In the early '80s, Collins took a break from the helm of Genesis to inaugurate a solo career that abandoned his group's art-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, infectious pop-funk ("Sussudio") and moody atmospheric pieces ("In the Air Tonight") HITS represents the full range of material this prolific performer has turned out over the course of his wildly successful career.

Average Rating: (4.7 out of 5 stars)    List All 18 Reviews The Hits +
This is a fine collection and deserves a 5 star rating, but would have been even better with the following: Long, Long Way To Go, Don't Lose My Number, Inside Out. I am sure there is even more unsung hits, that should have been included. We will have to wait for a more expanded hits collection.

Was This Review Helpful? Yes No 2 of 2 found this helpful.  Good one
This is one of his best albums as all his hits at the time are their.
Need a comparation with Peter Gabriel hits to know which one of the both is the best with 5 stars, as former genesis singers.
You know my choice
But still a very good CD to listen and listen again.

This CD is so moving and has wonderful songs that you can relax to. Nice songs to dance and some to think about life.
