  • Hits 96 is a compilation album released in 1995. Part of the Hits compilation series, it contains UK hit singles from the second half of 1995. The album reached number 1 on the UK compilations chart and was at number 1 for a total of five weeks. 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). The album was released in 1995 - but copies of the album incorrectly state the album's copyright date as 1996. Hits 96 was a rival to Now 32, the year-ending chart release of Hits's main rival series, Now That's What I Call Music!, though the releases were released a month apart. 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! Shake the Room (Remix) (en)
