Capitalising on a resurgence of Erasure's music after their successful covers album Other People's Songs, Mute released Hits!

in order to reintroduce people to the duo's music and to give an update to their 1992 singles compilation Pop!

This new version includes the same two discs as the original release, along with a DVD containing 35 Erasure music videos.

According to the official Erasure website, the album was "part of a series of budget titles put together by EMI specifically for sale through 'non-traditional outlets'".

The Very Best of Erasure compilation, bordered by a generic sleeve design used on the packaging for other artists also featured in the series.
