It’s interesting to note that the Srimad Bhagavatam was compiled two times, first as one of the 18 original Puranas, compiled by Vyasadeva before the Mahabharata and later as the Srimad Bhagavatam we have today, which was compiled much later, after the disappearance of Lord Krsna.
The story was that after compiling all the Vedas, including the original Bhagavata Purana (the Srimad Bhagavatam), the Mahabharata, and the Vedanta Sutra, Vyasadeva was still feeling dissatisfied, not having sufficiently described the glories of the Lord. At this point, Narada Muni appears and mildly chastizes him for having given too much importance to indirect topics in his previous works, and not having written a book that exclusively glorifies Krsna. After that, Vyasadeva proceeded to compile the second version of the Srimad Bhagavatam, an expanded version of the original Bhagavata Purana he had compiled earlier. This is explained by Srila Jiva Goswami in his Tattva-Sandarbha (verse 48):
