Amazon.co.uk Review
For better or worse, Phil Collins's "In the Air Tonight" was the "Stairway to Heaven" of the 1980s, winning radio stations' listener polls and even lending its designer threat to an episode of Miami Vice. Hits recalls the days when the Collins name on a disc ensured its immediate embrace by programmers and the public. How you feel about these songs will depend on how you felt about them then; despite the undeniable niceness of "Take Me Home" and "One More Night", they're unlikely to win over anyone who didn't adore them to begin with. Those who cared, though, will no doubt be gladdened to find most of Collins's biggest tunes together on one disc. --Rickey Wright

CD Description
In the early '80s, Collins took a break from the helm of Genesis to inaugurate a solo career that abandoned his group'sart-rock agenda for a mainstream pop approach. In the ensuing years, the king of Nice Guy Pop established himself as one of the world's premier top 40 balladeers, as evidenced by the wall-to-wall hits that make up the balance of this appropriately titled collection. HITS walks the listener through the smooth, well-produced Collins hits that have worked their way into the collective consciousness of radio listeners (even casual ones) over the years. There are majestic power ballads ("I Wish It Would Rain") to light-hearted, infectiouspop-funk ("Sussudio") and moody atmospheric pieces ("In theAir Tonight") HITS represents the full range of material this prolific performer has turned out over the course of his wildly successful career.

Customer Reviews

A concise compilation that every music fan should own!!
If you were to only buy one Phil Collins album in your entire life then this shold be it! The album charts Phil's greatest chart successes such as the classic "In the air tonight," the motown tribute "You can't hurry love," his recently covered "Against all odds" and "Another day in paradise and his electric duet with Philip Bailey on "Easy Lover."
Phil seems to have fallen into the category of writing slushy love songs when in reality, this guy is a true songwriting genius. Undoubtedly he has written some slow songs, but compare those with the likes of "Sussudio" and "Easy Lover" which both topped the dance charts in 1985.
I have only in the last few years got to realise how talented and basically great this bloke is. This cd should convert novices into full-time Phil fans-go and buy it now!!
I would also like to recommend the track "Something happened on the way to heaven" which was originally on his "BUT SERIOUSLY" album. Although this track only reached number 15 in the UK chart, it should have been an instant chart topper as it seems to define his style at this time and is a great sing along tune.

LIKE I SAID ABOVE....GO AND BUY THIS ALBUM INSTANTLY!!

This CD appeals to all age groups and is an instant hit.
The choice of tracks on this Phil Collins CD is excellent. Every track is well known and liked by most people. The sound recording and clarity is perfect and out of all the hits that Collins has recorded these must be the most popular.
The interesting point about this CD is that when it is played in a public place (i.e. a bar or restaurant), all age groups either begin singing to each track or tapping their feet, many ask who the recording artist is because they feel they know the music but can't remember who recorded the songs.
I don't need to go through each song, as the reader can see from the playlist what is on the CD, however, I will say it is a must for any CD collection, even if, like me, you have had no other Phil Collins recordings the purchaser will benefit from this one.
One final 'ditty', this CD was so popular that I had to purchase a second copy.....the first one was stolen!

Absolutely fantastic
If you like Phil Collins but don't own any of his albums this is a CD that you must buy. It contains almost all of his hit songs and it is one of the best "The Best" albums I have ever bought from any artist. All his solo career is summarised in this album. Don't miss it!
