The Hits Album
Released in 1984 on CBS/WEA Records, The Hits Album is the first volume in the iconic annual UK chart compilation series — and one of the most remarkable. Capturing the UK and US charts at a moment of extraordinary creative richness, its 32 tracks across four sides span pop, soul, R&B, rock, new wave, and alternative, featuring some of the most celebrated recordings of the entire decade. From Michael Jackson to Prince, George Michael to Sade, Van Halen to Wham! — this is 1984 in a sleeve, and an essential piece of '80s vinyl history.
Stand-Out Tracks
- "Thriller" – Michael Jackson – The title track from the best-selling album of all time, a seven-minute horror-pop epic that remains one of the most iconic recordings in pop history.
- "Purple Rain" – Prince and the Revolution – The title track from Prince's masterpiece, a soaring, emotionally devastating power ballad that stands as one of the greatest rock performances ever committed to vinyl.
- "Careless Whisper" – George Michael – George Michael's debut solo single and a worldwide #1, one of the most recognisable saxophone riffs in pop history and a genuinely timeless recording.
- "Smooth Operator" – Sade – The breakthrough single from Sade's debut album, a silky, sophisticated jazz-pop gem that introduced one of the decade's most distinctive voices to the world.
- "Jump" – Van Halen – A US #1 and one of the defining rock singles of 1984, Eddie Van Halen's synthesizer riff making it one of the most instantly recognisable tracks on the record.
- "I Feel for You" – Chaka Khan – Prince-penned and Grandmaster Melle Mel-featuring, this US #1 R&B smash was one of the first major pop hits to incorporate rap and remains a landmark recording.
