Hits is a greatest hits collection by the English rock band Pulp, released in November 2002.

Background

As a collection, Hits only covers Pulp's singles from the early 1990s when they started becoming popular, although the band had existed in one form or another since 1978. "Mis-Shapes", from Different Class, is the only hit single not included here, apparently because the band cannot stand the song. Two other singles, "Common People" and "Disco 2000", are presented in their Different Class album mixes rather than their more familiar (but since deleted) "hit" single versions. The compilation also includes non-single track "Underwear" and a new song "Last Day of the Miners' Strike".

The album was also released on DVD under the same title, featuring the band's promotional videos from the same era, a number of live performances, documentaries and short movies.

CD

Note: "Underwear" appears on the UK version of the album only – however it is listed in error on the sleeve of the Canadian version.
