgin / EMI
Series chronology
Now 3 (1984) Now 4 (1984) Now 5 (1985)

Now That's What I Call Music 4 or Now 4 was released in 1984. The album is the fourth edition of the (UK) Now! series. It is the only album in the series which failed to reach number one on the UK Albums Chart, kept off the top by Hits 1. Although one of its predecessors Now 2 was released earlier that year and charted higher, Now 4 had managed to sell more copies than Now 2 by the end of the year.

Although Now 4 was the first in the series to be released on CD, this was only a single-CD release containing 15 tracks (compared to 32 on the standard double LP and cassette). In addition, it included tracks from the regular Now 4, Now 3 and Now 2 releases, the latter two having been released earlier in 1984. (The Now 4 cassette makes reference to "The Best of Now 1984 CD" as being "Also Available", but does not confirm whether this was the originally planned title for the CD that was ultimately released as Now 4).

It would be a further two years later before another regularly numbered Now album was released on CD, with a single-disc issue of Now 8, although Now - The Christmas Compact Disc and Now '86 were also made available on the format. The CD format became regular from 1987 with a double-disc issue of Now 10 being the first major release.

On 8 November 2019, Now 4 was reissued.
