From 2000 until 2023, So Fresh albums were released four times per year, named after each season (Summer, Autumn, Winter and Spring), consisting of current hit songs from artists signed to Sony, BMG or Universal.
Every edition from Spring 2000 to Winter 2016 was certified at least platinum (for over 70,000 copies shipped or sold),[a] and every year from 2001–2011, 2014–2015 and 2017–2024, the year's highest selling compilation in Australia has been a So Fresh album.
[5] As of Summer 2024, all 94 seasonal So Fresh albums have reached number one on the ARIA Compilations Chart.
From September 2003[6] until approximately November 2006,[7] So Fresh also ran a weekly TV show on the Nine Network, featuring "music clips, interviews [and] the ARIA top 10", hosted by Jules Lund (replaced by David Whitehill circa early 2004[8]) and Elysia Pratt.
[6] Typically, So Fresh's Autumn, Winter and Spring releases are a single CD, while the Summer releases are a two-CD set, mixing current hits with the "biggest hits" or "best" of the past year.
