The Hits Album (15)
Encyclopedia
The Hits Album is a compilation album compiled by Sony Music TV and BMG
and released in the UK in August 1991. The album is considered an extension of the Hits series which originally launched in 1984. Although often listed as The Hits Album 15 in chart statistic books such as The Complete Book of British Charts, this was actually the fourteenth volume of the series. The mistake was made by the compilers, who gave the album the catalogue number CDHITS15.
Although a #1 album in the UK Top 20 Compilations Chart, the partners behind the Hits brand briefly retired the series after this volume although BMG
partnered up with established TV marketing company Telstar Records
in 1993 for the Hits 93 collections.
It was the third album in the series to be simply titled The Hits Album, following the first and ninth volumes.
