Garth Brooks - The Hits

description Garth Brooks - The Hits Overview

*The Hits* is a compilation album by American country music artist Garth Brooks, released in 1994. The album collects 18 of Brooks's most successful singles from his early 1990s catalog, including massive crossover hits like "Friends in Low Places" and "The Thunder Rolls." Notably, Brooks limited the album's production run and temporarily pulled it from retail circulation after a year to prevent the devaluation of his music. Despite this self-imposed restriction, the compilation sold over 10 million copies and remains one of the best-selling country albums of all time.

help Garth Brooks - The Hits FAQ

Which period of Garth Brooks's career does The Hits cover?

The collection draws from his breakthrough period spanning Garth Brooks, No Fences, Ropin' the Wind, The Chase, and In Pieces. It therefore concentrates on recordings released before the compilation appeared in 1994.

Which major songs are included on The Hits?

Its 18 tracks include Friends in Low Places, The Dance, The Thunder Rolls, Shameless, and Ain't Goin' Down ('Til the Sun Comes Up). The sequence captures many of Brooks's defining early country-radio singles.

Why is the original CD of The Hits unusual to collect?

The album was intentionally marketed as a limited-time release and later withdrawn from sale. Used copies remain common, but it is not a continuously stocked catalog compilation in the way many greatest-hits albums are.

Does The Hits include every Garth Brooks number-one single from that era?

No. An 18-track disc cannot contain every major single from five successful studio albums, and songs such as Much Too Young (To Feel This Damn Old) are absent.
