Hits 96 is a compilation album released in 1995.

Following the relative success of Global Television's Hitz Blitz, it was decided to revive the Hits brand full-time with a double-album release.

Warner Music, one of the original partners of the Hits series, returned to the series for the first time since 1991's The Hits Album (15).

Unlike Now 35, which culled chart hits from mid to late 1995, Hits 96 actually collected chart hits from as early as 1993, as is the case with its album closer, "Boom!

Shake the Room" from DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince Number ones included: I Believe, Fairground, Never Forget and Boom!
