Now That's What I Call Music XIII or Now 13 was released in 1988. The album is the 13th edition of the (UK) Now! series and one of only two editions to use Roman numerals in the title as opposed to numbers (Now 2 was also released as numerals). It was released on vinyl, audio cassette & CD formats. It reached number 1 on the UK Albums Chart for four weeks. This would be the last compilation album to be number 1 on the chart, as the UK Compilations Chart was created in January 1989 due to the dominance of compilations in the albums chart over the previous few years, and subsequent Now! albums would chart there instead.
