Now That's What I Call Music 85 has been revealed as the biggest selling album on iTunes in 2013.
Despite the digital age, the compilation albums are more popular than ever, and the latest collection has topped the iTunes end of year charts, outselling huge albums by the likes of Arctic Monkeys, Daft Punk, David Bowie and many more to take the top spot.
Speaking of the ongoing success of the Now series, the company's Managing Director, Peter Duckworth told Sky News in November, 2013: "In an era of downloads, when people said a few years ago that it's the end of the compilation because people can now choose their tracks from iTunes, they've been proved wrong."
"You can buy every track on iTunes or listen to them on Spotify, but people want some guidance and help... If you are faced with 15 million tracks, Now helps you choose."
