Hits (compilation Series)
''Hits'' - also commonly known as ''The Hits Album'' - is a long-running compilation album series containing contemporary chart music. It originally ran in the United Kingdom and parts of Europe for over twenty years from 1984 until 2006. It was compiled as a joint venture, variously between the compilation arms of the Sony Music, RCA/Bertelsmann Music Group, BMG, and Warner Music groups to rival the ''Now That's What I Call Music'' series that had launched a year earlier in 1983, compiled by rival companies EMI and Virgin Records, Virgin. Initially, the ''Hits'' brand was arguably as popular as its main rival and all of the first eight volumes achieved at least a platinum BPI award, with several of the very early albums going multi-platinum.
