Hits (stylised as ...Hits) is the first greatest hits album by the English drummer and singer-songwriter Phil Collins. It was released on 5 October 1998 in the United Kingdom,[3] and one day later in the United States.[4] The collection included fourteen top 40 hits, including seven American number one songs, spanning from the albums Face Value (1981) through Dance into the Light (1996). One new Collins recording, a cover of Cyndi Lauper`s `True Colors`, also appeared on the collection and was a popular song on adult contemporary stations. Hits was also the first Phil Collins album to include four songs originally recorded for motion pictures (all of them US number-one hits) as well as his popular duet with Philip Bailey, `Easy Lover` (a UK number-one hit).

In 1998, the album reached number one in the United Kingdom and number 18 in the United States. It was reissued in 2008, following the usage of `In the Air Tonight` in a successful Cadbury advertisement campaign. On 4 August 2008, it became the number one album on the New Zealand RIANZ album chart. In July 2012, the album re-entered the US charts, reaching number six on the Billboard 200 when the album price was deeply discounted very briefly by Amazon.[5][6] It has sold 3,429,000 in the US as of July 2012.[6]

The compilation`s cover features stylised versions of the cover art for Collins` first six albums, the collection`s primary sources of songs.

Since the release of Hits there have been further compilations of Phil Collins songs. The Platinum Collection and Love Songs: A Compilation... Old and New were both released in 2004, while The Singles appeared in 2016.
