The "Now!" compilations’ have sold extremely well in the U.S. Each of the first 29 volumes has received at least a platinum certification, and 18 albums from the series have reached number one on the "Billboard" 200 albums chart, more than any individual recording artist except the Beatles. However, recent releases have not sold as well, with "Now! 34" selling only 88,000 copies in its first week, compared to the 621,000 copies "Now! 7" sold in its debut week in July 2001.
